I'm hoping the sorry excuse for an owner will get all 5 of the possible years for animal cruelty and anything else applicable.  Starving Champ was a slow, cruel form of torture and the sorry excuse for an owner should be made an example of.  Hopefully, he will not only never regain ownership of Champ, he will be banned from owning other animals too.  Some community service (not around animals) would be good for him, as well as a hefty fine, plus a long probationary period AFTER he serves his five years. 

I'm glad the sorry excuse for an owner has been arrested, but I'll wait until I see a conviction before I feel I can  ::monkeywine2::  .  But the arrest is a start.    (http://bestsmileys.com/horses1/22.gif)

FYI - CBB has been having problems staying in the forum, she has been getting an error as if the site is down.  As it turns out there was a problem on the host end and they are now aware of it and fixing it.  Should be fixed in 24-48 hours.  This is what I was told by Justen (our tech guy who replaced Dugga).

Hey, this was indeed a misconfiguration on the registrar's end. I put in a request for a fix. The web form said it would take about 24-48 hours.

How your brain improves as you get older
 

 ::MonkeyDance::


In most areas of cognitive skill, we’re at the top of our game in midlife, not in our 20s. » Life satisfaction peaks at age 65

We Get Smarter

When it comes to most areas of cognitive performance, we’re at the top of our game in midlife, not in our 20s as many had thought. One of the most respected long-term studies, the Seattle Longitudinal Study, has found that most people are better at reasoning—which involves problem-solving and vocabulary skills—from ages 40 to 60 than they were in their 20s. So while we may be having trouble recalling the names of acquaintances, we’re surprisingly better at memorizing lists of words, getting the gist of arguments, making judgments of character and even juggling finances.

We’re also getting better at solving problems. Through the years, our brains have built up interwoven layers of knowledge that allow us to instantly recognize similarities and see solutions. One friend, a doctor in her mid-50s, says that when she gets into a hospital room now she can immediately size up the situation, which means she can often figure out what to do more quickly and easily.

And perhaps best of all, scientists are finding that this is not your mother’s middle age: Each generation is smarter in middle age than its parents were.

We’re Happier

We have all been conditioned to dread a time of midlife crises and empty nests. But there is no evidence for such widespread angst. Those who are in crisis, the studies show, have tended to have crises throughout their lives—meaning they didn’t all of a sudden crop up in middle age. Most of us are instead becoming more content. In part this is because our brains start reacting less to the negative and shifting to focus more on the positive. Perhaps we realize, on some subconscious level, that we have less time left. But we also have accumulated enough information over the years to help us put our energy into what might work when faced with a problem, rather than harp on what might not.

Several studies have confirmed that middle age is a pretty happy time. One recent large study from the University of California at Berkeley found that women’s moods and self-esteem—as well as their ability to regulate emotions— improved in midlife, when they became more confident, assertive and responsible. And a 22-year study of 2,000 men by scientists at Fordham University found that life satisfaction actually peaked at age 65 regardless of health, marital or financial status.

We Can Prevent the Loss of Brain Cells, and Even Generate New Ones

For years, scientists thought our brains lost up to 30 percent of their neurons as we got older. Now research shows that we keep most of our brain cells for as long as we live. Exercise helps, by pumping blood through our brain’s blood vessels and prompting the creation of new brain cells, even at older ages. Research from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has found that middle-aged people who did regular stints of aerobic exercise—such as brisk walking—had increased volume in key brain areas and were better at a wide range of complex cognitive tasks, such as focusing and ignoring irrelevant information.

And while it’s true that we can lose the important connections between brain cells if they are unused, the flip side is also true: We can nourish these connections and help foster new ones by pushing our brains to keep working hard. One long-time researcher at Columbia University says that if we want our grownup brains to stretch, we have to present them with a “disorienting dilemma,” something that pushes us out of our comfort zone. This can include learning to play the cello, tackling challenging Sudoku puzzles, or even confronting ideas and people who disagree with us. By reading a book with a different political point of view, for example, we challenge the assumptions that have built up in our brains over time (even if we don’t change our minds). The result is that we end up with a more nuanced view of the world— something our middle-aged brains both crave and excel at.

Since delving into all this research, I have gained a new respect for the talents of my grownup brain. My physical body may be a little creakier than it used to be, but that’s OK. Knees come and go—we can even have them replaced—but we hang on to our brains. And those brains have built up rich connections that make us smarter, wiser and happier than we were when we were younger. They let us, in an instant, make sound judgments: good choice, bad choice, friend or foe?

One friend of mine, a woman in her mid-50s who has been an editor for years and recently had to deal with her mother’s long illness, her daughter’s unhappiness at college and her husband’s brush with a serious disease, said that even though she often feels stressed-out, she also feels quite competent.

Some days, she told me, she finds herself putting bananas in the laundry basket, but at the same time, she said, “I feel like there’s not one problem, professional or personal, that I could not manage.” I couldn’t agree more.

One friend of mine, a woman in her mid-50s who has been an editor for years and recently had to deal with her mother’s long illness, her daughter’s unhappiness at college and her husband’s brush with a serious disease, said that even though she often feels stressed-out, she also feels quite competent.

Some days, she told me, she finds herself putting bananas in the laundry basket, but at the same time, she said, “I feel like there’s not one problem, professional or personal, that I could not manage.” I couldn’t agree more.

Based on The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain by Barbara Strauch.

I would print this out except I wouldn't remember where I put it!

POSTED: 3:20 pm EDT October 1, 2010

BRADENTON, Fla. -- When sheriff's deputies allegedly discovered a bags of marijuana and cocaine between a man's buttocks, they say he gave a quick explanation.

Manatee County deputies say Raymond Stanley Roberts told them "The white stuff is not mine, but the weed is."

Deputies stopped the 25-year-old Wednesday in Bradenton for speeding. Officers say they smelled marijuana and searched him. That's when they allegedly found a bag of marijuana between Roberts' buttocks.

Officers then discovered another bag in there; the report says it contained 27 pieces of rock cocaine.

Good morning Monkeys, long time no see!  I had to "drop out" a few years back when I took on a demanding job, but I think of y'all often.  In fact I just happen to be drinking coffee out of my monkey boat mug this morning.  All the best to you all!

There is a story in the news that is sending up red flags in my brain and naturally I thought of the Monkey Sleuth team.  It's the David Michael Hartley and his wife Tiffany allegedly attacked by Mexican pirates on Falcon lake in Texas.  Is anyone else following the case?  Tiffany was on morning programs today.

Dear Sonny,

Since your body is a temple, and it is your primary place of residence, it is your responsibility to keep the foundation intact.  Don't expect me to made a new donation to your building repair fund as that would be pouring good money down the hole.

As for the big butt, maybe so. It is your father's side of the family who holds the long line of plumbing. Possibly someone on that side may be willing to help you with your pipes. Some of them even have connections to renowned gardeners who could do some weeding.

In closing I will offer you some advice...You are not a squirrel! If you must hide your stash, your cheeks are not the place to do it!

Lovingly,
Mom

Hi Suse! It has been a long time!! Welcome Back! I've been watching it. Right now, I tend to believe the wife.

Ok, here's what bothers me about Tiffany's story. 
Jet ski(s) can outrun boats.  There were allegedly 3 boats chasing and shooting at them.  One lucky shot hits her husband in the head.  She turns and goes back and jumps in to help him but can't get him on her ski because he's dead weight.  (She should have his blood on her from the injury)  Meanwhile one boat comes up, close enough she can hear them, circling.  She screams "don't shoot"  and they leave to rejoin other 2 boats.  She gets back on her ski and flees.  She has to go past the boats to get back to the US side of the lake.  One boat pursues her well into US water.
What was the motive of the pirates?  They could have taken both jet ski(s) but didn't?
The couple were on a sightseeing trip to the ruins.  Did they take photos?
Who owns the jet skis?
The couple has been living off and on in the area, different locations for awhile (last year and 1/2?)  Why?  What is their occupation?  They are from Colorado.
Did Tiffany have blood on her clothing from trying to help her husband?

Post by: jill on October 06, 2010, 10:10:42 PM
my musing for the day:

Jessica Lunsford would have turned 15 today.  I really couldn't let this day end without saying that out loud.

In 2005, her grandma said this:

"Did you ever meet a child who loved to clean the bathroom? Well, Jessie did — window sills, the tub, the floor and everything," Grandma Ruth said. "But, that was Jessie. She kept her room perfect, her drawers neat, with everything ‘professionally' folded, everything in her closet lined up perfectly."
That was Jessie. Everything just so.
She was Grandma's girl from the time she was 1, when Jessie's mom and dad split up. She and Grandma Ruth loved to go shopping together, to J. C. Penney at the mall and Wal-Mart in Homosassa. Everybody in those stores knew Jessie, Ruth said, even the ladies back in the catalog department at JCPenney.
Oh, did that girl love clothes! Especially "skorts" and capri pants. When her church had a fashion show last year, Jessie modeled white and lime green-patterned capri pants and matching green top and a black, shiny raincoat. She loved that raincoat so much that she wanted to wear it all the time, no matter how hot it was outside.
Jessie wanted to be an Olympic swimmer — and a fashion designer. She would cut up old dress-up clothes and make clothes for her dolls. She and Grandma collected dolls together, from Barbies and Bratz dolls to porcelain collectibles.
"She couldn't sew," Ruth said, "but my friend Helen would give Jessie all her (fabric) scraps and she would make clothes, sarongs and things that tied."
Jessie was all girl. She loved purple and pink. She watched the Disney Channel all the time and had a collection of Disney videos. She especially loved "The Princess Diaries."

Jessie and her friend, Tiffany, liked to do cheerleading and gymnastics together.
"She liked doing cartwheels — I taught her to do that," Tiffany said. "We used to play on my tire swing, but it made us dizzy so we stopped."
The two were going to have a band, but they didn't have any instruments, only a microphone. So, they decided just to sing and dance. They liked doing karaoke together at Jessie's house.
They liked to ride bikes. Even though Jessie had several two-wheeled bikes, the one she liked riding best was an old three-wheeler with no brakes that Grandpa Archie had given her.
She loved jewelry and shoes and putting clothes on her dog "Corky." She loved makeup.
"I gave her an old box of cosmetics that she would play with," Ruth said. "Well, one Sunday we were getting ready to go to church and she came out with all this makeup on! I said, ‘Jessie, that's too much for church.'"
She went right in and washed it off. That was Jessie. Never an argument or a tantrum. Just "Yes, Ma'am" or "No, Ma'am."
Church was a big part of Jessie's short life and she was a big part of Faith Baptist Church in Homosassa, where she attended the King's Kids Wednesday night program. Out of 35 kids, Jessie was one of six who recently memorized the names of all the books of the New Testament and the memory verse,"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).
"She (recited) it the night before she disappeared," said Kim Bidlack, her King's Kids leader and friend. "She was always smiling. There's an emptiness now when you go to church."
Jessie was born in Gastonia, N.C. She came to Homosassa a year ago.
She attended Homosassa Elementary School and was in Diane Hart's third-grade class. Every morning Grandpa Archie would drive her to the bus stop and every afternoon Grandma Ruth would pick her up.
She liked music, Celine Dion and Lil' Romeo. She loved to sing.
She always said, "I love you." She always wanted to go to the store with Grandpa because she knew he would buy her candy. She always, always, always gave her daddy a hug every morning.
She was "Daddy's girl" and would call him as soon as she got home from school. She liked playing on the sand piles at his work site. She had just gone to the state fair with him shortly before she disappeared. That's where her daddy bought her the now-famous pink hat she's shown wearing in her picture.
Jessie was kind and tenderhearted and easy to please — but don't you dare put "green stuff" (parsley) on her pasta! Plain with butter only. "Everyone at Luigi's knew that," Ruth said, "and they'd start fixing it for her as soon as she'd come in through the door."
She loved "rainbow noodles," too — that's what she called elbow macaroni.
Besides green stuff on her pasta, Jessie didn't like seeing or hearing about anybody being mistreated; she didn't like to see anyone cry.
"She was a great comforter," Ruth said. "She would take you in her arms — she'd done that many times with me; last year I had four major surgeries and she helped take care of me."
Her mother, Angie Bryant, said she will forever remember the day she was born and seeing her "sweet, innocent face." Her father, Mark Lunsford, will always remember his last hug.
Her pastor, the Rev. Laverle Coats, will remember how she loved people, loved her family, loved "her Lord and wanted others to love him, too."
"She was a fun kid," Ruth Lunsford said. "It was good times when Jessie was around."

my musing for the day:

Jessica Lunsford would have turned 15 today.  I really couldn't let this day end without saying that out loud.

