This is for Caylee's mother's lawyer:

Lawyers and Alligators
        Two alligators are sitting on the edge of a swamp. The small one turns to the big one and says, "I don't understand how you can be so much bigger than I am. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids... I just don't get it."
        "Well," says the big alligator, "what have you been eating?"
         "Lawyers, same as you," replies the small alligator.
        "Hmm. Well, where do you catch 'em?"
        "Down at that law firm on the edge of the swamp."
        "Same here. Hmm. How do you catch 'em?"
        "Well, I crawl under a BMW and wait for someone to unlock the door. Then I jump out, bite 'em, shake the crap out of 'em, and eat 'em!"
        "Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. See, by the time you get done shakin' the crap out of a lawyer, there's nothing left but lips and a briefcase..."

Yes..she's my yorkie..we have two..and she doesnt have allergies, but my male does...he always has...he is especially sensitive to everything....mostly skin allergies..but he tends to cough after flea treatment and heart worm treatment....
we had another yorkie that went into anaphalactic shock due to a bee sting..seems the males are worse than the females....
My female has the most precious personality...and no allergies..
Do you have yorkies?

Doggies? I was always a cat person until I got an Italian Greyhound a couple of years ago. I love doggies, well, mine anyway. And the cats still make it interesting.

Bringing this over from Clinton's thread...Re TES...

Carolyn is asking for volunteers to help with the new search for Clinton and for Donations for TES. Princeton is about 20 miles east of Shreveport, LA.

Link to Clinton's thread if anyone can help.

Hey Everyone, I wanted to let you know that I just got off of the phone with Texas Equu Search.  The are planning another search for November 7-9 in Princeton LA.  We desperately need volunteers.  We will be searching the area between Ward Lane and Princeton Road.  This is an area that has been searched before but law enforcement wants it searched again.  There is also a pond that we want searched. 

Please say prayers for operating funds for TES.  They are really struggling right now.

Thanks
Carolyn



TES was affected by hurricane Ike and if I heard correctly are also going back to search for Caylee.


Texas EquuSearch can now receive donations from credit cards by using the Network for Good website. If you would prefer not to donate online using a credit card, please feel free to mail your donation to:

You are not a bad monkey at all! You're a very good monkey.

Would email me sometime please at sockmonkey_mom@yahoo.com

I'm pretty sure it will be. The judge decides. The media will want it, and I think Baez will too..he's trying to get famous off of this case. But so far he doesn't seem impressive as a lawyer. In fact he seems pretty bad with some of the statements he's made, and mistakes filing motions.

Maybe the Anthony Insanity is contagious.  I think they've made half the country nuts.  Don't think many lawyers have ever seen the likes of them, or LE.

Mammy, thanks for asking.

My little guy is 3 years old. He's been potty trained for about 5 months now. He spent Saturday with his other grandma, who is an absolute idiot. She put him on her adult toilet, with no child seat and freakin' left him there alone!!!! Consequently, he fell into the toilet and it terrified him. She never told anyone. He got so terrified, he held it in when he had to go from then on. Now, he hasn't had a bowel movement since last Friday. He has a stool blockage and is in horrid discomfort. He has had every type of laxative imaginable as well as 1 enema.

My Daughter just called the pediatrician who now wants an abdominal Xray to rule out an obstruction. My personal opinion is, they will probably have to manually disimpact this poor baby. I'm just sick over this. If you could hear how pitiful he is, you would cry. I sure have.

Say a prayer please. I just don't want this to turn into something bigger.

I have an x dil that was stupid when my grson was 2 and almost died from apendicitis.

I'm not, but have done lots of research as my hubby has been ill for a few yrs now.  He has HepC from a blood transfusion.  His condition is not good.

Let me know what you find out from the pediatrician.  I don't understand why people have to be so ignorant, especially when they have raised children of their own!

Double congratulations Dolce! How exciting. Make sure you post the sonograms!

It's all over with my grandson. Thank God. I left at 9:30 this morning to go with my daughter and him to the pediatrician. We then had to take him for an abdominal Xray.  It showed severe impaction but no bowel obstruction. Took him home and had to do another enema. Dear Lord, it was like the flood gates opened! He is now cleaned out and feeling much better.

Thanks everyone for your prayers. They do work.

hey mytime!! What was your question about doggies?

Is that your yorkie?  Do you have any problems with allergies?

Yes..she's my yorkie..we have two..and she doesnt have allergies, but my male does...he always has...he is especially sensitive to everything....mostly skin allergies..but he tends to cough after flea treatment and heart worm treatment....
we had another yorkie that went into anaphalactic shock due to a bee sting..seems the males are worse than the females....
My female has the most precious personality...and no allergies..
Do you have yorkies?

Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier.  Yes, I have 5 Yorkies -  2 males and 3 girls. My oldest is a 13yr old male.  All my dogs have the sweetest personalities.  I just love them like children. 

I had bought one of them for my mother and when my mother became very ill, we decided it would be best if I took care of Lady.  She was only 8 months old and she loved being at my house with my dogs and we would visit my mother all the time but she knew when it was time to come home!

Anyway, at the age of 3 she developed severe skin allergies.  I have done everything. Vet, after Vet, changed food, etc.  I finally took her to a Vet Dermatologist.  She tested
4 (4 being the highest) across the board.  She is allergic to every tree, weed, grass, etc., known to man. The vet couldn't believe it because I had been giving her benadryl and she thought it may interfer with the tests.

Thousands of dollars later, special shampoos, medicines, sprays, etc. she is not much better.  My heart breaks for her and I do not know what do.  At times, I feel like she is suffering and other times she is as playful as before.

I bought her from a reputable breeder to avoid these problems.  None of my others dogs have any allergies.  She was originally from MA and they moved to Florida to be near me.  Apparently, Florida has big problems with allergies because of the type of grass we have here and because of the moisture!

Do you have any suggestions?  What do you do for your little guy?  I feel so bad for her, at times she doesn't even want us to touch her!!  Other times, she doesn't want us to be her put down - which makes one my other girls very jealous. LOL  My girls are all pretty demanding.  My baby is a 3lb boy and he is just so so sweet. 

If you any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks, mytime

Hey MT..My vet told us  to do special food for allergies..but it sounds like you already did that!!
We do oatmeal baths..and no fragrances, etc....They can also give your baby a shot, just like they would us to curb her symptoms.
Also, my male is allergic to fleas...when he gets even ONE flea, he scrathces like no tomorrow...So, we use frontline....it seems to work the best..
His fur is also oily..so we use a degreaser on him when we have him groomed and that helps..
But, I just buy Aveeno oatmeal bath..its used for humans, but I use it on him...and i let the oatmeal soak into his skin, and then i rinse him really well...it helps him too..

I wish I could help more!!!!


Title: Re: Monkey Musings Daily Open Discussion #12 10/04 -
Post by: mytime on October 10, 2008, 02:13:35 PM
Tried oatmeal, tried Aveena, now have a medicated shampoo from the vet!  The prednisone shots do not work on her, plus it makes her go to the bathroom non stop!


For your guy, they have a new flea pill out that lasts up to 30 days.  I believe it is called comfortis? sold by vets only.  It is not cheap but works great.  Frontline does not work on my dogs at all!!  I had to use advantage.  My vet told me to switch on and off.  Also, for the itch, Selsun Blue is great!  My vet told me about it and it does help.  Leave it on for 10 minutes and real real good.  Do nut use conditioner.  It is very drying so it may help with the oily hair too.

I wish her problem was fleas but no such luck.  She is my problem child! LOL
A while back, she blew out her knee.  We have no idea how she did it.  My vet said it like football knee and it can happened to any breed.  It was the toughest six week recovery.  No sleep at all!!

Do you have yorkies?

Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier.  Yes, I have 5 Yorkies -  2 males and 3 girls. My oldest is a 13yr old male.  All my dogs have the sweetest personalities.  I just love them like children. 

I had bought one of them for my mother and when my mother became very ill, we decided it would be best if I took care of Lady.  She was only 8 months old and she loved being at my house with my dogs and we would visit my mother all the time but she knew when it was time to come home!

Anyway, at the age of 3 she developed severe skin allergies.  I have done everything. Vet, after Vet, changed food, etc.  I finally took her to a Vet Dermatologist.  She tested
4 (4 being the highest) across the board.  She is allergic to every tree, weed, grass, etc., known to man. The vet couldn't believe it because I had been giving her benadryl and she thought it may interfer with the tests.

Thousands of dollars later, special shampoos, medicines, sprays, etc. she is not much better.  My heart breaks for her and I do not know what do.  At times, I feel like she is suffering and other times she is as playful as before.

I bought her from a reputable breeder to avoid these problems.  None of my others dogs have any allergies.  She was originally from MA and they moved to Florida to be near me.  Apparently, Florida has big problems with allergies because of the type of grass we have here and because of the moisture!

Do you have any suggestions?  What do you do for your little guy?  I feel so bad for her, at times she doesn't even want us to touch her!!  Other times, she doesn't want us to be her put down - which makes one my other girls very jealous. LOL  My girls are all pretty demanding.  My baby is a 3lb boy and he is just so so sweet. 

If you any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks, mytime
mytime, why not just keep her indoors?  I have miniature yorkies and they are all indoor dogs.  They only are allowed to go out on the deck.  The main reason for this is because we live in the country and there are a lot of predators around here that could nab any one of them at any time (fox, hawks, etc.)

Double congratulations Dolce! How exciting. Make sure you post the sonograms!

It's all over with my grandson. Thank God. I left at 9:30 this morning to go with my daughter and him to the pediatrician. We then had to take him for an abdominal Xray.  It showed severe impaction but no bowel obstruction. Took him home and had to do another enema. Dear Lord, it was like the flood gates opened! He is now cleaned out and feeling much better.

Thanks everyone for your prayers. They do work.

That is great, Mrsk.  That must have been so painful.  What a relief.  We take every day body functions for granted.

You are such a kind and loving Grandmom, you make my heart swell every time you post about your family.  Everyone should know at least one person like you in their lifetime.

Ok, thanks for the laughs!  Boy did I need it after the maggots, bones, decomposition and then the missing glasses!  It was a stressful day in the cage!
Gee maybe I did miss stuff today....you gave laughs too! It was fun.
Time for monkey sleep, goodnight MT, MM

I live in southeastern Tennessee, right on the border with Alabama and Georgia. The temperatures are still reaching into the 80s everyday (which is unusually warm for October), and my dogwood trees are starting to bloom.  ::MonkeyEek::

I got this in an email from my daughter and wanted to share it with you. She signed it from my grandson. LOL!

THE COMPUTER SWALLOWED GRANNY


.....by Valerie Waite **



The computer swallowed grandma.
Yes, honestly it's true.
She pressed 'control' and 'enter'
And disappeared from view.
It devoured her completely,
The thought just makes me squirm.
She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind;
I've even used the Internet,
But nothing did I find.

In desperation, I asked Jeeves
My searches to refine.
The reply from him was negative,
Not a thing was found 'online'.
   
So, if inside your Inbox
my Grandma you should see,
Please scan, copy and paste her
in an e.mail back to me!

I think CSI left, I feel bad. 

Hope her feelings were not hurt!!!


I'm still here. I am going through some posts here. Why would my feelings be hurt?? Trust me guys. I have VERY thick skin. I have been through so many things over a lifetime, I don't think my feelings can get hurt!!! I do wonder if Kristen has shared some of my thoughts with you MT and MM about what I was talking about.

See MM and Kristin!  I didn't do anything!! Oh yes, we are in agreement with all your theories!!  Oh yes indeedy!!

Okay, good. Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page!

Hi CBB  (and everyone else)

So you're a fan of the Tudor period as well? I've always been somewhat fascinated by Henry VIII, but after The Tudors came out on Showtime, it became somewhat of an obsession.  Most of my xmas presents last year were Henry related.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

ANOTHERMONKEY!

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH AN AUTHOR BY THE NAME OF SHARON KAY PENMAN?

