Some us have been lucky to not need the services of these kind of Doctors. Genetics looks better than Man Made.
I am not sure they sell enough beads for me.
Only kidding...... But you will never know.

In a free market, whatever the product merits.

Of course it depends on the audience.

I’ll hit an upcoming parade, lift my shirt and report back asap

All good.  My imagination creates the most amazing scenes.

I’ll put you on the beach in your favorite swimsuit, fog the edges of the camera lens and you’ll get at least a soft “R” rating, I promise.

The beach and my thong just don’t mix very well. I tend to get that sand stuck in all those tiny little nooks and crannies. Can be quite irritating to say the least.

I rather be sun bathing on a yacht being overtaken by those pirates. Heard it could be a very exciting experience.

I am amazed at the insensitive comments I read in today’s paper.  I think in all our prevention tactics somewhere along the way some of us have forgotten that a couple lost their child in this tragic accident.  Are there safety concerns here?  Yes.  But, people please stop playing the blame game and making ridiculous comments.  The commissioners in Plant City did not say this ban is forever, just until a safe solution can be found.  With the short time between Christmas and the Strawberry Festival Parade, the best action they can take to ensure safety is this ban.  Mr. Raulerson stated that a safe solution may be reached at a later date.  I think we all need to consider how safe we would like our own child to be at parades when we participate in any way including float design, allowing children to ride, etc.  But saying insulting things like people didn’t supervise their kid or put the candy in a stupid place just adds to the pain of this family.  Please consider that some things should not be said in light of the death of a sweet child.  The commissioners simply do not want to have to notify or comfort another family after a child or adult for that matter is injured or killed.  There are a lot of rules already in place violated each year at the parade that could result in injuries or death.  If you need beads and candy that bad, take $20 to the Dollar store and fill up a bag.  I’d rather take my kids home safe and sound without a bag full of junk.  This is a local parade, we can entertain ourselves looking for folks we know or pointing out local celebs/officials and explaining their jobs to the kids.  My child rode a float in the Christmas parade and got the most joy out of WAVING like a princess to people on the sidewalk.  Guess what?  Most of them simply smiled and waved back!  Personally, I will be at the next parade with my kids and a packed picnic to satisfy their tummies while we look for folks to wave at and enjoy.  We’ll bring our own treats and consider it a privilege to live in a town where our city cares about our safety.