In 2005, her grandma said this:

"Did you ever meet a child who loved to clean the bathroom? Well, Jessie did — window sills, the tub, the floor and everything," Grandma Ruth said. "But, that was Jessie. She kept her room perfect, her drawers neat, with everything ‘professionally' folded, everything in her closet lined up perfectly."
That was Jessie. Everything just so.
She was Grandma's girl from the time she was 1, when Jessie's mom and dad split up. She and Grandma Ruth loved to go shopping together, to J. C. Penney at the mall and Wal-Mart in Homosassa. Everybody in those stores knew Jessie, Ruth said, even the ladies back in the catalog department at JCPenney.
Oh, did that girl love clothes! Especially "skorts" and capri pants. When her church had a fashion show last year, Jessie modeled white and lime green-patterned capri pants and matching green top and a black, shiny raincoat. She loved that raincoat so much that she wanted to wear it all the time, no matter how hot it was outside.
Jessie wanted to be an Olympic swimmer — and a fashion designer. She would cut up old dress-up clothes and make clothes for her dolls. She and Grandma collected dolls together, from Barbies and Bratz dolls to porcelain collectibles.
"She couldn't sew," Ruth said, "but my friend Helen would give Jessie all her (fabric) scraps and she would make clothes, sarongs and things that tied."
Jessie was all girl. She loved purple and pink. She watched the Disney Channel all the time and had a collection of Disney videos. She especially loved "The Princess Diaries."

Jessie and her friend, Tiffany, liked to do cheerleading and gymnastics together.
"She liked doing cartwheels — I taught her to do that," Tiffany said. "We used to play on my tire swing, but it made us dizzy so we stopped."
The two were going to have a band, but they didn't have any instruments, only a microphone. So, they decided just to sing and dance. They liked doing karaoke together at Jessie's house.
They liked to ride bikes. Even though Jessie had several two-wheeled bikes, the one she liked riding best was an old three-wheeler with no brakes that Grandpa Archie had given her.
She loved jewelry and shoes and putting clothes on her dog "Corky." She loved makeup.
"I gave her an old box of cosmetics that she would play with," Ruth said. "Well, one Sunday we were getting ready to go to church and she came out with all this makeup on! I said, ‘Jessie, that's too much for church.'"
She went right in and washed it off. That was Jessie. Never an argument or a tantrum. Just "Yes, Ma'am" or "No, Ma'am."
Church was a big part of Jessie's short life and she was a big part of Faith Baptist Church in Homosassa, where she attended the King's Kids Wednesday night program. Out of 35 kids, Jessie was one of six who recently memorized the names of all the books of the New Testament and the memory verse,"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).
"She (recited) it the night before she disappeared," said Kim Bidlack, her King's Kids leader and friend. "She was always smiling. There's an emptiness now when you go to church."
Jessie was born in Gastonia, N.C. She came to Homosassa a year ago.
She attended Homosassa Elementary School and was in Diane Hart's third-grade class. Every morning Grandpa Archie would drive her to the bus stop and every afternoon Grandma Ruth would pick her up.
She liked music, Celine Dion and Lil' Romeo. She loved to sing.
She always said, "I love you." She always wanted to go to the store with Grandpa because she knew he would buy her candy. She always, always, always gave her daddy a hug every morning.
She was "Daddy's girl" and would call him as soon as she got home from school. She liked playing on the sand piles at his work site. She had just gone to the state fair with him shortly before she disappeared. That's where her daddy bought her the now-famous pink hat she's shown wearing in her picture.
Jessie was kind and tenderhearted and easy to please — but don't you dare put "green stuff" (parsley) on her pasta! Plain with butter only. "Everyone at Luigi's knew that," Ruth said, "and they'd start fixing it for her as soon as she'd come in through the door."
She loved "rainbow noodles," too — that's what she called elbow macaroni.
Besides green stuff on her pasta, Jessie didn't like seeing or hearing about anybody being mistreated; she didn't like to see anyone cry.
"She was a great comforter," Ruth said. "She would take you in her arms — she'd done that many times with me; last year I had four major surgeries and she helped take care of me."
Her mother, Angie Bryant, said she will forever remember the day she was born and seeing her "sweet, innocent face." Her father, Mark Lunsford, will always remember his last hug.
Her pastor, the Rev. Laverle Coats, will remember how she loved people, loved her family, loved "her Lord and wanted others to love him, too."
"She was a fun kid," Ruth Lunsford said. "It was good times when Jessie was around."

Klaas.  Your grand baby looks adoreable, so bright, so in the moment!  Those feminine soft pinks and white and frills she wears are wonderful.  Your DIL must have such fun dressing and shopping for her. 
Looking forward to future pics.

Man Says Weed In Buttocks Is His, Cocaine's Not
POSTED: 3:20 pm EDT October 1, 2010

BRADENTON, Fla. -- When sheriff's deputies allegedly discovered a bags of marijuana and cocaine between a man's buttocks, they say he gave a quick explanation.

Manatee County deputies say Raymond Stanley Roberts told them "The white stuff is not mine, but the weed is."

Deputies stopped the 25-year-old Wednesday in Bradenton for speeding. Officers say they smelled marijuana and searched him. That's when they allegedly found a bag of marijuana between Roberts' buttocks.

Officers then discovered another bag in there; the report says it contained 27 pieces of rock cocaine.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Butt, Officer........

 :smt101 :roll: :jocolor: :smt017


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!! You're "cracking"  me up!      ::MonkeyDevil::

Dear Mom,

Please send me money for bail.  They found crack in my crack.  I know you told me not to bother you again for bail money, but this time it is clearly your fault, after all, I inherited my big butt from you!

Love,
Sonny

 ::MonkeyDevil::





Dear Sonny,

Since your body is a temple, and it is your primary place of residence, it is your responsibility to keep the foundation intact.  Don't expect me to made a new donation to your building repair fund as that would be pouring good money down the hole.

As for the big butt, maybe so. It is your father's side of the family who holds the long line of plumbing. Possibly someone on that side may be willing to help you with your pipes. Some of them even have connections to renowned gardeners who could do some weeding.

In closing I will offer you some advice...You are not a squirrel! If you must hide your stash, your cheeks are not the place to do it!

Lovingly,
Mom


 ::MonkeyCool::

 

Dear Mom,

My cheeks are red.   :oops:

Dad says the big butt is definitely from your side of the family and you always were squirrely.

We send our love,
Sonny

Good morning Monkeys, long time no see!  I had to "drop out" a few years back when I took on a demanding job, but I think of y'all often.  In fact I just happen to be drinking coffee out of my monkey boat mug this morning.  All the best to you all!

There is a story in the news that is sending up red flags in my brain and naturally I thought of the Monkey Sleuth team.  It's the David Michael Hartley and his wife Tiffany allegedly attacked by Mexican pirates on Falcon lake in Texas.  Is anyone else following the case?  Tiffany was on morning programs today.

Hi Suse! It has been a long time!! Welcome Back! I've been watching it. Right now, I tend to believe the wife.

Ok, here's what bothers me about Tiffany's story. 
Jet ski(s) can outrun boats.  There were allegedly 3 boats chasing and shooting at them.  One lucky shot hits her husband in the head.  She turns and goes back and jumps in to help him but can't get him on her ski because he's dead weight.  (She should have his blood on her from the injury)  Meanwhile one boat comes up, close enough she can hear them, circling.  She screams "don't shoot"  and they leave to rejoin other 2 boats.  She gets back on her ski and flees.  She has to go past the boats to get back to the US side of the lake.  One boat pursues her well into US water.
What was the motive of the pirates?  They could have taken both jet ski(s) but didn't?
The couple were on a sightseeing trip to the ruins.  Did they take photos?
Who owns the jet skis?
The couple has been living off and on in the area, different locations for awhile (last year and 1/2?)  Why?  What is their occupation?  They are from Colorado.
Did Tiffany have blood on her clothing from trying to help her husband?



They are saying this morning that the Sheriff on the US side of the lake has witnesses.

For those interested, I've opened a thread in "Unsolved Crimes":

I agree, something isn't right and I told Red that the first day this came out.  Blink just did a post on it.

my musing for the day:

Jessica Lunsford would have turned 15 today.  I really couldn't let this day end without saying that out loud.

In 2005, her grandma said this:

"Did you ever meet a child who loved to clean the bathroom? Well, Jessie did — window sills, the tub, the floor and everything," Grandma Ruth said. "But, that was Jessie. She kept her room perfect, her drawers neat, with everything ‘professionally' folded, everything in her closet lined up perfectly."
That was Jessie. Everything just so.
She was Grandma's girl from the time she was 1, when Jessie's mom and dad split up. She and Grandma Ruth loved to go shopping together, to J. C. Penney at the mall and Wal-Mart in Homosassa. Everybody in those stores knew Jessie, Ruth said, even the ladies back in the catalog department at JCPenney.
Oh, did that girl love clothes! Especially "skorts" and capri pants. When her church had a fashion show last year, Jessie modeled white and lime green-patterned capri pants and matching green top and a black, shiny raincoat. She loved that raincoat so much that she wanted to wear it all the time, no matter how hot it was outside.
Jessie wanted to be an Olympic swimmer — and a fashion designer. She would cut up old dress-up clothes and make clothes for her dolls. She and Grandma collected dolls together, from Barbies and Bratz dolls to porcelain collectibles.
"She couldn't sew," Ruth said, "but my friend Helen would give Jessie all her (fabric) scraps and she would make clothes, sarongs and things that tied."
Jessie was all girl. She loved purple and pink. She watched the Disney Channel all the time and had a collection of Disney videos. She especially loved "The Princess Diaries."

Jessie and her friend, Tiffany, liked to do cheerleading and gymnastics together.
"She liked doing cartwheels — I taught her to do that," Tiffany said. "We used to play on my tire swing, but it made us dizzy so we stopped."
The two were going to have a band, but they didn't have any instruments, only a microphone. So, they decided just to sing and dance. They liked doing karaoke together at Jessie's house.
They liked to ride bikes. Even though Jessie had several two-wheeled bikes, the one she liked riding best was an old three-wheeler with no brakes that Grandpa Archie had given her.
She loved jewelry and shoes and putting clothes on her dog "Corky." She loved makeup.
"I gave her an old box of cosmetics that she would play with," Ruth said. "Well, one Sunday we were getting ready to go to church and she came out with all this makeup on! I said, ‘Jessie, that's too much for church.'"
She went right in and washed it off. That was Jessie. Never an argument or a tantrum. Just "Yes, Ma'am" or "No, Ma'am."
Church was a big part of Jessie's short life and she was a big part of Faith Baptist Church in Homosassa, where she attended the King's Kids Wednesday night program. Out of 35 kids, Jessie was one of six who recently memorized the names of all the books of the New Testament and the memory verse,"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).
"She (recited) it the night before she disappeared," said Kim Bidlack, her King's Kids leader and friend. "She was always smiling. There's an emptiness now when you go to church."
Jessie was born in Gastonia, N.C. She came to Homosassa a year ago.
She attended Homosassa Elementary School and was in Diane Hart's third-grade class. Every morning Grandpa Archie would drive her to the bus stop and every afternoon Grandma Ruth would pick her up.
She liked music, Celine Dion and Lil' Romeo. She loved to sing.
She always said, "I love you." She always wanted to go to the store with Grandpa because she knew he would buy her candy. She always, always, always gave her daddy a hug every morning.
She was "Daddy's girl" and would call him as soon as she got home from school. She liked playing on the sand piles at his work site. She had just gone to the state fair with him shortly before she disappeared. That's where her daddy bought her the now-famous pink hat she's shown wearing in her picture.
Jessie was kind and tenderhearted and easy to please — but don't you dare put "green stuff" (parsley) on her pasta! Plain with butter only. "Everyone at Luigi's knew that," Ruth said, "and they'd start fixing it for her as soon as she'd come in through the door."
She loved "rainbow noodles," too — that's what she called elbow macaroni.
Besides green stuff on her pasta, Jessie didn't like seeing or hearing about anybody being mistreated; she didn't like to see anyone cry.
"She was a great comforter," Ruth said. "She would take you in her arms — she'd done that many times with me; last year I had four major surgeries and she helped take care of me."
Her mother, Angie Bryant, said she will forever remember the day she was born and seeing her "sweet, innocent face." Her father, Mark Lunsford, will always remember his last hug.
Her pastor, the Rev. Laverle Coats, will remember how she loved people, loved her family, loved "her Lord and wanted others to love him, too."
"She was a fun kid," Ruth Lunsford said. "It was good times when Jessie was around."

