Kennedy told police that on March 3, she went for a swim in a canal near her boyfriend's house. She told them that while she was swimming, she came across a doorway near a shallow part of the canal.

Kennedy said she entered the doorway and noticed a tunnel.

She claimed she became curious to where the tunnel led and continued to follow it. She told police the tunnel led to another tunnel and so on until she realized she was lost.

Ok, she was swimming? Tunnels are pitch black dark. She must have been swimming with a flashlight in hand or found one in the tunnels. Or, she’s lying.

It means to be placed in a mental hospital for an evaluation, involuntarily.

“Is your dog eating poop? It's not as weird as you think. While coprophagia is disgusting to us, it is a normal behavior for dogs. Some experts theorize that this behavior is the root of domestication. Wild canids would eat human refuse outside of settlements, and over time these animals came to resemble our domestic dogs more and more. Mother dogs eat their puppies’ excrement until the pups are about four weeks. Dogs like poop, and their digestive systems are designed in such a way that they can often gain nutrition from the waste products of other animals.”

Another crazy Florida woman... Really, I thought they were talking about a lady who was trapped in D.C. 😀

I didn’t mean that dogs don’t eat poop. Of course they do.

But, what I meant was, its not a fully balanced diet for them. Unlike what my salesman/candidate claimed for roaches.

[ConservativeMind]

I never said it was a fully balanced diet, either, but four weeks of poop supplementation for each of your puppies is not just a snack.

You didn’t grow up on a farm, did you?

Is this the same woman from the article posted yesterday about a naked woman rescued from a storm drain?

[meadsjn]

Something’s not right. 3 weeks naked in a rat and snake infested sewer seems unbelievable

It’s believable. Probably about the same as trying to stay employed in an office place infested with mentally ill commies.

Re drugs:
According to the article her mother said she had a history of narcotic use and mental illness, so I’d say the chances were good she was stoned or having some sort of mental episode.

But three weeks?? In the sewers? What was she eating? What water was she drinking? Yikes.. maybe we don’t want to know...

“BTW, we hired him and he was good. But, he didn’t answer my question.”

Says something about sales and salesmen.

“She claimed she became curious to where the tunnel led and continued to follow it.”

Good thing she didn’t run into Pennywise!

No, I didn’t grow up on a farm.

But sometimes my golden retriever had bad breath.

Sewer or storm drain? Makes a difference!

This sounds like a seriously Freudian experience.
