Nudists Hope to Break Guinness Book of World Records #S

Yes here they are in all their glory - nudists doing their thing to promote their idea of a fun weekend in our greater Wilmington area. Are you in this picture? Then you know how much fun it was or how much fun I missed. In an effort to promote our area and show all its " good traits" and happenings I wanted to include this. The warm weather allows us all to have fun and "take it off" for a good cause.....

Gang threatens Woman - Be on the LOOKOUT

Police say that the gang usually is comprised of four members, one adult and three younger ones.While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their 'mark' (or intended target) with a show of friendliness , the fourth -- the eldest -- sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pocket or purse for any valuables. Be on the alert!! Scroll down to see a photo from a recent attack that was captured on film..

This is being called the AFLAC Scam (I thought you could use a smile today.)