A person I know does not get out of the house much and consequently loses track of time or dates.  The clocks you can buy at a medical supply store for this purpose are very expensive. 

I got a clock in the housewares department of WalMart last night that was reasonable.  You can put it on the wall or the table, it has a stand that pulls out like a picture frame.  It has the time, date, day, and temperature, all in big numbers and letters.

Thank-you, Cookie!  I was dispointed that Haleigh never recieved her Kindergarden diploma or cap.  I asked Brandi if she
could put a cap on Haleigh. 

It is so hard to understand how she was not the top priority in RC's life.  He only held onto the child so Crystal wouldn't have
her.  Haleigh guaduated to Heaven, and now she has top priority.  ::MonkeyAngel::

Y.W. I dig the hat's:)

I noticed Luci has a bow or hair accessory in her avatars. Women look so pretty in hats, ribbons and bows. 
 :flower:
The 1940's (movies) adorned women with hat's. It is my opinion, hat's give a healthy attitude of being in charge of in life.

I don't think having a Nana as a Monkey and a Bear as an Aunt is unusual.  You know wherever you find bears, you find bees, too.  Besides, she is an honorary Grandmonkey, and as far as I know, that is about the highest status you can hope to achieve, at least in terms of being loved and spoiled.

Monkeys and puppies and bears, oh yes!

Am going to be offline for awhile.  Tomorrow am moving to a small town nearby.  This living with my two younger sons is driving me a bit nuts.  Well, actually... it's living with my youngest sons fiance, SHE is driving me a bit nuts.  Feel kinda bad leaving my youngest son "in her clutches".   Feels like I'm leaving him in the lion's den.  lol.  But even living here, couldn't do/say anything, cuz was trying to let him be the young adult he actually is.  As mid son tells me, I gotta let him make his own choices in life, yada yada.  Which is true.  But I don't gotta live in the midst of it, watching her drag him down, (which is of course, IMO).  Neither do I need to watch him make stupid choices for his life.  The worst of it is that she has bit by bit become disrespectful to me, and I'm not putting up with her chit anymore.  Anyways............. will be offline til I get all moved and settled with internet hooked back up.  THE last move of my life!  <yeah right>.  Will miss you all!  Hope to be back right soon!  Solve all the cases before I get back, mmmmkay?  lol  Here's to freedom and independence again... Yay!   ::monkeywine2::



Wyks, if you feel as you do, probably the best thing to do is exactly what you're doing.  Life's too short.  See you when you get moved in and hooked back up to the net.   ::monkeywine2::

Thanks, Bee, for those words of wisdom.  That is why we bears love our bees, and those misinformed think it is because of the honey they make.  That's not true, bees are sweet all on their own.

Wyks, great move, sorry about your son, but, as my son tells me, I would not take back the mistakes I made because then I would never have learned anything.  Your son will learn, just the way we did, he has a good foundation to work with.  Disrespect is a bad sign.

Klaas, she has lost that infant look and now looks like a beautiful baby.  When is your next hug?

Probably not until Christmas

Hmmmmm............  :smt115   You know Klaas, if you pulled Santa's Hat down really low, and pulled up Santa's Beard really high, she might be spared the trauma of knowing her Nana is a monkey for a while longer.

I've just recently discovered this recipe and wanted to share it. I saw Alton Brown's episode on cooking with Oats, and this one sounded great and easy. Oats are so good for you, too and I liked the idea of waking up and having breakfast cooked! I tried it and it was the best oatmeal I've ever eaten. I looked it up on the internet and noticed in the reviews that some folks had a problem because of the differences in heat of various crockpots, but if you make it, I'm sure you'd figure out any adjustments in cooking time or temperatures that suits your crock pot. I didn't have figs, so I used raisins, and I increased the 1/2 and 1/2 a little when I made it the second time for a consistency that I like better. I have it down pat now, and I make it once a week and put it in individual tupperware containers and microwave one every morning. Here's the recipe link, if you want to read the reviews:

You're welcome, Cookie! One of the resons I posted the link is because I read the reviews before I tried it, and it sort of tipped me off about the differences in slow cookers, so I'd suggest trying it during the day first. Mine is perfect in 7 hrs on low with a little less dried fruit and a little more milk. Apparently there was a change in standard temps with slow cookers several years ago, and they cook hotter now. The reviews seem to indicate that the posted recipe is best suited to the older ones. Hope you like it! It really is the best oatmeal I've ever eaten!

About the oatmeal recipe... I don't want to sound dumb, but... what is "steel cut" oatmeal?

I'm wondering if it's putting it in the food processor and making thin, like close to flour.

My mom always did that, and that's the way I've always done oatmeal.

Food processed oatmeal turns out creamy, cooks fast, and it makes a heck of an "orchata".

I have never liked the huge flakes that regular oatmeal has - not even in cookies.

I'll take that recipe. I like trying new things, if someone recommends them.

I got dates from last Christmas in the fridge, so I'm good. I bought a huge tub of them, and I have only used them twice for carrot cake (adding it along with raisins and carrots.)

Steel cut oats have a lot more texture and kind of a nuttier taste imo.  It's the only kind of oatmeal we use in my family now.  We had gone to the old-fashioned oats due to reduced sodium, but gave the steel oats a try and they were good.  Sometimes I see them in metal cans and from Ireland, but I buy mine in bulk.  I cook mine in a very heavy pot, and sprinkle with some raisins or dried cranberries and/or some cinnamon on it.  Some folks use cream in it, but I don't.  I've made steel cut oats in a crock pot a couple times, but cooked them with sliced apples.

Texting teens get the wrong number -- a REALLY wrong number
By Gabriel Falcon, CNN
September 6, 2010 -- Updated 2222 GMT (0622 HKT)

(CNN) -- Two Montana teenagers texting in search of some marijuana got the wrong number. Seriously wrong. They wound up messaging the local sheriff, and he messaged right back.

"They were one number off," Louis and Clark County, Montana, Sheriff Leo Dutton told CNN. "Luck of the draw."

Dutton said the 15- and 16-year-old boys mistakenly sent him a text message on August 25 that read, "hey dawg, do you have 20 i can buy right now?" At first, Dutton said he "thought it was a joke" but decided to continue the conversation by replying, "how much we talking?"

"I need 20 right now do you have any?" the teens allegedly texted back, unaware that the person they were communicating with was the chief law enforcement officer in the area.

Dutton said he handed the case over to a narcotics officer who arranged to meet the two teens later that day. After the officer showed his badge to the teens, one of the boys "got white and his knees started wobbling," Dutton said.

Although the teens were on record with their pot purchasing attempt, the sheriff says they won't face any charges.

The parents of both of teens "took immediate action" which played a big part in the decision not to charge the two, Dutton said without offering specifics of the parental punishment.

"If your goal is to put someone into the system and not try to correct the behavior, it seems like you are fighting the tide," Dutton told CNN. "The parents were going to do more to change their behavior than a criminal record. Changing behavior and making this a better place is what we're all about."

"We all make mistakes," the sheriff added. "Hopefully they'll use it as a stepping block instead of a stumbling stone, and they'll be better off in life."

Malvern, Pennsylvania (CNN)  -- "This is a mass grave," Bill Watson said as he led the way through the thick Pennsylvania woods in a suburb about 30 miles from Philadelphia.

"Duffy's Cut," as it's now called, is a short walk from a suburban cul-de-sac in Malvern, an affluent town off the fabled Main Line. Twin brothers Bill and Frank Watson believe 57 Irish immigrants met violent deaths there after a cholera epidemic struck in 1832.

They suspect foul play.

"This is a murder mystery from 178 years ago, and it's finally coming to the light of day," Frank Watson said.

The brothers first heard about Duffy's Cut from their grandfather, a railroad worker, who told the ghost story to his family every Thanksgiving. According to local legend, memorialized in a file kept by the Pennsylvania Railroad, a man walking home from a tavern reported seeing blue and green ghosts dancing in the mist on a warm September night in 1909.

"I saw with my own eyes, the ghosts of the Irishmen who died with the cholera a month ago, a-dancing around the big trench where they were buried; it's true, mister, it was awful," the documents quote the unnamed man as saying. "Why, they looked as if they were a kind of green and blue fire and they were a-hopping and bobbing on their graves... I had heard the Irishmen were haunting the place because they were buried without the benefit of clergy."

When Frank inherited the file of his grandfather's old railroad papers, the brothers began to believe the ghost stories were real. They suspected that the files contained clues to the location of a mass grave.

"One of the pieces of correspondence in this file told us 'X marks the spot,'" said Frank. He added that the document suggested that the men "were buried where they were making the fill, which is the original railroad bridge."

In 2002, the brothers began digging and searching. They found forks and remnants of a shanty and, in 2005, what Bill Watson calls the "Holy Grail" -- a pipe with an Irish flag on it.

They knew they were close, but Bill said they knew they needed "hard science" to get them to the next step.

The science came from Tim Bechtel, a geophysicist, who learned about the project from a colleague at the University of Pennsylvania who had heard the Watson brothers speak. The friend knew Bechtel could provide the missing link in the brothers' excavation efforts.

Bechtel's work included earth scans, which can help detect what's underground without digging or drilling.

By shooting electrical current through the slope, Bechtel said he learned there were "oddball areas" or places where the current wouldn't pass through. "We saw areas in the slope that were very electrically resistant," Bechtel recalled.

This was an initial indicator something might lie beneath the surface. After further digging, Bechtel and the Watsons detected "air bubbles above the coffins," he said.

Bechtel helped pinpoint key areas to dig and on March 20, 2009, Bill Watson said the team made a startling discovery.

"One of my students came running over at about 2 in the afternoon with something that was a clearly discernable human bone," Bechtel said.

It was just the beginning of the many puzzle pieces to surface at Duffy's Cut. The pieces led them to suspect that something other than cholera was responsible for the deaths.

"A teeny weenie little fragment like that is so chock full of information," said Janet Monge, holding up a jawbone and teeth found at the Duffy's Cut site. She believes the teeth, because of their irregularities, could someday be linked through DNA to living descendents of the men unearthed at the dig site.

Monge, an anthropologist at the University of Pennsylvania, joined the forensics team when Bechtel looked her up in the campus directory and asked for help separating the human bones from any animal bones.

Since then, Monge has collected bones from seven skeletons unearthed at Duffy's Cut, including four skulls. The trays and containers of bones occupy a long, wide table in the back of a lecture room at the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia.

Poring over the bones with her green spectacles sitting low on her nose, Monge said she has focused her attention on the skulls, adding that they have provided crucial clues to what might have killed the Irishmen at Duffy's Cut.

"This skull has a little divot on what would have been the side bone of the skull," she said, holding it up. "That little divot is something that didn't happen when they excavated it out of the ground."

With just one divot on one skull, she was reluctant to jump to conclusions. But as more skulls surfaced, a pattern started to form. Holding the second skull, Monge said with confidence: "This person was clunked on the head at around the time of death."

Two weeks ago, a new piece of evidence came up from the ground at Duffy's Cut: A skull with a perforation that could be a bullet hole. "In fact, we can see some nice cracked edges that do look very much like a bullet hole," Monge observed.

Monge and the team will soon test the skull for the presence of lead. The source could be a bullet or an ax. Either way, she said, "If they had cholera, it didn't kill them. I would say something else killed them, but they might have had cholera, too."

Why is the mystery so important to the team?

"It could have been us," Bill Watson said. "These guys came over here with nothing, looking for the American dream like countless people have done. They thought they were going to make it and within six weeks of arrival they're literally buried in the fill here."

Although they have unearthed seven individual's remains, the Duffy's Cut team labors on to find the 50 more they believe are still underneath the surface.

The brothers said their goal is to preserve the memory of the Irish workers and to put the story in textbooks, to be remembered for years to come.

"It's a story that transcends nations, transcends history in a sense. It's the story you hear of workers that were exploited anywhere in the world," Frank Watson said.

"How do we treat our employees? How do we treat people who immigrate for a new life? Every human being deserves to be remembered."

My idea of oatmeal for breakfast (and I have it every day):

Go to the grocery store and pick up a box of lower sugar maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal.  I prefer the store brand.

