Thank you Eyes…It sound really good and I will be making 2 of them. I LOVE almond extract. Do I use real butter or margarine? One other question…what does it mean line the pie shell with double thickness of foil? I have a ceramic and or glass pie pans.
Steph
You dont have to line the pie crust, but what that method is for is to “firm” up your dough before you put wet ingredients in it.Just dont line it and bake about 5 mins.That way your crust wont be soggy.Use REAL butter,it has more flavor.You can also use 1/2 flour and 1/2 oats or crumbled vanilla wafers for the topping…
stephanie on 9 November 2009 at 16:15
Thank you again Eyes…it does sound yummy.
Okay Humblette bloggers and lurkers…If you have a really good pumpkin pie recipe could you please leave it here for me…Thank you
eyespy on 9 November 2009 at 16:20
Its really easy steph, and when your in the mood try apple filling with walut topping in place of the almonds….and of coarse vanilla ice cream!
stephanie on 9 November 2009 at 16:28
That sounds really good to Eyes…I will do that, thank you
Filipa

Is it just me or is everyone else sick of this voting campaign thats going on all over?? Here’s a great post from Niecey’s
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
on November 12, 2009 at 3:03 pm noel
Niecey, Your post was quite appropriate and brought to the surface a lot of the thoughts I was having about this vote. Thank you for putting in to words what so many are thinking.
Obviously, it is an honor to be nominated for any award that recognizes your talents. For me, it would also be an honor to win the award if I won it honestly and fairly. This is the problem I have with how this blog owner is going about winning. Nothing about it is honest or fair.
Now most of you have seen the multitude of posts asking for votes. I come to this area of WordPress to read more about the Anthony case, not to have to fight through posts that prompt me to Vote for Me or Why I Vote for this man who can do no wrong and you should too!! The only light at the end of the tunnel is that the contest ends in 8 days!!
Now all that bugs me, but what really left a bad taste in my mouth is the multiple voting that is going on. Bloggers are making up multiple emails and names to pad the votes.
As I said, I am a lurker and I read several blogs. I lost all respect for this blog owner when he was encouraging his ladies to open up more email addresses. Several even have them for their pets, including a bird. To me, that is a desperate,win at all costs, move.
This from a person who reminds others his catchwords are facts, fairness, bonesty, etc. He is quick to point out his critics are jealous and have no self-esteem. Well, I think by now most everyone knows that if he wins it has been done not by fairness, but dogs, cats, mice and birds voting along with the double and triple voting ladies. I think if you want to win an award that bad maybe some self-esteem isues may be involved, thus the win at all costs mentality.
In conclusion, I am not sure how this person sleeps well at night. And if he does, I find that even more frightening, that means his moral compass does not find the actions I outlined as cheating.
Would’nt it have been more fun and rewarding to find out you won if you did it the right and fair way? And I am sure Victory would have tasted so much sweeter. Even if he did not win, playing by the rules, I would have never lost my respect for him and felt he was honored by the nomination.
As it is now, no one in the blog world will feel he won fair and square, if he does win. They will continue to talk about him and he will have to come up with more childish variations of bowel movement and flatulance words to call them. Another of my pet peeves as no other blog I visit uses those words on a daily basis(thank you neicey for never using them!). Perhaps he had a bad potty training experience as there sure is an anal fixation!
Thank You for your writings and for letting me post such a long reply. See why I usually only lurk?
Below I have posted a portion of the voting rules taken directly from the site. I had that icky feeling about what was transpiring with the voting right from the beginning.
Ironically, one of the ladies of his forum posted the link to the official rules on Bill S. blog and invited anyone who felt there was wrongdoing to check it out. When I did this is part of what I found. What do you all think? Are they blurring the rules?
Nominees are permitted to encourage others to vote for their Blogs. However, collusion between or among any Nominees and/or Voters or other participants to unfairly affect the outcome of the Voting Period or this Contest (e.g., through fraud or tampering) is strictly prohibited and may result in the immediate disqualification of the relevant Nomination. Any person attempting to defraud or tamper with this Contest in any way will be ineligible for prizes and may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Tampering includes attempting to nominate or vote more than the number of times permitted by these Official Rules including by using an automated device, multiple email addresses or otherwise. Any failure by Orlando Sentinel to enforce any of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of such Official Rules.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
So anyone who is tired of this inflated ego I would encourage you to vote in the news section for the Daily city then the DISUnplugged for the overall best blog. Thank you
WASHINGTON – In the first study of its kind, Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that companion cats and dogs are polluted with even higher levels of many of the same synthetic industrial chemicals that researchers have recently found in people, including newborns.
In addition to being guardians, playmates and even beloved family members, dogs and cats may also be serving as sentinels for human health problems that can arise from exposures to industrial chemicals.
In recognition of the unique roles that pets play in our lives, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) undertook a study to investigate the extent of exposures dogs and cats face to contaminants in our homes and outdoor environments. What we found was startling.
Dogs and cats were contaminated with 48 of 70 industrial chemicals tested, including 43 chemicals at levels higher than those typically found in people, according to our study of blood and urine from 20 dogs and 40 cats. Average levels of many chemicals were substantially higher in pets than is typical for people, with 2.4 times higher levels of stain-and grease-proof coatings (perfluorochemicals) in dogs, 23 times more fire retardants (PBDEs) in cats, and more than 5 times the amounts of mercury, compared to average levels in people found in national studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and EWG.
“Like humans, pets are also exposed to toxic chemicals on a daily basis, and as this investigation found, are contaminated at higher levels,” said Jane Houlihan, VP for Research at EWG. “The presence of chemicals in dogs and cats sounds a cautionary warning for the present and future health of children as well. This study demonstrating the chemical body burden of dogs and cats is a wake-up call for stronger safety standards from industrial chemical exposures that will protect all members of our families, including our pets.”
“This study is valuable in that it used pet animals that live in nearly fifty percent of all US households as environmental sentinels to measure the level of contamination with a wide variety of industrial chemicals that have also been shown to be present in human tissue. Because pet animals tend to have similar or higher concentrations of these chemicals in their body than humans, epidemiological studies of pets can be used to identify potential adverse health effects at a lower cost and in a much shorter period of time than it would take to perform similar studies in humans,” said Dr. Larry Glickman – a leading veterinarian and distinguished scientist who for the past three decades conducted research in veterinary epidemiology.
“This study shows that our pets are susceptible to the absorption of potentially harmful chemicals from our environment just as we are. Perhaps even more troubling is that these chemicals have been found in higher levels in pets than in humans implying potential harmful consequences for their health and well being and the need for further study,” said Dr. John Billeter, DVM, the veterinarian who conducted the blood and urine tests.
Just as children ingest pollutants in tap water, play on lawns with pesticide residues, or breathe in an array of indoor air contaminants, so do their pets. But with there compressed lifespans, developing and aging seven or more times faster than children, pets also develop health problems much more rapidly. Pets, like infants and toddlers, have limited diets and play close to the floor, often licking the ground as well as their paws, greatly increasing both their exposures to chemicals and the resulting health risks.
In America there are 8 times more companion dogs and cats than there are children under five. Seventy percent more households have dogs or cats than children of any age. These pets are often beloved family members, and yet they can be subjected to chronic, constant exposures to chemical contaminants in homes, yards, and parks that pet owners cannot always prevent.
Scientists Link Chemical Exposure to Increased Rates of Cancer, Other Diseases in Pets:
Under current federal law, chemical companies do not have to prove chemicals are safe before they are used in products, including pet toys and other products for our companion animals. For pets as for people, the result is a body burden of complex mixtures of industrial chemicals never tested for safety. Health problems in pets span high rates of cancer in dogs and skyrocketing incidence of hyperthyroidism in cats. Genetic changes can’t explain the increases in certain health problems among pets, leaving scientists to believe that chemical exposures play a significant role.

You will faint when you see how Susan Boyle looks now… after shredding off 25 kg and some “interventions”! lol

