My Thoughts Exactly by Annette Kniola

March 6, 2016 Yadda, yadda, yadda…  Yes, I can already hear my Naples readers squirming in their seats.  Lol! Whatever! I have been out for awhile for good reasons, but hell, I might as well come back with a…… Just can’t seem to help myself anymore with this insanity that’s going on daily over the news.  Yes, I am talking about the Presidential campaign. As most of you know, I say it like it is, and really don’t give a rats ass what most think.  Now mind you, we all have our differences in this world and I am very thankful to be very much a part of it, but this election is killing me!  I call it a Trump Virus and I want nothing to do with it. A virus is a small infectious agent(man) that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms (voters). Viruses can infect all types of life forms(Democrats and Republicans). I have had numerous thoughts and still see our world has alot of good in some aspects, yet poor in others....

January 29, 2016 Good Morning, I decided there were so many things to write about in our area of District 5, that I just figured I would write one by one about the many happenings.  Just so many!! As we all know, Commissioner Nance will no longer hold the post this come November and I am really concerned about who will take the helm thereafter. It’s actually freaking me out!  So I need to throw my thoughts out there and try to get some stuff moving along or at least let you know how I feel about them. First of all, I want that $3 million ATV money the county has been holding onto for much too long.  I wrote this post below on my Estates site this morning to all the community members.  My site is 1,624 members strong and growing every day.  Everyone wants to keep tabs on what the hell is going to happen out here and I do my best to let them know.  Here is the link if interested. https://www.facebook.com/theestatescommunitynaplesflori...

January 6, 2016  Happy New Year 2015!  (Yeah, I know it’s 2016 now. Duh! I  should have this written last week for goodness sakes!~  Lol!) Happy Valentines Day! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! April  Fools!  And Easter too! Happy  Mothers Day! Happy Fathers Day! Happy Fourth of July! Not a damn thing in August unless you celebrate watermelon and s’mores day.(So stupid). Happy Labor Day! And 9/11 observed. Happy Halloween!  Or Happy Birthday to me! (Same day). Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! There, all done.  Lol! This is the second year I have tried the old yearly recap and I like the idea.  Last years “2014″ was an interesting one and to be honest with you, each year will grow more interest I am sure.  Here is “2014″. http://kniola.blogs.naplesnews.com/?s=2014 I will start off with saying, “Holy Smokes!”  2015 was one helluva ride!  A very fun and interesting one as well.  And yep, s...

December 3, 2015   Well Hello there!  Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is now getting ready for Ole Saint Nick! Here is our Kniola 2015 Thanksgiving pic.  My boys are growing so fast!  Before you know it, I’ll be the shortest of them all.  Won’t that be a hoot! Thanksgiving 2015 Unfortunately, on this day I was sick as a dog. We celebrated at my sisters, but I lasted about the time for this picture and was home in bed the rest of the day.  I have been hit with the double wammy of an infection and the flu all in one shot. Total bummer for the Holidays.  But being sick without health insurance is what I want to write about today.  And yes, thankfully I have been to the doctor, and as of today, I am getting close to feeling normal again. As most of my readers know, I was married 21 years, but divorced back in 2014.  For all my life, I never went without health insurance.  I kept up on everything.  Fro...
