Florida Woman Accused Of Leaving Porn Filled Easter Eggs In People's Mailboxes

"MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) -- A Palm Coast woman was arrested after she reportedly put plastic eggs filled with pornographic images in mailboxes.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said his deputies arrested Abril Cestoni, 42, moments after she placed unwanted pornographic materials in a mailbox. The sheriff said evidence was also recovered from her vehicle.

"I am authorized to do research" she could be heard telling deputies on body cam video.

"You're authorized to distribute pornographic material?" a deputy asked.

"I am authorized to do research. My organization is research," she replied.

At various times Cestoni claimed to be a church but she also ranted against churches, claiming the explicitly sexual pictures in plastic easter eggs were her way of calling out church leaders...."

Ooooo-kayyyy.

At least its just a knock off graphic novel with lousy art one shot rather than an attempt at a full series.

See, that's what Marvel should do. If some lunatic stinking of patchoulli staggers into the door and proposes another reasty turd of a book, they should say "great, do a graphic novel!" Then if it actually sells and people like it, they can go "ok this is a new release" rather than barfing their latest insanity on the world as a full comic book series.

https://stoatnet.org/f_u_bolt.jpg

Top left, what the others look like (5mm). Bottom left, what that thing looked like (corroded and reamed out more than 8mm). I tried screw extractors, pounding a flathead screwdriver into it, cutting a notch with a Dremel and using a cold chisel for leverage, a blob of JB Weld and a sacrificial 8mm hex key... basically everything but a torch (because the cover's plastic). Finally drilled the head with a 5/16 bit until it popped off the bolt and removed the others. Now there's 1/2" of bolt sticking out that I can get some leverage on. But first, soup.

105 Florida Woman Accused Of Leaving Porn Filled Easter Eggs In People's Mailboxes



I remember when we were kids, emptying the egg shells with a straw and then carefully, under Mom's watchful eye, refilling them with porn.

The Trump impersonator does a good job, but I don't think he particularly likes Trump. His video impersonation on Obama with Trump was more positive towards Obama, and I don't think Trump really pronounces the word as inDUSTtries, does he?

130 Based on the 'new' symptoms now being listed as part of the Chinese Flu, I'm pretty certain my wife had it back at the end of February. We'd made ER visit because of severe dizzyness episodes that lasted a few days. She had brief fever, then a week or so later a red skin condition that dermatoligst thought likely cancer (tested negative for cancer).

Dizziness wasn't listed for CCP Flu until a month ago and we just saw this type of skin condition added to list today. My wife was tested for covid last week because a co-worker tested positive. Wife and other coworkers all tested negative (results took 3 days).

As a pharmacist my wife knows she's come into contact with at least a half dozen people who've likely had it since mid March. Thankfully no one else in the family has had anything worse than typical cold symptons.

She also says that plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is currently well stocked. (She had multiple Doctors trying to hoard it after it's effectiveness was first announced)

Really thankfull that news is all trending in positive direction & hopefully things start back to normal soon.

Finish the day with taking the dogs outside, and possibly feeding them if they want a late night snack. Feed cats as needed.

169 Top left, what the others look like (5mm). Bottom left, what that thing looked like (corroded and reamed out more than 8mm). I tried screw extractors, pounding a flathead screwdriver into it, cutting a notch with a Dremel and using a cold chisel for leverage, a blob of JB Weld and a sacrificial 8mm hex key... basically everything but a torch (because the cover's plastic). Finally drilled the head with a 5/16 bit until it popped off the bolt and removed the others. Now there's 1/2" of bolt sticking out that I can get some leverage on. But first, soup.
Posted by: hogmartin at April 10, 2020 07:27 PM (t+qrx)


Did you try zapping the bolt with WD-40, then hitting the bolt laterally (i.e., perpendicular to the axis) a couple times (to break up any corrosion, and hopefully allow the WD-40 to penetrate a bit), waiting a while, then wrapping a rubber band around a suitably-sized hex male bit driver attached to an impact driver?

If that doesn't work, a small thermonuclear device is in order.

Sil takes blood for LifeSource and chases blood drives all over the place. Last week they found the virus in blood they took. Every day after work she changes in the garage and then comes in for a shower and all the clothes into the wash. They're really worried she'll bring it home.