steph, if you didn’t get my message through humble, let me know, i will ask her to re-send
stephanie on 13 November 2009 at 19:28
Eoar…I did get it and wanted to sit down last night and send you a note. But, my internet went out until this evening when I got on the blog. It sure is good to see you on the blog when I get on…been missing you bunches
eyespy on 14 November 2009 at 06:04
Whats up girly?
Filipa on 14 November 2009 at 06:08
EYE
just get this:
I allowed my 15 year old to go to a friends birthday yeaterday.
then, at 1.30am my phone rings:
“Mum! it’s me Matilde! we’re at this Club, and the guys at the door say I’m 15!!!!and dont have an ID here with me, can you come up???
…and i asked her “they say” you are 15???
well, i could go on and on on last night “real” soap opera, but I better go read the news!!!
I’m not thinking straight, from lack of proper sleep.
eyespy on 14 November 2009 at 06:10
Whoa!! did you go up to the club?
BEES KNEES on 14 November 2009 at 11:01
Steph! Madness indeed!!! I have a question that I don’t want to bring up on the main page of any WordPress blogs but I’m dying to know. How did Judge Strickland know that DM was in his courtroom that time? Are we supposed to believe that he just happened to recognize him because he saw one third of his face in his banner at the top of his blog and realized it was him and just had to speak to him??? I hardly think so. In my opinion DM must have asked someone (a bailiff probably) before court began if he could have a word with the judge when court was over, right? How else would the judge know? I’ve been very curious about this. Anyone know how that went down? Thanks.
stephanie on 14 November 2009 at 12:40
Gap…You answered way better than I could have, lol. I think you are right on. Humble brings up a very important point…How come he didn’t know his name…Get that guy. Why didn’t he say the blogger md…something to show he is a reader of his blog?
Bees Knees~I know your question was not addressed to me but I wanted to tell you I have also wondered that and I have it recorded so I went back and watched again to see if I could catch anything new, well….when the Judge calls the women(deputy) up to him and tells her he wants to see the man in the second row in the striped shirt he also says its the guy in this picture right here. So I am just guess but I bet Ole’ MD sent a note or letter to him asking to meet him.
Sorry Steph wasn’t honing in on your question but I too was curious!!! lol
Sorry Bees….as he says the guy in this picture he points down on his desk or whatever its called so I guess that is where the picture was.
BEES KNEES on 14 November 2009 at 12:00
Thanks Gap. I’m positive it went down like that. Isn’t it funny that the pickle doesn’t add the part that HE ASKED TO MEET THE JUDGE? He wants his readers to think the judge just recognized him and wanted to meet him. God! He’s as stupid as the Anthonys!
WHAT? To funny! He wants everyone to think the Judge knows him! Oh that is too funny. If the judge knew him, he would have said his name! Oh goody Bees you make me laugh!
Filipa on 14 November 2009 at 12:38
EYE
sure. Ya think? and leave the 6 year old, or should I take her clubbing? lol
BEES KNEES on 14 November 2009 at 13:02
Yes. It’s very funny. The pickle is melting down these days. Have you read his funny letter to wftv? He’s losing it! The pickle will soon be nothing but relish. HA!!!
Bees & Humble you know it is really kinda sad. His only identity must be his blog and the harem!!! It was obviously very important to him to have people think the Judge was requesting his presence!!!(NOT) lmao
stephanie on 14 November 2009 at 13:51
My comment is in moderation still…so I am going to repost without saying the names I said for it to go into moderation.
Gap…You answered way better than I could have, lol. I think you are right on. Humble brings up a very important point…How come he didn’t know his name…Get that guy. Why didn’t he say ____ or ________, something to show he is a reader of his blog?
On for a minute, have things to do before it gets to late! GAP, your too funny. Bee’s I have read nothing he writes. Since he felt the urge to try and slam me, then even think I cared, hahahhaha, I read nothing! Bee you are still cracking me up! He says the Judge knows him…….Wonder if the Judge needs a copy of that. I think that is a conflict of the Judges interest! Hummm, he could blow this whole case!
BBL.
azrenee on 14 November 2009 at 14:49
Just to add my two cents, I was highly upset A. That Strickland would ( if he did) make a comment about any blog at all, it would be like telling Belich good job pinning Casey to the wall!
B. That the idiot would make such a spectacle about it on his website, which any conversation should have been considered private.
C. That a poem lauding the idiot and indicating that Strickland basically adored him, would be posted on the main page of his site
I dont care WHAT was said, I will never believe Strickland said anything about being the ” bet” or fairest etc. I also dont think Strickland cares less what anyone thinks of the A’s, as he has shown no real interest in them from the beginning! JMO I dont want this case jeopardized by stupidity, especially as the Dteam seems to get half of their motions from things said on blogs!
mikka on 14 November 2009 at 14:56
azrenee,i think stricky is to busy,to read up all blogs!i will send him my photo,may he will shake my hand too! :biggrin:
stephanie on 14 November 2009 at 15:20
AZ…Very well Said
Mikka…When you shake his hand will you tell him I said Hi, lol
mikka on 14 November 2009 at 15:28
steph,i think i will look like this,when he shake my hand –
AZRenee, this is where the lies are! I am pretty convinced, Strickland would have a fit if he read his blog, especially since someone told me he cornered the computer guy. (I have no clue, the part was sent to me via email) I would say that there would be a little judgment day for this certain someone.
Mikka! Curtsy…
stephanie on 14 November 2009 at 18:10
Mikka…lol
BEES KNEES on 14 November 2009 at 18:27
Good Lord! I have never had so many laughs on the internet as I have the past few days. I’m trying hard to keep my mouth shut. I think I’ve got it all out of me now. But I can’t stop laughing! I hope Bill S. will just post his blog and keep it closed to comments. That’s a good idea Humble. I will suggest that to him too.
Justme66 on 14 November 2009 at 18:30
AHA.. Found ya’ll.. Humble.. He did corner the computer guy, anyway, he said he was going to.. And I was thinking, that’s an interference to this case, and he’s putting his nose where it doesn’t belong, AT ALL.. I wish LE would toss his arse in jail right along with the rest of them.. He has no business doing that..
azrenee on 14 November 2009 at 18:52
I dont give a rats behind whos blog Judge Strickland prefers, cmon, but Im just concerned this does not look good, probably irrelevant, but a judge in a big case like this, supposedly reading and judging blogs, then commenting on them, when he has inside sealed info on the case. I would think ANY discussion about this case would be off limits for the judge, and if this is all a sham it should be cleared up. JMO
I’m totally with you AZ.. This case is way too important to have unimportant chit mess it up and have to do it all over again.. Justice for Caylee is what it’s ALL ABOUT.. Not who’s blog got the most hits, or who’s head got stolen..
Justme66 on 14 November 2009 at 19:00
Humble.. I’m sitting on my hands REAL HARD right now!! Just wanted you to know that I’m trying REALLY HARD.. But I can’t hardly control myself.. My guts are laughing, and I want to say it so bad.. ROFL
Drew Peterson, accused of killing his third wife, sued JP Morgan Chase in federal court late Monday, accusing the bank of … something to do with foreclosing on his 2nd mortgage..didn’t read it all..he wants to sell his house to Fox.. Yes, he is still locked up…
Justme66 on 14 November 2009 at 19:59

funny isn’t it? This was all started by Casey…lmbo
Janet
Thanks for the link…this is just fine, another mother that treats her child like a dollar sign.I hope they throw the book at her and find that baby alive.
the judge may have actually scolded him for being in the courtroom.. without a reason except to flaunt his blog… someone probably told the judge and the judge called him out and once he admitted yes he was a blog owner… judge said that this is not a game for his amusement….
If anyone getts the chance and is bored, google the elegant miss Hunt-Darnett event in NC. I came across it on the link Humble left above. 2 y/o and up in a pagent, wearing enough hairspray and makeup to destroy their ourer 5 loayers of epidermis. They have pics on the article I read of these kids with their cell phones, at age 7, making lots of disgruntled faces etc. What is wrong with this country??? Cant a kid be a kid just for a few years??? Parents need to win awards vicariously through their progeny to gain some kind of recognition? Im sorry, Im all about cute babies, kids in dance lessons, ( cheerleading at 3—not so much) kids in sports…I think one of the biggest problems is kids dont get to play, interact, learn about the world in their own space and time. Sorry, a pet peeve of mine…I have never thought starting stressful competition for kids at young ages was good. JMHO and rant!
stephanie on 16 November 2009 at 10:53
Thank you Janet, Mikka and Humble for the links
AZ…I have real issues with beauty pageants for these little girls. Our niece has been in baby pageants and such, none of them had real talents but being cute babies/kids. My issues are so much more about taking these children and making them look like they are 25 yrs old. I don’t get it…they are all still babies and need to enjoy their childhoods. They have plenty of time to be adults…their whole lives. You only have so much time to be a child. Wait until their girls are pre-teen and they know everything and think they are 25 yrs old…why rush it?
stephanie on 16 November 2009 at 11:09
Press Conference it coming up in Shaniay case
stephanie on 16 November 2009 at 11:22
Mikka left a link on the other blog…In there a person that helped search for Shaniya said he doesn’t normally believe in the dp. But, in this case he does believe in it…I am with him and hope they receive the dp.
nannab on 16 November 2009 at 12:06
wow..another one of the sickest of sick cases.. 5 years old.. another innocent little angel.. makes me sick thinking about it.
nannab on 16 November 2009 at 12:17
How could any defense attorney.. including a public defender.. take this case?
And now we must protect the rights of the accused, the almighty rights of the accused. Poor little Shaniya. Yesterday I said that she was either drugged or she knew the guy. Please God, I pray she was drugged and didn’t know what was happening to her. I can’t stand any more of this. What is with this legal business of admitting guilt and then pleading not guilty. I am too angry to say anything more.
azrenee on 16 November 2009 at 15:36
Nauseating, and watching that a-hole in court walk in with a smirk on his face, made me ill. I hope prison takes the smirk off his face, I dont think the prisoners will take kindly to this crime at all.

