The bigger the city, the less they focus on the street walkers it seems. We are the 20th largest in the US. They seem to have a small town out look. May have something to do with the bible belt thing. They need those votes!

I know this is totally off topic but I was wondering if some of the regulars who are football fans would like to start a fantasy football league? I usually run a few on yahoo and thought it might be fun to do a league with some of you guys. PM me if interested, you don't have to be a senior members but at least be a regular who has a few posts so we know who you are, you would need a yahoo account to play, I can give guys who want to play the info for the league so they can join anonymously if they don't want to give out their emails but will send the league info in a PM.
A few notes I do live drafts only, but try to have them at a decent time so everyone can participate, I also like advanced scoring but nothing too outrageous just a little more than the standard basic scoring, usually do points per reception / carry and individual defensive players instead of team defense.
Also taking suggestions on a league name, right now thinking about going with "Charlotte Monger Fantasy League" or CMFL for short (LOL maybe we can all name our teams after our favorite charlotte providers. LOL) anyway it should be fun for anyone who wants to play, any regulars are welcome even if you don't have a lot of experience with fantasy football (at least be a fan of the NFL though. LOL) but all I ask is that if you join the league stay active till the end of the season.
Oh and think of it this way, if it ends up being all senior and trusted members it could be a good place for sharing info too during the football season. And who knows maybe we all chip in and buy the winner a rub at their favorite AMP? . LOL (for a 10 team league that would only be $10 per players and that would cover an hour plus a $20 tip) we can talk about that once we get the league full and see if guys want to do something like that or we can always just play for fun

If someone notices the name you could always say it the Charlotte Mecklenberg Fantasy League. Count me in.
Once again, elected officials protecting society by cleaning the streets of thugs and criminals. Although this time it didn't happen in Charlotte.
[quote]Members of Orlando Food Not Bombs were arrested Wednesday when police said they violated a city ordinance by feeding the homeless in Lake Eola Park.
Jessica xxxxx. 24, Benjamin xxxxx. 49, and Jonathan "Keith" xxxxx. 54, were arrested at 6:10 pm on a charge of violating the ordinance restricting group feedings in public parks. Jonathan is a co-founder of the international Food Not Bombs movement, which began in the early 1980s.
The group lost a court battle in April, clearing the way for the city to enforce the ordinance. It requires groups to obtain a permit and limits each group to two permits per year for each park within a 2-mile radius of City Hall. Arrest papers state that three people helped feed 40 people Wednesday night. The ordinance applies to feedings of more than 25 people.
"They intentionally violated the statute," said Lt. Barbara Jones, an Orlando police spokeswoman.
"They basically carted them off to jail for feeding hungry people," said Coleman.
The penalty for violating Orlando's ordinance is 60 days in jail, a $500 fine or both.

Hard to have any sympathy for them, they could have done this outside the park and had not only been warned but went to court over this prior to this incident, going back into the park was just asking for trouble. It's not like they were told they could not feed the homeless, they were only told they could not do it in the park.

With the state of the economy, to waste tax payer's money prosecuting someone for feeding a homeless person, even if it was on the steps of the courthouse is stupid! Just think if they used that money to by food, how many more could have gotten something to eat!
But now not only don't they get the food that could have been bought (with the wasted tax dollars) , they don't get anymore food from the people arrested.
Amazing! How do laws like this get passed to begin with?

I get what your saying, but when I think about it and see that if these people would have done the same thing right outside the park and not gotten arrested, and they knew this as well, then they seem to me to be more about making a statement than really helping the homeless. After reading that story the law doesn't even apply to all parks just those within a mile of city hall, so why do those people not only have to do this inside a park but inside THAT park?
Wait I probably shouldn't be in on this topic, ill get yelled at for not talking about sex.

And I agree that it's a waste of th taxpayers money, but lets be honest we are only getting one side of the story. This is not an old law thats been on the books forever it's a fairly new law so maybe there was a good reason for it to be passed? Maybe the city had a problem with homeless people sleeping / living in the parks, I know it's rough being homeless but many cities have to have laws about where and when people can plop down all their stuff so they arent a nuisance to other people. I have a park near my house I like to go to all the time. I take my dog for walks I use the tennis courts etc but if all of a sudden this park was a refuge for homeless people I would probably stop going, maybe thats what happened here and why orlando passed that law? I'm just trying to see the issue from the side thats not being represented in this news story
It could be a tourist area too? We are talking about ORLANDO?

BTW, I really love a nice long BBBJ, LOL! I got sex in my post!
Wasn't sure which thread to post this in so picked the general one. Does anyone recommend a salon / spa for shaving / waxing? Talking about the old back, crack and sack variety.
Any info would be highly apprecaited, thanks.
You can either reply to the thread or privately if you prefer.
I know a guy who's a little over age 50, who met a hot young 21 year old stripper and dated her for about a year. He was surprised it even lasted that long. He said it was a great sugar daddy / sugar baby relationship. He took care of her and she took care of him. Almost weekly, sometimes more often. I imagine he spent thousands of dollars on her. While he enjoyed her company, he thought he could take care of her by showing her a better life. But it didn't happen.
For those of you that have dated these girls before, which of the following things do you think would bring about the end of such a relationship:
- a mean boyfriend, who's a convicted felon, with lies about him.
- addiction to pain pills. And lies about it.
- arrests for trespassing and shoplifting, says she didn't do it.
- arrest warrants for failing to appear in court.
- drivers license suspension for DUI.
- drivers license revoked for driving while suspended.
- addiction to other drugs, not sure how many or which ones, and lies about it.
- moving 2 or 3 times into awful, dirty, poor trailer neighborhoods.
- ends up living on the street, blowing all money on drugs, and denies it.
- jail time.
I'll give you a hint: it was all of the above.
Have fun. Don't try this at home.
