The Orlando Magic playoff game is on ABC. No, wait, it\u2019s on Peacock. No, wait, it\u2019s on Prime. Oh, it\u2019s on ESPN. Geez.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I am ticked off that national TV newscasters continue to say \u201cFlorida\u201d when relating a story out of Orlando, such as, \u201cThis story tonight out of Orlando, Florida.\u201d Really? Do they mention Nevada connected to a story out of Las Vegas? How about Atlanta or El Paso? I can understand mentioning Florida if the story is related to some Sunshine State hamlet in the Panhandle. But who doesn\u2019t know where Orlando is located? When someone asks, \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d, all you have to say is Orlando.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I am upset that the neglect of South American two-toed sloths resulted in these gentle animals\u2019 deaths, yet those responsible for the neglect are not even being charged with any law violation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I am ticked off that I sent emails to Orlando Sentinel writers who wrote about the poor sloths, asking for help by writing how we can get our prepaid VIP tickets back from Sloth World! No one has addressed this and Sloth World won\u2019t respond. I\u2019m on a Social Security income and need my $100 back! It was supposed to be a birthday surprise for a friend.<\/p>\n<p>The flip side<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Thank you to the Theatre UCF students, who recently put on a production of \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d at the Dr. Phillips Center. This is Broadway-quality talent. We were so impressed by the acting, singing, costumes and sets. So amazing and fun!<\/p>\n<p>NEED TO VENT?: I\u2019m Ticked Off! Are you?