Justme66 on 17 November 2009 at 04:43
Maxi, Marsha, or anyone else that stops by who lives in Kentucky.. Here’s a link for you, just in case you need to track a criminal.. It’s called Vinelink.. Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it or not, but we’re the only state that has something like this, or so it says.. I’ve been using it to track the guy who stole from us.. As of a few minutes ago, he’s still incarcerated.. YEE HAA!! It notifies you via email when the criminals status changes. It’s pretty cool, and is a good tool for domestic violence, crimes against children, etc. Anyway, here’s the link:
OOPS… Wrong again.. It says Kentucky was the FIRST state.. Not the only one.. EEEKKK.. Need to put my glasses on..
Welcome to the Kentucky VINELink homepage. The VINELink system is an information and notification resource that provides information about an offender’s custody status. This resource works in conjunction with the automated V.I.N.E. service provided by the Kentucky Department of Corrections, Office of Victim Services.
In December 1994, Jefferson County established the nation’s first automated victim notification system in response to the brutal murder in Louisville, KY of Mary Byron one year earlier. Her former boyfriend had kidnapped and raped her and had been incarcerated in the Jefferson County Jail. Fearing that he might pose a danger to her, Mary and her parents had asked to be notified if he were released. The jail officials failed to notify them, and he murdered her on her twenty-first birthday.
In 1996, Kentucky Department of Corrections implemented the Victim Information and Notification (V.I.N.E.) System, making Kentucky the first state in the nation to provide this service on a statewide basis.
thanks justme, I added this to my favorites… I have no one I need to track at this time.. but, I can see it would be wonderful to have advance notice if someone was getting released that had harmed you… I have heard of several incidents where someone was supposed to be told when an x or an offender was out of prison, but, was killed because the prison didnt inform them…
Marsha on 17 November 2009 at 05:38
Thanks just! No one that I’m tracking at this time, and hopefully won’t be, but this is a great tool for anyone that is. I looked up the chester the molester that used to be the pastor at a church near here. I guess he’s still roaming the streets. I know he was indicted, but it hasn’t gone to court yet to my knowledge. Meanwhile, other children are being put at risk. I’m sure the church is hiding him somewhere.
karmacoming on 17 November 2009 at 08:38
Greetings all! Miss me? Been away a while. My adult son was hit by a car while riding his bike, in Fayetteville. I was down there tending to him, ER, surgery & recovery. Built a ramp for his 3-4 months of wheelchair so that he could be released for home. Shattered wrist & forearm, broken pelvis and major road rash.
Meanwhile…. Sheniya happend right there. Grandmother works with my DIL.
Sorry to hear about your son. Wow, a few broken bones! One of the lucky ones! Hope he is getting well!
Oh wow, any news from the DIL on what grandma has said! It is very sad…oh wait, grandma said Shaniya mom was a great mom!
It is very sad about her.
karmacoming on 17 November 2009 at 08:53
thanks humble, luckily its all mendable and only temporary pain for him. he’s lucky and me too! Just glad he will be ok in time.
The DIL works at a nursing/assisted living home. i think shaniya’s mother & grandmother BOTH worked there one in the kitchen and one in housekeeping but the grandmother is saying no way! said her daughter “use to” do drugs but no more and no way she did this! (yea right)
Justme66 on 17 November 2009 at 08:54
karma.. Sorry to hear about your son.. I hope he will be okay.. He’s lucky.. *Hugs*
karmacoming on 17 November 2009 at 08:58
justme66, thanks so much! He sure was lucky & me TOO!! he’s broken but he’s still here to tell about it! Luckily he’s in the Air Force so his medical bills are all paid and he got great care, and they were great to me too!
Karma, you know who makes out on that is the person in the car, if they are at fault. The medical is paid for! I am pretty impressed with military hospitals! You get really good care there!
Hope he get better soon. The broken pelvis has got to be very painful!
karma,so sorry about your son,hope he get well soon!come back when you can!
karmacoming on 17 November 2009 at 11:38
mikka, thanks so much! I got back early this morning. he is doing better and is so very lucky to have repairable injuries, now its just heal and rest. he is not one to sit still and will have to be in a wheelchair 3-4 months.
When I count my blessings, I count him over & over!
Filipa on 17 November 2009 at 11:49
Oh God, looks like unident body has been found near Morgan Harrington home town…
stephanie on 17 November 2009 at 12:04
Karma…Yes we missed you. I have been wondering where you were. I am really sorry about your son. I hope he gets better quick.
Does your DIL work with the grandmother from mom’s or dad’s side? It is all so heartbreaking…I feel so bad for what happened to Shaniya. I also feel really bad for her father. They keep showing the vigil from last night..I believe it is last night. He is just heartbroken and will forever live with the guilt of allowing Shaniya to stay longer with her mom.
stephanie on 17 November 2009 at 12:07
Hi Smoke..Thank you. I saw that on HLN too. I was really surprised when I heard 15 yrs. But, than when I saw Mr Smart say we will wait and see if she stands by her words(paraphrasing)…I thought. “I guess if the family is okay with it, who am I to think she belongs in jail for life.
mikka on 17 November 2009 at 12:11
karma,your son was so lucky,i am so happy for you!
I am still baffled as to how voting for anyones(the pickles) blog is gonna help in getting justice for Caylee. Maybe I just don’t have the knowledge that others have because it makes no sense to me. If your(the pickles) blog is the best why does he have to have others beg for votes???
Things that make ya go HMMMMMMMMM.
She is 7-8 years old.
The girl was wearing a blue skirt and a pink or a purple shirt.
Authorities said the girl may be traveling with two unknown Hispanic men, about 20 to 30 years old, with dark hair and wearing blue or black T-shirts.
They may be traveling in a white, possibly newer model panel van, with T-style brushed aluminum rims.
This is a HOAX. Two little boys made up the story!
ss on 18 November 2009 at 08:31
JUST IN….Elizabeth Olten’s accused killer will be tried as as adult. There will be another hearing at 1:00 central
the highway partol investigator. was cut off during court while talking about the graves that were dug he said one grave was for eo and they would not let him say who the other was for. They said it would come out in adult hearings!
the highway patrol investigator was asked if there was any ?probablication? (SP)for the murder, he said NO the same investigator was then asked why did she do it, he said “she said she wanted to know what it felt like”
Well, apparently there are issues with her. She is only 15. I was surprised when they said they didn’t know if they would charge her as an adult. And I am thinking, do the adult crime, do the adult time.

Karma, I’m sorry to hear about your son but I’m sure glad he will be ok!
Gap, I’m with you on that! I hope everyone here is doing their own voting
He says now he’s going to produce a “campaign” video for the Orbbie contest.He needs some extra support.

Amber Alert Issued For Missing Girl
Posted: 11:00 am EST November 18, 2009
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Tallahassee has issued an Amber Alert for a missing girl last seen in Port St. Lucie.
The girl was last seen wearing a blue skirt with a pink or purple shirt. Her name wasn’t released. Authorities say she is about 7 or 8 years old.
According to the Amber Alert, the girl might be with two men who might be traveling in a white van. She is believed to be in danger.
So she had attempted suicide, and has been under treatment. She also “wanted to know what it felt like.”
What is the world coming too???

Amber Alert Retracted, Called Hoax
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Tallahassee has retracted an Amber Alert for a girl after learning the story was a hoax.
Police told Local 6 news partner WPEC that two boys made up a story about the girl, who was never identified by name.
Gap, every post has a number on these themes. Eye’s is 145, yours is 146 and this one should be 147…..they are right before your avatar…..do you see them or is your off?

Eyes,
Bustamante has been charged with armed criminal action also. She committed murder by strangling, cutting the throat of Eo. That from grand jury
laddegan: Cole county grand jury returns two count indictment against alyssa Bustamante in olten murder. 1st degree murder and armed criminal action
Humble I see the numbers but mine go 0-9 and start all over with 0 again. the highest mine goes is 9 then starts with 0 again same way on the main blog also.
Humble don’t make fun of me when Deb can only count to 4. Guess my computer needs some remedial math!! Yes it was like that on the other colors. It seems like I remember reading someone elses post that theirs was like that but can’t remember who or when. Memeory not so good either!!!
The only thing I see that are the same is that you both use AOL. I will see if anyone else at aol is having problems. I know there was someone who couldn’t get to the site, and was on aol, so I wonder if it’s them?
I think the issue with Derry was AOL. So I don’t know what to tell you.
FYI, we dumped AOL once they started adding ads to the emails that we sent! :biggrin:
Gap, we dumped aol for a different internet server, that is all! It got rather annoying when I was emailing my man, who was at sea for 6 months, and it could come back at the bottom with the AOL ads in the email. I sent them an email and they would not remove the ads. I told them I was not going to promote their ads in MY EMAIL that I pay for, dumped them that day. I am very happy with the internet provider we have, and no ads in my emails!
Today in chat if I forget either remind me, or ask if anyone else has the number 0-9 only! I am very curious now!
Thanks SS! I didn’t like not have the time on the comments.
Server???? wth is the server??? I have AOL email address does that mean they are my server??? I use Internet Explorer what is that??? I told you I am not computer literate!!!
Great job with new design. Love the new colors. Can’t decide between red and blue. BTW, I have 0-9 only. One of the colors I did have additional, but don’t remember which. Doesn’t matter to me. Can use the time stamps.
Maxi, if it will let you vote again, have at it! I am not sure if it will or not.
Derryland on 18 November 2009 at 14:33
Humble,
My numbers go to only 10 (0) and I am on AOL. Must be AOL.
I’ve been on it for years and never had any trouble with it, but then, things change, as you know. I do love your new blogging pages and format and color. Feels very lively.
Hadley my thoughts are the same as your, but the woman should be just as responsible about birth control, also. I know he has a few kids with different woman, but there are many more out there with more kids with many more woman. Look at Shaniya’s so called mother. She has 3, i believe from 3 different men.
patsyg on 18 November 2009 at 20:29
I”m on AOL also, and my numbers only go to 9. So it must be AOL. I love the new format. It looks so neat, clean, and uncluttered. And easier to keep up with who said what. I used to be bad about just reading the posts, and forgetting to look to the right to see who said it!!
Humble this was my mostest favorite part of that interview!! The nerve of him. I bet he has the prosection trembling right now!!!!NOT
As a prelude to the approaching trial of Casey Anthony, Baez told News 13 that with her, and with all of his clients, if the state wants to convict his clients, they will have to work harder than they ever have before.
nannab, was it you who mentioned a couple of days ago that you raised guide dogs. I was just wondering because I have a “career” change guide dog. I was interested where you got your dogs to raise. I volunteer out of Southeast Guide dogs in Palmetto, Fl. I work in “puppy hugging”. That is the 6 to 9 wk. olds. Soooooooo cute.
awwwwwwww… San Rafael, CA.. Kids had them for 4-H projects… I was thinking about doing it again but I have too many of my own right now.. that’s neat being a hugger ..why don’t you adopt one to raise?
Good morning.. I’d like to take the time this morning to say, thanks Humble for bringing us all together as one big happy family! I find everyone kind, with feelings unlike any other blog I’ve ever been privy to. If not for our sweet baby girl, Caylee Marie, we would not be here. I reiterate, I don’t always post but have learned so much just reading your most intelligent observations & most times I feel spot on to my thoughts. If I had to pick & chose a family I would pick all of you! I’m not sure how old most of you are but coming from an older mom, I would be proud to be mom to any one of you! Anyway, I wanted to add, I had fun yesterday awaiting our new room color & do not hold anything against those who voted blue. I’m sure you’ve seen me in my most serious moods so don’t hold my silly moments against me, pleez.. I so love goofing off now & then.. When I get my own kids tell me to “settle down, Mom” but yet when I show my serious/defensive side, they try to get me meds? LOL.. gotta love those kids & hey, moms know when enough is enough, right? So anyway, try to understand, we all get carried away & remember this is the Internet & we all have our different personalities & quarlms with one another.. from what I have learned here, is we all have a heart & real warm, fuzzy feelings for one another * that is a good thing.. so thanks for being my Internet family! Luvya

ScRaMa.
What a lovely tribute and analysis of Humble’s Blog and all of the bloggers posting on it. I feel the same way, even though I don’t blog often although here everyday reading all of your comments and agreeing most of the time with what is said. Humble does have the best blog, no doubt about it, and we are grateful for all of the work she puts into it. Again, thanks for summing it all up, ScRaMa.