Open one packet and pour into a bowl.  Add enough tap water to cover and then a bit more. 

Place bowl in microwave and cook on high for 1:35 minutes.   Remove and stir, add a little water or milk to desired consistency.  EAT.

Steel cut oats have a lot more texture and kind of a nuttier taste imo.  It's the only kind of oatmeal we use in my family now.  We had gone to the old-fashioned oats due to reduced sodium, but gave the steel oats a try and they were good.  Sometimes I see them in metal cans and from Ireland, but I buy mine in bulk.  I cook mine in a very heavy pot, and sprinkle with some raisins or dried cranberries and/or some cinnamon on it.  Some folks use cream in it, but I don't.  I've made steel cut oats in a crock pot a couple times, but cooked them with sliced apples.  

Hiya, Miss Bee! I agree with you...... the steel cut oats taste nuttier and I like them better! Ooooh, I'll bet it is good with apple slices! I'm going to try that! Around here, Quaker is the only brand I can find that has them. If you've ever watched Alton Brown, you know how he goes on about the "science" of nutrition and cooking. He said that oats have more soluable fiber than any other grain; so much so that foods made with them can carry the claim that it can reduce cholesterol. Of course he went on to explain that oats bind with bad cholesterol in the colon, so that it "goes out with the trash".   ::MonkeyHaHa:: Anyway, he said that since instant oats are more highly processed that a lot of the fiber is destroyed.

Did 'ya hear that Klaas??  You're gonna end up with a cloggy colon! Then you'll REALLY be a tyrrrranical ruler!   ::MonkeyEek::

 ::MonkeyTongue::

(Of course she's going to have TIME to be tyrrrranical while the rest of us are having quality bathroom time!)   :roll:

Speaking of the upcoming wedding, "we" have FINALLY picked out a wedding cake.  ::MonkeyHaHa:: Yes, I've looked at THOUSANDS with her. I need you all to remind me that I feel "special" because she drags me along instead of her Mom........ whom I still haven't met..     :smt102

Did you know that there is such a thing as a "cake tasting?" Well, there is! I know this because she, my son, and John all went to one at her insistence.  ::MonkeyHaHa:: I thought I was in the clear when she decided on the picture of a cake. Huh-uh......... nope. THEN you get to pick out FLAVORS!   ::MonkeyEek:: The caterer brings you a whole plate of small slices of various cakes with different frostings, fillings, and cake flavors. 1/2 way through, you go into a sugar coma which turns out to be a good thing. You need the numb for the downpayment.   ::MonkeyShocked::

This is the cake shown with fondant. She wants buttercream frosting instead of fondant, and the caterer said she could make it look just like it. I'll believe it when I see it. I can't figure out how she'd get that pearl finish with buttercream, but she said she could. I'm thinking that by the time we see it, she'll be paid and it will be too late.  The final decision (drumroll and 5 pounds heavier) is two layers chocolate with hazelnut filling, and three layers buttercream with amaretto filling. As I said, the frosting for all is buttercream.   ::MonkeyCool::  Flowers are yet to come........  By then maybe I won't be so overdosed on "precious".   ::MonkeyDevil2:: Groom's cake is quite a contrast............. a 3 dimensional Bubba head!   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Those property laws are absolutely Bubba's personality. Since he's going to be AT the wedding during the ceremony and exit down the aisle with the bride and groom, it should be the final touch this whole thing needs, don'cha think?? 

I was going to stick him with my son's Dad, but I don't think he'll be there now. I have no Plan B.........

Did he get wind that you were going to give him Bubba duty? ::MonkeyDevil::

Why are your jammies so slippery?  Are they satin?

I am fine.  How about you?  Be careful not to slip in the satin jammies, maybe you should used your handcuffs to make sure you don't fall out of bed.

Hi CBB  ::HelloKitty::

Bearly is going to Disney World? How cool they should be having their Christmas Parade which I hear is wonderful. Did you know they can no longer have Tinker Bell Fly in the park. Because OSHO says it isn't safe. That just isn't right. There as always been Tinker Bell Flying at the parks.

 ::MonkeyEek:: Well who the heck sprinkles the fairy dust on Cinderella's castle??

Post by: Itaryl Moosee on October 19, 2010, 10:44:05 AM
I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Everyone is so cheery here, that I hate to post it and get people in a sad mood. But... this is something in my mind that I wish to "unload" on you guys/gals.

The other day I was reading in a thread and someone mentioned feeling depressed over current cases of missing children.

More than once I have also read of people in tears while discussing cases, or looking at heart-wrenching posts or pictures.

I gotta share something with yahs.

I started discussing current real-crime cases online back in 2005, in America's Most Wanted community forum. At first I found it interesting, and I was excited to offer my opinion regarding such horrible things as missing people, or serial killers.

But, there came the time, after about a year, in which (without my realizing it) I became very depressed and I was in a state of constant emotional upset.

I found myself in tears while discussing cases, and real-crime cases were in my mind through all waking hours. I found myself recreating crimes in my mind at any time during the day.

In summary, it was just overwhelming.

When I realized that, I decided (for my own sanity) to take a break from the computer.

I went to Disney World for 5 days, to relax. After the second day there I found myself desperately seeking a computer connection to see if there were news on a missing child or if one of the serial killers had been caught.

I realized then that I was both addicted and emotionally affected by my involvement with the cases, and I needed help.

After that I started taking steps to ease the emotional toll of discussing the cases online.

First off, I stopped posting in AMW in 2008, mainly because discussing criminals is (to me) more overwhelming than discussing missing children. AMW has gone downhill since then, so I don't miss it.

I take breaks from the computer to ease the nerves. Trips to the movie theater, shopping, talking with family and neighbors. I have my computer connected mainly all day, but I don't get into it unless I'm feeling like it.

After I've seen what a missing child looks like, I do not look at his/her face again. It unnerves me so, to look into the face (particularly the eyes) of a missing child, knowing that he/she may be dead. It just hurts too much.

Let me summarize that some of the missing children cases are so horrible that immersing in them does cause major depression... specially if one is pron to depression in the first place.

I felt that I had to say this.

Remember, a missing child case needs clear and sharp monkey minds, not emotional wrecked monkeys.

God be.

:D

Itaryl, thank you for posting that. I really do think you've given voice to what we all experience from time to time, and it needs to be said. Ideally, this very thread was created for just the purpose your post brings to light. It ebbs and flows, thrives at times and has taken blows at others, but we've tried hard to keep controversial things like politics out of here and let it be a place where we can be silly, informative, or just a place to let our hair down and be chatty.

I too struggle with taking on more "heartstrings" when my own life is stretching me emotionally, because it's not a choice we make. We just can't follow a story without getting sucked in by a child's tragedy. My God, how can we have ever known and loved a child without becoming vested in SM's children and the families that love them? It can be overwhelming and you're feelings are well understood. I'm glad you're here at SM and I'm glad you shared your feelings with us. I'll warn you of something if it hasn't already happened. You'll find that you're also creating real emotional ties to posters. I honestly love many here. I have family here. If that's pathetic, then so be it. It doesn't feel pathetic to me; I feel very, very Blessed by it.

Take your breaks Itaryl. It's all good and just by what you've shared with us, you're exactly what helps SM be a place that I want to be part of.  HUGS!!

Itaryl, I just read your post and that is right where I am at.  My heart aches for these little innocent souls.  Their pictures impact me...their pictures make me work harder to try and make a difference in what I do, where I am at and to possibly have an impact on the people that I deal with on a daily basis.  Sometimes, these smiling pictures of these lost babies give me the strength to get through my day.  I made it through.  I wish they had, too.  And even though these cases hurt, I see the grace that still resides in the human spirit.  I see Haleigh's smile, Kyron's curiousity, Zahra's spunk, Gabriel's innocence in the face of the horrific hand they were dealt.  There, in those pictures, is grace...is beauty.  I hold that dearly...it is worth fighting for, worth dying for.  I can only do what I can do.

Thank you for that post.

Thank you for sharing this, IM.  I often see the same thing you do and am concerned for posters here.

I am also going to Disney, we will see what happens.  I have stepped away from SM for a while because the life and death of these children affect me so much.  When I feel particularly down, I will be here in Musings or also with the  Ban Clan, they often make me laugh. I am still here, but check in on the childrens' threads less frequently.  At some point in the threads when there is no information, people's imagination run wild and that is when it becomes unhealthy there, imo.

It is a good idea for everyone to watch their emotional level.  My son said to me tonight, I think you are working too hard, that means I am being affected by the kids too much and need to back off, he is extremely sensitive to changes in me and I trust him as my barometer.  I hope everyone has their own barometer as it is often hard to see it in yourself.

Thank you for your words of wisdom, IM.  There is no off-topic here in the thread and it was the perfect place to put it, try the Ban Clan thread, also (JSM's begging for the ban thread), people who read there will benefit from your words, too.

I would like to hear more of your story because it may help someone here learn how to kick other habits they have.  If it is too personal, I understand.

Did he get his favorite food for dinner? ::MonkeyHaHa::

I am getting back to my normal routine. ::MonkeyWink:: I am so glad we went to see MIL but was so happy to be home.

His birthday is today.  He will have pizza and we will go to the movies.  His Speech Therapist wants to come for cake and my parents want us to come and bring cake, as usual, we are pulled in several different directions.  SLP comes to my house 4 or 5 times a week and she is the one taking us to Disney, so this is not an easy decision.

Maybe we will go to my Parent's place (we are there at least once a week, this would make 3 times this week, so far) and stop and see SLP and her Mom on the way home.

Plans subject to change at any given moment.

I am glad you are home, too.  I really missed you being here. 

Now I just have to get an email that works so I can get to the wedding.  I am back on my old computer and cannot get my email.  My monkey email and the password is on my new computer, which does not work.

Ack!

Belated Happy birthday to the cub!  and soon he's going to Disney world.  Yay! 
Love Disney world.  It was years ago when my kids were little.  Think I enjoyed it more than my kids.  It was magical! - such a happy place to be.
Do they still have the magic light parade?  It was my favorite thing!

Thanks, Can!  Your wishes are not belated.  It was after midnight here when I wrote that.  Today is his birthday.

We have never been to Disney before, so everything is new to us.  I can't wait for the magic you describe.  My son's class will be going for their trip next year.  He is definitely nervous about next year, so this may be his Graduation field trip.  Due to developmental disabilities, he does not graduate until the year he turns 21.  He gets a 'fake' diploma next year (or so they tell me).

Dana is great!

Dana 'between the sheets' is a wonderful way to make that up.  His voice is so soothing, he is a pleasure to listen to, he also lets his guests speak, and no one yells 'bombshell.'  It is an interview and not a war zone.  Dana is a delight, whether you listen to him live or 'under the covers.'

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Everyone is so cheery here, that I hate to post it and get people in a sad mood. But... this is something in my mind that I wish to "unload" on you guys/gals.

The other day I was reading in a thread and someone mentioned feeling depressed over current cases of missing children.

More than once I have also read of people in tears while discussing cases, or looking at heart-wrenching posts or pictures.

I gotta share something with yahs.

I started discussing current real-crime cases online back in 2005, in America's Most Wanted community forum. At first I found it interesting, and I was excited to offer my opinion regarding such horrible things as missing people, or serial killers.

But, there came the time, after about a year, in which (without my realizing it) I became very depressed and I was in a state of constant emotional upset.

I found myself in tears while discussing cases, and real-crime cases were in my mind through all waking hours. I found myself recreating crimes in my mind at any time during the day.

In summary, it was just overwhelming.

When I realized that, I decided (for my own sanity) to take a break from the computer.

I went to Disney World for 5 days, to relax. After the second day there I found myself desperately seeking a computer connection to see if there were news on a missing child or if one of the serial killers had been caught.

I realized then that I was both addicted and emotionally affected by my involvement with the cases, and I needed help.

After that I started taking steps to ease the emotional toll of discussing the cases online.

First off, I stopped posting in AMW in 2008, mainly because discussing criminals is (to me) more overwhelming than discussing missing children. AMW has gone downhill since then, so I don't miss it.

I take breaks from the computer to ease the nerves. Trips to the movie theater, shopping, talking with family and neighbors. I have my computer connected mainly all day, but I don't get into it unless I'm feeling like it.

After I've seen what a missing child looks like, I do not look at his/her face again. It unnerves me so, to look into the face (particularly the eyes) of a missing child, knowing that he/she may be dead. It just hurts too much.

