Another missing Florida woman

UPDATE : Her car was said to be found in an apartment complex near Conroy and I-4.

 UPDATE: Her phone powered down at 8:01 pm near Oakridge. There will be fliers being posted there according to a Facebook page created for her. The check point is JESSIE BLACK'S ON OAKRIDGE. Bring tape, tennis shoes, and plenty of liquids.


Police are asking for the public's help in finding a missing Orlando woman.
Michelle Parker, 33, was last Thursday afternoon around 2:30 p.m. by some friends.Michelle appeared on The People's Court this same day. Orlando police said Parker has a "violent history" with her ex-boyfriend.Parker drives a black Hummer with license plate AWG M26. Anyone with information is asked to call the Orlando Police Department at 321-235-5300.
The last woman that was missing was Osceola County's Nicole Fields. Her body was found last Thursday after missing for 2 weeks. She was last seen with her ex-boyfriend, Steven Louis,  who is also the father of her baby. She was found not far from his home in Poinciana. He has been charged in her murder.  My husband apparently had met her at a friend's house though he doesn't recall her. Small world!

Judge delays welfare drug ruling

A federal judge decided to take more time before ruling on whether to grant an injunction to a man challenging a Florida law that requires state welfare applicants to be drug-tested before receiving assistance.
Judge Mary Scriven also gave attorneys for the Florida Department of Children & Families a 14-day extension Monday to challenge a motion on whether Luis Lebron's lawsuit can represent all Florida welfare applicants.
A 35-year-old Navy veteran and father of a 4-year-old son, Lebron applied to Florida's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families this year. He met the program's eligibility requirements but was denied assistance after he refused to take the drug test as required by a law that took effect in July. He then sued DCF.
"I feel I have served my country and served my Constitution," Lebron said. "I just want it to serve me."
The Florida American Civil Liberties Union says Lebron and other welfare applicants are being forced to forfeit their constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure by submitting to the drug testing. They argued that the program has been in existence since 1996 and never required the test before.
DCF, which oversees the program, has tested 1,500 to 2,000 recipients since mid-July. About 2.5 percent tested positive and about 2 percent declined to take the test, state officials said.
I don't understand what the problem is with this program. If you really need assistance and you're not on drugs then so be it! Take the damn test! If you are taking drugs, then how about stop spending money on that and pay some rent! Deal with it!

Living together? Not married? Live in Florida? You're breaking the law!

Unmarried couples who want to take the plunge and move in together, take heart. A Florida legislator is seeking to make you legal.
"Cohabitation" of unmarried people is currently a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by $500 or up to 60 days in jail. The same penalty applies to cheating husbands and wives — though only to opposite-sex couples.
The laws have been on the books since the late 1800s, but are rarely enforced. In 2006, though, a Jacksonville woman did take advantage of the law and have her husband arrested for cheating, according to a news report. (It's not clear how the case came out.)
Now, Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, is on a mission to repeal the statutes penalizing adultery and cohabitation, as well as other laws he finds outdated, like a requirement that all bicycle riders keep one hand on the handle bars.
Wonder if other states will follow his lead and start to repeal some of their outdated and dumb laws such as:
Dominoes may not be played on Sunday. (Alabama)
It is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church. (Alabama)
It is illegal to wipe one’s car with used underwear. (San Francisco, CA)
A woman may not buy a hat without her husband’s permission. (Owensboro, Kentucky)