Muesli,
We all need to take a break from this bizzare case sometimes. Take care of YOU! We have been on a long journey together following this saga… and in the end, justice will be served! Warm regards, dear friend.
smoke&mirrors. Seems like everyone thinks I am taking a break from the case. I did say that I need to take a break, but then put in that I probably wouldn’t. I am much too nosey, and wouldn’t want to miss anything. Plus I would miss all of you terribly. So, you see, you’re all still stuck with me. I really love Humble’s site.
hey **** how are you doing? Happy Thanksgiving and to all others too… Call me The meeting is monday @ 10 :30 with Sgt Allen and my Lawyer Mark O’ Mara its going to be at his office in Orlando. They took a warrant out for my computer…..:( Anyways please call Bob For me at wesh 2 news.>>: Noone eles… ps call me
Oh goody. Joy Wray needs the media for her to go to the OCSO so she can be on tv. Maybe she is a possible suspect! This should say her attorney’s office! EEEK!
She sure could be Chrly. Hurry call the news stations in your area and let them know she will be at her attorney’s office for the warrant on her puter. They may need to go so they can boast their ratings!

(1) Lord, I’m thankful for so many things as this day of ‘thanks’ is here.
It seems the list much longer grows every passing year.
I’ve told you, Lord, so often how grateful I am to you,
For listening to my prayers, Lord & answering as you do.
I thank you for my husband, a man that’s truly rare;
Someone so perfect for me, I know he’s an ‘answered’ prayer.
(2) And it makes me smile each Holiday & feel especially blessed
’cause once again my 4 oldest kids will bring Their kids back to the nest
We’ll laugh, & love and just be glad we can spend time with each other
My heart… and eyes…will overflow With each “I love you, Mother”
(3) I thank you for my two youngest kids & my Grandkids too,
I guess you knew…how much they’d need me; how much I’d need them, too.
They give their love so freely, as only a child can do.
With them I’ll grow old, Lord, & I’m grateful that you knew.
(4) I thank you for my brothers, Lord, & for my sisters-in-law, too.
You’ve given me a family that anyone would choose.
Each one brings their special gifts…Love; wisdom; patience, too,
& puts them in the family pot for everyone to use.
(5) I thank you, Lord, for mom & dad in heaven – I told you my list was long….
But how can I not be grateful for a bond that is so strong.
They’ve been my anchor and my refuge when the storms seemed not to end.
& next to you, I always knew on them I could depend.
Good friends…Oh Lord how I thank you, for those so close & dear…
That takes the place of family when family isn’t near.
And I thank you for this country, Lord – the good ole U. S. of A.
For all her faults, She’s still the best – God, bless America I pray.
Won’t be around again today, unfortunately.. Had just got to work and gotten started yesterday when I received a phone call from my youngest son.. He’d had an accident.. He was riding 4-wheelers with a friend of his, and had gotten thrown off.. So here I go, rushing 50 miles to the hospital, in a frenzy.. Thank the good Lord above, he suffered a broken clavicle, and some pretty good scrapes and bruises.. He had his helmet on, or it could have been a LOT worse.. I’ll take a broken bone and some scrapes, over a coffin anyday… Needless to say, he’s in some pretty horrible pain, but he’s breathing and that’s the most important thing.. I didn’t get home until 5:30 am, so I have to go and finish stripping/waxing those floors today, before the office re-opens tomorrow.. Pray that I can hold up, and that my son will recover without too much pain.. Thanks everyone, for everything you do.. I love ya’ll.. *HUGS*
lynda on 29 November 2009 at 07:39
Justme, Thank the Lord he’s ok. Bones can mend. Thank God he had on his helmet. My prayers are with him. and you. Try to get some rest if possible. Hugs
Justme! Thank goodness only a broken leg is right.
I hope he feels better, soon!

Just Hope you are going to rest tonight, so sorry it sometimes seems it never ends with kids…our thoughts and prayers for morphine for your son and some uninterrupted rest for you!!! His shoulder and neck will be sore, but he will be fine Im sure!!!
Marsha on 29 November 2009 at 13:32
Just…sorry to hear about your son. I HATE 4 wheelers. A friend of ours had one that he kept at our farm and he came and got it last week. I was soooo relieved. I’ve heard of too many horrible accidents on them. We used to have a 3 wheeler YEARS ago when I was younger and dumber and they were even more dangerous but loved spending Sunday afternoon on the trails in Livingston…do you know where that is? We flipped it once (my husband and I on it) and I thought my back was broken, but dummy me got back on. Fortunately we were never seriously hurt on it but we had plenty of scrapes and bruises. We did however, see more than one person taken from the trails on a stretcher.

Just
Wow…..glad it was not worse!My son broke his colar bone also in a motorcycle accident last year, its very painful.It took a long time to heal, couldnt sleep or get compfortable at all.But your right, some road rash and being busted up is a lot better than the alternitive, his best friend died in a motorcycle accident this year.We were lucky.Take care just, and a speedy recovery to your son ♥♥♥
madmaxi on 30 November 2009 at 07:38
I am soo saddened to hear about your son, justme… but, you are right thank God , it wasnt worse… It cuts to the quick to hear of ANY problem with our children, but when they are in pain, it is really bad…
madmaxi on 30 November 2009 at 07:40
marsha, I know all about livingston being a mecca for 3 and 4 wheelers!!! I pulled off at that exit a couple times on sundays and wow, they are everywhere…. and I later learned it is the place to go for these vehicles.. I would be too scared to go on a trail.. I will think of you everytime I go past livinston now…
I am very confused as to why the neighbors of the Tiger have an attorney! And what is the deal with him having a new conference.

Coast Guard Finds Missing Brevard Boy
COCOA, Fla. — A missing Brevard County boy was located by the U.S. Coast Guard on Tuesday.
Authorities said Luke Finch disappeared over the weekend during a court-appointed supervised visit with his father, Paul Martikainen, 35.
Witnesses reported seeing Luke with Martikainen at a St. Petersburg marina. The witnesses said the father and son were boarding a friend’s 32-foot Bristol sailboat and sailed away. Martikainen’s Ford Explorer was found at a the marina.
The Coast Guard began searching for the boat in the Gulf of Mexico and broadcast a BOLO on the marine emergency channel every hour.
A representative with the Cocoa Police Department said Tuesday morning that Luke was found by the Coast Guard and is expected to arrive in Fort Myers Beach sometime during the evening.

why in Gods name are they seeking the death penalty…she had a accident…and lied how the child died….to me this is not a death penalty case….Casey Anthony should be the poster person for DP
madmaxi on 3 December 2009 at 13:30
ss,she had a car accident?? Is that what the girl is now claiming??? I dont know..this sounds very fishy to me.. what DOES sound as consistant as a severe car accident,to me, would be a beating, blunt force trauma , shaking, or throwing..
unless , there actually was a provable “severe car accident”, I am thinking this was not an accident.
Brumfield told investigators the infant, Olivia Garcia, died on Oct. 3 after tumbling head-first out of her playpen.

Savanna and Maxi,(hi)
No she beat her so bad it fractured the baby’s scull and caused brain damage the autopsy was ruled homicide.I think that article above was just trying to make a comparison on how bad the injurys were but wasn’t very clear, sorry!
Hi everyone, this is too cute! JohnInFlorida’s dog Syndy is in the voting for Great Pets!
Please vote for Syndy she has the pacifier in her mouth! I think you can vote daily!
Video from the hospital showed a middle-aged woman being removed from an ambulance on a stretcher and taken through an emergency entrance.
Health Central is the same hospital where Woods was taken after his crash on Nov. 27.
OK, so an ambulance shows up at the Woods house, takes Elin’s mom to the hospital, but Elin doesn’t live there anymore [according to the news reports]! So why would Elin’s mom be staying at the Woods house if Elin isn’t there! Makes you wonder if she DID move out…or is the rumor mill flowing?
I just read where she was staying in “one ” of tigers home in the area.. and I also read that she had had dinner with daughter elin and elin’s twin sister!!!! I never knew that she had a twin sister..oh well.. I bet it was a house in the same neighborhood.
I think if you beat a baby so bad its skull is cracked and it dies.. you deserve death penalty.. I dont care if she is billy bobs’ daughter.. it was her goddaughter,, if she didnt want to be around a baby , just say no, I cant watch her….

Combine flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingers until crumbly. Add the almonds. Add the cinnamon to the cherry pie filling.
Pour the pie filling in the pie shell. Sprinkle with the crumb topping. Reduce oven to 350 degrees and continue baking for about 35 minutes until topping is brown. Cool and serve.

Thank you Eyes…It sound really good and I will be making 2 of them. I LOVE almond extract. Do I use real butter or margarine? One other question…what does it mean line the pie shell with double thickness of foil? I have a ceramic and or glass pie pans.