Let me summarize that some of the missing children cases are so horrible that immersing in them does cause major depression... specially if one is pron to depression in the first place.

I felt that I had to say this.

Remember, a missing child case needs clear and sharp monkey minds, not emotional wrecked monkeys.

God be.

:D

ItarylM.  I hear ya!  (Served on a jury.  A liitle girl lost her life.  It haunts you even in your dreams.  The needless loss of a child is heartbreaking and incomprehensible. Always.) 
Thank you for your caring. 
Stepping back from time to time for balance is a good thing.
Always enjoy YOUR clear and sharp monkey mind!   ::MonkeyGavel::

Dog Adopts Kitten
Ellie Takes Care Of Angie As If She Were Her Own

by Ray Arzate, CBS Atlanta Reporter

POSTED: 9:31 pm EDT October 19, 2010
UPDATED: 10:52 am EDT October 20, 2010

ATLANTA -- Ellie, just like any good watchdog, takes care of her owners. Now she's taking care of a kitten, as well.

Two weeks ago, Ellie found a friend in the back yard, a kitten by the name of Angie.

Since then, she has mothered Angie as if she was her own, including nursing and feeding her.

Ellie and Angie even have their own Facebook page.

So what's next for Ellie and Angie? Ellie's owners, Camille Henry and Mariryan Heschmeyer, say the cat is there to stay.

I just wanted to update everyone on Champ's improving condition. They have done such a wonderful job with him at Alaqua Animal Rescue. He has gain so much weight and even now has a pretty glow to his coat. Here is the most current picture of him taken on 10/13/10. He is a pretty boy.

I can't answer that question because I don't know. Champ is doing so wonderful in the care of the rescue. He has added so much weight and what a pretty coat he is wearing now.

I bet underneath there lives the heart of a hero. He will end up in a loving home where he will be number one in their lives. He will be someones most wonderful furkid. Now he just needs his own little child who will reach up and put their little arms around his neck and hug him. That is my boys favorite thing. To speak to babies and feel their little arms around his neck.

Just looking at that first picture makes me cry for the horror he lived through. But to see the new Champ no ones would recognize him as the same horse if they didn't know. What a beautiful soul he is.

OMG!

I can't stand people who get animals and then don't take proper care of them. Why would the owner of the horse get him in the first place, if he was going to neglect him so bad? It's not like the horse missed one meal or a bath.

Thank to the generosity and care of others he was rescued and brought to health.

Such an extreme case of abuse like this makes me think that some of us are just wired wrong.

If someone could help me with mashed potatoes.

During the past year I've made the transition between box spuds, and the real thing.

I've followed a few recipes, watched Paula, and even got a cooking book. But... nope!

My prob is .... I don't know. But, sometimes they come out looking and behaving like glue.

Sometimes, using the same recipe, they come out fine.

I tried figuring out why they come out like glue, and tried different variations and temps, kinds of milk (used 1/2&1/2, regular, and even cream).

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem, and how they fixed it. Thanks.

:D

I think it's the variety of potato you're using. I know my sister was doing french fries in a deep fryer and you could leave them in there forever and they wouldn't brown. Turns out she was using the wrong variety.

I always use russet potatoes when I make mashed potatoes which I do often.  When it's just for my husband and I, I use 2 potatoes that I've peeled and cut up in fairly small chunks.  Once the potatoes are fork soft, I drain the water, add margerine or butter and start mashing.  Normally for just the 2 of us I'll just use the hand masher.  I'll add a bit of milk a little at a time until I get the desire consistency.  They never come out like paste. 

I've found that Yukon Gold and some of the other potato varieties even though tasty are sometimes pastier.

I'll ... peel... my eye for the kind of potato.

The potatoes I have are large, but not the baking kind. I grab them at the store without even looking which kind they are... kinda grabbing whatever is a good buy.

I use the hand mixer, a suggestion of Alton Brown last year... haha!

The thing is that sometimes they come out fine.

But, will put more attention to the type of taters from now on.

Thanks.

I use russet potatoes too, but I've never used a recipe. I will say that it's pretty important to drain all the liquid after the potatoes are fork tender. I often set the pot back on the stove after pouring off the water for a minute before I start adding the butter and milk just to make sure the liquid is gone. That might help?

I think that russet's are usually the cheapest in the store when you buy a bag.  We don't eat that much so I'll get a 5lb bag which costs about $2.99.  A 10lb bag is $3.99 but we'd never eat them all before they go bad.  ::MonkeyCool::

I have never had my potatoes go bad. ::MonkeyHaHa:: Hubs is a meat and potatoes man. It's taken me years to get him to eat something besides that every night.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

ItarylMoosee Try and use russets and not the other kinds like everyone said. And not to over cook them. Even for big dinners I use the had smasher. When I use the electric mixer I get them gummy. I cook them to where a fork can go into them and drain and then add butter and mash them up good before I add the milk to get them the texture I want. You can do it. It just takes time and pactice.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Sometimes I sprinkle in a bit of parmesan cheese with my mashed potatoes.

If I have leftovers I will make potato patties next day.  Form into patties and fry in olive oil or butter until golden.  Hubby loves them.

Good morning Monkeys!

We have a kind monkey from OR, Wantkyhome, who visits Kyron's Wall of Hope regularly and is willing to take monkey messages for those of us that
would like to leave a message.

Klaas made a thread for this purpose.

They are good! We use them often at the office when we're fixing lunch. They even have the occasional small lump, which I like!! YUM!!!

I'll ... peel... my eye for the kind of potato.

The potatoes I have are large, but not the baking kind. I grab them at the store without even looking which kind they are... kinda grabbing whatever is a good buy.

I use the hand mixer, a suggestion of Alton Brown last year... haha!

The thing is that sometimes they come out fine.

But, will put more attention to the type of taters from now on.

Thanks.

:D

I see you have gotten good advise....use russet potatoes, cook til fork tender, drain and put back in the same pot to ensure all the water has evaporated. I use a hand masher if just making for DH and me....a hand mixer has always made mine gummy, I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 cream cheese and half and half.....until  we are more conscious of fats, now I use whipped butter and low fat cream cheese and fat free half and half. I think adding a little at a time is best. My DH likes some small lumps.

For some reason I have been on a sauerkraut kick...maybe because I've been visiting alot of German towns lately.  But I bet this recipe is good without it...it would be like having mashed potatoes with a thicker consistency with cheese and corned beef.  I will let ya know what I think about it as soon as its done!

I also made my cheesy ham and potatoes just in case it turns out gross  ::MonkeyHaHa::   

Always need a back-up plan!

yes! let me know how you like it..I love German food..all except sauerkraut...
my father made me eat it when I was a child ...I gagged all the way through it and then threw up for days afterwards... I was sooooo sick from it...could never bring myself to eat it again...

I wonder if Klaas and the moderators have a limit on the number of posts edited, moved, or deleted.

I myself have required assistance twice (maybe three times) this past week, so if there is a limit... I'm there.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and promise to be more careful in the future. My problem is that I open three or four windows (threads) at a time and sometimes (lately) I get a brain hiccup, and end up posting to the wrong thread.

I do have to say that the moderators are mighty alert and fast in assisting, which may not be good news for the troublemakers.

New species of monkey discovered in Northern Myanmar

(http://www.redorbit.com/modules/imglib/download.php?Url=/modules/news/upload/0d28c6b47cbdd193e5fb9301cb3481bb.jpg)

A new species of monkey, Rhinopithecus strykeri, was discovered in Northern Myanmar by an international team of primatologists from the group Fauna & Flora International.

A species of snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus strykeri has an upturned nose and sneezes when it rains. Sightings of the new monkey were reported from the eastern Himalayas to northeastern Kachin state. The discovery is detailed in the American Journal of Primatology.

The monkey was described as having a long tail and mostly blackish fur with white fur only on ear tufts, chin beard and perineal area.

In local dialect the monkey is called "mey nwoah" or "monkey with an upturned face."

An image reconstructed by Photoshop, based on a Yunnan snub-nosed monkey and the carcass of the newly discovered species, is also available. This image should be credited to Dr. Thomas Geissmann. Credit: Dr. Thomas Geissmann

Found the article.

The animal found was butchered for food by the natives, but it seems that whoever released the monkey picture got a picture of the dead snub-nosed monkey, and stuck its head on the body of a live monkey.

I imagine the person added color to its face, because the monkey on the first picture looks rosy-cheeked and pouty-lipped.

Warning: I edited monkey's body (erased private parts which are VERY prominent in the National Georgraphic picture).

Thanks for the links... checking them out.

I started using recyclable bags within the last six months. I First bought two huge ones from Sam's Club (to get a feel for non-disposable bags). They were big and sturdy, and plastic (easy to wipe clean,) and looked nice.

But, I soon lost them to my daughter, who found better uses for them: a beach bag, and a bag in which to carry her laptop bag (so the laptop bag doesn't get dirty.)

I went to buy a second set, but they were not selling the big plastic ones anymore, they switched to this material that looks like burlap but it's more like felt. But, I needed them so I got four.

Within three uses they all smelled like rotten mold.

They were black, so I couldn't wipe or wash them with Clorox. I washed them with soap and put them out to dry, but they were smelly again within a use or two, so I have sworn off them because in order to have hygienic ones, I would have to buy a new bag to replace the other after each use... which is not cheap, these bags are about $3 each.

So, I decided to be one of those evil hunchpeople who pollute the environment with plastic shopping bags, but it's not that I didn't try.

:(

That is really strange. What would cause them to smell? I have one large insulated bag and 5 smaller regular bags. The insulated bag is lined with plastic and the smaller ones have a removable hard plastic bottum. I guess they could be washed, but haven't had to in the year that I have had them. Haven't noticed any smell.
The only problem I had was forgetting them when I went to the store. Now I unload the groceries and put the bags right back into the car.

The insulated bag is lined with plastic and the smaller ones have a removable hard plastic bottum. I guess they could be washed, but haven't had to in the year that I have had them. Haven't noticed any smell.
The only problem I had was forgetting them when I went to the store. Now I unload the groceries and put the bags right back into the car.

The store brand ones I purchased broke (handles broke) or the little tab that you put over the metal bag holder thing when you are bagging your own breaks.  I found it was taking me too long to use the reusable bags, they didn't slip on or stay opened up nicely at the self check area.  I am all about speed and that's why I do the self checkout to begin with.  Also when I do self check I use about 1/2 the plastic bags they would because I fill each one up fuller.  That said, I am going to try again with new bags and see if I can get my speed up.  For me it's all about speed (sorry can't help myself   ::MonkeySlide:: )

I wondered about the smell too. I think I got it neared down to: oozing grocery, putting bags on dirty surfaces, bag baggers who got contaminated hands, humidity, unknown.

The cat getting into them when I'm not looking also can be a contributor.

I be darned!

It's 6:10pm right now, and I haven't got a kid trick or tricking yet. In years past by this time I would've been half down the candy basket.

The city decided to celebrate Halloween today, not tomorrow, but apparently the people want to do otherwise... celebrate tomorrow.

What a drag!

I wish ours was tonight, it would make more sense, than having it on what is really a school night. I don't live in the city, and we don't have that many. Just a few neighbors.

I got ambushed last night!!   ::MonkeyEek::

My Granny used to love Halloween! She just loved handing out the candy and always kept a writing tablet next to the front door so she could count "goblins". Back then, it wasn't unusual for us to have 150-200 kids. They came from all over, not just the neighborhood. ::MonkeyHaHa:: She lived with us in the same house my son lives now, and I agreed to hand out candy there so he and his wife-to-be could go out. The usual crowd there now is around 50 - 60 and I had bought plenty of candy; I THOUGHT!

Honestly, I was just getting a little concerned about the rate the bowl was going down, when the doorbell rang again. I opened the door to 8 goblins, with 4 more coming up through the yard. By the time the first 8 were treated, a whole van load of kids were let out in front of the house and they were running toward me!  ::MonkeyShocked:: Just as I was finishing with the cutest little cowboy I have EVER seen (he just had to show me his "Sith Shooter"), another gaggle of goblins rounded the corner from the driveway!  ::MonkeyHaHa::

There's always one or two kids that sticks with you, and for me, the little cowboy (maybe 3 yrs old?) met his match with a little princess in a Snow White costume of about the same age. I told her that I just adored her outfit, and asked her if she could tell me who she was dressed as. She just stood there, arms outstretched, holding her bag open, and shook her head "Yes".  ::MonkeyHaHa:: So, I held out the bowl to her and said, "Well, that deserves a treat...... what candy would you like best? She looked carefully and said, "Buddewfingews!" So I put a handful of Butterfingers in her bag, and off she ran....... AND just as she crossed the sidewalk, and without turning around, she yelled, "I'M A PRINCESS!!"   ::MonkeyHaHa::

A neighbor, who had a hubby to cover while she made a mad dash for more candy, picked up some for me too, so I made it without running out. I turned out the lights at 9:00 sharp or I would have been out, and there were still kids and cars everywhere! I lost count when rushed, but I think I served 164 Trick or Treaters this year. Go figure! Next year, I'll buy more......

