![]() I’m surprised at the lack of care for the sick patient that department exhibits. I’m sick and worried to death and need help. They are the only hospital that does PET scans down here and they only come down once a month. I’m afraid to miss them because of the hospital’s lack of caring in scheduling my appointment. After note: I was so pissed that I wrote the above complaint and posted it on yelp.com Hospital reviews. Within two hours of posting the review the hospital called with the appointment info. Thank goodness for Yelp and TripAdvisor. ~b33043@outlook.com |
(Editor: In cast I’m late publishing Friday’s CT. Boo hoo again. My computer just died. The battery overheated and expanded, deforming the case and bending it. I’ve been having trouble for a while with it, so I ordered another laptop. I just received it, but only got as far as taking it out of the box when my old laptop passed away — just now. I was able to revive it, I hope enough to get the Coconut Telegraph out on time today. The case is heating up. I hope it lasts for another hour while I put together the CT. It’s always something.) |

[Brittany Griner] Many folks seem actually disappointed that America went out of its way to free a Black, lesbian, tattooed female athlete who has refused to come out of the locker room for the national anthem. I know I am. Our government traded this for the “merchant of death” arms dealer |
![]() I have to brake hard, toss my booze and coke out the window, fasten my seatbelt, toss my phone on the floor, turn my radio down and push the gun under the seat–all while trying to drive! It’s just too much drama, even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Remember, it ain’t easy living in the Keys. |
[Low Life] Living in KW and reading the sheriff office arrests, it astonishes me that so many people are arrested for DWI, fighting, out of county warrants, etc. I see the people on Duval Street losing their damn minds with booze and drugs. It’s sad. |

[Topless beaches legal on Nantucket Island] It is now legal for women – and men – to be topless at beaches on the popular vacation island of Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts. Earlier this year, a local-led “Gender Equality on Beaches” campaign proposed a bylaw amendment that would make it legal for anyone of any gender to go nude from the waist up while on a beach on the island. Although Nantucket voters had already voted yes on the proposed bylaw in May, the decision became official when Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey approved it on December 6. So when is Key West getting hip? |

[Brittany Griner] Exchange of a pothead basketball player for an international arms dealer/murderer? Boy, do we have our priorities screwed up! |

[Thought For The Day] Everyone likes bananas. |

[Friday Joke] I was mugged by a thief last night on my way home. While pointing his knife at me he asked, “Your money or your life!” I told him I am married so I have no money and no life. We hugged and cried together. It was a beautiful moment. |

[Friday Joke] A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the sidewalk and stopped inches from a building. For a second, everything was quiet in the cab. Then the driver said, “Look, mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!” The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much. “Sorry, said the driver, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I’ve been driving a funeral hearse for the last 25 years.” |