She is an awesome author and has researched her works so well that history has been added to due to her efforts. I first read, "Sunne in Splendour", and then the Welsh Trilogy, "Here Be Dragons" (1985), "Falls The Shadow"(1988), and "The Reckoning"

Oh they are WONDERFUL and soooo well written! She is a master of character development and all were real page turners!!! I HIGHLY recommend these books and author!

Hi CBB  (and everyone else)

So you're a fan of the Tudor period as well? I've always been somewhat fascinated by Henry VIII, but after The Tudors came out on Showtime, it became somewhat of an obsession.  Most of my xmas presents last year were Henry related.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

I am, and I also watched Showtime's The Tudors. Oh, anothermonkey, you would LOVE these books! They are compelling, and have some of the most powerful love story threads I've ever read!

I haven't heard of her books, I don't think . I will have to check them out at the library. Thanks for the recommendation! They look very interesting. :)

I had a really good link to share with you, but apparently the girl no longer has her site up  ::MonkeyWaa::  It was an historical fiction site, where she would read a book and give a review.. all kinds of stories, about Henry VIII, Marie Antoinette, Jane Eyre, and so on. 


Actually, this is funny.. I was in the thrift store looking around in the book section, when I found "The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette" by Carolly Erickson.  It's fiction of course, but then I saw she had a book about one of Henry's wives: The Last Wife of Henry VIII: A Novel.  This was probably right in between the first and second season of The Tudors.  I then started reading some non-fiction by Alison Weir- if you like non-fiction, those are GREAT! They are big reads, but they actually read more like stories, IMO.  Very good!  I like reading all about court life. It's fascinating!

After I started reading on the subject, I had to go back and watch the entire first season of the show again.. that's when I figured out fact from fiction. 

Did you know that Joss Stone is going to play Anne of Cleves in the next season?  ::MonkeyEek::

Hey jrzgrl,

Here is the social security death index.  It is a free search and if you are able to locate your family member, copies of records can be ordered from here.....for a fee.  But the search is free.

I do lots of genealogy research so I can give you a few other links for genealogy sites if you want them.  Let me know.

Pa. town allows pole dancing studio to open

Associated Press
Oct. 15, 2008, 10:19AM
PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh suburb will allow a pole dancing studio to open, ending a federal lawsuit that accused the town of violating the First Amendment rights of the owner.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the suit in August on behalf of 30-year-old Stephanie Babines. She wanted to open the studio in Adams Township, but officials said no. The town argued it was a sexually oriented business.

Babines' classes include pole-dancing, power lap dance, strip tease and "SeXXXercise." Everyone has their clothes on during the training.

Ok, I am sorry, Mods please feel free to delete this if it is too over the top...but I have to get this off my chest as its been bugging the heck out of me for the past week.

The Caylee forum is not a place to bash fellow posters, make underlined comments towards other posters, or call someone out in such a rude fashion that they feel like never posting again.  Over the past week that has been all that I have seen scattered about each single page, to the point that I hate reading back now, not because of the O/T discussion but rather due to the negativity that sprouts in the words of some posters.  There are ways to kindly disagree and argue, and there are some posters on here who do not seem to know tact..and they just keep on and keep on pushing it. 

Caylee's thread is for Justice for Caylee.  I understand that O/T does occur, and that is tollerated to a point by the mods, heck I do it myself quite often because if I didnt laugh a little I might as well lock myself in my clothset and cry all day.  Emotions are strong on this case, and a lot of people read and watch this forum...what a bunch of idiots we look like turning and biting our own kind for having another perspective.

That is all..I am done.  Had to get that out other wise I might go off on someone out of rage and get the button.

I posted in the Musing Thread, doubtfull many will read, but still sorry Klaas delete if nessessary.

'Long-Lost Relative' Scam Targets Central Floridians; Residents Warned

POSTED: 7:48 pm EDT October 18, 2008
UPDATED: 8:41 pm EDT October 18, 2008


MARION COUNTY, Fla., -- A scam alert was issued over the weekend after scammers posing as long-lost relatives were able to steal money from Central Floridians.

Detectives said the thieves are pretending to be family relatives and asking for cash to get them or someone else out of a problem situation.

Usually, the bogus relatives claim they are in Canada and that money should be immediately wired to a location.

A Central Florida resident wired $2,000 in the latest reported incident of the scam.

A Casselberry family also lost money to the scam, police said. The family thought their grandson asked them for more than $4,000 so he could get out of jail in Canada.

Police said the grandson was actually at home in Oviedo.

Anyone with information concerning the scam is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

It’s time to clear the air about getting ductwork cleaned
Evidence of benefits of HVAC system cleansing are inconclusive.

http://www.ajc.com/services/content/homefinder/stories/2008/10/19/inspector.html
n the past couple of weeks we have experienced our first taste of fall and cooler temperatures. With nighttime temperatures dropping into the 50s, some people are beginning to use heating systems.

It is also the time of year that we begin to see advertisements recommending cleaning of the heating system ducts. Especially with growing concerns about mold and other indoor air contaminants, cleaning of ducts seems to be a no-brainer. But is it really worth the cost?

Unfortunately, there is not a yes or no answer to this question. (snipped)

Florida residents have to show proof of residence.  What I did when I lived in NY is went to a timeshare meeting and they gave us free tickets.

Went on vacation in mid 80's. My Mom met a Dutchman who lived there when he was on a trip to the states. He helped me get a work permit and I moved down. I loved it there, met all kinds of interesting people and life long friends.

I just hope people understand I can't boycott Aruba, because then I don't get to see my friends. You know that bad things have happend in jamaica, but that doesn't make everyone bad. I believe Aruba has been taken over by foreigners and have changed it for the worse. Aruba, in it's day was such a great place. Everyone dressed up to go out at night. Doors were always open. Just a different place. I have walked, as a young woman, through the streets downtown to my car and never felt afraid.

I am sure no one would hold that against you....Aruba is not bad....it's the people in control....and we do feel badly for the 'regular people' in Aruba....the ones who are just going about daily living. Jamaica really got a bad rap for many years...some was well deserved...other wasn't and I think that is true of so many places...including some right here in the USA...when people were saying to me aren't you afraid to live and work in Jamaica I looked  them in the eye and said NO! Believe me I saw tourists do things in Jamaica that if they even thought about doing them in the USA would be jailed or beaten by mobs...yet they would come to Jamaica and do those things and expect it to be OK. I went places that tourists could never go...was welcomed and protected. I went all over and a couple times I go into areas that I really shouldn't have been...and strangely enough someone, a local, always seemed to help me out.....even if it just meant walking me out of an area I shouldn't have strayed into. Naw you don't even worry about it.

I think maybe Destiny is upset at the response she got from fellow Monkeys when she posted Lee's telephone recording. I think a few even felt he was valid in his being"fed-up" with public
harassment. I personally feel he deserves everything he gets and more.

Destiny you know you are the supreme ringy dinger and no one can replace you?

I had to go back several pages in Caylee's thread to see why Des would be so upset as to want to leave..  nothing really stood out, unless she was upset about somebody questioning everyone calling Lee? I don't know.. I sure hope that's not why.

Des- you're the chick who gets things done around here (ok, well one of many LOL). You're an integral part of this board. You make things happen.  You stick your neck out, and do things others are hesitant to do.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I hope you stay!  ::MonkeyWink::

I do...and am having a hard time with it right now..
So, I just wanted to chat..share fears and experiences..see if maybe we could help each other...such a good group of folks here!

Hi Nikkibnurse,

I just stepped over to this section to see what was what.  Anxiety disorders actually run in my family.  My sis and I are the ones most affected.  Years ago she was moderator for a forum.  I will check to see if it is still active, but it has helped so many with its honesty and information.

I think highly of all the monkeys and would hate to lose any you all do such great work each has their own strengths and wonderful souls.

Please do not go.  Caylee needs justice, she needs you.  You have a special gift that has helped this little girl more than you will ever know. 

You are a hero in every sense of the word.  You do things, that others (and by this I do mean me) wish we could do. With today and calling Lee?  WOW!!! I would have never thought of that. Kudos to you for doing so.

So please, for Caylee, stay.

I was worried that my joke was taken wrong.  But then, I took a deep breath - looked at her latest posts and I think she was upset because she wanted to post a fellow members web link as appreciation for the heartfelt gift that member sent her.  I take it from the red ink, the link was removed and it was a matter of the heart - not necessarily logic (understanding mods/admin try to protect our identity)that caused her reaction. 
Des - breathe baby.  I am new, but you are really overloading your plate.  You know your monkeys - even the ones with the red crayon adore you.  See you soon - no negotiations or we will call LP and get your number! LOL (JK - I would never violate you - but I hope it made you smile.)

So much goes over my head so I have to admit that I haven't a clue what went wrong here.  I only know that you are so kind to all of us that you NEED to let us show our kindness and gratitude right back to you.  Sweetie, I am at a complete loss!!!!!! :smt022 :smt022 :smt022 :smt022 :smt022 :smt022

Nikkinurse was just catching up and saw your post. Shasta is correct anxiety disorder does tend to run in families. My daughter has it and my mother have it. My daughter seems to be much better with hers at this time and is not any medication. My mother tends to prefer 'tranquilizers'(she is 86) and she is not on those as they are habit forming and physically addicting.

I have 3 recommendations, but somehow feel you may have already tried them. #1 is cognitive therapy, reasoning through the situation. #2 deep breathing and relaxation training #3 SSRI's work wonders.

I know how tough it is when simple things are difficult, and most just don't understand.

According to Destiny I am the problem.  It has to do with something that happened in Destiny's thread in the lounge.  That's all I'll say.

This thread has become very interesting to me. I am surprised at how many "newbies" have joined Scared Monkeys since I last visited. I have no clue what the Destiny business is about, but I sure hate to see you all begging someone to come back. If Destiny left, I would guess it's because she doesn't want to be here.

Ok, I am sorry, Mods please feel free to delete this if it is too over the top...but I have to get this off my chest as its been bugging the heck out of me for the past week.

The Caylee forum is not a place to bash fellow posters, make underlined comments towards other posters, or call someone out in such a rude fashion that they feel like never posting again.  Over the past week that has been all that I have seen scattered about each single page, to the point that I hate reading back now, not because of the O/T discussion but rather due to the negativity that sprouts in the words of some posters.  There are ways to kindly disagree and argue, and there are some posters on here who do not seem to know tact..and they just keep on and keep on pushing it. 

Caylee's thread is for Justice for Caylee.  I understand that O/T does occur, and that is tollerated to a point by the mods, heck I do it myself quite often because if I didnt laugh a little I might as well lock myself in my clothset and cry all day.  Emotions are strong on this case, and a lot of people read and watch this forum...what a bunch of idiots we look like turning and biting our own kind for having another perspective.

That is all..I am done.  Had to get that out other wise I might go off on someone out of rage and get the button.

I posted in the Musing Thread, doubtfull many will read, but still sorry Klaas delete if nessessary. 


Why delete? You posted the truth Dolce. Some here do not like opinions that differ from their own. NO ONE...likes to be called a liar. Or have your statements in your  posts embellished to the point that they are making statements that weren't made. And even making comments about a poster identity (multipliable ones at that) even though they know nothing about that person.

Dolce...I think many posters here should read your post more than once to get the full meaning. Then maybe...just maybe, they'll think twice before making some rude and condescending remark about another monkey here.

Once upon a time, there was a board called "Scared Monkeys - A Civil Place to Chat."  That was in June 2005. I only recently noticed that Red took that banner down. I don't know why he did that but I can only conclude it was because he no longer wants this board to be a civil place to chat ... as evidenced by your post referring to rude posters.

Des,
I hope you change your mind.  I could tell by your posts that you have a genuine heart for people who are lost, lonely, hurting, missing or dealing with someone who is.  I know you are experiencing a lot of emotions with the passing of your dear mom/aunt.  I hope you know that I will miss you for more than just "your scoops", as I am sure many others will.  I wish you well and hope to see you again when things get better.

((((hugs))))

I think that the very situation in which we are all brought together causes all of our emotions to run high.  I admit that I sometimes am quick to anger at posters whom I think are only here to stir the pot.  It's interesting enough that when I see someone being confrontational, I usually look at their post history.  It is easy to tell who is here for different reasons.