Hope everyone had a Great Pumpkin Night, and if it doesn't happen for you until today, BUY MORE CANDY!!    ::MonkeyTongue::

Thanks for the links... checking them out.

I started using recyclable bags within the last six months. I First bought two huge ones from Sam's Club (to get a feel for non-disposable bags). They were big and sturdy, and plastic (easy to wipe clean,) and looked nice.

But, I soon lost them to my daughter, who found better uses for them: a beach bag, and a bag in which to carry her laptop bag (so the laptop bag doesn't get dirty.)

I went to buy a second set, but they were not selling the big plastic ones anymore, they switched to this material that looks like burlap but it's more like felt. But, I needed them so I got four.

Within three uses they all smelled like rotten mold.

They were black, so I couldn't wipe or wash them with Clorox. I washed them with soap and put them out to dry, but they were smelly again within a use or two, so I have sworn off them because in order to have hygienic ones, I would have to buy a new bag to replace the other after each use... which is not cheap, these bags are about $3 each.

So, I decided to be one of those evil hunchpeople who pollute the environment with plastic shopping bags, but it's not that I didn't try.

 LOL I read your post about Halloween, yesterday, LOL, I kept saying to myself, Did I miss Halloween?  Then I read the date (Oct.30) and it sort of made sense...hysterically funny, changing Halloween:) Did you eat all the candy?  I ate two bags of
Nestles "fun size" bars and one bag of "fun size" Junior Mints.

A IGA grocery store sells "insulated grocery bag totes" really nice, good for summer or anytime. The outside is canvas and inside the tote is silver insulated quilting, very impressive.


I keep double bags in the car, (paper in plastic). I bag everything from the shopping cart, before, I place the groceries in the
car.  

Happy Halloween, I hope you get a lot of Princesses, Star Wars little guys,  ::rhino::

There was some debate in the city whether to celebrate it Saturday or Sunday, with Sunday being a church day and school night, so the city voted to celebrate on Saturday.

But, I think the kids are being smart... going to city/businesses/church parties last night and going house to house tonight... double dipping.

At least I hope so. If that is not the case, I'm going to be stuffing my face with "sun sizes" too, until next Easter.

Just when I was considering going on a diet.

 CBB, if you see this, I have a question for you.  I am in the area this week and will be going to the courthouses to do genealogy research.  I have no problem with Jefferson Co, Green Co, Grainger Co., but Washington Co. doesn't make sense to me.  Says the old courthouse houses part of the records but Johnson City houses the other part of the records (marriages, deeds, wills etc.).  Does that sound right to you?  Is it hard to get around Johnson City?  I am trying to put together a map to see how many I can hit in one or two days (hubby will pass out when he sees what I have in store for him starting tomorrow).  Thanks.  Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi Blue Moon!  ::MonkeyDance::

My guess is that since Jonesborough is zoned a Historic District, that they couldn't enlarge the courthouse to accomodate all the records. Johnson City isn't hard to navigate, and if you would be going to the courthouse there, it's in a relatively low traffic area, downtown. Do you have a Garmin or such? Some of the streets are one way in the downtown area and that's the only thing I can think of that might be a little confusing, but it's no big deal and easy to find. Johnson City is about the size of Kingsport, but has a better by-pass where a lot of business growth has occurred. It's drawn away a lot of traffic from the area you'll be going to. If you go to Jonesborough first, you'll be going by the University and Medical School, but it's pretty much a straight shot. If you take I26 from Kingsport to Johnson City, you'll just take the downtown exit. Either way, it's easy.

I hope this helps, Blue Moon! Enjoy the rummaging! Oh! I'm sure you've eaten in Jonesborough, so I won't make a suggestion, but if you end up in Johnson City at lunchtime, Firehouse BarBQ is close by and it's good!  ::MonkeyWink::

Thanks CBB.  Makes sense about Jonesborough court house being in Historic district.  I have my map ready.  First is Dandridge courthouse (I love the quaintness of Dandridge).  Next is Greene Co (Greenville) and then on to Grainger Co.  All of this in one day.  Next day is on to Jonesborough.  They should be able to direct me to what I need in Johnson City. Will keep Firehouse BBQ in mind (although Jonesborough has a LOT of good places to eat also).  The weather is great and I just broke my plan to my hubby.  He didn't pass out.  He is a good sport.  Told me to direct him and we will get there.  He is a keeper.   ::piggy::  ::MonkeyGavel::   I still say you live in God's country.

I am not ready for November, not yet.

I am still stuck on CBB and her comment that she was Ambushed on Halloween  ::MonkeyBike::

That made me laugh, I do have recall of being ambushed before, handing out Candy and running out - when you had enough for a small elementary school, and the kids just kept coming...
..Then you start digging in the pantry for " granola bars" or your purse for quarters.. apples in the fridge ..
 
LOL .. oh I just snorted. O.M.G.  Kids today would take anything .. I remember being very peeved as a kid when someone gave me - a nickle. Or I was forced to carry a donation box - that was very then, in the 70's. To carry a Unicef Box, a child being 6, 7, 8 yrs old - Please donate to my Unicef box - Um takes the fun out a bit, from Halloween. Arggh. Roah.
When I was given pennies/nickles or an Apple, I was like " Are you kidding me"  I never ate half or near what I was able to receive..  when I was able to drop my goods to my parents on the living room floor - My Mother would be the first in line ( Yes) to take her pickings .. not kidding. I missed many Halloweens ( It seemed that Oct was my sick month/why I don't have a clue/ I would never be sick any other month) 
I would sit on the floor with my brother - my Mom on her knees .. going through out our candy load "pillow cases".. Her checking for razor blades what have you primary ..and then her Grabbing her goodies ..
We always knew - MOM gets all the Milky Ways and anything of Good N Plenty - Anything of black licorice. Was hers.
My yums were Juicy fruits " yellow box"  or red licorice and GUM. Gum though had to be Bazooka or Double Bubble. My only other favorite was Charm's sweet/sour suckers - everything else was ..take it away .. me no likey. Never have I been a chocolate fan.  The only chocolate bar that I liked was never in Halloween Candy and that was a Heath bar/or Hershey's Dark.

When I was to take my Daughter out for Trick or treating " it was prepared for 2 weeks+ in advance the costumes"- Oh I would go all out on her costumes/ her hair/her makeup- was always planned out. I always dressed up with her. Was so much fun. We would get crazy with the costumes.. go out to the houses and trick or treat .. It was about the " Journey" About the costume - about the celebration .. the Candy was just an add. I would take all her Candy and put it into this large yellow bowl. I would keep it on top of the Fridge for the first few days.. because I knew she would eat it like crazy,  "because it would call her " and she never begged or wanted it, was not a punishment. She is not a sugar kid. After the first few days ..it was left behind. Not even a thought. Then would come December ..and I would pitch the entire bowl.. sad but true. If anyone has ever paid attention to the " smell" of Candy left in a bowl after Halloween " all scents" together ..its EWE..  Worse than a fake candle with synthetic " aroma" .. its always the same smell. I could smell it at my local drug stores near this last week ..since they have had Halloween Candy on the shelves since " late Aug/ early/ Sept".  .. Now all the stores are in full Christmas .. skipped Thanksgiving.. its no longer..its on 75% off right now. Anything FALL is on Clearance.

Its all Evergreens/Christmas lights and Christmas candles  -

And I have to VOTE Today - for my New Governor and State Proposals - Seats etc 

Wow, If only people were given this much,  "Political Marketing in August" - " SEE this, Its Everywhere" Read this, Its Important" Here is " In your Face"  "Pay attention to " The Proposals are coming in NOV- giving us months of break down .. prior to Voting ..to GET IT .. first. ?????
Placed out in increments ..of this proposal is, this proposal is that .. Maybe one Proposal would be " considered" and understood - prior to standing at a Poll Box -
with " language for all to understand "

It really is a pxss poor example for " all considered" - I had to go online and find the proposals for me to Vote upon tomorrow, for my local and State - I did it 3 wks ago. I still do not understand them.  I have read them.  They are so poorly written ( no shock) and I don't know how to vote on them.  Its so disturbing.  It truly is. Its like a Catch 22. Sort of like old stale Halloween Candy. It sits for a long time, and it all starts to smell and you don't know whether to eat it - or throw it away..

I know One Thing, I am voting Republican Synder for my State. I voted R last term, anything to get Granholm out of office.   I have had enough of Demo Jenny. She blew us away alright. She destroyed what was left of our Automation/Automotive/Manufacturing within our Great Lake State.  She is Obama's next greatest find .. beware .. he has plans for her. Her and her Mole.

Halloween/Politics and a Mole -could be politics, being politically correct, or not ~ I guess it depends on what side your on or which side owns you.

Morning Deenie, I agree about politics and voting. The only thing I can say is that I couldn't wait to vote yes on an Oregon measure to put SO behind bars for a much longer time. That same measure also included drunk drivers. I also signed the petition to get it on the ballot. How could anyone vote no?

Voting for our new Governor was a little tougher. Only because of the choices we were given this year.

I will say that I'm glad it is over today. I am so tired of all the phone calls. Oh yes vote for me.

I voted last week by mail so the pressure was off.

Now the bad news, we are heading into the battle for our next president. Next year they will start lining up for the battle. They will begin stating their agendas and asking for our votes.

I will between now and then enjoy watching the cute commercials on TV but then they will once again start to slip away as politics take their spots. Dang!

Now getting excited about Thanksgiving and looking forward to Christmas traditions.

The candidates offer the moon and the stars, and paint the opponent as a God-nabbit crook, and when elected they just sit on their expensive leather chairs, and don't do much at all but smile pretty.

Then on the background they be taking kickbacks and ripping the public off, and only apologize when they get caught.

But, we need a change.

Our economy and everything else is bad and hopefully the polls will give us good people (as good as a politician can be) to give us results.

In many races the republican candidates are ahead, which could be a good thing. I mean, it took a republican to get us in the mess our country is in, so it may take a republican to get us out.

At least, I hope so.

:D

p.s. Sorry for the pol comment, remove is inappropriate.

Morning Deenie, I agree about politics and voting. The only thing I can say is that I couldn't wait to vote yes on an Oregon measure to put SO behind bars for a much longer time. That same measure also included drunk drivers. I also signed the petition to get it on the ballot. How could anyone vote no?

Voting for our new Governor was a little tougher. Only because of the choices we were given this year.

I will say that I'm glad it is over today. I am so tired of all the phone calls. Oh yes vote for me.

I voted last week by mail so the pressure was off.

Now the bad news, we are heading into the battle for our next president. Next year they will start lining up for the battle. They will begin stating their agendas and asking for our votes.

I will between now and then enjoy watching the cute commercials on TV but then they will once again start to slip away as politics take their spots. Dang!

Now getting excited about Thanksgiving and looking forward to Christmas traditions.



Hi Lazydog! I voted today too! In my neighborhood, it's a social event.  ::MonkeyHaHa:: Seriously! People bring baked goods and lay a spread out on a table, complete with paper plates and napkins! People coming to vote always stop by the snack table before they sign in. Nobody asks WHO anyone is voting for and the snacks are for everybody, regardless of party affiliation, but there's a lot of "catching up on the neighbors" at my voting location.

Five ways your cell phone can save you
By Elizabeth Cohen, CNN Senior Medical Correspondent
November 4, 2010 8:42 a.m. EDT

(CNN) -- Follow the blue path.

Those were the directions from triathlon organizers to competitor Leigh Fazzina as she ended the swim portion of the race in Farmington, Connecticut, and set out on the eight-mile bike ride last summer. Fazzina tried to follow the bumpy dirt path in the middle of the dense woods, looking up for the blue arrows, looking down to make sure she didn't hit any large roots or rocks.

