| Going bananas means going crazy, becoming insane. It may also mean to go wild with anger, or to erupt with enthusiasm with accompanying cheering. The term going bananas is not as old as one may think, it has its roots on American college campuses in the 1960s. It is believed that the term going bananas is a term that evolved from the idiom going ape, which also means to go crazy, to explode with anger or to erupt with enthusiasm. The close association of apes and monkeys with bananas in the Western imagination probably gave rise to the term going bananas. For a brief time in the 1930s the term going bananas referred to someone who was sexually perverted, but that meaning has long fallen by the wayside. Related phrases are go bananas, goes bananas, went bananas. |

| [Native Critters] How is the rattlesnake found on Cudjoe an ‘interloper’. They have been here a lot longer than humans by many thousands of years. And this one, I don’t believe was ‘caught’, as it is dead. I found the snake by Banana Cabana on Thursday morning, in the road, squished by a car and covered in flies. |

[“High water bill”] The mystery high water usage is almost always a “haunted” toilet. Either it is slowly leaking at the flush valve flapper, or the fill valve is not completely shutting off. Put some food coloring in the toilet tank and leave the lid off. Don’t use the toilet and check for color in the bowl. The other thing a toilet may do is to not seat the flush valve properly on every flush. |
| [United Way] When COVID-19 hit, over 31,000 Monroe County households were one emergency away from financial ruin, setting the stage for the unprecedented economic impact of the crisis. Florida’s latest ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Report, released today by United Ways in Florida, in partnership with United For ALICE, highlights hardworking yet struggling residents who have little or no savings and are especially vulnerable to the ramifications of COVID-19. The Florida ALICE Report and the Monroe County ALICE breakdown can be viewed at KeysUnitedWay.org/ALICE. |

| [Weapons] I totally agree that any automatic weapon should be banned, but the laws already say that. No hunter needs more than 3 Rounds to hunt deer or any other animal, if they are skilled and need to. These military style weapons are for the advanced masturbationist who has a need for sexual gratification. Ha! Really, there is logically no need for any weapons in a civilized culture, except for Game Wardens, and Zoo Keepers. There is no reason for war if humans were mature and intelligent, but we are no more that way than ants, or wild beasts. Most will say we need weapons or the other guys will take away our stuff. That defines humanity’s mental level. The simple fact of eating is what drives all creatures to survive. From the smallest virus to the huge Blue Whale, all kill to eat and exist. God screwed up big time by not giving us nutrition just by breathing. It sure would be a clean world if he did. |

| [Don’t Get Scammed] Scammers are experts at shifting tactics and changing their messages to catch you off guard. This is especially true as they take advantage of anxieties related to the Coronavirus. Here’s a quick alert about some current government imposter scams using COVID-19 that are popping up on our radar. Link |

| [Neighbors, Be Damned] This man had put a Trump flag on his dock and the people across the canal from his house complained to the club. Apparently, they have a rule that you can’t hang political signs on your property. Admirals told him that he had to take the flag down. The guy got pissed and sent his boat to get a detailed vinyl wrapped and officially named the boat Trump. This is a video of him bringing the boat home after getting it vinyl wrapped. Video |

| [Phone Scam] I answered a phone call today. “Hi, and how are you doing today?” “I’m Fine” “Is this the (my correct last name) residence?” “Yes, who is this?” “You don’t recognize my voice?” “No, who is this?” “This is your Granddaughter.”I said very slowly “S-u-r-e”. She said, “OK, bye”. I’m sure 90% of households in my age group would have a granddaughter, but I do not. I wish I’d have asked, “Which one?” I’ll bet the answer would have been, “Your favorite.” I wonder how many people wire money to this scammer. |

| [Virus] People are ramey[?] and being that way they forget what will kill them. This bug in not the common seasonal flu, but many times more dangerous. With it mutating into new forms masks really are useless. We have to hide and not get exposed to this thing. I don’t give a F who says what officially or greedily (the merchants). Stay safe in your house. F all else! There is no cure yet or even in sight. |
[“Going bananas”] Also, bananas are a very high glycemic index fruit and should be avoided by people seeking to lose fat or diabetics or people with any kind of cardiovascular disease. The carbohydrates (Sugar) in them spikes insulin and thus cortisol. This converts the carbohydrates into fat which your body then stores in your belly, your organs – – mainly your liver, and inside your arteries. The energetic spike one feels from eating sugar is followed by a low energy crash. This often makes people eat more carbs and this cycle is what makes us fat and diseased. The solution: don’t eat fruits high in sugar like bananas. Don’t eat many carbs at all. Eat meat and fat and low carb fruits like berries and low carb vegetables like broccoli and spinach, etc. This will cause your body to burn the fat, in the food, and stored in your body instead of the sugar. Awesome. |

| [Virus] What is good and what is useless that can be shut down to control the spread of this virus killer? To put is simply, any business that does not produce food, water, sewage removal, or supply fuel for emergency vehicles, police, hospitals, and doctors. Think hard and realize all other businesses and endeavors are really unnecessary to life on earth. Arts, sports, travel, tourism, wars, entertainment and religions are examples. Maybe this horror will teach people to save half of their earned income for emergencies, and live life as though they are not a credit card with feet. Hopefully, they will learn what is important and what is not. Those that live on cloud 9, will never acknowledge this reality until they get sick and die. |
[Virus Cure] Do not under any circumstance take a disinfectant if you are currently taking Windex for windmill cancer. |
| [“Refusing social distancing”] I give up on humanity. It is not worth trying to convince these people. People should stay at home until a medical fix cures this plague. People are so childish they will risk their lives to hit the beaches, go to a party, or hang out in some seedy bar. Sometimes I think this is Nature’s way to thin out the heard and allow the thinkers and realists to take back this monster playground man has created. |