Steph
You dont have to line the pie crust, but what that method is for is to “firm” up your dough before you put wet ingredients in it.Just dont line it and bake about 5 mins.That way your crust wont be soggy.Use REAL butter,it has more flavor.You can also use 1/2 flour and 1/2 oats or crumbled vanilla wafers for the topping…
Thank you again Eyes…it does sound yummy.
Okay Humblette bloggers and lurkers…If you have a really good pumpkin pie recipe could you please leave it here for me…Thank you
Its really easy steph, and when your in the mood try apple filling with walut topping in place of the almonds….and of coarse vanilla ice cream!
That sounds really good to Eyes…I will do that, thank you

Hiya everyone, ive written a little note via Humble. I hope you all get a chance to read it. Again thanks.
Is it just me or is everyone else sick of this voting campaign thats going on all over?? Here’s a great post from Niecey’s
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
on November 12, 2009 at 3:03 pm noel
Niecey, Your post was quite appropriate and brought to the surface a lot of the thoughts I was having about this vote. Thank you for putting in to words what so many are thinking.
Obviously, it is an honor to be nominated for any award that recognizes your talents. For me, it would also be an honor to win the award if I won it honestly and fairly. This is the problem I have with how this blog owner is going about winning. Nothing about it is honest or fair.
Now most of you have seen the multitude of posts asking for votes. I come to this area of WordPress to read more about the Anthony case, not to have to fight through posts that prompt me to Vote for Me or Why I Vote for this man who can do no wrong and you should too!! The only light at the end of the tunnel is that the contest ends in 8 days!!
Now all that bugs me, but what really left a bad taste in my mouth is the multiple voting that is going on. Bloggers are making up multiple emails and names to pad the votes.
As I said, I am a lurker and I read several blogs. I lost all respect for this blog owner when he was encouraging his ladies to open up more email addresses. Several even have them for their pets, including a bird. To me, that is a desperate,win at all costs, move.
This from a person who reminds others his catchwords are facts, fairness, bonesty, etc. He is quick to point out his critics are jealous and have no self-esteem. Well, I think by now most everyone knows that if he wins it has been done not by fairness, but dogs, cats, mice and birds voting along with the double and triple voting ladies. I think if you want to win an award that bad maybe some self-esteem isues may be involved, thus the win at all costs mentality.
In conclusion, I am not sure how this person sleeps well at night. And if he does, I find that even more frightening, that means his moral compass does not find the actions I outlined as cheating.
Would’nt it have been more fun and rewarding to find out you won if you did it the right and fair way? And I am sure Victory would have tasted so much sweeter. Even if he did not win, playing by the rules, I would have never lost my respect for him and felt he was honored by the nomination.
As it is now, no one in the blog world will feel he won fair and square, if he does win. They will continue to talk about him and he will have to come up with more childish variations of bowel movement and flatulance words to call them. Another of my pet peeves as no other blog I visit uses those words on a daily basis(thank you neicey for never using them!). Perhaps he had a bad potty training experience as there sure is an anal fixation!
Thank You for your writings and for letting me post such a long reply. See why I usually only lurk?
Below I have posted a portion of the voting rules taken directly from the site. I had that icky feeling about what was transpiring with the voting right from the beginning.
Ironically, one of the ladies of his forum posted the link to the official rules on Bill S. blog and invited anyone who felt there was wrongdoing to check it out. When I did this is part of what I found. What do you all think? Are they blurring the rules?
Nominees are permitted to encourage others to vote for their Blogs. However, collusion between or among any Nominees and/or Voters or other participants to unfairly affect the outcome of the Voting Period or this Contest (e.g., through fraud or tampering) is strictly prohibited and may result in the immediate disqualification of the relevant Nomination. Any person attempting to defraud or tamper with this Contest in any way will be ineligible for prizes and may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Tampering includes attempting to nominate or vote more than the number of times permitted by these Official Rules including by using an automated device, multiple email addresses or otherwise. Any failure by Orlando Sentinel to enforce any of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of such Official Rules.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
So anyone who is tired of this inflated ego I would encourage you to vote in the news section for the Daily city then the DISUnplugged for the overall best blog. Thank you

from the website above for all of us pet lovers
Humans
WASHINGTON – In the first study of its kind, Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that companion cats and dogs are polluted with even higher levels of many of the same synthetic industrial chemicals that researchers have recently found in people, including newborns.
In addition to being guardians, playmates and even beloved family members, dogs and cats may also be serving as sentinels for human health problems that can arise from exposures to industrial chemicals.
In recognition of the unique roles that pets play in our lives, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) undertook a study to investigate the extent of exposures dogs and cats face to contaminants in our homes and outdoor environments. What we found was startling.
Dogs and cats were contaminated with 48 of 70 industrial chemicals tested, including 43 chemicals at levels higher than those typically found in people, according to our study of blood and urine from 20 dogs and 40 cats. Average levels of many chemicals were substantially higher in pets than is typical for people, with 2.4 times higher levels of stain-and grease-proof coatings (perfluorochemicals) in dogs, 23 times more fire retardants (PBDEs) in cats, and more than 5 times the amounts of mercury, compared to average levels in people found in national studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and EWG.
“Like humans, pets are also exposed to toxic chemicals on a daily basis, and as this investigation found, are contaminated at higher levels,” said Jane Houlihan, VP for Research at EWG. “The presence of chemicals in dogs and cats sounds a cautionary warning for the present and future health of children as well. This study demonstrating the chemical body burden of dogs and cats is a wake-up call for stronger safety standards from industrial chemical exposures that will protect all members of our families, including our pets.”
“This study is valuable in that it used pet animals that live in nearly fifty percent of all US households as environmental sentinels to measure the level of contamination with a wide variety of industrial chemicals that have also been shown to be present in human tissue. Because pet animals tend to have similar or higher concentrations of these chemicals in their body than humans, epidemiological studies of pets can be used to identify potential adverse health effects at a lower cost and in a much shorter period of time than it would take to perform similar studies in humans,” said Dr. Larry Glickman – a leading veterinarian and distinguished scientist who for the past three decades conducted research in veterinary epidemiology.
“This study shows that our pets are susceptible to the absorption of potentially harmful chemicals from our environment just as we are. Perhaps even more troubling is that these chemicals have been found in higher levels in pets than in humans implying potential harmful consequences for their health and well being and the need for further study,” said Dr. John Billeter, DVM, the veterinarian who conducted the blood and urine tests.
Just as children ingest pollutants in tap water, play on lawns with pesticide residues, or breathe in an array of indoor air contaminants, so do their pets. But with there compressed lifespans, developing and aging seven or more times faster than children, pets also develop health problems much more rapidly. Pets, like infants and toddlers, have limited diets and play close to the floor, often licking the ground as well as their paws, greatly increasing both their exposures to chemicals and the resulting health risks.
In America there are 8 times more companion dogs and cats than there are children under five. Seventy percent more households have dogs or cats than children of any age. These pets are often beloved family members, and yet they can be subjected to chronic, constant exposures to chemical contaminants in homes, yards, and parks that pet owners cannot always prevent.
Scientists Link Chemical Exposure to Increased Rates of Cancer, Other Diseases in Pets:
Under current federal law, chemical companies do not have to prove chemicals are safe before they are used in products, including pet toys and other products for our companion animals. For pets as for people, the result is a body burden of complex mixtures of industrial chemicals never tested for safety. Health problems in pets span high rates of cancer in dogs and skyrocketing incidence of hyperthyroidism in cats. Genetic changes can’t explain the increases in certain health problems among pets, leaving scientists to believe that chemical exposures play a significant role.

http://www.clickorlando.com/news/21604729/detail.html
hey, everyone, I am sorry.. I left this morning right after my remark about someones birthday today!!!! I forgot all about it.. sorry.. today, is my grandson’s birthday.. he is 11 years old…. and sooo good and smart and nice and polite…
filipa ,., did you change your name???? I will try to remember the filipa..
OH how cute Maxi! Happy Birthday to your grandson!
Marinating Madness…Thank you and I have been doing my voting
humble,, I love you,, truly I do…you have a great blog.. I am so thankful for you, and for your blog…
madi,tell your grandson,
happy birtday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
steph, if you didn’t get my message through humble, let me know, i will ask her to re-send
Eoar…I did get it and wanted to sit down last night and send you a note. But, my internet went out until this evening when I got on the blog. It sure is good to see you on the blog when I get on…been missing you bunches
Whats up girly?
EYE
just get this:
I allowed my 15 year old to go to a friends birthday yeaterday.
then, at 1.30am my phone rings:
“Mum! it’s me Matilde! we’re at this Club, and the guys at the door say I’m 15!!!!and dont have an ID here with me, can you come up???
…and i asked her “they say” you are 15???
well, i could go on and on on last night “real” soap opera, but I better go read the news!!!
I’m not thinking straight, from lack of proper sleep.
Whoa!! did you go up to the club?
Steph! Madness indeed!!! I have a question that I don’t want to bring up on the main page of any WordPress blogs but I’m dying to know. How did Judge Strickland know that DM was in his courtroom that time? Are we supposed to believe that he just happened to recognize him because he saw one third of his face in his banner at the top of his blog and realized it was him and just had to speak to him??? I hardly think so. In my opinion DM must have asked someone (a bailiff probably) before court began if he could have a word with the judge when court was over, right? How else would the judge know? I’ve been very curious about this. Anyone know how that went down? Thanks.
Gap…You answered way better than I could have, lol. I think you are right on. Humble brings up a very important point…How come he didn’t know his name…Get that guy. Why didn’t he say the blogger md…something to show he is a reader of his blog?
Bees Knees~I know your question was not addressed to me but I wanted to tell you I have also wondered that and I have it recorded so I went back and watched again to see if I could catch anything new, well….when the Judge calls the women(deputy) up to him and tells her he wants to see the man in the second row in the striped shirt he also says its the guy in this picture right here. So I am just guess but I bet Ole’ MD sent a note or letter to him asking to meet him.
Sorry Steph wasn’t honing in on your question but I too was curious!!! lol
Sorry Bees….as he says the guy in this picture he points down on his desk or whatever its called so I guess that is where the picture was.
Thanks Gap. I’m positive it went down like that. Isn’t it funny that the pickle doesn’t add the part that HE ASKED TO MEET THE JUDGE? He wants his readers to think the judge just recognized him and wanted to meet him. God! He’s as stupid as the Anthonys!
WHAT? To funny! He wants everyone to think the Judge knows him! Oh that is too funny. If the judge knew him, he would have said his name! Oh goody Bees you make me laugh!
EYE
sure. Ya think? and leave the 6 year old, or should I take her clubbing? lol
Yes. It’s very funny. The pickle is melting down these days. Have you read his funny letter to wftv? He’s losing it! The pickle will soon be nothing but relish. HA!!!
Bees & Humble you know it is really kinda sad. His only identity must be his blog and the harem!!! It was obviously very important to him to have people think the Judge was requesting his presence!!!(NOT) lmao
My comment is in moderation still…so I am going to repost without saying the names I said for it to go into moderation.
Gap…You answered way better than I could have, lol. I think you are right on. Humble brings up a very important point…How come he didn’t know his name…Get that guy. Why didn’t he say ____ or ________, something to show he is a reader of his blog?
Yep Steph…it could have been _______ mugshot!!! that may have been the picture he had!!
On for a minute, have things to do before it gets to late! GAP, your too funny. Bee’s I have read nothing he writes. Since he felt the urge to try and slam me, then even think I cared, hahahhaha, I read nothing! Bee you are still cracking me up! He says the Judge knows him…….Wonder if the Judge needs a copy of that. I think that is a conflict of the Judges interest! Hummm, he could blow this whole case!
BBL.
Just to add my two cents, I was highly upset A. That Strickland would ( if he did) make a comment about any blog at all, it would be like telling Belich good job pinning Casey to the wall!
B. That the idiot would make such a spectacle about it on his website, which any conversation should have been considered private.
C. That a poem lauding the idiot and indicating that Strickland basically adored him, would be posted on the main page of his site
I dont care WHAT was said, I will never believe Strickland said anything about being the ” bet” or fairest etc. I also dont think Strickland cares less what anyone thinks of the A’s, as he has shown no real interest in them from the beginning! JMO I dont want this case jeopardized by stupidity, especially as the Dteam seems to get half of their motions from things said on blogs!
azrenee,i think stricky is to busy,to read up all blogs!i will send him my photo,may he will shake my hand too! :biggrin:
AZ…Very well Said
Mikka…When you shake his hand will you tell him I said Hi, lol
steph,i think i will look like this,when he shake my hand –
AZRenee, this is where the lies are! I am pretty convinced, Strickland would have a fit if he read his blog, especially since someone told me he cornered the computer guy. (I have no clue, the part was sent to me via email) I would say that there would be a little judgment day for this certain someone.
Mikka!
Curtsy…
Mikka…lol
Good Lord! I have never had so many laughs on the internet as I have the past few days. I’m trying hard to keep my mouth shut. I think I’ve got it all out of me now. But I can’t stop laughing! I hope Bill S. will just post his blog and keep it closed to comments. That’s a good idea Humble. I will suggest that to him too.
AHA.. Found ya’ll.. Humble.. He did corner the computer guy, anyway, he said he was going to.. And I was thinking, that’s an interference to this case, and he’s putting his nose where it doesn’t belong, AT ALL.. I wish LE would toss his arse in jail right along with the rest of them.. He has no business doing that..
I dont give a rats behind whos blog Judge Strickland prefers, cmon, but Im just concerned this does not look good, probably irrelevant, but a judge in a big case like this, supposedly reading and judging blogs, then commenting on them, when he has inside sealed info on the case. I would think ANY discussion about this case would be off limits for the judge, and if this is all a sham it should be cleared up. JMO
Bees, I just get tired of the problems blaming everyone else for the problem. It is very clear on BillS’s site where the problem lies!
Justme! It is, and there is a name for it, I will see if I can find it!
AZRenee, I don’t believe for ONE minute the Judge is out reading blogs.
Steph Pumpkin pie:
http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?code=HY27482779
I’m totally with you AZ.. This case is way too important to have unimportant chit mess it up and have to do it all over again.. Justice for Caylee is what it’s ALL ABOUT.. Not who’s blog got the most hits, or who’s head got stolen..
Humble.. I’m sitting on my hands REAL HARD right now!! Just wanted you to know that I’m trying REALLY HARD.. But I can’t hardly control myself.. My guts are laughing, and I want to say it so bad.. ROFL
Justme, come on over to the main post!
Drew Peterson, accused of killing his third wife, sued JP Morgan Chase in federal court late Monday, accusing the bank of … something to do with foreclosing on his 2nd mortgage..didn’t read it all..he wants to sell his house to Fox.. Yes, he is still locked up…
HEY!! Wonder if the FBI will post a reward??