But after about 15 minutes, Fazzina didn't see any blue arrows, and she didn't see any other bikers, either. As the sun began to set, she pedaled faster and faster, trying to find a way out of the woods.

That's when her bike hit a huge tree root, and Fazzina somersaulted high over her handles, crashed onto her left shoulder and rolled down a hill, her bike hitting her on its way down. Bruised and banged up, she yelled out for help, but no one responded. She hobbled over to her bike and grabbed her BlackBerry out of the pouch under her seat.

"I called my cousin and it kept saying 'connecting, connecting, but it wouldn't connect,' " she says. She tried to call again. "Then I looked at the signal and noticed I only had one bar."

Fazzina, 36, then remembered Twitter. She used it often in her work in her health care communications firm. She knew it might work even though a call wouldn't.

At around 7 p.m. that day in July, she tweeted, "I've had a serious injury and NEED Help! Can someone please call Winding Trails in Farmington, CT tell them I'm stuck bike crashed in woods."

Within minutes, no fewer than six of her Twitter followers called the Farmington police, among them a medical student in Royal Oak, Michigan, a lab manager in Toronto, Ontario, and a fellow health care communications executive in the Middle East country of Oman.

It's amazing what 140 characters can do: EMTs arrived 18 minutes after Fazzina's first tweet, just as darkness was descending.

Fazzina chronicled her accident on her blog, and one of her Twitter followers, Steve Woodruff, posted Fazzina's tweets on his blog.

"I knew I'd get instant, serious help from the network I'm connected to on Twitter," says Fazzina, who has her own public relations firm in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and some 1,500 followers on Twitter.

"There's so much technology out there, and we should take advantage of it," she says. "Cell phones can do so many things. A friend of mine just bought a new BlackBerry and she hasn't put any apps on it, and I said, 'Why'd you buy it?' "

Whether you own a BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, or just a cell phone, there are applications and other tools you can use to turn your device into a safety tool. Here are a few suggestions.

1. Program your cell so people can find you

If you're lying unconscious somewhere, how would anyone locate you? Verizon, Sprint and AT&T all have locators where you can find members of your family.

In addition, you can do a search on iTunes for applications that use your smartphone's GPS to let you know where you are.

2. Put your "in case of emergency" contact into your cell phone

The trick here is to put your "ICE" information into your cell in as big and obvious a way as possible. After all, emergency workers are busy trying to save you and can't be spending precious moments browsing through your phone.

Connie Meyer, the incoming president of the National Association of EMTs, suggests putting the "ICE" information into your contact list under "ICE."

"Most EMTs know to look for that," says Meyer, a paramedic and registered nurse. "And make sure your ICE contact is someone who really knows your medical history."

Dr. Assaad Sayah, chief of emergency medicine for the Cambridge Health Alliance in Massachusetts, has another suggestion. Many cell phones have a place for information about the owner, such as your name and number, and you can also put your ICE information there.

ICE information is especially important for children, says Sayah, because in many cases, emergency rooms can't treat a child without consent from parents.

"If someone's sprained an ankle or something else that's not life-threatening, we can't even give pain medication until we get permission from the parents," he says.

You can put an ICE sticker on your phone to alert emergency workers that your contact is inside.

There's one problem with all these options: If you password-protect your phone, emergency workers can't find any of this because your phone will be locked.

3. Put your medical information on your cell

If you have a particular medical condition or are taking certain drugs, emergency workers need to know. You can put that information in the same place as your ICE contact, and you can also get an app that stores it.

Choose an app that puts the information (or an icon leading to it) on the front screen of your phone so it's easy to find. Jared makes one for your BlackBerry and Polka makes one that goes on the front screen of your iPhone, which will work even if your phone is locked.

However, be aware that an old-fashioned, low-tech approach may be best here. Meyer says EMTs will more quickly notice a medical alert bracelet or necklace than anything on your cell phone.

"We're focused on the patient, and so wouldn't be able to spend a whole lot of time looking for information on the phone," she says. "There are so many various phones out there we wouldn't know where to look."

4. Get an app that teaches you first aid and CPR

Several groups, including the American Heart Association, have an app for that.

5. Find help nearby

Several apps, such as iTriage or DocGPS, will direct you to the nearest emergency room.

Nicest Canadian couple in world dole out lottery winnings
By Liz Goodwin liz Goodwin Thu Nov 4, 1:27 pm ET
A retired Canadian couple who won $11.3 million in the lottery in July have already given it (almost) all away.

"What you've never had, you never miss," 78-year-old Violet Large explained to a local reporter.

She was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer when the couple realized they'd won the jackpot in July.

"That money that we won was nothing," her tearful husband, Allen, told Patricia Brooks Arenburg of the Nova Scotia Chronicle Herald. "We have each other."

The money was a "headache," they told the paper--mainly, it brought anxiety over the prospect that "crooked people" might take advantage of them. Several people called them out of the blue to ask for money when the news first broke that they'd won the jackpot. So they began an $11 million donation spree to get rid of it and help others, the Chronicle Herald reports:


They took care of family first and then began delivering donations to the two pages' worth of groups they had decided on, including the local fire department, churches, cemeteries, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, hospitals in Truro and Halifax, where Violet underwent her cancer treatment, and organizations that fight cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes. The list goes on and on.

Violet told the Canadian Press that they retained about 2 percent of the money for a rainy day.

"It made us feel good," Violet told the Chronicle Herald. "And there's so much good being done with that money."

The Nova Scotia couple have been married more than 35 years and quietly saved up the money that Allen made as a welder and Violet made in retail before retiring.

"We haven't spent one cent on ourselves because we've been too busy getting everything looked after and with my health, I have to wait to get my health back to get the energy to do anything," Violet told the National Post. "We're not travelers anyway. We live in the country and we're proud of it. Money can't buy you health or happiness."

Now their neighborhood is abuzz over their good deeds.

"People who know them just know that's the type of people they are—they're just happy to have each other," local restaurant owner Lori Hingley told the Canadian Press.

The prize was in Canada dollars (roughly equal to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates).

We have a kind monkey from OR, Wantkyhome, who visits Kyron's Wall of Hope regularly and is willing to take monkey messages for those of us that
would like to leave a message.

Klaas made a thread for this purpose.

Thank you Can! ::MonkeyAngel::
I hope everyone can give me a message for the wall. I will laminate it before I attach it to the wall. The family loves the prayers, especially. I've taken a few poems there too. I know they appreciate anything we do for them. I've spoken to Kaine, Desiree and Kaine's mother. They all expressed how they feel about the outpouring of love and prayers they have received!  :smt056

Calif. Mother I.D.'s Missing Daughter's Bracelet

Published November 07, 2010 | Associated Press

FULLERTON, Calif. -- The mother of a Southern California woman who vanished almost 10 years ago said Saturday a bracelet found on recently unearthed remains belonged to her daughter.

Nancy Ekelund of Fullerton told The Associated Press that she had met with a coroner's investigator and instantly recognized the gold-link bracelet she had given as a present to her daughter Lynsie Ekelund, a 20-year old Fullerton College student who disappeared in 2001.

CBB, I want to tell you about my visits to the area courthouses in TN.  First day we went to Dandridge courthouse.  Jefferson Co. is where I have found my ancestors after they left Shenandoah Co., VA.  An old man was working the computer and he was so nice and funny.  I worked with him and between the 2 of us we finally found the marriage records I was looking for.  In the meantime another volunteer (woman) was busy getting microfilm of 2 deeds I needed.  Bless them--they are volunteers and they were so nice.  I love them for what they do to help people.

Next we went to Grainger Co. (Rutledge, TN).  First went to the courthouse.  Went inside and NO ONE was there.  The courthouse was empty, all lights were on, all computers on, but no one was there.  Went across the street and asked at the Minit Mart where the records were located and she said they had sent them all over to the old high school as they did not have room in the courthouse.  Went down the road and inside there.  Same as Dandridge-they had 2 volunteers and they worked with me and got the copies I needed.  Talked to them about the courthouse being empty and everything wide open and she asked me if I thought that was strange because they didn't-that is what they do when they go to lunch. We got a laugh out of them for that.

Next day it was on to Jonesborough courthouse.  Old courthouse.  Send us down in the basement (spooky place) and turned me loose on what records they had there.  Most of the old State of Franklin records were there (1780's) and I spent quite a bit of time going through them. No luck though.  Found out they had sent the other half of their records over to the new Justice Center so we did not have time to go there.  Next we went to Greene Co. (Greenville, TN) courthouse.  We had to empty my purse and hubby had to empty pockets, take off watch, belt, etc and go through their metal detector before they would let us in.  Went upstairs and was told their records had been removed to a genealogy building down the street about a block.  Went there and worked with two volunteers there.  It was here that helped me the most-not that I found the records I needed but that the old lady helped me figure out WHY I could not locate what I needed.  My ancestors lived on Indian Creek in southern part of Jefferson Co. and it is right on the border of Cocke County (Newport, TN) and probably the remainder of the records I am looking would be there EXCEPT their courthouse burned in 1879 and they lost every record in the building with that fire.  SO I give up on trying to find my GG Grandfathers marriage record as it was probably there.  We drove over to Newport where Indian Creek is so I at least got to see where he lived.

I have never meet such nice, kind people in all my life.  I so enjoyed working with these people.  They are dedicated to helping total strangers and they do not get paid for it.  I did donate to each location for their time and energy and they so appreciated it. 

Just thought you would like to know how it went.  It was my B'day Thursday and I had told my husband visiting those courthouses was what I really wanted for my b'day and he drove me all over for 2 days to give me my b'day present.  I so enjoyed it.

BlueMoon, it sounds like you had a wonderful, if not altogether fruitful, time! It also sounds as though you were given enough to continue the quest, so you have more to look forward to! Believe it or not, one of the Physicians in the clinic lives in Greeneville and drives to Duffield every day! I'm very familiar with the area and go at least once each Summer and Fall to get beans or tomatoes to can. There's a wonderful area on the Nolichucky river that is littered with fresh produce stands and markets and a really wonderful Amish Store. Like you, I have always found everyone to be extremely friendly and helpful. I'm so glad you had a good Birthday! It sounds like you have a pretty special hubby, too! Let me add my belated birthday wishes for you for a terrific year to come with lots of "happy hunting" new adventures!

History of Veterans Day

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

n November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"

The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.

The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:

Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and

Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its place the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first "Veterans Day Proclamation" which stated: "In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward this end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible."

On that same day, President Eisenhower sent a letter to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs (VA), designating him as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.

In 1958, the White House advised VA's General Counsel that the 1954 designation of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level department, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has served as the committee's chairman.

The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and commercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates.

The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming majority of state legislatures, all major veterans service organizations and the American people.

Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Hi Monkeys,

This got my attention! There is so much good in the world, but, there is also so much evil, too.

Catholic Bishops: More Exorcists Needed 



 ::MonkeyDevil::
AP NEW YORK (Nov. 12) -- Citing a shortage of priests who can perform the rite, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops are holding a conference on how to conduct exorcisms.

The two-day training, which ends Saturday in Baltimore, is to outline the scriptural basis of evil, instruct clergy on evaluating whether a person is truly possessed, and review the prayers and rituals that comprise an exorcism. Among the speakers will be Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston, Texas, and a priest-assistant to New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan.

"Learning the liturgical rite is not difficult," DiNardo said in a phone interview before the conference, which is open to clergy only. "The problem is the discernment that the exorcist needs before he would ever attempt the rite." More...

Oh, this is SO Cool!!   ::MonkeyDance:: ( I think this was from last year, but hey, what a great idea!)


Just this past weekend, shoppers at the the Macy's in Philadelphia (the old Wanamaker building) were surprised when over 600 choristers who were there mingling with regular shoppers suddenly burst into Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. It's pretty awesome.

The Opera Company of Philadelphia was instrumental in bringing it together to perform one of the Knight Foundation's "1000 Random Acts of Culture" which they'll be doing over the next three years across the country. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ - the world's largest pipe organ - the singers burst into song at exactly noon.

A she's adorable
B she's so beautiful
C she's a pocket full of Charms
D she's delightful
E she's exciting
F she's a feather in your arms!

(My Dad used to sing that to my son when he was a baby. I hadn't thought of it in years, but your little one and that smile brought it back............ she owns that song, Klaas!) Here's the rest of it:

G you look good to me
H you're so heavenly
I I adore you so
J we're like Jack and Jill
K you're so kissable
L you're the lovelight in my eye

M, N, O, P.......... I could go on all day
Q, R, S. T.......... Alphabetically speaking, You're OK

U make my life complete
V means you're very sweet

WXYZ
Oh, I love to go through
The alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me!