There are some posters who just rub me the wrong way and I'm certain I do the same to others.  The board can sometimes appear cliquish but that's just like real life, IMO.  I'm not here to impress people with my knowledge, abilities, or social status.  I don't have insider information, know any of the players, or even live in Florida.  The only thing I do have is a heart for little children, a hatred of evil, and a hope that even if it is in some little, insignificant way, I can do something. 

I have donated to TES and will do so as often as I can.  I pray for justice, and I hold out hope.  In the meantime, I offer my ideas and suggestions as to why I agree with other posters, or why I do not.  Hopefully justice will come for Caylee Anthony in spite of all the odds against it.  Her own family being the biggest obstacles to justice is disgraceful.  I do hope they all are held accountable when all is said and done.

Klaas (and all the Mods) has one of the most difficult jobs I could imagine....especially as a volunteer!! Klaas made a judgement call...which BTW I feel was the right call...she was protecting a member's personal information that was posted by another member...(even though there was no malicious intent by posting the  website)...once the member gave permission that his/her website (which is loaded with personal information) was OK to post....Klass allowed the web address!  Good grief ...I think any of us would be more than grateful that Klaas has our privacy as a priority. I have seen people come and go....let their ego's get in the way of understanding..use SM as their personal forum....I hope that Destiny will think the entire situation over and continue to post on SM....but it is her choice. She will be missed....just as I miss many of the original monkeys who for what ever reason no longer post...  IMO EVERY person that comes to SM is an asset until/unless they prove themselves differently. no one poster is any more imporant than another.....some have talents that enhance their contribution...Klass and the other Mods do a terrific job of dealing with a multitude of personalities and egos...I admire all of them for their ability to be unbiased and make decisons based on logic and a sense of playing fair.... someone has to be the final decision maker and we all need to respect that position and that person...whether we agree or not...we still need to respect those decisions.

LV - if you have a problem with what Red does or doesn't have as a board topic you really should take it up with RED. But to ASSUME what you think is what Red wants or doesn't want is RUDE and uncalled for and antagonistic!! ...I am NOT going to get into an argument with you..you have a right to your opinion but please don't come on and try to start trouble...it will not be tolerated especially by us long time SM'ers

It is unfortunate to see a gifted monkey go.  I do not know all the circumstances surrounding the loss, nor is it my place to.  I have faith in our mods to keep each one of us safe on this blog especially in todays high tech world of fraud and theft. 
I hope that all monkeys remember that regardless of like or dislike of a fellow monkey or mod we are all here for a much greater purpose, today it is Natalee and Caylee for most of us, but tomorrow it will be someone elses child. 
For the most part we are all adults and I fully respect each and every monkey, and will continue to treat each one of you with the same respect that I wish to be treated.  I hope that everyone continues to post in search of justice for Natalee, Caylee, and every missing child.  Lord willing with enough people out there, including a blog of monkeys, we may one day be enough of a threat to cause a preditor to think twice before committing the act.

Thank you Mr. Cult.  Everyone has the right to his or her opinon, and being a forum of opinions/theories/speculation everyone has the oportunity to share.  We are all adults here and I would hope that everyone would treat each other with the same respect that they too would want to have shown to them. 
If someone infuriates you...its easy to just walk away from a computer or count to 10 prior to posting.  Its a drop in the bucket, and like everything else in life opinions/theories/speculation can change.

According to Destiny I am the problem.  It has to do with something that happened in Destiny's thread in the lounge.  That's all I'll say.

Nuff said. For any and all posters, I have a word or two to say. 

Ask yourself the last time you spent a little time on SM and Klaas wasn't here. In my considerable time over years here, I can tell you that I have witnessed Klaas create a virtual encyclopedia of facts and data bases on gut wrenching cases, archives of poster e-mail addys, avatars, whimsical buses, airplanes, and buses and all for one purpose. Those efforts are made so that the casual poster can jump in and have all of that available. Those efforts are made to make the SM experience easier and more accessable to those who come here. Those efforts are made to make this a place that is a good place to be. Those efforts are made on OUR behalf.

As far as any poster having a problem with Klaas, I would suggest looking closely in the mirror so that you can attempt to remove the log in your own eye. You'll see better to remove the splinter in other's.

Klaas is not the problem. Thank you Klaas for incredible sacrifice on our behalf and for your impeccable judgement.

My hubs believes the answer to any dinner is BBQ sauce..LOL

He has his degree from Johnson and Whales Culinary University (he is a Chef by school) but does not do it in his profession now, he is a self made business owner.

He comes up with some pretty delicious mixes for dinner, and health conscious. 
If you have small children I have some pretty great fun recipe ideas I can send your way, as well as some great ideas for dinner for 2.  :)

Hey guys....I know t his isnt a happy subject, but I just wante dto ask..are there any monkeys out there that suffer from anxiety disorder?

I do...and am having a hard time with it right now..
So, I just wanted to chat..share fears and experiences..see if maybe we could help each other...such a good group of folks here!

Oh sweet Nikki,you sure have your hands full right now.I don't know much about this but I do have a friend that has it.She went to the grocery store one day and was just shopping.She had her buggy full and suddenly out of the blue she got hot and sweaty and a real feeling of panic came over her.She left the buggy and went straight home.The doctor put her on Zoloft and it helped immensly.It took awhile before it did but now she is much better.She was even unable to drive because of it for a long time.I'm so sorry things are so hard for you now.I've got you and your daughter on my prayer list..(http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj310/Tot5658/calin.gif)

She was named Pearl due to the large pearl sized dot she has in the middle of her forehead, along with freckly ears.  She is very sweet and is the baby of my other 2.

Reason to proofread
To:

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years before. Because of hectic
schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.
So, the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Thursday,
with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel, and unlike years ago, there was a
computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address,
and without noticing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile...somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from
her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory
after suffering a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email,
expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the
first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor,
And they glanced up and saw the computer screen which read:



To: My Loving Wife

Date: Thursday, October 13, 2004

Subject: I have arrived!



Dearest Love:

I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here
now, and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I have
just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow, and look forward to seeing you
then.
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
PS Sure is freaking hot down here!

Well just got off the phone I was told his arteries and ventricles are switched which is really rare IIRC usually only the arteries are switched..

My head is spinning from all the info...I am not sure how a pace maker works but he already has wires if he needs one??Not sure how that works..

He is hooked up to SOO MANY tubes and is doing ok...

His mother almost passed out when she first seen him..

There were lots of small babies there too getting open heart surgery...

Also found out my DH uncle(he is 45) was admitted to the hospital he was having chest pains..Hospital gave him a stress test found nothing sent him home!!!
He got real bad went back to the hospital they found blockage of an artery however he didnt need to have open heart surgery they got it open with a stent it was over 90% blocked....They said he is lucky to not have had a massive heart attack..

UGH!!Did I mention DH just "lost his job"..Well he was put "on call" which means he is lucky to work 1 day a month we are basically 1 month from having to move in with family because things are so bad...

My town is soooo bad off economically right now its almost impossible to find a job...

STRESS!  ::MonkeyWaa::  ::MonkeyWaa::

Misitx, Thanks for keeping us updated on your tiny cousin. It does appear his birth defect was even more complicated than my nephews.

Sorry to hear about your hubby's job. Can he draw unemployment ? Jobs are so scarce right now with the way our economy is going. It is goiing to be some tough times for a lot of folks.

I can't give you any better advice than what Invision gave. I too will keep you in my prayers.

There were lots of small babies there too getting open heart surgery...

Also found out my DH uncle(he is 45) was admitted to the hospital he was having chest pains..Hospital gave him a stress test found nothing sent him home!!!
He got real bad went back to the hospital they found blockage of an artery however he didnt need to have open heart surgery they got it open with a stent it was over 90% blocked....They said he is lucky to not have had a massive heart attack..

UGH!!Did I mention DH just "lost his job"..Well he was put "on call" which means he is lucky to work 1 day a month we are basically 1 month from having to move in with family because things are so bad...

My town is soooo bad off economically right now its almost impossible to find a job...

STRESS!  ::MonkeyWaa::  ::MonkeyWaa::

Misi - Hang in there!  Big Hugs to YOU!  ... Remember, it does no good to stress yourself out about things that you have no control over ... do what you can to keep your stress level to a minimum to keep yourself healthy!  Keep the faith that everything is in "Divine Order" and that you will have the strength to see every situation through ....  Challenges are not necessarily your enemy ... they allow us to dig deep inside ourselves and see what we are made of and perhaps what we have to offer to others ... I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers ...

Thank You Invision and Sam!

I know I must keep my head up sometimes its so hard..We will manage we always do..DH cannot collect unemployment but at least we have somewhere to go if need be...

It just always seems to be something...

Thanks so much for letting me vent sometimes thats all that I need ~~someone to listen to me~~

INVISION you are such a sweet monkey!!!

Monkeys....keep the faith in you and others you can get through this.   I asked my 94 1/2 mom how she got through WW!,the Depression, WW! et al....she said  "We didn't have television" Asked what she meant.."Don't have to see it over and over; it's bad for you (as an adult) and children.

Keep loving, talk things over with each other, take pictures, know there are those who have more than and less than you

You are here now at the stage in life and you know it wasn't always easy. Maybe the coming might be more humble times.... but you have it in you to know how to get back to where you are now and even better because you have done it before and can learn from all the good things that got you and learn from the mistakes then grow and go for whatever it will be in a few months. If you aren't healthy, then you can answer to door when opportunity knocks.

Coffee 'shrinks women's breasts'    ::MonkeyEek:: ::MonkeyEek::

Last Update: 10/23 12:26 pm
Scientists have discovered that drinking just three cups of coffee a day can make women's breasts shrink.

According to Swedish researchers who surveyed nearly 300 women, three cups a day was enough to start making breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup drunk.

Experts say there is a clear link between drinking coffee and smaller breasts as around half of all women possess a gene that has been shown to link breast size to coffee intake.

"Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size. Coffee-drinking women do not have to worry their breasts will shrink to nothing overnight. They will get smaller, but the breasts aren't just going to disappear," says Helena Jernstroem, a lecturer in experimental oncology at Lund University in Sweden

Reason to proofread
To:

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years before. Because of hectic
schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.
So, the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Thursday,
with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel, and unlike years ago, there was a
computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address,
and without noticing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile...somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from
her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory
after suffering a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email,
expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the
first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor,
And they glanced up and saw the computer screen which read:



To: My Loving Wife

Date: Thursday, October 13, 2004

Subject: I have arrived!



Dearest Love:

I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here
now, and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I have
just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow, and look forward to seeing you
then.
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
PS Sure is freaking hot down here!

I think that may have happened to me. I love my coffee. Maybe while it was shrinking
 the top it was all going to my bottom. LOL

You monkeys are amazing...

Last night I admit I had a couple drinks and started thinking...

My husband and I have been through a lot of ups and downs and then I realized---

Even at our hardest moment ,losing his mother COMPLETELY UNEXPECTEDLY, she died of a triple brain Anyeurysm, My DH was only 24, he took it VERY HARD, that eventually something good came of it..

I hope that doesnt come off sounding wrong...

I just realized that no matter how hard the times are usually something blessed happens because of all the hardship we endured..Granted some times it took a while, but Good did happen...

I feel like I have found a new found optimism..Like Everything happens for a reason and eventually something wonderful becomes of all the downs that I went through..

I feel like Im babbling..But For once I am happy and not worried..Because I know that this will lead me to a place in the future that is wondeful and probably wouldnt happen if it were not for the rough times I went through..

Thanks for listening monkeys!!

I think you may be feeling the healing process.  And although it's sad when our loved ones go from us here on earth and we have to learn to live without them, there is some love and the good memories for us.  To be able to  see there will be good in the future keeps us from staying too long in the darkness, imo.

For the Halloween season coming up soon.


Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America.

Chocolate candy bars top the list as the most popular candy for trick-or-treaters with Snickers #1.


Black cats were once believed to be witch's familiars who protected their powers.

Black cats have long been believed to be a supernatural omen since the witch hunts of the middle ages when cats were thought to be connected to evil. Since then, it is considered bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.