194 I was out for a walk today through town and found a local cookie bakery, Byrds, was giving away half dozen boxes of cookies to everyone. They were out by a main road with about 10 crates of cookie boxes. Good cookies. Scotch oatmeal but tasted like those biscoff cookies that Delta gives out. Their website says they're closed down temporarily so maybe they were just trying to empty inventory.

I'd also been reading stories since late November about some bad flu going around where people weren't getting better, and other stories even before that where the CDC was saying how they'd fucked up this year's flu shot by targeting the wrong strain.

218 Did you try zapping the bolt with WD-40, then hitting the bolt laterally (i.e., perpendicular to the axis) a couple times (to break up any corrosion, and hopefully allow the WD-40 to penetrate a bit), waiting a while, then wrapping a rubber band around a suitably-sized hex male bit driver attached to an impact driver?

If that doesn't work, a small thermonuclear device is in order.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at April 10, 2020 07:38 PM (A68IW)


Not WD-40 but I did try 3-in-1 or liquid wrench or whatever ~penetrating lubricant~ I may have in the garage. And a 20oz hammer.

I figured once the screw extractor bit wasn't pulling it that there's not much to be done. Not that I didn't try a bunch of other stuff anyway. I'll go at the rest of the bolt with pliers tomorrow, now that I've got leverage. It wouldn't have been so hard if it weren't sunk into the cover like that.

Could be a cannibal type cult living in the wilds of Russia. Read in one book how Stalin's secret police didn't find a group of weirdos living out in the wild in Siberia until the early 50's who believed that all governments were run by the Devil hisself.

They were collected up and sent off to the Gulag.

284 Not WD-40 but I did try 3-in-1 or liquid wrench or whatever ~penetrating lubricant~ I may have in the garage. And a 20oz hammer.

I figured once the screw extractor bit wasn't pulling it that there's not much to be done. Not that I didn't try a bunch of other stuff anyway. I'll go at the rest of the bolt with pliers tomorrow, now that I've got leverage. It wouldn't have been so hard if it weren't sunk into the cover like that.
Posted by: hogmartin at April 10, 2020 07:47 PM (t+qrx)


Did you smack the bolt with the hammer laterally? That sometimes helps get lubricant in.

The rubber band around the tool thing really helps. The hex bit in your photo might benefit from having a rubber band wrapped around it. It really helps to gain purchase on stuff like this and minimizes the chance of rounding the fitting or the tool.

And impact drivers are worth their weight in gold dust, most especially for loosening things that are sunk, and hard to get at.

312 Remember this sobering thought:

Initially researchers thought that AIDS must have first appeared in 1978 or '79, based on epidemiological studies, in particular the behavior of "Patient Zero," Gaetan Dugas.

For decades, all research was based on this assumption.

Then, many many years later, someone tested a tissue sample from a corpse found in Africa in 1958, and somehow saved for scientific research.

The tissue contained the HIV virus.

So, now we know that AIDS started as far back as 1958, and maybe even earlier. It just didn't spread to the Western world until the late '70s.

I'd be willing to bet that eventually we will learn that the Wuhan Flu had been floating around southern China for YEARS, before slightly mutating and spiralling out of control.

333 ProTip: WD40 has its uses, but surprisingly enough a rustbuster or penetrating oil for freeing stuck bolts is not one of them. It's better than nothing if the only thing available. I like LiquidWrench. The most important ingredient is time. Let it soak in a day or two, tap it with a hammer to help break any rust bonds, and spray some more on. I've seen stuff that wouldn't budge with a prybar loosen up with finger pressure after 4 or 5 days soak treatment. Some people claim a 50/50 mixture of Acetone and ATF works better than anything. Living in Ioway where they coat the roads with salt, it becomes necessary to learn this stuff.

That had to be hard for you. 'Persephone' is probably a reference to the Greek Goddess of the Underworld.

iirc, she represents the rebirth in the spring of vegetation and thus, the circle of life, death, and rebirth.

426 I just went to the grocery store, which looked like an OR without the banter. It was like an old library, people looked at you like you were a spider if you said hello.

Except for one of the managers who responded to my "how are you " with a "worried". Seems she grants this disease a Biblical meaning, like we are being warned like Nineveh to repent and turn back to God. This is a sort of last chance to clean up our act. This store is open everyday except Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year it will close for Easter, so I guess the idea is not hers alone.