Thanks for the link…this is just fine, another mother that treats her child like a dollar sign.I hope they throw the book at her and find that baby alive.
Thanks Janet! Good to see you!
the judge may have actually scolded him for being in the courtroom.. without a reason except to flaunt his blog… someone probably told the judge and the judge called him out and once he admitted yes he was a blog owner… judge said that this is not a game for his amusement….
Some one sent me that whole post maxi,,,wonder what could be done with it!

Just updated the Gone missing page:
http://humbleopinionforum.net/gone-missing/
If anyone getts the chance and is bored, google the elegant miss Hunt-Darnett event in NC. I came across it on the link Humble left above. 2 y/o and up in a pagent, wearing enough hairspray and makeup to destroy their ourer 5 loayers of epidermis. They have pics on the article I read of these kids with their cell phones, at age 7, making lots of disgruntled faces etc. What is wrong with this country??? Cant a kid be a kid just for a few years??? Parents need to win awards vicariously through their progeny to gain some kind of recognition? Im sorry, Im all about cute babies, kids in dance lessons, ( cheerleading at 3—not so much) kids in sports…I think one of the biggest problems is kids dont get to play, interact, learn about the world in their own space and time. Sorry, a pet peeve of mine…I have never thought starting stressful competition for kids at young ages was good. JMHO and rant!
Thank you Janet, Mikka and Humble for the links
AZ…I have real issues with beauty pageants for these little girls. Our niece has been in baby pageants and such, none of them had real talents but being cute babies/kids. My issues are so much more about taking these children and making them look like they are 25 yrs old. I don’t get it…they are all still babies and need to enjoy their childhoods. They have plenty of time to be adults…their whole lives. You only have so much time to be a child. Wait until their girls are pre-teen and they know everything and think they are 25 yrs old…why rush it?
Press Conference it coming up in Shaniay case
Mikka left a link on the other blog…In there a person that helped search for Shaniya said he doesn’t normally believe in the dp. But, in this case he does believe in it…I am with him and hope they receive the dp.
wow..another one of the sickest of sick cases.. 5 years old.. another innocent little angel.. makes me sick thinking about it.
How could any defense attorney.. including a public defender.. take this case?
And now we must protect the rights of the accused, the almighty rights of the accused. Poor little Shaniya. Yesterday I said that she was either drugged or she knew the guy. Please God, I pray she was drugged and didn’t know what was happening to her. I can’t stand any more of this. What is with this legal business of admitting guilt and then pleading not guilty. I am too angry to say anything more.
Nauseating, and watching that a-hole in court walk in with a smirk on his face, made me ill. I hope prison takes the smirk off his face, I dont think the prisoners will take kindly to this crime at all.

* just (sorry)
Maxi, Marsha, or anyone else that stops by who lives in Kentucky.. Here’s a link for you, just in case you need to track a criminal.. It’s called Vinelink.. Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it or not, but we’re the only state that has something like this, or so it says.. I’ve been using it to track the guy who stole from us.. As of a few minutes ago, he’s still incarcerated.. YEE HAA!! It notifies you via email when the criminals status changes. It’s pretty cool, and is a good tool for domestic violence, crimes against children, etc. Anyway, here’s the link:
https://www.vinelink.com/vinelink/siteInfoAction.do?siteId=18000
OOPS… Wrong again.. It says Kentucky was the FIRST state.. Not the only one.. EEEKKK.. Need to put my glasses on..
Welcome to the Kentucky VINELink homepage. The VINELink system is an information and notification resource that provides information about an offender’s custody status. This resource works in conjunction with the automated V.I.N.E. service provided by the Kentucky Department of Corrections, Office of Victim Services.
In December 1994, Jefferson County established the nation’s first automated victim notification system in response to the brutal murder in Louisville, KY of Mary Byron one year earlier. Her former boyfriend had kidnapped and raped her and had been incarcerated in the Jefferson County Jail. Fearing that he might pose a danger to her, Mary and her parents had asked to be notified if he were released. The jail officials failed to notify them, and he murdered her on her twenty-first birthday.
In 1996, Kentucky Department of Corrections implemented the Victim Information and Notification (V.I.N.E.) System, making Kentucky the first state in the nation to provide this service on a statewide basis.
thanks justme, I added this to my favorites… I have no one I need to track at this time.. but, I can see it would be wonderful to have advance notice if someone was getting released that had harmed you… I have heard of several incidents where someone was supposed to be told when an x or an offender was out of prison, but, was killed because the prison didnt inform them…
Thanks just! No one that I’m tracking at this time, and hopefully won’t be, but this is a great tool for anyone that is. I looked up the chester the molester that used to be the pastor at a church near here. I guess he’s still roaming the streets. I know he was indicted, but it hasn’t gone to court yet to my knowledge. Meanwhile, other children are being put at risk. I’m sure the church is hiding him somewhere.
Greetings all! Miss me? Been away a while. My adult son was hit by a car while riding his bike, in Fayetteville. I was down there tending to him, ER, surgery & recovery. Built a ramp for his 3-4 months of wheelchair so that he could be released for home. Shattered wrist & forearm, broken pelvis and major road rash.
Meanwhile…. Sheniya happend right there. Grandmother works with my DIL.
Sorry to hear about your son. Wow, a few broken bones! One of the lucky ones! Hope he is getting well!
Oh wow, any news from the DIL on what grandma has said! It is very sad…oh wait, grandma said Shaniya mom was a great mom!
It is very sad about her.
thanks humble, luckily its all mendable and only temporary pain for him. he’s lucky and me too! Just glad he will be ok in time.
The DIL works at a nursing/assisted living home. i think shaniya’s mother & grandmother BOTH worked there one in the kitchen and one in housekeeping but the grandmother is saying no way! said her daughter “use to” do drugs but no more and no way she did this! (yea right)
karma.. Sorry to hear about your son.. I hope he will be okay.. He’s lucky.. *Hugs*
justme66, thanks so much! He sure was lucky & me TOO!! he’s broken but he’s still here to tell about it! Luckily he’s in the Air Force so his medical bills are all paid and he got great care, and they were great to me too!
Karma, they said the mom worked there!
Karma, you know who makes out on that is the person in the car, if they are at fault. The medical is paid for! I am pretty impressed with military hospitals! You get really good care there!
Hope he get better soon. The broken pelvis has got to be very painful!
MIKKA! You never got back here. I hope everything is ok! I know you said snow………..just checking on you!