I received this today and thought it was worth posting here


The Sack Lunches

I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat.  It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read.
Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.

Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me.  I decided to start a conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to me.

' Chicago - to Great Lakes Base.  We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed to Iraq.' After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars.  It would be several hours before we reached Chicago , and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time.

As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch.  'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch.  Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. I'll wait till we get to Chicago.
His friend agreed. I looked around at the other soldiers.  None were buying lunch.  I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill.  'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.'  She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly.  Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. ' My son was a soldier in Iraq ; it's almost like you are doing it for him.'

Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated.  She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best - beef or chicken?'

'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked.  She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class.
'This is your thanks.' After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room.  A man stopped me.  'I saw what you did.  I want to be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me twenty-five dollars.

Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane.  When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand, an said, 'I want to shake your hand.'

Quickly unfastening my seatbelt, I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot.  Once, someone bought me a lunch.  It was an act of kindness I never forgot.'  I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.

Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs.  A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine.  He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.

When we landed in Chicago I gathered my belongings and started to deplane.  Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word.  Another twenty-five dollars!

Soon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base.  I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars.  'It will take you some time to reach the base.  It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.'

Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow
travelers.  As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country.  I could only give them a couple of meals.  It seemed so little...

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

Hi Everyone!

This post is for everyone, but in particular its for Brandi.  I read on the other board that she felt left out because of "nanners" and thought that they could be gossip.  I just wanted to let her know that I nanner mods about posts I find a little on the "ick" side, and I nanner A-1 about fashion tips back and forth with photos of designs.  I never meant to make anyone feel as if I was gossiping about them.  So please DONT THINK THAT!!!

I am currently finishing up a wedding right now for a good friend of mine from college.  She gets married on Saturday Nov. 1st.  I will post some pics from the wedding of the gown and of the bridesmaides.  I am no Vera Wang, but working towards that goal!  :)

Just an early reminder:

Set clocks back this weekend

Oct 28, 2:00 PM EDT
 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Standard time returns this weekend, so set your clocks back an hour Saturday night.

Most Americans will get an extra hour of sleep, but those working overnight shifts will toil an hour longer. It also means some will forget to change their clocks, and will show up an hour early for church or other events on Sunday.

The time change doesn't apply in Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

WOW!!!  WOW!!!

Thank you for sharing Dolce.

It was an ultrasound that put a smile on my face and joy in my heart ... following the news ... that youngest son was on the way.  His older sister and brother were 16 and 14 years old respectively.  Some refer to this guy (25 years old) as our afterthought but ... believe me ... he was not even a thought.

Thank you again for sharing.

Janet

Pearl is Beautiful.  I never came here to Muse.  I came this time because Klaas said we should all come here for something funny but I have to read most everything so now will fall way behind in Caylee forum ::MonkeyWaa::.

I have 3 1/2 Puppies of my (our) own.  The 1/2 is our Grand-doggie (Reba).  Our son's girl.  When he goes away on business or comes for the weekend, she stays with us. 

Thank You for sharing!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a second an give an update on my little cousins operation for the hole in his heart and the LTGA

His grandma sent me an email!! The surgery went very well. The doctors were able to close up the hole and last night he was taken off the ventilator..If all goes well he will be able to go home in a week!

I have not heard about his LTGA yet and how this affects is I sent her an email and I will let you all know when I hear back!!

Things are not going well for my family right now and this was wonderful news!



God Bless You and your Famly Misitx.  You are in my Prayers.

Well just got off the phone I was told his arteries and ventricles are switched which is really rare IIRC usually only the arteries are switched..

My head is spinning from all the info...I am not sure how a pace maker works but he already has wires if he needs one??Not sure how that works..

He is hooked up to SOO MANY tubes and is doing ok...

His mother almost passed out when she first seen him..

There were lots of small babies there too getting open heart surgery...

Also found out my DH uncle(he is 45) was admitted to the hospital he was having chest pains..Hospital gave him a stress test found nothing sent him home!!!
He got real bad went back to the hospital they found blockage of an artery however he didnt need to have open heart surgery they got it open with a stent it was over 90% blocked....They said he is lucky to not have had a massive heart attack..

UGH!!Did I mention DH just "lost his job"..Well he was put "on call" which means he is lucky to work 1 day a month we are basically 1 month from having to move in with family because things are so bad...

My town is soooo bad off economically right now its almost impossible to find a job...

STRESS!  ::MonkeyWaa::  ::MonkeyWaa::


Just hold strong to your Faith MisiTx and let your friends carry some of the burden for you. :smt059

Bless Your Heart!

Tip for pet owners. My neighbor dognapped my Pom, took her over to her house with her outside cats inside and we got fleas. Groomer said to put Moth flakes not balls but the flakes inside the vac bag and it would kill fleas instantly so they don't get out and reinfest. I never thought about the eggs hatching in there and getting out !!!!! Anyway she also said to use mane and tail conditioner. I bathe my dog a lot and that cond is good for their skin.

I use M&T on my own hair, it works great has active protiens.  :)



If I can get one piece of fashion advice for this winter please let it be this.  Black is wonderful, love it, wear it, BUT do not over do the black people as you will just blend in.  A jewel toned scarf, shaw, sweater.....does wonders!  No matter shape, size, race, and sex a bold color gives off a confident statement!  (Sorry I know this is not the Fashion Tip board, just sad to see so many pretty people looking so dull)

Tip for pet owners. My neighbor dognapped my Pom, took her over to her house with her outside cats inside and we got fleas. Groomer said to put Moth flakes not balls but the flakes inside the vac bag and it would kill fleas instantly so they don't get out and reinfest. I never thought about the eggs hatching in there and getting out !!!!! Anyway she also said to use mane and tail conditioner. I bathe my dog a lot and that cond is good for their skin.

thanks for the tips.....never heard of using moth flakes....does it stink??  Knock on wood...mine have never had fleas...but it's good to know just in case. ::MonkeyWink::

I use M&T on my own hair, it works great has active protiens.  :)



If I can get one piece of fashion advice for this winter please let it be this.  Black is wonderful, love it, wear it, BUT do not over do the black people as you will just blend in.  A jewel toned scarf, shaw, sweater.....does wonders!  No matter shape, size, race, and sex a bold color gives off a confident statement!  (Sorry I know this is not the Fashion Tip board, just sad to see so many pretty people looking so dull)

thanks for the tip.....since this is our second winter in COLD weather...I am going to go look for some jewel tones sweats....::MonkeyWink::  thanks goodness when we go out I do get outta the sweats and into nicer winter clothing...but ya gotta love those sweats ::MonkeyTongue::

((hugs)) for you Shell.  You aren't venting.  You are letting the rest of the consumers/homeowners know they need to review their insurance policies and to be vigilant when making claims.  I'm so sorry you and your family not only had to go through the loss of your home, but to have had to fight to get a decent settlement, to which you are entitled.  I reviewed my homeowner's policy and made changes regarding replacement value, did more photos and video's of my home and contents and put them in a place not in my home.  I pray I won't have to use my records.  Shell, please let us know how it's going with your rebuilding.  I'm sure that's a whole new kettle of fish!  I hope you and your family will be in a home to call your own again soon, and start making more memories.

Shell,

I agree with MuffyBee.  You have enlightened many by posting about your experiences since the fire and insurance claim.  My SIL's rebuild started in the summer but was halted due to black mold condition in the basement.  Again, insurance didn't want to pay.  They just failed a second test for that condition (not sure who is paying at this point, but the contractor didn't do his job)....the mold condition resulted due to the delay caused by the insurance haggling..no heat, electric, and the dampness left by the fire fighters for almost a year. 

I hope all goes well for you and look forward to your updates.

Thanks for the kind words (((Muffy, 2NJSons, and Sunny)))

Today we are meeting our builder at the site. He has staked out the floorplan. As soon as we get all the paperwork finished with city/county we can pour foundation. The others who have started their rebuild say once that foundation is laid, the healing will begin as we see progress being made. My heart goes out to your SIL 2NJ. It should not be a process that should take so long. Your SIL had her hopes up and then dashed and it sounds like had the insurance come through in a timely manner on their end of the policy, the mold problem would not have happened.

If I can figure out how to do it, I will post some picturess as our house is being built.

Hi Shell - I wanted to let you know that we are in the process of switching our homeowners and auto insurance.  As you know we had some problems with State Farm even though I've been doing business with them for 40 years.  I'm going to take great pleasure in calling my agent next week and telling him NOT to renew my policies. 

Looking forward to photos of your progress!

Yep, I was thinking different areas/threads too.  Maybe a casual section, work section, dressy section.  Shoes, excessories, etc.

Sometimes there are reasons for not creating new sub forums that I'm not aware of.  Hopefully Red and Dugga will say yes and I can get the ball rolling.

If they say NO, then we'll just have to start a thread in the Monkey Lounge just for fashion but a SUB FORUM would be nicer.

LOL.... thanks Mytime and Mary Mary! I had a dear old great auntie who use to tell us that all the time when as youngsters we would comment on people's attire.
I am sorry that my post was misunderstood, as Sunny so graciously pointed out.I was NOT implying that anyone was a snob, merely making a JOKING statement that I am not a clothes snob. I like nice clothes and have a closet full of them.I also have drawers with jeans and tee-shirts , and yes, sweats which I have to admit to being most comfortable in.
There is a family of 5 in our church (they had 2 children and then she had triplets),the husband is disabled and they have a limited income.Their clothes are always 2 or 3 seasons out of date, but they are always clean and neatly pressed.Their shoes are also usually not the latest fashion.This family is always the first to be there to lend a helping hand when their is a tragedy, or time of need.As many mouths as they have to feed and as hard as it is for them, if someone has a death or illness she is always the first to show up with her children behind her bringing in good home-cooked food.I guess, what I am trying to say is that at this stage of my life I have come to learn that clothes do not make the person , what is in a persons heart is what makes them who they are.Many times, what people wear is a matter of what they can afford and I am sure as diverse group as the monkeys are there are some on here who fit into that category.
Dolce, I think is is wonderful that you are afforded the ability to follow your passion for the fasion industry and think that having your own sub-forum would be great for you as well.I wish you luck...

I couldn't agree more. 

I am alway teasing my kids about being label snobs.  And they truly are - right down to their sweatshirts!!   But they are just kids and at this age, clothing and labels are very important to them.  They are fortunate they we can afford their wants and desires. 

I try to teach them that it is not what or who you wear but how you are wearing it!! Hopefully when they are older, the mesage will sink in.

I usually don't mind spending the money because I feel like I am not just buying it for my kids.  I have many single mom friends with younger children and they love when I go through the kids clothes and pack up the too small and "wont wear" anymore clothes.  Their kids are always so appreciative too.

What really cracks me up is a littlle boy from another neighborhood who plays with the kids in our neighborhood.  He doesn't have any brand names clothes!  Yet he always has on the biggest most infectious smile.  He is a straight A student and superstar baseball player.  He is the one of the sweetest kids I have ever met.  His mom can't afford the labels but this kid is still full of self confidence and self esteem.  Again, his smile is all you ever notice!  Clothes do not make a person - their expression and attitude do!!  IMHO.

Cubbee I do apologize for snapping at you as I did misunderstand your comment.  While I know it is what is on the inside that counts, which is a reason why I try so very hard to be nice to everyone in the world, I also know that we live in a very plastic society and people are judged and denied prior to even getting a single word or action out. I have been witness to this in my personal life just recently too, within the matter of 2 weeks actually.  It is very sad....
I am not saying that everyone must wear designer clothing, that is my personal preference and how I was raised (thanks mom).  All I said was do not allow yourself to blend in...I explained a little more in depth in the previous post, but anyhoo...
Sorry again for snipping at you.  Style and fashion are for everyone regardless of how much money you have.  I am sure without a single doubt in my mind that I could pull an entire outfit together that is fashionable for any one size/shape/sex at Walmart just as well as I could through the pages of my designer catalogues.....
I am here to help anyone who wants advice...especially those going for interviews!!

Hi Sunny by almost I mean this...