Anyway, it was an unusual experience

Systemic institutionalized racism prevents racial minorities (and apparently stupid teenagers of all races) from observing social distancing. It's a conspiracy.

Sargon of Akkad had a video where 2 women "of color" and Van Jones were on to discuss Rona racie. Van Jones basically told people to take the right precautions and take care of themselves. No shifting of responsibility. It was refreshing.

Sunday Morning Sex
Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather
had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to
visit her 95 year-old grandmother and
comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her
grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on
Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people
nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh
no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced
age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells
would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and
even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."
She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if
the ice cream truck hadn't come along."
If you do not laugh at this, then you are seriously depressed,

That reminds me of a joke -

A man's wife dies. At the funeral, he is wailing and crying, carrying on something awful.

A friend takes him aside and says, "Look, I know how awful today must be for you. But someday, maybe in a year or two, you'll find another nice girl and get married again."

"A year or two?"
the man screams. "What am I gonna do tonight?"

Just to recap, Season 1 started with the trip down the escalator and ended on Election Night. Season 2 started with the inauguration and ended with the Kavanaugh confirmation as the season finale. Season 3 began with the midterm elections and ended with the impeachment not guilty verdict. I was wondering what he would do for Season 4, but it's pretty obvious that it started with the Kung Flu and it will end in another Election Night triumph. I can't wait for Season 5 already.

Mandatory masks were a thing back during the 1918 Spanish Flu. San Francisco was the first to mandate them, then other CA cities followed, and then my many other states.

The collective memory of all this is long gone.

Tobacco companies even made face masks with little flaps to allow one to smoke while wearing a mask.

Meh...

A man goes to the club, thinking he's going to get in some practice putts, but after he arrives he's approached by a threesome in need of a fourth. So he agrees to join them.

As the men reach the fourth hole, with the oldest member of the party about to tee off, the sound of church bells are heard through a clearing in the trees. Off in the distance a short way, a church, with the bells playing a slow dirge, a hearse arrives, with a long procession of cars behind it.

The man at the tee doffs his cap, holds it to his heart, and keeps it there until the funeral party all enters the church.

He then proceeds with his shot.

The game continues, and an hour or so later the men are approaching the 13th tee. The winding course has brought them around, and the same church seen through the clearing is visible, and again, the church bells ring out their slow, sad melody.

It just so happens the same older chap is about to tee off, and again, as the party begins to exist the church, he takes off his cap, holding it to his heart, and remains fixed in that position until the last vehicle in the procession has driven off.

The fourth, a man who has never met any of these men before, is so taken by this gesture of respect, he turns to the other two men, standing off the to the side with him and says, "Gentlemen, that is the kindest, most respectful thing I have ever seen. For him to demonstrate such grace, why, it's truly a magnificent thing."

To which one of the other gents replies, "well after all, he was married to her for 40 years."

I'm concerned about that, and about the other things people brought up, like special zones and this jackass idea:

617 Sad news here at OP Eromero. Mrs. E just found one of our nonhuman household members dead. His name was MonkeyBoy and he was over 16 years old. I first found him under the neighbors deck when he was a kitten and it was snowing. One of those strange orange stripedy kinda pinkish color shorthairs. Loved chow call and narrowly dodged the 'fatboy' program his whole career. He was crippled by the (other) neighbor's pitbull about 4 years ago yet soldiered on with his disability, never complaining, but missed muster 2 days ago. The XO found him 50 feet from his last known position and he appeared to have just fallen over and kicked the bucket. Good old puttertat.

619 Saddest support call I ever had was when I did support for Verizon. A woman called in. She wanted to recover the greeting off a cell phone. It had belonged to their son, who had died in an accident a year ago. Her husband would listen to that greeting and it helped him deal with it. But they'd reset the phone and the greeting was lost.

I have been able to record a greeting off another phone, well enough to save it. My husband still had the phone from his second wife and I was able to record the greeting off it for him and her kids. If you want to save something like that, do it as soon as possible.

Our town was hard hit by the financial meltdown that brought us Barky in 2008. However this virus got out of Chyna and into the world, the Left is going full speed ahead to use the Kung Flu as their last chance to destroy the economy and get rid of Trump and us deplorables once and for all.