our justice system is broken,she get only 15 years,its a shame!
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/17/smart.plea/index.html
humble i am good, :biggrin:
karma,so sorry about your son,hope he get well soon!come back when you can!
mikka, thanks so much! I got back early this morning. he is doing better and is so very lucky to have repairable injuries, now its just heal and rest. he is not one to sit still and will have to be in a wheelchair 3-4 months.
When I count my blessings, I count him over & over!
Oh God, looks like unident body has been found near Morgan Harrington home town…
Karma…Yes we missed you. I have been wondering where you were. I am really sorry about your son. I hope he gets better quick.
Does your DIL work with the grandmother from mom’s or dad’s side? It is all so heartbreaking…I feel so bad for what happened to Shaniya. I also feel really bad for her father. They keep showing the vigil from last night..I believe it is last night. He is just heartbroken and will forever live with the guilt of allowing Shaniya to stay longer with her mom.
Hi Smoke..Thank you. I saw that on HLN too. I was really surprised when I heard 15 yrs. But, than when I saw Mr Smart say we will wait and see if she stands by her words(paraphrasing)…I thought. “I guess if the family is okay with it, who am I to think she belongs in jail for life.
karma,your son was so lucky,i am so happy for you!
Filipa…thank you I am going to go look that up
Here is a piece from the vigil

Amber Alert Issued For Unknown Girl
Girl Last Seen In Port St. Lucie
http://www.wesh.com/news/21651462/detail.html
She is 7-8 years old.
The girl was wearing a blue skirt and a pink or a purple shirt.
Authorities said the girl may be traveling with two unknown Hispanic men, about 20 to 30 years old, with dark hair and wearing blue or black T-shirts.
They may be traveling in a white, possibly newer model panel van, with T-style brushed aluminum rims.
This is a HOAX. Two little boys made up the story!
JUST IN….Elizabeth Olten’s accused killer will be tried as as adult. There will be another hearing at 1:00 central
the highway partol investigator. was cut off during court while talking about the graves that were dug he said one grave was for eo and they would not let him say who the other was for. They said it would come out in adult hearings!
the highway patrol investigator was asked if there was any ?probablication? (SP)for the murder, he said NO the same investigator was then asked why did she do it, he said “she said she wanted to know what it felt like”
Thanks SS! She should be.
Here is her picture
http://www.komu.com/satellite/SatelliteRender/KOMU.com/ba8a4513-c0a8-2f11-0063-9bd94c70b769/07ae129e-80ce-0971-0113-e864f8522814
Wow, she wears alot of makeup for a 15 year old….
Humble, your welcome. This girl is sick, I have been following this case close and somethings I have heard are very disturbing!!!
Well, apparently there are issues with her. She is only 15. I was surprised when they said they didn’t know if they would charge her as an adult. And I am thinking, do the adult crime, do the adult time.
Karma, I’m sorry to hear about your son but I’m sure glad he will be ok!
Gap, I’m with you on that! I hope everyone here is doing their own voting
He says now he’s going to produce a “campaign” video for the Orbbie contest.He needs some extra support.
Amber Alert Issued For Missing Girl
Posted: 11:00 am EST November 18, 2009
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Tallahassee has issued an Amber Alert for a missing girl last seen in Port St. Lucie.
The girl was last seen wearing a blue skirt with a pink or purple shirt. Her name wasn’t released. Authorities say she is about 7 or 8 years old.
According to the Amber Alert, the girl might be with two men who might be traveling in a white van. She is believed to be in danger.
Thanks, humble and maze!
Here is more on the Elizabeth Olten case
http://www.connectmidmissouri.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=378814
So she had attempted suicide, and has been under treatment. She also “wanted to know what it felt like.”
What is the world coming too???
Amber Alert Retracted, Called Hoax
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Tallahassee has retracted an Amber Alert for a girl after learning the story was a hoax.
Police told Local 6 news partner WPEC that two boys made up a story about the girl, who was never identified by name.
Well, I hope they are charged.
hello..just testing this out..
Hello Joann! I see you! Are you having problems???
SS
Well you called that one, #135.Turned out she is mentally ill.I have not heard anything on an autopsy, do we know how the young girl died?
Humble # 140 to bad she didnt succeed, i know that sounds mean but she is EVIL….
Humble I see Eyespy is talking about certain post by # mine are 0-9 and start back over at 0. Are everyones not like that?
Gap, every post has a number on these themes. Eye’s is 145, yours is 146 and this one should be 147…..they are right before your avatar…..do you see them or is your off?
Eyes,
Bustamante has been charged with armed criminal action also. She committed murder by strangling, cutting the throat of Eo. That from grand jury
laddegan: Cole county grand jury returns two count indictment against alyssa Bustamante in olten murder. 1st degree murder and armed criminal action
Humble I see the numbers but mine go 0-9 and start all over with 0 again. the highest mine goes is 9 then starts with 0 again same way on the main blog also.
Forgot to say she was also stabbed
Were they like that on the other colors, Gap? Can your puter only count to 9?
Anyone else having problems with the numbers?
Humble don’t make fun of me when Deb can only count to 4. Guess my computer needs some remedial math!! Yes it was like that on the other colors. It seems like I remember reading someone elses post that theirs was like that but can’t remember who or when. Memeory not so good either!!!
P.S. Nancy Grace makes me
just thought I would throw that in.
Humble, my numbers only go to 9 also
Interesting SS, you and Gap are in a league of your own! :biggrin: I need check no further!
The only thing I see that are the same is that you both use AOL. I will see if anyone else at aol is having problems. I know there was someone who couldn’t get to the site, and was on aol, so I wonder if it’s them?
Of course SS and I are in a league of our own. What more needs to be said!!
:biggrin:
Humble
I think it was derryland??
Gap
you crack me up!
SS you know we are “special”!!!
Yes you are both special~
I think the issue with Derry was AOL. So I don’t know what to tell you.
FYI, we dumped AOL once they started adding ads to the emails that we sent! :biggrin:
I remember you saying that Humble. Don’t know how to dump anyone!! My kids my email up for me and I do good just to check it.
Humble, it’s no biggie for me I use the time stamps anyway so thanks for adding them!!
Gap, we dumped aol for a different internet server, that is all! It got rather annoying when I was emailing my man, who was at sea for 6 months, and it could come back at the bottom with the AOL ads in the email. I sent them an email and they would not remove the ads. I told them I was not going to promote their ads in MY EMAIL that I pay for, dumped them that day. I am very happy with the internet provider we have, and no ads in my emails!
Today in chat if I forget either remind me, or ask if anyone else has the number 0-9 only! I am very curious now!
Thanks SS! I didn’t like not have the time on the comments.
Server???? wth is the server???
I have AOL email address does that mean they are my server??? I use Internet Explorer what is that??? I told you I am not computer literate!!!
Great job with new design. Love the new colors. Can’t decide between red and blue. BTW, I have 0-9 only. One of the colors I did have additional, but don’t remember which. Doesn’t matter to me. Can use the time stamps.
Hi Sammi! Welcome! Thanks! Make sure you vote. Those are the 2 colors it is neck and neck with!
hey everyone.. It is also me that goes only up to 9 and then to zero and back to 9…..lol,, at least we can go alittle higher than eastcoastdebs 4!!
hey all, johnny depp is sexiest man alive again this year!!! yeah.. he is the sexiest man alive,, imo..
red and blue are neck and neck humble???? can I vote again to help swing it?????I havent voted for red or blue yet!!!!
Maxi
Maxi, if it will let you vote again, have at it! I am not sure if it will or not.
Humble,
My numbers go to only 10 (0) and I am on AOL. Must be AOL.
I’ve been on it for years and never had any trouble with it, but then, things change, as you know. I do love your new blogging pages and format and color. Feels very lively.
Thanks Derry! I am at a lost to why the numbering is screwed up for some!
Hadley my thoughts are the same as your, but the woman should be just as responsible about birth control, also. I know he has a few kids with different woman, but there are many more out there with more kids with many more woman. Look at Shaniya’s so called mother. She has 3, i believe from 3 different men.
I”m on AOL also, and my numbers only go to 9. So it must be AOL. I love the new format. It looks so neat, clean, and uncluttered. And easier to keep up with who said what. I used to be bad about just reading the posts, and forgetting to look to the right to see who said it!!

http://www.cfnews13.com/News/CountyByCounty/CountyStories/2009/11/18/hillsborough_mom_used_stun_gun_hammers_to_discipline_kids.html
Humble this was my mostest favorite part of that interview!! The nerve of him. I bet he has the prosection trembling right now!!!!NOT
As a prelude to the approaching trial of Casey Anthony, Baez told News 13 that with her, and with all of his clients, if the state wants to convict his clients, they will have to work harder than they ever have before.
Comment On This Story
I am just flabbergasted at our government new take on mammograms and self breast exams. WTH are they thinking????
nannab, was it you who mentioned a couple of days ago that you raised guide dogs. I was just wondering because I have a “career” change guide dog. I was interested where you got your dogs to raise. I volunteer out of Southeast Guide dogs in Palmetto, Fl. I work in “puppy hugging”. That is the 6 to 9 wk. olds. Soooooooo cute.
Unfortunately, my husband has just tooted the horn for me and I have to run. I’ll check back later.
awwwwwwww… San Rafael, CA.. Kids had them for 4-H projects… I was thinking about doing it again but I have too many of my own right now.. that’s neat being a hugger ..why don’t you adopt one to raise?
I could do it when I retire..jus thought of that..
Good morning.. I’d like to take the time this morning to say, thanks Humble for bringing us all together as one big happy family! I find everyone kind, with feelings unlike any other blog I’ve ever been privy to. If not for our sweet baby girl, Caylee Marie, we would not be here. I reiterate, I don’t always post but have learned so much just reading your most intelligent observations & most times I feel spot on to my thoughts. If I had to pick & chose a family I would pick all of you! I’m not sure how old most of you are but coming from an older mom, I would be proud to be mom to any one of you! Anyway, I wanted to add, I had fun yesterday awaiting our new room color & do not hold anything against those who voted blue. I’m sure you’ve seen me in my most serious moods so don’t hold my silly moments against me, pleez.. I so love goofing off now & then.. When I get
my own kids tell me to “settle down, Mom” but yet when I show my serious/defensive side, they try to get me meds? LOL.. gotta love those kids & hey, moms know when enough is enough, right? So anyway, try to understand, we all get carried away & remember this is the Internet & we all have our different personalities & quarlms with one another.. from what I have learned here, is we all have a heart & real warm, fuzzy feelings for one another * that is a good thing.. so thanks for being my Internet family! Luvya
ScRaMa.
What a lovely tribute and analysis of Humble’s Blog and all of the bloggers posting on it. I feel the same way, even though I don’t blog often although here everyday reading all of your comments and agreeing most of the time with what is said. Humble does have the best blog, no doubt about it, and we are grateful for all of the work she puts into it. Again, thanks for summing it all up, ScRaMa.
Scrama…I second that. Very well said and I feel the same way.