My two daughters 11 and 2 1/2 ...were playing in the bedroom when my youngest started crying.. I ran into the bedroom to find her crying and my oldest daughter saying she fell and hit her nose...

By the time I walked 4 feet from my daughters room to the living room her face was FULL of thick gross blood....

I was freaking out..My DH took her to the bathroom and cleaned her face and got her calmed down...My Dh insisted it wasnt broken...But that night it started running clear fluid which I thought was just a runny nose from hitting it...She did not sleep at all that night she couldnt breath she was so stuffed up...

The next day her eyes started watering....

So on Friday 2 days after this happened her nose got a huge bruise on it and swelled up...I called her doctor and they had me bring her in....The doc was concerned about the bruising and swelling and sent us directly to get xrays..
The doctor said in could have been a very small fracture and the clear fluid could have been Brain fluid?!?

Well they got one xray and she freaked out she started screaming and crying..They tried and tried to get more but couldnt...

Back to the doctor we went..She said that from the xray they could tell that there was not a break but she was still concerned so we were scheduled to go to an ENT.....She did not think it was brain fluid at this point..

So today we went to the ENT

The minute he walked in the room she started crying!We had to hold her down so he could get a look at her nose...

But he still could not get a good look.He said it was very bruised and swollen and wanted to get a better look at her ears and her nose some more to evaluate her better...He said if it was broken it happened like this...

he pulled out a "popcicle stick broke it slightly in half (not completely apart) then put it back together and said if it did break it just went back together and you cant really tell...

So we have a 2 month check up so he can she how she is coming along...

I got you guys beat.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

A couple of years ago - My daughter and I were doing her science project one night.  We were both in our pj's - I like Old Navy Mens PJ pants and oversized t- shirts.  Anyway, at the last minute we needed some things for her project.  We ran out to Toys R US in our pajamas and even had me little yorkie with her sticking out of my purse.   We laughed the whole time.  What a sight we must have been.

She still talks and laughs about it and loves to tell her friends.  She still calls it our "little pajama party."   She is now a teenager and would not get caught dead looking like that now.  Oh, the good old days.  ::MonkeyCool::

October 22 was 1 year anniversary of the fire of 2007.

We are just now being able to start rebuilding our home. There is a special place in hell for those in insurance company responsible in burning us twice.

Venting, thanks for listening.

SHELL, I was just cruising thru musings (being nosy) and noticed yours. I can understand your feelings exactly and I am your neighbor! I live in the Ranco Penasquitos area, my memories of the fires, the evacuations, the fear are so vivid, I can't even smell a match being put out without asking" do you smell fire ?".
 Last year, one week after we were able to return home, my neighbor's son left something frying on the stove and started a fire that burned my condo and 3 others.  My insurance agent was my worst nightmare. He ,at one point was telling me that even though the toaster was full of soot, that it would be fine to use. Now we're talking a ten $ item. They were AWFUL, my pride and joy sofa, he at first said that for sure they would replace it until I gave them the replacement cost.... on and on......

I feel your pain but I also know that you're finally seeing the hope of getting everything back together now. GOOD LUCK
Janet

I got you guys beat.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

A couple of years ago - My daughter and I were doing her science project one night.  We were both in our pj's - I like Old Navy Mens PJ pants and oversized t- shirts.  Anyway, at the last minute we needed some things for her project.  We ran out to Toys R US in our pajamas and even had me little yorkie with her sticking out of my purse.   We laughed the whole time.  What a sight we must have been.

She still talks and laughs about it and loves to tell her friends.  She still calls it our "little pajama party."   She is now a teenager and would not get caught dead looking like that now.  Oh, the good old days.  ::MonkeyCool::

MT...that is hilarious!!! I have a wonderful mental picture of y
all including the Yorkie!  ROTF!!!

October 22 was 1 year anniversary of the fire of 2007.

We are just now being able to start rebuilding our home. There is a special place in hell for those in insurance company responsible in burning us twice.

Venting, thanks for listening.

SHELL, I was just cruising thru musings (being nosy) and noticed yours. I can understand your feelings exactly and I am your neighbor! I live in the Ranco Penasquitos area, my memories of the fires, the evacuations, the fear are so vivid, I can't even smell a match being put out without asking" do you smell fire ?".
 Last year, one week after we were able to return home, my neighbor's son left something frying on the stove and started a fire that burned my condo and 3 others.  My insurance agent was my worst nightmare. He ,at one point was telling me that even though the toaster was full of soot, that it would be fine to use. Now we're talking a ten $ item. They were AWFUL, my pride and joy sofa, he at first said that for sure they would replace it until I gave them the replacement cost.... on and on......

I feel your pain but I also know that you're finally seeing the hope of getting everything back together now. GOOD LUCK
Janet

WOW....I have read so many horror stories regarding insurnace companies..it isn't bad enough the emotional trauma that occurs....people them are again traumatized by insurnace companies....ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

mizjay ~  I'm really sorry you not only had to endure fire, but had to walk through fire to try to get a proper settlement from your insurance company.  That is just terrible!   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Thanks MuffyBee

I didn't read too far back regarding Shell's ordeal but one thing everybody should really be aware of in their policies is the ALE. Additional Living Expenses, it will cover renting another home while yours is not inhabitable, the only thing is, most people ( ME !) don't realize how long it can take. It's a good rule of thumb to make sure that there's enough coverage for up to 2 yrs of rent on a comprable house in your area. Out in my area the rent is so high and my coverage was too low, it's one of those things that I just never really thought about. 
I was lucky, my son in law's co. did the work very quickly (about 6mo.) and it wasn't completely burned to ash like so many others. Altogether I was out of the house about 10 months, it would have been financial disaster if I would've had to pay rent and the mortgage.

It was a hard lesson but it makes ya really humble and appreciate life.

Thank you for calling this to our attention, mizjay.  I just asked my DH about this, and he then asked me, "What coverage do we have?"  Neither of us know at this point, but you can bet we will be looking at the policy before the day is out.  Shell had already told us about replacement, but this ALE is another facet that needs a closer look, and possibly making some changes for us.

My tip -- once you quit, never think you can smoke 'just one' .... I had to quit twice because of that. Smoked for 15 years, it's now been 22 years since I had one -- and unlike many ex-smokers, I still they they smell good, would love to have one, but no way.

LOL.....actually we, my DH, son and DIL are all attending, thru our county health department, American Lung Assn Freedom From Smoking. I was skeptical at first...group therapy ::MonkeyWink::..LOL....however, having others who are experiencing the same things you are is very helpful....the thing that turned the light bulb on for me was a statement the nurse who is conducting our group sessions said....(she is an ex-smoker)....she said when she finally decided that this little piece of paper filled with weeds and chemicals  no longer ruled her life...a light bulb went on for me. and I thought WOW.... I was never a heavy smoker....about a carton or less a month....and of course I smoked light cigs...LOL...rolling my eyes now that I have a little education...regarding the chemicals  added to the cigarettes...anyway....the program fee (it was $50.00 a couple for us) covers all the materials as well as the cessation aids....patches, or gum or lozenges..we chose the patches. fortunately Because of not smoking a pack a day, we were able to start with the second of three steps with the nicotine patches. . You learn a lot about your personal smoking habits, triggers etc....It is certainly worth checking into via your county health department when you are ready. The first couple of days I was eating anything that wasn't nailed down...but that too is now a whole lot better. So that's it....a day at a time.... ::MonkeyWink::

After smoking for nearly 40 years and up to 2 packs a day, I've now gone for 6 months without smoking and I have absolutely no desire to smoke.  If you had asked me 7 months ago I would have told you there's no way I could quit.  My lungs are stronger than they have been in years.  I stopped coughing within the first couple weeks.  I did have a bit of a forced jump start (ER/ICU/Hospital 5 days) but I don't recommend it, LOL  ::MonkeyHaHa::  I used the patch and chewed a 1/2 a piece of nicorette gum to get through real "bitchy" times but after the first 3 weeks it's much easier.  It took me about 2 months or so to wean myself off the patches.

My husband quit too (cold turkey, no patches or anything) ::MonkeyRoll::

I worded it funny.  I was on the patches about 2 months, maybe a week or two longer.  After the 2 months I was down to the lowest dose and I was able to stop.  I did leave the last patch on for a couple days as a psychological thing, even though I'm sure it was no longer delivering any nicotine, LOL  ::MonkeyHaHa:: 

You are doing great!  For me I found NOT talking about it was easier until I got over the urges which was after about the first 3 weeks.  Then it was easier to talk about without wanting one.

Thanks Muffy.

On a lighter note... Did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous regarding a freakin' rooster????

Rooster arrested in Benton, Ill.
Becky Malkovich
THE SOUTHERN ILLINOISAN
11/04/2008

BENTON, Ill. -- A rooster played chicken in the wrong town.

That's the word from the downstate community of Benton, where police took a rooster into custody after it allegedly confronted a woman and her child.

Police Chief Mike O'Neill says the rooster has been bothering people lately, trying to keep them from getting where they want to go.

O'Neill says officers had enough on Monday and took the rooster into custody after what he described as a brief scuffle.

Nobody was injured and the rooster was thrown in an enclosed area near the police department. There, it lived on chicken feed and water until police located the owner. Chickens aren't allowed to live in Benton and the rooster was turned over to the owner only after he promised to find it a new home in the country.

Cubbee - my husband gets muscle spasms (he has MS), anyway he always uses a hard ball (baseball) to get rid of his muscle spasms. 

Whenever I have a headache, he always tells me to try the hardball.  Usually I can find a spot at the base of my skull or on my neck that needs to be "worked out" and my headache goes away.

Just wanted to tell you that.

I have suffered with this since I was 17 and I am now a senior.  About three years ago my husband read an article about throwing a bar of soap in the sheets.  (Not Ivory or Dove)  I laughed but tried it.  Since then I sleep with soap and it has cut my RLS down about 98%.  Go figure!  Give it a try

How wonderful for you. Be happy your husband is proud and showing everyone, my husband was like that too. My daughters are now in their twentys, but I remember after the first was born, when the nurse was taking Laurel to the nursery, my husband followed and the doctor looked at me and said, you've lost him now. Take advantage of the pampering and attention, and enjoy decorating and buying baby items.

Thanks everyone.

Yes 2 seperate placenta's, but the doctor was quick to explain to us that it does not mean that they will not be identical...It would not matter to me either way identical or not, but personally I think I like having my own unique face.
My poor hubs was pointing at everything he could find that resembled a "winky".  The doctor kept laughing at him....

Yippers Dolce!  I'm so happy for you!  They are adorable little blobbies already.  LOL  When is your due date?  (Mine is 6/21)

My husband is a lot like yours.  We weren't going to tell anyone until we hit 12 weeks because it was touch and go but he can't help but tell everyone he knows. 

You'll do great - those babies knew what they were doing when they picked you to be their mommy.  You rock!

It doesn't matter what names you decide, but the old rule of rhyming names seems to have gone, thank goodness!
Some of the older names are cropping again, and I like them all. We have a granddaughter named Emily Rose.
I want to add my blessings to you and your precious babies. I know the wait will be hard for you!

No, the fires and wind is such that I don't smell anything at all.  IBE was alot closer and probably downwind from the fire near Los Angeles. 

Hopefully she'll check in with us soon.

Mrs. Owl spoke with her son this weekend and the fires were not affecting them in the least.  There was a problem with the electrical grid.  Even with 90 degree temps they were warned not to use air conditioners because of the danger for a "brown out."

On the local news at noon they were saying that Los Angeles is very smoky right now. So sad for all the families.

They also said where the fire started was known as a hang out area for teens. They are investigating it to see if it could be arson related.

When I read mobile park, I got a little nervous....hope we hear from IBE, soon.

***********

Residents return to devastated LA mobile home park

By AMY TAXIN, Associated Press Writer Amy Taxin, Associated Press Writer Mon Nov 17, 4:14 pm ET
LOS ANGELES – Residents of a once neatly kept mobile home park returned Monday to see for themselves how a wildfire turned it into a desolate landscape of charred metal and blackened sticks.

One black van was used to ferry residents of the 484 homes destroyed by Saturday's inferno. White vans were used for residents of the roughly 120 homes that were still standing.

