My Seminole brothers and sisters, On this first day of the FSU football ( Oy) let me take this opportunity to refresh your memory on the mojo rules:

A) Assume the position

You must be settled in your game seat before kick off. Bonus points if you are already muttering at the tv or the people next to you

2a) You may not move from said position unless it’s a commercial break or I have called an audible

D) “Audibles” may include but are not limited to:

Switch Seats
Change Shirts
Get A Drink
Motherf Switch Seats Again
Pants Off

4) Acceptable game conversation

- Rooting for Germany over Clemson

- How hot was I in college?

- Miami sucks

- Never fk someone from Gnsville

Let the Your Momma jokes Begin! May the force be with us.
Go CockaNoles! 🐔🐎🍢🔥🏈

One of the main questions people ask when I go on a cruise is “How is the food?” I can safely say @princesscruises outdid themselves with the food on their newest ship Star Princess. We took it out of Alaska last week and the food and beverage were both spectacular. Highlights were the magical drinks at Spellbound (an offshoot of Magic Castle), the doughnuts at Coffee Currents, the pistachio filled croissants at the International Cafe and the Baked Alaska in the main dining room. The kids also loved the sushi, pizza and salmon deviled eggs. I can’t recommend this ship and this Alaska route (out of Seattle) enough. Take me back!!! And no, I wasn’t paid to say any of this, I just truly loved it all.

Call your loved ones today.

That’s the advice of one South Florida woman who lost her sister in the Venezuela earthquakes one month ago.

Thank you to everyone who shared their stories with us over the last month. CBS Miami producers @alyssa_digital_producer and @mikeavila took great care to highlight those stories with dignity and compassion in our Hope 4 Venezuela Special. You can watch it now on the CBS Miami YouTube page.

The road to recovery is long. If you want to help, please scan the QR code in this reel. 🙏🏼
