Thoroughly Disappointed!

I am very disappointed in Naples Daily News and how they are handling elections for Collier County Commission races this year.  We have 3 Commission seats up for grabs.  District's 2, 3, and 5.  And since District 2 has all Republicans, that Commission seat will be announced in the August primary.

Now let's take a look at District 3 and 5.  We don't just have Republicans running for these seats, but both districts also have a Democrat as well. Annisa Karim and Tamara Paquette. The winner of the August primary will go up against these ladies in the General Election.

So why am I so ticked off?  Because Naples Daily News keeps leaving the Democrats out of not only a survey that has gone out to only Republican candidates, but also holding a recent "Men's Republican Club Forum", and lastly, a very important Commission forum coming up August 17th.  Naples Daily News is hosting this forum and everyone in District 3 and 5 are invited, except for the running Democrats again!  What gives Naples Daily News?

Turkey Turds and Rainwater

November 16th, 2011 Looks as though the Kniolas are preparing for a holiday Thanksgiving, filled with plenty of turkey turds and rainwater! Yes, it's true, we now own two adorable, yet really ugly turkeys. I specifically rounded them up for my husbands birthday since it was coming up soon. I figured since they were only three months old, they would be small enough to hide until his actually birthday. Well, I was wrong! When I arrived to pick them up with my two youngest, I just about fell over dead. They already stood two feet tall! My mind swirled around in shock over their sizes as I wondered how was I going to fit them in this little box filled with hay? How was I going to drive them in my van if they flew around crashing into windows? I knew I was in for an interesting ride home. The boys helped me pick out just the right two as a flock of 12 to 14 other adult turkeys gobble, gobble, and gobbled some more as they followed their owners every move. ...

Beary Beary Sad

Over the last few weeks and knowing this bear hunt vote was looming over our heads, it put me in a different place.  A place where I don’t care to be. You all know I’m a big lover on animals as most are, but to have that Florida bear hunt vote pass yesterday just sickens me. And I will be posting some graphic pictures throughout my blog just to show you how sickening it really is.  We’ll start off with this one. How does this make you feel right now? I am a realistic person and I clearly understand bears have grown in numbers over the years, but if we could have been a bit more pro-active in a stronger sense, this forthcoming bear hunt would not be happening.  Should not be happening.  I am so saddened by it. Some may say we have been pro-active as to taking these bears and relocating them to different areas, but they just find their way back.  I understand it does not always work, but has the bears hurt anyone?  Is this new hunt ou...

Happy New Year 2016!  (Yeah, I know it’s 2017) This is my yearly recap of my past year and blogs throughout 2016.  I am seriously lagging here. It's already the 30th of January.  So today, I write! If interested in my 2015 blog, you can find it here and on my blogspot site:  “2015″ http://kniola.blogs.naplesnews.com/2016/01/06/2015-by-annette-kniola/ To begin, I definitely will say, the year 2016 was the most trying year I ever had since my divorce.  I did the best I could to hide it throughout the year, because I am the positive happy type and I hate writing about dreary bad things.  That's just not who I am and never will be. But in a nut shell,  I was pretty much in bed sick for half the year.  There was still many good times and bad, but let's just say I'm glad it's over.    My family 2016                    ...