Ed Hurdle, 82, was among many retirees who lived at the Oakridge Mobile Home Park and saw all their belongings go up in flames.

"It's gone," Ed Hurdle said with little emotion after taking the first park tour organized by fire officials. "The car is gone. The house is gone. It's twisted metal. It's totally charred there. There's no hope at all. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing."

The tours came as calm winds and clear skies allowed firefighters to make gains on two Southern California wildfires that devastated hundreds of homes and forced thousands of residents to flee during the weekend. Most of the evacuation orders were lifted by Monday.

Since Thursday, three major fires have burned nearly 41,000 acres, or 64 square miles. Officials warned of another bad air day on Monday, and classes were canceled at dozens of schools near fire zones in Orange County. Many schools that were in session canceled outdoor activities due to acrid smoke.

In Los Angeles' Sylmar neighborhood, vans carried residents of the Oakridge park past the rubble and made brief stops so those who still had homes could collect medication or other essential items before returning to an evacuation center at Sylmar High School.

Betty Glassman, 78, was one of the lucky ones.

"My house was in great shape. All it was was dirty," she said, smiling. "I feel like I'm in a dream. Pinch me."

Among the dozens of people waiting at the school to take the tour was Tommy Reaves, 45, whose home was destroyed.

"I want to be able to stand in front of my house, and I'll have closure. I'll know it's gone," said Reaves, who paid $60,000 when he bought the three-bedroom, two-bathroom modular home in 2003, then did $40,000 worth of upgrades.

Even many of the homes that remain were badly damaged by the fast-moving fire. Cadaver dogs have been searching the burned units, but so far no bodies have been found.

Search dogs did locate cremated human remains, but a resident told police the ashes belonged to her husband, who died several years ago. Animal control recovered several dead animals and three live cats.

Elsewhere, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in San Bernardino County, the fourth county to receive the designation since a series of wildfires broke out last Thursday. The declaration directs state emergency workers to assist local firefighters in containing the blaze and evacuating residents.

The largest of the fires has burned more than 28,000 acres in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties and has destroyed more than 160 homes roughly 50 miles southeast of Sylmar.

The first of the wildfires broke out in the Montecito area of Santa Barbara County, about 90 miles northwest of Sylmar.

Wind gusts peaked at more than 70 mph at the height of the fires over the weekend, but weakened to about 20 mph on Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

"It's wonderful news," said Angela Garbiso, a spokeswoman with Orange County Fire Authority. "When it calms down, it obviously makes it easier for us to handle this massive undertaking."

The causes of all the fires were under investigation, although officials labeled the Santa Barbara-area fire "human-caused," said Doug Lannon, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Hi Dolce,
This is for you! I also have twins, boy and girl, different as night and day! Not a day goes by, that I Thank God for my double blessings (I call them my 2fer lol). They will be 11 Dec. 8th, I also have a 14 year old. God has blessed me so much. Enjoy and savor everyday, they grow up SO FAST! They are just now beginning to get their own friends, that has just happened within the past year. It's that word called "puberty" UGG. When they were little Kyle who is 60 sec older than Kelly, would hold her hand at the dr's, and also get his shots first, so she would not be scared. You will be amazed at the "twin" language, the inseperable way they are. I have posted pics of them. To be fair and balanced I also included my oldest daughter Christine.

Speaking of FASHION.  I think I have the approval of RED to create a special FASHION FORUM.  Dugga isn't as hot on the idea as Red is so I'm just waiting on the final OK.

Now...back you your regularly scheduled programming and I'll get back to my first cup of coffee  ::MonkeyWink::
How very exciting!!!  Aw, well you will have to tell Dugga to come around the Fashion Forum and I am sure he would enjoy it!

I am here Sunny!

thanks....ok...how long does ones pants need to be if they are wearing wedges...
Need to come down to cover the ankle portion of your foot.  But wear it if you got it!

that's what I thought...my DIL is trying to put together outfits to take to Jamaica next week...she is short, like me, 5'1" but she is heavier than I am.. me 8 petite...she 14 petite.she has beautiful while irish linen pants that come just a tad bit above her ankle and new wedges with a thin ankle strap...she tried them on last night and IMO it looked odd....made her look kinda of cut off....but I didn't say anything....I thought I'd ask you first...I guess I should just not say anything...

PS...THANK YOU
Sorry for running out there, had to run to Ave Maria. 

Just wanted to say that while the length you are mentioning is not exactly ideal for the wedges, I would not say anything to her in regards to it.  It sounds like she has an outfit she is proud of on her hands, and if she is confident to wear that, dont put any sort of frown upon it. 
With "vertically challenged" people its hard to find pants that do not drag the floor or that are cropped too high, and often times even if they are altered some places just still do not get it completely right. 
Give her mad props for putting herself out there and wearing something that sounds stylish!  :)

Your encouragement and support is what is going to continue her drive to succeed in her goal.  That is wonderfull news!  My close friend is on the larger side as well and last year joined a group called Weight Watchers, she has dropped several pounds and sizes.  I still venture with her to the gym to show my support of her efforts, take dance classes with her to pump up the metabolism while having a bit of fun...Belly Dancing is a blast!! 
Its great to see her smiling and accepting herself a little more each day, she is starting to finally see the person that I have always seen in her.  Its a great thing to watch for sure!

Sure!  She always comes down for the month of December and stays.  We are trying to talk her into making a permanent move as the cold is not good for her.  She is real old, like 83.

Monken,
I just read that you arrived home with your 4 month old Golden!

A few quick things
They pee within 5 minutes after they get up from sleep. Poo within 30 minutes of eating.
Keep his crate in your bed room tonight. He was used to sleeping with his siblings.
Make sure he gets all his puppy vacinations and shots before bringing him to parks or places where many dogs frequent. 
Give him lots of exercising it helps to get rid of that extra energy that gets them into trouble.
Buy Nature's Miracle for any potty training accidents. It is amazing. Gets rid of smell and stains from rugs, fabric.  I even use it for mud or food stains (from people).  Pour it on the spot and leave it.
Oh, absolutly do not feed dogs chocolate, onions, or grapes they can be deadly.

Joesamas Mama I read in the forum a few days ago where you posted about putting your daughter up for adoption.  It was during a heated time in the cage and I wanted to comment, but later you were gone, and lately I have not been on and you have been sick, so now I am commenting! 

Being a child that was adopted at birth I must say to you that what you have done for your daughter is the very best gift you will ever give her.  You gave her a chance.  While I am greatfull that my birth mother gave me a chance, I am saddend that after meeting her she was not a person that I would want to be arround as a child, adult, or even animal.  My birthfather is quite amazing though.  You made a difficult decision, but you made the very best one a person could make and the hardest one a mother could ever make.  Thank you for being one of the few who recognizes their situation and chose to help their offspring flurish elsewhere.

Thanks Dolce, it was a hard decision, but I really wanted my child to be with the best. At that time in my life I knew that I nor my crazy family would have be the best for her. I'm sorry your birthmom isn't what you would want to be around. It sounds like you have a wonderful family and you turned out beautifully!! Thanks again for the kind words.

Joesamasmama...I'm sorry about your pup. My dog has irritable bowel, has to be on prescription food, and has a pill she has to take when she gets a bout of it. Any kind of noise and commotion can get her upset. I just thought I would mention this in case it might help, I know you where saying he couldn't keep food down. Of course I'll say a prayer for him, I know how upsetting it is when they get sick, believe me I've been very upset on many occasions with Zoe.

Your puppy will be in my prayers, too...It's just awful when our four-legged babies get sick.

Thanks No Rose, he had this problem about 2 1/2 years ago when he was overweight. Got that under control, he lost weight and everything was fine, UNTIL he got into the trash. I took him to the vet this morning and they gave him more meds. I just don't like it when he is mopey. I think it may be the medicine. I'm sorry about your dog, what kind of medicine do they give her. I know there is a dog I babysat for that had to take pepcid every day. I'm glad your Zoe is doing good. Thanks for your prayers.

Joesamasmama... yes pepcid calms her stomach down, where it doesn't make such terrible stomach noises. She also needs tranquilizers, like during fireworks and thunderstorms. I hope in the morning you will post that he is better. Take care, Mary.

NM,
Thank you so much for the doggie info! I will try & post a pic so you can see him. The girls have named him Kingston. His registered name will be Royal Kingston Kole. My dad's middle name was Royal. Kingston is 4 months old & he is HUGE!! He is going to be a big dog. He loves his new home. They live way out in the country on 35 acres, where my whole family lives except for me(we're city folks). They have 1 dog(Roxie) she's 8 and he took to her right away. I couldn't believe how many monkeys here had Goldens! My husband wants a female now for us, we lost our Husky 2 years ago. So I guess there is more to come. Thanks again & Merry Christmas!!

This morning I woke up and ... all was right with my world.  However ... little did I know that within hours that world would be shaken.

After church ... hubby and I planned on driving across the American/Canadian border to  youngest son's inlaw's home for a belated Thanksgiving Dinner.

While at church ... the usher came to us and informed us there was a call for us.  I just knew something was wrong.  We had never had a personal call at the church during a service.

It was youngest son ... he was sobbing and ... I cannot recall  the last time my son cried.

He was at the hospital and ... his wife ... our precious DIL ... had just miscarriaged their first child.  DIL was sleeping/resting but ... he wanted us with him until his inlaws arrived.

Apparently ... DIL will be released this afternoon but ... I have so idea what the rest of the day holds.  Our daughter and family should be here shortly

As a mother of a son ... I do not have a clue what my place is in this circumstance.  DIL is reaching out to her husband and parents and ... that is the way it should be but ...

My feelings are so mixed.

 ::MonkeyNoNo::

Thanks for listening.

My sympathy goes out to your son & DIL....having lost our first, I know how they are feeling and know that it will take time.  I'm sure you will offer comfort in your way, Janet, and it will be welcomed.   God willing, they may be expecting again within the next few months.  That's what happened to us

Janet, my heart goes out to you and your family, it is a difficult time.

I can understand your mixed feelings, not being quite sure what to do, say, how to react.  As a mom of sons myself, I can totally relate to having mixed feelings during difficult moments like this.  Trust yourself, you'll know what needs to be said and done, and when. 

Your son will need your help focusing on his wife and being supportive of her, cuz that's what he'll likely want to do.  Without asking for it or probably even wanting it, he'll need your support of him and his own feelings, which he likely will be shoving aside in leiu of taking care of his wife.  He needs to be able to grieve just as much as she does.  And then there are your own thoughts and feelings which need to find expression as well. 

We're here for you when you need us.  Am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  (http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/Wyks_/Smilies/hug.gif)

Oh Janet, I am so sorry to hear of this. My daughter lost a baby in March of this year. Tough times for all. I didn't know what to do either, because anything a person could say isn't going to make it better. I just made myself available to listen, to babysit the other two. Baked, cooked , but mostly listened to my SIL and daughter.
Take your cues from them.
Your DIL will heal, but it takes time. Sometimes months. My daughter and SIL went to the memorial service by themselves. The remains were cremated. Their priest came over and talked to them a few times. He did a healing ceremony for them. Their belief is life begins at conception and that the baby is in heaven with my parents and his grandfathers.
People sent cards and flowers. Some people made stupid remarks to her ( Oh well, they were trying to say the right thing ). She couldn't look at a cute baby or any baby for a while.
Her hormones were out of whack for a few months and things were taken the wrong way.
Just be there for your son and daughter in law. 
It happened on a Sunday and she still gets funny every Sunday night.

Janet ... your place will make itself known after you have time to reflect on this .. A miscarrage is not just the immediate loss of a baby, yet something so much deeper .. an emotional scar ...

You have been graced with the gifts of wisdom and compassion, both of which will be much needed in the months to come ... not just by your son, but also your daughter in law ...

This morning I woke up and ... all was right with my world.  However ... little did I know that within hours that world would be shaken.

After church ... hubby and I planned on driving across the American/Canadian border to  youngest son's inlaw's home for a belated Thanksgiving Dinner.

While at church ... the usher came to us and informed us there was a call for us.  I just knew something was wrong.  We had never had a personal call at the church during a service.