Justme…I did not mean to be rude lastnite and not thank you for telling me it was CT’s birthday. I had myself confused!! I went back to try and see who I was talking about only to realize it was still the same day and it wasn’t until today that was Eyespy’s birthday.
muesli,hope you come back,to us again,you are our friend!!
Muesli,
We all need to take a break from this bizzare case sometimes. Take care of YOU! We have been on a long journey together following this saga… and in the end, justice will be served! Warm regards, dear friend.
smoke&mirrors. Seems like everyone thinks I am taking a break from the case. I did say that I need to take a break, but then put in that I probably wouldn’t. I am much too nosey, and wouldn’t want to miss anything. Plus I would miss all of you terribly. So, you see, you’re all still stuck with me. I really love Humble’s site.
Muesli,
Glad to see you are back and in rare form!
Smoke!
A comment from Joy Wray at another blog
hey **** how are you doing? Happy Thanksgiving and to all others too… Call me The meeting is monday @ 10 :30 with Sgt Allen and my Lawyer Mark O’ Mara its going to be at his office in Orlando. They took a warrant out for my computer…..:( Anyways please call Bob For me at wesh 2 news.>>: Noone eles… ps call me
Oh goody. Joy Wray needs the media for her to go to the OCSO so she can be on tv. Maybe she is a possible suspect! This should say her attorney’s office! EEEK!
it’s that smelly pillow she tore up humble …or all those ciggi butts she saved at home :sideways: , she’ll be famous lol
She sure could be Chrly. Hurry call the news stations in your area and let them know she will be at her attorney’s office for the warrant on her puter. They may need to go so they can boast their ratings!
Gap or Beesknees whoever was asking about this earlier? I found this posted on hornsby’s site
the judge asked the bailiff to bring him up as someone sent him a note that there was someone with a blog that wanted to meet him. thats all
btw i’m not just guessing on that. i know someone who was there and saw it go down
What SS? The post about knowing the Judge and the judge reading the blog is bogus?
Humble, hahahha thats what I had been hearing too!
Thank you SS. That is so funny.
something to laugh

(1) Lord, I’m thankful for so many things as this day of ‘thanks’ is here.
It seems the list much longer grows every passing year.
I’ve told you, Lord, so often how grateful I am to you,
For listening to my prayers, Lord & answering as you do.
I thank you for my husband, a man that’s truly rare;
Someone so perfect for me, I know he’s an ‘answered’ prayer.
(2) And it makes me smile each Holiday & feel especially blessed
’cause once again my 4 oldest kids will bring Their kids back to the nest
We’ll laugh, & love and just be glad we can spend time with each other
My heart… and eyes…will overflow With each “I love you, Mother”
(3) I thank you for my two youngest kids & my Grandkids too,
I guess you knew…how much they’d need me; how much I’d need them, too.
They give their love so freely, as only a child can do.
With them I’ll grow old, Lord, & I’m grateful that you knew.
(4) I thank you for my brothers, Lord, & for my sisters-in-law, too.
You’ve given me a family that anyone would choose.
Each one brings their special gifts…Love; wisdom; patience, too,
& puts them in the family pot for everyone to use.
(5) I thank you, Lord, for mom & dad in heaven – I told you my list was long….
But how can I not be grateful for a bond that is so strong.
They’ve been my anchor and my refuge when the storms seemed not to end.
& next to you, I always knew on them I could depend.
That takes the place of family when family isn’t near.
And I thank you for this country, Lord – the good ole U. S. of A.
For all her faults, She’s still the best – God, bless America I pray.
(7) I’m thankful, Lord that I can go to any church I choose.
& when our leaders have done wrong I can read it in the news.
I’m thankful, Lord, that because of you, Hope is always here.
I THANK YOU FOR THIS LIFE OF MINE…AND FOR THOSE WITH WHOM IT’S SHARED.

Blessed that is great! Thanks for sharing!
Won’t be around again today, unfortunately.. Had just got to work and gotten started yesterday when I received a phone call from my youngest son.. He’d had an accident.. He was riding 4-wheelers with a friend of his, and had gotten thrown off.. So here I go, rushing 50 miles to the hospital, in a frenzy.. Thank the good Lord above, he suffered a broken clavicle, and some pretty good scrapes and bruises.. He had his helmet on, or it could have been a LOT worse.. I’ll take a broken bone and some scrapes, over a coffin anyday… Needless to say, he’s in some pretty horrible pain, but he’s breathing and that’s the most important thing.. I didn’t get home until 5:30 am, so I have to go and finish stripping/waxing those floors today, before the office re-opens tomorrow.. Pray that I can hold up, and that my son will recover without too much pain.. Thanks everyone, for everything you do.. I love ya’ll.. *HUGS*
Justme, Thank the Lord he’s ok. Bones can mend. Thank God he had on his helmet. My prayers are with him. and you. Try to get some rest if possible. Hugs
Justme! Thank goodness only a broken leg is right.
I hope he feels better, soon!
justmee,sorry to hear about your son,thank lord,he have only a broken leg,it can be worst!
Just Hope you are going to rest tonight, so sorry it sometimes seems it never ends with kids…our thoughts and prayers for morphine for your son and some uninterrupted rest for you!!! His shoulder and neck will be sore, but he will be fine Im sure!!!
Just…sorry to hear about your son. I HATE 4 wheelers. A friend of ours had one that he kept at our farm and he came and got it last week. I was soooo relieved. I’ve heard of too many horrible accidents on them. We used to have a 3 wheeler YEARS ago when I was younger and dumber and they were even more dangerous but loved spending Sunday afternoon on the trails in Livingston…do you know where that is? We flipped it once (my husband and I on it) and I thought my back was broken, but dummy me got back on. Fortunately we were never seriously hurt on it but we had plenty of scrapes and bruises. We did however, see more than one person taken from the trails on a stretcher.
Just
Wow…..glad it was not worse!My son broke his colar bone also in a motorcycle accident last year, its very painful.It took a long time to heal, couldnt sleep or get compfortable at all.But your right, some road rash and being busted up is a lot better than the alternitive, his best friend died in a motorcycle accident this year.We were lucky.Take care just, and a speedy recovery to your son ♥♥♥
I am soo saddened to hear about your son, justme… but, you are right thank God , it wasnt worse… It cuts to the quick to hear of ANY problem with our children, but when they are in pain, it is really bad…
marsha, I know all about livingston being a mecca for 3 and 4 wheelers!!! I pulled off at that exit a couple times on sundays and wow, they are everywhere…. and I later learned it is the place to go for these vehicles.. I would be too scared to go on a trail.. I will think of you everytime I go past livinston now…

The Coast Guard began searching for the boat in the Gulf of Mexico and broadcast a BOLO on the marine emergency channel every hour.

Oh I didn’t know they were seeking the death penalty
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The estranged daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton was in an Orange County courtroom Wednesday.
Amanda Brumfield is accused of killing her goddaughter while babysitting the child in October 2008.
The 29-year-old initially told investigators the girl fell from her playpen.
An autopsy revealed injuries consistent with something as severe as a car crash.
The state is seeking the death penalty.
ss Thank you.
why in Gods name are they seeking the death penalty…she had a accident…and lied how the child died….to me this is not a death penalty case….Casey Anthony should be the poster person for DP
ss,she had a car accident?? Is that what the girl is now claiming??? I dont know..this sounds very fishy to me.. what DOES sound as consistant as a severe car accident,to me, would be a beating, blunt force trauma , shaking, or throwing..
unless , there actually was a provable “severe car accident”, I am thinking this was not an accident.
Here is what I just found:
Brumfield told investigators the infant, Olivia Garcia, died on Oct. 3 after tumbling head-first out of her playpen.
Savanna and Maxi,(hi)
No she beat her so bad it fractured the baby’s scull and caused brain damage the autopsy was ruled homicide.I think that article above was just trying to make a comparison on how bad the injurys were but wasn’t very clear, sorry!
Vote for Syndy!

Tiger Woods’ Wife Seen Leaving Hospital
Rescuers Respond To Early-Morning Call At Woods’ Home
http://www.wesh.com/sports/21894356/detail.html
Video from the hospital showed a middle-aged woman being removed from an ambulance on a stretcher and taken through an emergency entrance.
Health Central is the same hospital where Woods was taken after his crash on Nov. 27.
OK, so an ambulance shows up at the Woods house, takes Elin’s mom to the hospital, but Elin doesn’t live there anymore [according to the news reports]! So why would Elin’s mom be staying at the Woods house if Elin isn’t there! Makes you wonder if she DID move out…or is the rumor mill flowing?
I just read where she was staying in “one ” of tigers home in the area.. and I also read that she had had dinner with daughter elin and elin’s twin sister!!!! I never knew that she had a twin sister..oh well.. I bet it was a house in the same neighborhood.
I think if you beat a baby so bad its skull is cracked and it dies.. you deserve death penalty.. I dont care if she is billy bobs’ daughter.. it was her goddaughter,, if she didnt want to be around a baby , just say no, I cant watch her….
Maxi, I didn’t know that Elin had a twin either…..
Here is a pic of the 2:

Newlywed Dalia Dippolito appeared to be inconsolable when police told her Wednesday morning that her husband, Michael Dippolito, had been murdered. But it was a huge act, and Dalia had unknowingly hired an undercover officer as a hit man to kill her husband. Watch the video of Dalia Dippolito below!
