This is Tinkerbell (aka “Tink). She is about 7-years-old and enjoys playing with fake mice (whew!) and hunting squirrles, birds, and lizards thru our front picture window. Of course, like any other kitten, she loves to EAT! She has a twin sibling named Mowgli, and has survived a brush with death when [...]

I recently learned about an event benefiting one of the most worthy nonprofits around: Special Olympics Florida.

Friday evening, November 7, Jack in the Park is being held at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market.
For a suggested $75 donation, you’ll have access to the event, which includes music by the Hindu Cowboys, full open bar, food from [...]

From an out-of-towner at a local conference. Definitely wasn’t sure what this was referring to, at first:
Mama needs a new back door.”

If you love food (readers of this blog already know that I do), chances are we’d get along famously. If you love beer, you can pretty much bet we’d be great friends. Combine the two and…well, it’s gauranteed friendship for life!
So when I saw this postcard for the upcoming Central Florida Beer Festival I was [...]

Here you see the handsomest boy in the world. Although, born under a trailer in the backwoods of Ohio, Lucas grew up to graduate first in his class from the Handsome Boys Modeling School. Now he spends his days inspiring others to find their inner beauty and allowing his Mama to scrape out crud from [...]

Publix opened its newest Central Florida location this past weekend in Downtown Orlando. Located in the base of the Paramount on Lake Eola, the store is just what you’d expect of a city grocery store … but definitely a modified version of every other Publix you’ve ever been into.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, [...]

From an undisclosed office location:
he’s small in all the wrong places.”

Klynn’s post on Barack OBama last week generated some conversation among our readers (I love that). Coupled with the recent national party conventions, that has led me to be a little more aware of what’s going on [politically] in our community.
What did I discover? Central Floridians are certainly speaking their minds…at least in [...]

Overheard at The Lodge in downtown Orlando, a man to a woman:
get me drunk and touch my head.”

As a renter, you’re at the mercy of what’s available or offered in your community. For almost 8 years I have lived without access to in-home laundry.
Those days are finally over! To quote Carrie Bradshaw, “Hello, Lover …”

Welcome to the first post in the new “From the Streets” series here on “Pulse.” We hope you enjoy these, and remember…we need user participation!

(Location: Winter Park Florists on Park Avenue, in Winter Park. Photo taken with camera phone so sorry for the quality.)

Ever wanted to sing with a classic rock band? Have a dream of getting-up in front of everyone in Orlando and show them how much talent you’ve got? Well, now would seem to be your chance. While driving yesterday I heard a radio spot for WMMO’s “National Anthem Contest,” where one lucky Central [...]

…you’re likely to end-up anywhere. I just saved this little guy from getting run over, in the Delaney Park neighborhood. I just hope he learns to stay out of the road. (Sorry the quality’s not better. I took these pictures with my phone.)

Did you catch Klynn’s post yesterday on the new Publix GreenWise Markets? I’m really excited about these healthy-conscious stores coming to the Central Florida area.
Speaking of healthy-conscious stores, have you visited the new Whole Foods Market store in Dr. Phillips? It’s located at:
8003 Turkey Lake Road Phillips Crossing
Orlando, Florida 32819

It’s a massive, sensational [...]