741 I kind of want to watch Passion of the Christ, but I've only seen it twice, years apart.

I may compromise and watch Risen. Which is also a very good film, but less jarring. Joseph Fiennes and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) had very good performances. Not to mention the fella who was Jesus (Cliff Curtis from New Zealand).

If you ain't seen it, do so.

801 as viruses pass along they do get some replication changes, and that can be used to "fingerprint" them and identify where they travelled, but it is all the same virus.

Flu, rhinoviruses and all the coronas have these "spikes" that look like little mushrooms all over them, the heads have the particular proteins that allow the cells to attach to and breach cell walls. They are coded to particular receptors on the cell walls.

They are also the most immunologically identifiable part of the virus, and what the body sees.
They also mutate quickly each year, so what happens is that the shot for one year really doesn't work for another, and it is different for each strain.

One of the approaches for a universal vaccine is to have the body ID the stem of each spike, which does not change.

as a note, the spike mutations are an adaption to the immune system's response, so they are supposed to change. It is a form of camouflage

802 "Yeah, I still remember that Roger Ebert said it was the most violent movie he'd ever seen. Good grief."

Right. In "The Passion", Gibson realistically depicts what the Romans actually did to their prisoners. The point was to make the locals very, very afraid of of the Romans: and it worked.

Yes. I think my indifference (?) toward church was the rote nature of it. My son belongs to a church that is small, intimate, and free-wheeling, so to speak. Got a lot more out the services that me and the missus attended there than I ever did in The Church.

but I do not dismiss the Catholic church. My folks are devout, and the sense of community in one's parish can be very strong, in a positive way. Heck, even my Boy Scout troop met in the basement of our parish.

Do you own a MIG welder, or know somebody who does? Take a piece of scrap metal, say 1/8" by 1/2" band iron, drill a hole in the end, and lay it over the stump of the bolt, and weld the stump to the scrap. Let it cool, and use the scrap as a wrench to work it to and fro. If the weld breaks, try again. This technique will even work if the stump breaks off a little below the surface. Repeated heat/cold cycles is the magic.

812 Putting this here because I don't want to bring down the ONT--

For those who can't bring themselves to 'delete contact' of deceased loved ones....

Me too!

Dad passed last summer and I still cannot delete his phone & email. Every time I go to do it, I just stop. Read. Cry. Abandon the task as if it were a betrayal.

813 Why the fuck can't you sit still another week or 2 until we see where this thing is going?

Every 2 weeks it gets harder to agree to this insistence

until we see where this thing is going?

815 So 5is shit just got really real for me. My company suddenly and without any warning folded and terminated all of us today (not a small company either). 100% of blame was for the Wuhan flu. So to Fauci, Birx, et al...FUCK YOU! Y Organization was also in Houston in January and every one of us got sick with u known respiratory stuff. Convinced we had the plague and got over it. Once again all you experts, virtue signalers, and yes even you Pres. Trump...FUCK YOU

It's been over 50 years since the last big respiratory disease. In another 50 years medicine and technology will make mitigating and treatment much easier than it is today.

819 Am so happy to share this testimony with everyone about how i got my herpes cured from Dr. Obela the godfather of herbal medicine. I had been going from one country to another for medication for 3 years just to be cured from herpes but all seems in vain, i was confused and decided to search through the Internet if i could get any news concerning herpes so i do keep searching until i visited one particular site and i saw the great testimonies from different persons testifying how Dr. Obela has cure them from herpes and other diseases and i was shock and was thinking if this is real, after a due consideration i decided to contact him with the email address I found in the posted just to give it a trial and when i contacted him he proved to me that his herbal medicine can cure me if only i believe in him, so i requested for his herbal medicine and i got it and i applied it as prescribed and after 1weeks and 3 days of application i went for a test and to my greatest shock the herpes virus has disappeared and it was just like a dream. Today I am cured from herpes am so happy and thanking God for using Dr. Obela to cure me. so if you are out there and you are suffering for herpes cure or any kind of illness kindly contact Dr. Obela through he will help you to cure that illness. you can get in touch with him via: drobelaspellhome@gmail.com or call/whatsapp him on this number +2347084171950.. Thanks very much DR. Obela