It was youngest son ... he was sobbing and ... I cannot recall  the last time my son cried.

He was at the hospital and ... his wife ... our precious DIL ... had just miscarriaged their first child.  DIL was sleeping/resting but ... he wanted us with him until his inlaws arrived.

Apparently ... DIL will be released this afternoon but ... I have so idea what the rest of the day holds.  Our daughter and family should be here shortly

As a mother of a son ... I do not have a clue what my place is in this circumstance.  DIL is reaching out to her husband and parents and ... that is the way it should be but ...

My feelings are so mixed.

Janet:  I am so sorry for all of you in your family.  You all seem so close and I know this is a hard time for all of you.  I know the pain of miscarriage and the pain of trying to have a child.  Please know God is with you all and can heal all things.  He is the great healer.  I will pray for all of you and know that He can provide peace and comfort to you.  May God wrap His arms around you and your family and give you strength today.

Thank you all for your kind words.

Thank you to all who shared your heartbreak and the heartbreak of your loved ones who have shared a similar life experience.

This morning ... my DIL is feeling well physically but the emotionally effects will take a while.  She was encouraged by the principal of the public school she teaches at to take a couple days off.  Son is going back to his teaching position today but ... DIL's parents stayed the night and will be with her.

Love, Janet

Below are the pics I'm using for my 2009 sock monkey calendar that I will give to friends as Christmas gifts. I almost don't feel that it's appropriate to post these pics here, because I don't want it to seem that I am making light of Janet's family's situation. I don't know where else to post them, though, and I wanted anyone who likes sock monkeys to see them, so here goes. It took me the best part of 3 days to make these pics. Those little sock monkeys can be a real handful when you're trying to get them to sit still for a pic!

Janet, sometimes these things just happen. Your place in this circumstance is to be there for your son and your DIL in whatever way they will let you. She might want to talk about it, or she might not. She might be going around and around in her head wondering if she caused this somehow--I know I did when it happened to me.

It's really hard to know what to say when it happens to someone else. You just have to listen carefully to see what it is she needs. You'll know. You know there will be grandchildren in the future, and that there's a divine plan at work here. I wish I tell you exactly what it is. Sometimes there's something wrong and nature just decides to start over again. I tend to believe that that little soul is still out there waiting for everything to be just right.

Fuzzball ... you hit the nail on the head.  On Saturday ... my son and DIL ran a 10 km marathon.  DIL cannot let go of the feeling that somehow her decision to participate in this run put her baby at risk.

Thank you for your kind words.

Janet

 Janet,
   My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family for this loss. The emotional effects will take awhile, but luckily you all have eachother to lean on and to get through it with. Nothing is more emotionally healing then a loving close family, which I am sure means the world to her and your son right now to have.
  Sincerely,

Thanks again for all the kind words Monkeys.

Everything has settled down over on my son's home and ... that makes me feel so much better.  In-laws are gone home and ... DIL frame of mind is much better.  She is even planning on being in her classroom tomorrow (teacher).  Lot of work awaits her in preparing students for a Christmas production that is coming up in a couple of weeks.


BT ... I just love your sock Monkey Calendar.  I wish I was one of your very best friends and ... was on the receiving end of your creation this Christmas.

Man charged in beating of woman

By Brian Livingston



blivingston@themeridianstar.com



A Lauderdale County man has been charged in the severe beating Saturday night of a woman authorities said was his girlfriend.

Ronnie D. Kittrell, 36, of 383 Briarwood Road was arrested at 7 p.m., after he and another family member brought the woman suffering from extensive facial injuries to an emergency room at a Meridian hospital.

Kittrell has been charged with aggravated domestic violence. He was placed on $50,000 bond.

The unidentified victim is still in a critical care unit at a local hospital.

No motive for the alleged assault was released.

Ward Calhoun, chief deputy of the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department, said while the victim was being attended to, Kittrell told deputies she was assaulted by a stranger at her home, which is located on Rabbit Road south of Naval Air Station Meridian. But after further investigation, deputies decided Kittrell's account was not adding up with physical evidence compiled up to that point. Kittrell was a short time later taken into custody at the hospital.

This morning I woke up and ... all was right with my world.  However ... little did I know that within hours that world would be shaken.

After church ... hubby and I planned on driving across the American/Canadian border to  youngest son's inlaw's home for a belated Thanksgiving Dinner.

While at church ... the usher came to us and informed us there was a call for us.  I just knew something was wrong.  We had never had a personal call at the church during a service.

It was youngest son ... he was sobbing and ... I cannot recall  the last time my son cried.

He was at the hospital and ... his wife ... our precious DIL ... had just miscarriaged their first child.  DIL was sleeping/resting but ... he wanted us with him until his inlaws arrived.

Apparently ... DIL will be released this afternoon but ... I have so idea what the rest of the day holds.  Our daughter and family should be here shortly

As a mother of a son ... I do not have a clue what my place is in this circumstance.  DIL is reaching out to her husband and parents and ... that is the way it should be but ...

My feelings are so mixed.

 ::MonkeyNoNo::

Thanks for listening.

Janet

Janet, My heart goes out to you. I have lost a child, and had daughters lose their children by miscarriage. The thing to remember is, it is a child, no matter what stage of development and the parents had hopes and dreams for their baby that is never to be. I would refrain with saying it is "God's will", and when the dil gets pregnant again and has her baby, do not say it is a replacement for the one she lost. Other than that, treat is as you would any loss, with compassion, respect, and just listen. I have total trust in you to know what to say. Speak from the heart and you will be fine.

When I woked in a small clinic as a nurse I saw a good bit of domestic abuse.And it is sad that in some families it is so so readily accepted.Sometimes it is out of shame and sometimes out of lack of education.All you can do is offer kind words and and encourage her.Maybe that guy will spend some more time in lockup...for her sake.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Thanks for the update, Monken.  I hope Social Services is involved with this and will help her with resources, etc.  I can't imagine how alone she feels.

Flossy, i hadn't thought about that but shouldn't they be a part of the investigation when LE gets involved? I sure hope so. She needs all the help she can get, her grandma really can't do much. And last I heard she's still indicating that this guy didn't do it! She is terrified! He was standing right there with her when LE arrived in the ER before they figured out he was the one that did it! I think he's a psychopath, too! Dear God, what is up with all the psychopaths, they're coming out of the woodwork!!!   ::MonkeyWaa::

DOLCE,I will congratulate you on a well played game today.Now I want to tell you something I just found out.This is not game related.
This time last year I lost my youngest Grandchild.He was 8 months old.He died from neglect and abuse.No one was ever prosecuted...couldn't prove who actually did the abuse. He had an undiagnosed congenital birth defect,which was never diagnosed until the autopsy.They said that if it had been treated they could have saved him but due to the liver and head injuries he would have remained in a vegetative state.To make a long story short...The ex DIL has been picked up on several theft charges in the past 5 weeks.Today the icing on the cake came.Her now ex boyfriend has also been picked up on an old theft charge.No Bond on either person.Now I am hoping one will turn on the other to try to get reduced charges.See where I am coming from?Now maybe we will get info to find out who actually caused the final injury to the baby.I was crying my eyes out the last little while.This made my day.I want to get my hands on them and ..well you know,hurt them back..
Anyway we both had a good end of day,huh?
And you can bet Casey will get what is coming to her.You just wait and see.

Sorry for the rant .You are the first person I told.Now I am going to have a drink and try to calm down.  ::MonkeyCool::

Trimm ~  I'm so sorry for all the heartache you've been through.  I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing a grandson in the way you have and then to have to struggle with seeing the deed go unpunished.   No one can hurt your baby grandson any more, but I hope there will be justice for him, and for you.   I hope whoever was responsible for the mistreatment of your grandson and did the terrible things to him that injured him and resulted in his death  will have a day of reckoning and will have to answer for their crimes against an innocent babe.   I'm crying just reading through your post again.  Bless you and I hope you can continue to stay strong.  Prayers for your little grandson, may he rest in peace.

I hate to ride shirt-tails, but this was well worded and expresses how I feel towards Klaas and the other mods here.

You all DO moderate this forum by heart, not cold rules, and that is one of the many good things about this forum.

Klaas .. you have been especially welcoming to me as a newcomer, and I can't tell you how much your kind words have meant to me and kept me here when I thought I had no place here.

And the other mods here with whom I have had contact (you know who you are) have been so kind and encouraging to me ... I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love it here and I know none of this could be the way it is without all of you!

Thank you ALL mods, and thank you RED for having this blog and encouraging us in our journey for truth and justice. I am just sorry I never got involved in these issues until recently.

Happy Holidays to all of you monkeys. You are all such special people! (People who question, people who do not hide their heads in the sand when victim's rights need to be recognized!)

I am proud to be one of you.

HI EVERYONE I HAVE AN UPDATE!!!!

I am happy to say that my friend's grand daughter has been released from the hospital! Her jaws will be wired for 6 weeks but at least she was well enough to go home. I guess that means no Christmas goodies though!  ::MonkeyEek:: Eggnog maybe! And the bastard that did this WILL NOT be getting out before trial. Thank the Lord for both of these things!

Dear Shell,

I understand your feelings so poignantly. I had a very close friend, Judith, whose cancer came back after six years. She described all the surgical details and the months of chemo. She went through five more years (with multiple surgeries) of the cancer being in remission and then coming back.

We would talk. She would tell me briefly about the cancer and then with a big smile would say, "Enough about me. Tell me about you."             

I said, "Judith, how can I tell you my problems when they are so insignificant compared to your problems?" She said, "Your problems are just as important as my problems."

It took me a long time to digest her comment. At her funeral, I couldn't believe how many eulogizers talked about how Judith was always there for them and helped to solve problems.

The lesson I learned from her is that there is no scale on which we can measure problems. All problems are important.

Thank you everyone for your sweet words!  We are so very excited and were delighted to have this knowledge prior to Christmas.

I would love to post the pics, however they are so very defined that my hubs has requested I do not post them on the internet (he is not a big fan of the internet).  I am going to honor his wishes, and hopefully talk him out of it too. 
::MonkeyHaHa::

We were lucky that we kept the theme of the babies room neutral with black and white tones and a jungle themed mural that I am still in the process of drawing and painting.

Thank again everyone and I will keep you all updated as we come along!

::KISSES::
Dolce & the Babies

Congratulations, Dolce!  I am reaching that point in my life where I am looking forward to children in the near future as well and when I read about others expecting, I get really happy and can't wait till it's my turn!

My hubby HATES the internet with a passion!  I made him a facebook account once and he got really upset....loves his privacy!

I am most proud to announce that we had a very good doctors visit today and found out the sex of our babies!

We will be the proud parents of one little girl and one little boy!!

My husband actually did a little touchdown dance in the examination room when we found out.  We are very excited and the doctor says the babies are looking strong and healthy!


Congratulations, Dolce!  I'm hardly ever over here on this thread but on the Caylee thread you mentioned that you found out and I came over here looking for this!  Best of both worlds!  You'll have a little girl to dress up in designer clothes and a boy to play for your husband to play football with!!!!

Dolce, great news about a little girl & boy.  I immediately remembered your ultrasound pic posted here, and Klaas saying one looked like he was holding a TV remote.....I responded the other looked like it was holding a mirror.... ::MonkeyHaHa:: 

Best wishes to you all.

BT  Awesome sock monkeys

Shell  Great news about the house.  Hope State Farm is finally doing right by you.  And remember we share in each others joys and each others sorrows.  We always want to hear the good news too. And I'm sorry about your losses too.

Monken  Glad your friends grandaughter is home and that the jerk is where he belongs.

Janet   &  Trimmon I'm so sorry to hear about your grandbabies.  They are now safely in the arms of God.

Dolce   A boy AND a girl.  How cool is that!!  Get ready for the most amazing ride of your life.  Kids are the bestest things in the world.  Well next to grandbabies from what I've been told.  I can't wait to be a grandma. lol

Snoopy update.  I really don't know what to say except that your prayers have been heard.  Snoopy has been incident free now for almost 24 hours.  This evening he was running around the family room like a little puppy throwing his football up in the air.  I'm so thankful for that.  If we can have him just a little longer.  The anti-biotics and prayers are working.  I know his heart problem will catch up to him soon, but for now we'll take one day at a time and enjoy him.  I know he's just an old dog, but he has been such a wonderful faithful friend to all who have ever met him.  If I can figure out how to do pictures again I'll try to post some of him.  He's a sight to see.  Tri-color Border Collie with blue eyes.

Posted by Marlee this morning and brought over from the Caylee Anthony thread:

O/T Tim Miller Update

A little birdie flew in from Texas and ask me to post the following update for Tim:

His heart has checked out okay, and the stents he had put in a few years are working well.  They are going to run some tests on his lungs and digestive system next, and then we hope to have some answers.  He is finally resting a bit more comfortably tonight, so maybe he will settle down a bit, and get some much needed rest. Thanks for all the well wishes.  I know he will appreciate them so much.

HI MONKEYS!!

Just wanted to say CONGRATS TO DOLCE!!!!!!!!!!!

&

PRAYERS FOR TIM!!!!!!

I have been in the Caylee forums but things have been heated alot and I have just tried to keep to myself...

Today will be my last day here for a while time to cut off the internet and go into ultra save mode!
Hubby and I are still out of work and things are really tight...I live not far from Dow's Chemicals main plant in Midland,MI and my city is already bad I can only imagine what this will bring to the area...

On my local news yesterday they announced that the request for toys this year has been so high that right now they just do not have enough to meet those requests...Not sure how they are going to address that but Im sure the Salvation Army has a back up plan..

My town really amazes me on one street houses completely remodled are going for 55,000-75000 then literally the next street goes for 300,000+...

I have 6 abandoned houses just on my section of the steet, meaning inbetween the two crossroads..

Crime Rate is sky high...

I used to wish my family could move from this town if we just had some extra money,now I just need money to stay afloat..LOL

However Its Christmas time MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!! I am so excited even if there are not many gifts..I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!! We are lucky enough we live 30 minutes from the worlds Largest Christmas store , Bronners , and I love going there with my kids the expression on there face is so wonderful it makes me overjoyed...

Well monkeys take care and have an amazing Christmas and New Years...Ill drop in time to time from the library...If all else fails my DH starts back at his other job in April so I will see you on the flip side!

I love all the updates on everyone and Dolce cant wait to here more bout those wonderful babies!!!

PS My lil cousin that had the surgery for LTGA is doing amazing now!! He just turned 5 months old and is 29 inches long!!!!! His legs go on forever!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL THE AMAZING MONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Misitx5.  Be safe until you can join us again.

I live in FL and my job has gone from 40 to 12 hours a week.  Lost all benefits.  And you know, there are so many worse off than me, I am just grateful to still be working at all.

I think maybe we could use a little expectation lowering in this country.  My parents lived through the depression and the rest of us could prolly use a little education in "downsizing".  I think we are going to get that education whether we want to or not.  Hopefully, we will remember how to help each other out as much as possible cuz we are not alone in this mess.

Good Morning.  I've been setting here for 5 minutes trying to figure out why I can't make a post.  The little box at the bottom was gone.  Then it occured to me that I had empty my cookies which for some rediculous reason is in my puuter so I had to log in again.  Haha.  I overslept and my brain ain't workin. lol

Anywho just wanted to let mistix and garden gnome know that they and their familys are in my prayers.

Snoopy had another good night.

And Happy Birthday Daddy. RIP

Post by: misitx5 on December 10, 2008, 01:24:46 PM
Thanks You everyone so much!!  And I agree we definitely need some "downsizing" in this country my husband and I were talking about how alot of the younger generation do not know what its like to be told "NO" or to go without...I think it builds character and I think through this all my kids will learn a valuable life lesson.I take a lot of **** from people thinking I am to hard on my kids because I expect them to Respect people.animals and all things.I always get "Let them be kids" but I like my kids to show respect....Right down to not putting their feet all over seats in public and stuff because others have to sit there too.

It does not take a lot to teach kids respect and about doing good for others...

We have food.shelter,heat,water,electricity,clothing all your basic stuff plus "perks" like tv and a car and some video games,movies and most importantly our health.....I am using this time to teach my kids that we are lucky to just have what we have because  so many people out there are such worse off than us...And to be happy for what they have...

I admit Im only 30 and in the past have fell into that "my kids need" lots of gifts...HAHA need ok...LOL Boy I got sucked right into that..

But now with not much I am having a happier holiday than ever! I truly feel so lucky to just be where I am....And I really believe that this will be a very important Christmas in my kids lives one that will teach them to be a better person...(I CAN HOPE CANT I...LOL)

Garden Gnome I am sure we will come out for the better I am just hoping all the others stuggling make it out ok too...
(((((((HUGS))))))) To all my Monkeys!!

I'm glad you have a little more time with us, especially in light that Caylee was found today, and you were able to be here with us.Please give us a holler when you get to the library and internet access, once your internet  goes kaput.  We'll leave the porch light on for you.

Mistix, I feel for ya! I would not have internet now either(well, I dont at night,,, go figure!), but I fought with them over my bill and got a reprieve. My 16 yr old had to make a choice of Christmas or homecoming, which was to be tonight. He chose homecoming to please his girlfriend and we got a snowstorm yesterday and now the dance is cancelled and we have new clothes, shoes and corsages that I had to pay for which we do not need. I am so depressed! I could have bought my son a Christmas gift! And, the courts do nothing to enforce child support!

My kids each got 2 small gifts this year and thats it....My oldest is getting a sock monkey she is obsessed with them...How could I say no to a monkey? LOL

Just wanted to explain what happened to Destiny w/o getting kicked off.  She had some fierce word w/one of the mods and some other people on the Caylee forum.  She said she was going to take some time away.  That was back in November, I haven't seen her since.  I enjoyed her information, as I enjoy yours.  It seems I always see you posting in the same threads as me. Most the time you're posting exactly what I'm thinking. 

Take care & Merry Christmas,

NO1ZLADIE I once was a runaway, also I was raised by my grandmother she was the first Generation of my family to be born here...I am a 3rd generation born here...My slack is not too tight on my kids they have their friends and hang out with them--I know they need some freedoms in life...

I basically raised myself I am an only child...I admit I am not up on growing up with siblings...I just think SOMETIMES, SOME PARENTS, just look the other way and fail to teach their children about things other than material objects...Not all..And sometimes it seems like kids turn out good no matter what...

I know that it is not the parents fault 100% of the time...Some people are just they way they are..
Sometimes I just think there is a lack of caring for others in this world..and kinda like Red said I get tired of seeing hoochies all over the place!I think tv has become a little to lax a little to early in the day for my taste....LOL ::MonkeyWink::

Oh yeah absolutely..10 years ago when i was your daughters age you could only watch sex-acts in hbo movies and shows...but whether you take away their cable or not, gossip girl, lipstick jungle, desperate housewives, one tree hill and all those other sex fueled shows are on no cable..for now you can still just catch it with some foil sitting on your t.v.

Your awesome in saying you know who their friends are, and that you let them have there space.. because you as a parent...as you know, cant control your childrens actions when they are out of sight..on the bus, at the bus stop, after school..football games....you really cant rely on just knowing their friends....you have to know your child....my parents lacked in the ability to absorb that their children who were home everyday after school whether they were home or not actually did drugs... my parents are lucky we didnt fall into the local gang *uh never* but u also never know which child of yours maybe lured into that..i started smoking marijuana at 9/ and tried cocaine at 10 or 11 i was in fifth grade on the bus.....its that simple..i dont do illicit drugs, barbituates or any prescription other than marijuana...and i think *and i find myself pretty levelheaded* that it helps me a whole lot more than effects..ultimately i use it as a bring me down, and relaxer to fall asleep. (p.t.s.d rid me of good sleep years ago)..But in your defense..i agree t.v. is too lax..and that levi commercial did catch me off guard.. i believe the young guy actually says..." iv never done this before, have you?" and they start undressing together *both look 16* and they jump in a river....but its the mere fact that they took it to that..sex sells...but so do a lot of other things that are not supposed to be used as an advertisement..its like promoting abstinence while watching one tree hill..im guessing...just like your promoting sober driving with beer advertisement billboards on the road. ridiculous..

This is something I saw this morning and wanted to share.  I live in a woodsy suburban setting, and we have a lot of whitetail deer, birds and other critters.  I have bird feeders, bird baths and I also have put out a big rubber tub for the deer to drink.  I don't feed the deer, but feel with the drought everything needs water to live.  Before I could get outside this morning to refill the feeders and tend to the bird baths and the deer's water tub, which had frozen over night, I saw a young buck walk over to the rubber tub and try to drink.  It was frozen on top.  So he took one hoof and pawed at the ice, breaking the crust, to get his drink.  For me, it was pretty neat to see.

Aren't deer just a sight to see?? The house i grew up in was on a mountain, and the deer would come and eat our compost..so we would purposely **my dad was a romaine hearts founder** put mountains of lettuce..and soon we wouldnt just see the momma..she would bring her babies too. I will never forget it. i live in fresno,ca now, and we are so close to yosemite.and i still go up there..and stop and watch deer eat...hehe you would think id be tired of it by now. And about him doing that with ice..its like i put nothing above them...in the woods behind my old home they had..20 by 10 huuuuuge deer dens made of brush. its amazing there motherly instincts..let alone their will to live. Thats nice of you to have a troph for them. cute cute cute ::MonkeyDance::

This is something I saw this morning and wanted to share.  I live in a woodsy suburban setting, and we have a lot of whitetail deer, birds and other critters.  I have bird feeders, bird baths and I also have put out a big rubber tub for the deer to drink.  I don't feed the deer, but feel with the drought everything needs water to live.  Before I could get outside this morning to refill the feeders and tend to the bird baths and the deer's water tub, which had frozen over night, I saw a young buck walk over to the rubber tub and try to drink.  It was frozen on top.  So he took one hoof and pawed at the ice, breaking the crust, to get his drink.  For me, it was pretty neat to see. 

Aren't deer just a sight to see?? The house i grew up in was on a mountain, and the deer would come and eat our compost..so we would purposely **my dad was a romaine hearts founder** put mountains of lettuce..and soon we wouldnt just see the momma..she would bring her babies too. I will never forget it. i live in fresno,ca now, and we are so close to yosemite.and i still go up there..and stop and watch deer eat...hehe you would think id be tired of it by now. And about him doing that with ice..its like i put nothing above them...in the woods behind my old home they had..20 by 10 huuuuuge deer dens made of brush. its amazing there motherly instincts..let alone their will to live. Thats nice of you to have a troph for them. cute cute cute ::MonkeyDance::


BTW---thank you for sharing that.. for a brief moment i had peace at mind. My study of this case has somewhat enlightened me by means of learning. But it drains me mentally, i just watched the court hearing and my mind is swirling. You took my head out of the dark clouds. Tanks!! ::MonkeyTongue::

 i was reading from where i left off in the threads yesterday, and i hadnt realized how much my conversation with fellow monkey dolce upset you. im so sorry, it was not my intention. now as someone who is studying to be a criminal defense attorney i would be a fool for defending myself in the matter. Nonetheless, i was not using the term "silly" to belittle my fellow monkey. its a term of endearment that i use. i was being amused by the post that i orginally posted to, which pertained to something to the effect of tilly the dog being spared. that is what i was replying to. i certainly was not trying to  "hehe"  to what she had said about the bones found in the investigation. at the moment i was still tickled about the dog being spared. now this is a matter that I had no problem in. but my reply was taken out of context and taken quite seriously without having an aforethought to looking to why i had said they were amusing.

hehe you guys are amusing..but silly dolce, they only start out small when they're sadistic serial killers....hehe..and theyre usually a white male, 25-35 to be vague..but casey is crazy..and i really dont put it past her of having a baby while she was in high school and hiding it in the woods..u nvr know with this broad"

Wow, that is cool Muffy.  We don't have any deer where I live but we do have skunks, racoons and coyotes.  With my luck I'd go out to check the bird feeder and a skunk would spray me, LOL  ::MonkeyHaHa::