Thank you ladies...after seeing all the other adorable ones, I couldn't help myself.

CBB...Yes I want to scoop him up and not let go!I am so blessed to have 9! I should not complain(but I do anyway) that the little one and his 3 siblings live sooooo far from me. I may not approve of the circumstances or situation...so I pray a lot! I also hold on to the ones who live in the house a lot!
Hubby gets to get routed that way in the truck on occasion and gives them all hugs, looks like I get to hop on and head down between Christmas and New Year.     ::MonkeyDance::   The restaurant I work at closes during that time.

Hi GE! She's doing fine right now (knock on wood). I do a visual check every day for growths all around her lower half, which is where the problems have been, and she's clean.  ::MonkeyDance:: She's eating well and hasn't lost weight, and she's alert and active when something interests her or she wants something. She still runs like the wind outside at deer or any critter wandering into the yard. She sleeps more than she used to and more soundly, making her worthless as a watchdog, but she's old for a Shar Pei, so that's nothing to worry about. She has no limp at all from the surgeries, and the only thing that I can detect is a slight change in how she climbs the stairs. No one else would even notice. She still jumps up on the bed every night while I'm on the computer, and then readjusts so that she's against me when I get in bed. I feel very Blessed and fortunate, even if she's not a human baby!  ::MonkeyTongue:: Thanks for asking GE! She's my girl and I love her dearly.

We had some excitement here tonight. Seems the toaster some how came on while a dish towel was across the top and caught the dish towel on fire.   ::MonkeyNoNo:: Grandson walks into the kitchen and ask how come the toaster is smoking?  I thought WTH. ::MonkeyHaHa:: Ran into the kitchen and sure enough there was smoke rolling out from under it. Unplugged the toaster threw the dish towel in the sink and turned on the water. But I have no idea how the toaster got turned on.  There was no one in the kitchen.  ::MonkeyEek::

Well if Bear had been to GE's in the last couple days, good possiblity he could have jinxed her toaster, he's a walking wrecking ball....If it ain't broke, give him 5 minutes and it will be!  If it wasn't so cold out, would take Huggy and sleep in the travel trailer, but Bear shorted out the electricity fixing something in it!!!!


 ::MonkeyHaHa::LMAO, how long have you two been together?  Has he always been like this? ::MonkeyDevil:: ::MonkeyDevil::
38 unforgettable years, and yes, he's always been like this........After he ATTEMPTS to fix, its always, lets just go buy a new one......Thank goodness for GE's hubs, he seems to always find a way to fix most of the costly Bear screwups!

She's SO excited about her wedding favors! She found candles in the shape of a wedding dress. I'm sure her excitment will only be matched by the men attending the wedding who will receive them.   :roll:

OMG, San!!!

Haha!

My whole family loves that show, has for the past five years.

When DWTS came to town I had to take a few family members to watch, specially the 7 year old whose hero is... "Tony The Balony"

I've been reading the comments on abcnews.com and on the DWTS forum, and NOBODY realizes that Maks lost fan votes when he argued with Caria Ann. If you remember, he was in "jeopardy" the next day... they didn't get many votes after that.

Maks is a good dancer, but somewhat of a diva, and he lost Brandy a finalist spot for blabbing to CAI, and later on blabbing in interviews.

Bristol may have the tea-party votes, but the final results is determined more from the judges that viewers votes.

Bristol has improved, and she deserved the "9's" she got in the last shows. But, she is not "there" yet... and it's the finals.

:D

p.s.
News about a guy shooting his television set, and holding the police on a standoff for a day because of DWTS results, are grossly exaggerated.

Itaryl Moosee I agree that Max did hurt himself.  He needs to stop mouthing off to the judges.  But I also think that Bristol Palin's mothers following has influenced the judging.  Bristol Palin should have been voted off three weeks ago.

It will be intersting to watch the finals.  One thing that Bristol has going for her is her partner Mark.  He is an excellent dancer and knows what to expect in the finals.

I have enjoyed watch Jennifer dance because after all she is 50 years old.  But she does get on my nerves also with her crying.

Brandi would have been good in the finals because she is a good freestyle dancer.  But I don't think Max is as good as a choreographer as Derek and Mark.

I'm going to say this as nicely as I can.

Bristol Palin can't dance
Bristol Palin is not a star
What the heck is Bristol doing on the show to begin with?

Therefore, the show is a joke IMO (might as well be watching Ghost Hunters).  I don't watch it but I do check on Youtube to view the actual talented dancers (Jennifer Grey).  Even though I don't watch the show I will be voting on Monday for Jennifer.

I have to admit that I, too, can't get into this show....my aunt and many others love it, but although I tried to watch it in the past, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I agree with Klaas about Bristol and some of the past contestants.  It's at a point where they probably can't get real 'stars' to do the show.  My vote will be for Jennifer, as well.  You don't put baby in the corner.....

Bristol's on the show because she was asked to be and there's been lots of other people on the show just because they have name recognition, like Tom Delay. I don't blame her for accepting and if there's blame to be found for political support boosting her stay, I think those who made the decision to invite her should be questioned about that instead of her. I'm not aware that her Mom has asked anybody to vote for her daughter. I honestly think people voting for Jennifer is a fair concept because Jennifer is the best and also does Bristol a favor as a side effect. She's under a lot of criticism for just doing the best she can and she can't control the vote. I'm not sure what she could have done except what she has: work hard and do her best and her last performance was evidence of that. I suppose an argument could be made that if people were prone to vote for her because of her Mom or the Tea Party, then others would be prone to vote against her for the same reason. Sarah's popularity ratings are less than 50%.

Afternoon  my Monkey friends, thought this was a cute one, probably been around the net a thousand times, but what do I remember!

                             WATCH OUT FOR FAIRIES 

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding

 anniversary in a quiet, romantic  little restaurant.

 Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy  appeared on their table. She said,

 'For being such an exemplary  married couple and for being loving to each

 other for all this time, I  will grant you each a wish.'

 The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling

 husband.

 The fairy waved her magic wand and -  poof! - two tickets for the

 Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.


 The husband thought for a moment:

 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will

 never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30

 years younger than me.

 
 The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.

 So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92 years old.

 The moral of this story:   Men who are ungrateful b@*tards should remember

 fairies are female.....

Brandi would have been good in the finals because she is a good freestyle dancer.  But I don't think Max is as good as a choreographer as Derek and Mark.

Well, Bristol is not the athletic type, so I can't wait to see what she and mark will do for "freestyle."

Hopefully she won't break Mark's back having to lift her up high, or having to catch her.

Two persons who I think are happy Bristol made it to the finals: Jennifer and Kyle.

--------

One thing that people forget is how the voting works. When there are two couples left on the final show, they have a "dance-off" and the judges in the studio decide who wins, not the voters at home.

Quote
During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.

Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) and online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone and text lines will stay open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until 11am (Eastern Time) the next day.

In the Dancing with the Stars Results Show, the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the competition. The scoring is divided evenly between the judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.

Viewers can vote via phone, text message or online for their favorites ONLY on the night they perform.

http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/about-voting

p.s.
My final thought on this, since I know some people are mighty sensitive about it.

I don't want anyone shooting their computer monitor.

Haha!

Klaas - It looks like Petey has short hair, does he have any trouble with allergies or flea drops such as Advantix?  Two of mine have longer hair and they are fine, although the short hair one has problems with the drops and allergies all year long.  I have to give her cortisone shots every 2 weeks and it helps for a few days - then it's back to itching like crazy.

Sarah's popularity ratings are less than 50%.

Anyway, San, my vote will be with yours; for Jennifer Grey! I got hooked last season with Nicole and Dereck....... Jennifer's good but OMG, I loved watching Nicole!!


I loved watching Nicole, too (dance, not fret, she drives herself too hard).

I agree about Palin, people actually booed her Mom, so I don't think she is getting votes from her Mom's supporters.  I have enjoyed watching her come into her own and try really hard.  She also talks like a daughter of any Mom, and does not throw accolades her way on a regular basis.  I believe she was a last minute replacement for someone.

I have not seen much this season, but I don't watch TV.  My son and I watch part of a DVD each night together.  The only show I will watch is DWTS, but on the computer.  Can someone tell me how to watch it on Youtube?  Do you just search for it, or is there someone whose YTs you really like to watch?  Thanks.

Jennifer is a good dancer.  The only thing that bothers me about her was Patrick S's wife being shocked at all the drama from her first dance.  Is she just over-emotional or is it just for the show?  

I enjoy getting to know people I would not ordinarily get to know, so in a way it gets to be a "family."  That is the wrong word, but I cannot think of the word at the moment.  Like SM, we are more of a family, because we are all a part.  With DWTS, we are only spectators.

There are several of the professional dancers I have enjoyed getting to know, others not so much.  I enjoy the judges reactions when they like someone, especially when one vote does not go along with another.

One person I did not enjoy watching was Kate (+8).

Max doesn't do anything for me, either.

Klaas - It looks like Petey has short hair, does he have any trouble with allergies or flea drops such as Advantix?  Two of mine have longer hair and they are fine, although the short hair one has problems with the drops and allergies all year long.  I have to give her cortisone shots every 2 weeks and it helps for a few days - then it's back to itching like crazy.



I'm not klaas but I will tell you that my dog has problems with allergies.  They start every Spring and Fall.  She gets really bad.  Her paws and eyes and face get really red.  We took her to the vet and he prescribed her pills but they don't work.  Finally he has to give her a shot and it eases up some.  She will be like this until the really first cold day comes and they she will get better.  She is a pitbull and she has short hair.

Jennifer is a good dancer but I have steadily grown to dislike her..She is playing the sympathy card every week with her whining..and the Patrick Swayze thing..If Heather Mills can dance with one leg and never bring up how painful it must have been when she was dancing and doing somersaults almost with her prosthetic leg, Jennifer needs to shut up jmo..and I am not a Heather Mills fan at all but did admire what she did on the show...
Bristol is terrible and it ticks me off that she keeps getting voted on...Her mom has the nerve to blast Idol for their  no singing talent but yet praise her own daughter who has consistently been in the lowest scoring with the judges every week...doesn't make sense..jmo...

my dog also gets allergies until the first cold day ...vet says that it is from the grass...don't know but it starts every year like clockwork around August until right about now...same with us,,,shot helps just briefly...sigh..benedryl (sp) helps but not a lot...

Sister's dog is allergic to grass and scratches so much she has hair loss. They give her oatmeal shampoo baths weekly to help her skin and she gets 1 tsp unsulfered molasses mixed in her food for her hair loss. The shots don't really help her.
They also put puppy pads on the cement driveway at the side of the house so that she is kept off the grass.

Hey IM  ::MonkeyTongue::
You want an honest opinion about the iPad?  I love it, mostly for Shopping! And it's great for reading too. My favorite part is the touch screen and enlarging pictures especially when shopping online!  You still need a computer though to do updates and such on iTunes at least that's what I think the Mac guy said!  DH bought me a Mac Air last year and I love it but the iPad is great for on your lap. It doesn't get hot and that is a big plus. It is super fun to play games on and I never really played games before. My kids loaded it up with all their stuff and I can barely keep them off of it. Lol

If I could only have one, I'd pick my MacAir, but I would hate to give this one up. I got a keyboard charger combo and should be using it because that makes it even more awesome. I just was being lazy as my doggy is sick and I am trying to keep him happy which means not getting up and waking him up. 

We really do think alike!  Weird isn't it? About the beach and all.  ::rhino::

What do you guys think of German Shepherd dogs or other types of Shepherds?

I love German Shepherds, and my family had one named  "Prince" a retired police dog and later on had one named "Bandit" and he was a great dog.  I fostered an Australian Shepherd (Blue Merle) named "Reba".  She was really active and I had considered keeping her, but she kept herding (nipping) at the kids when they would play, chewed the siding on my house, which I worked with trying to stop that and etc.  "Reba" had been kept isolated in a horse trailer, before she came to me.  I ended up finding her a great home with a rice farmer, whom last time I saw was driving around with Reba in the cab of his truck.  His place was great for her and it ended up being a good match.

One of my dogs is getting old and this past year I noticed a big difference in her.  I have two Australians too.  My brother takes the boy dog home with him every day after work and takes him back to my house when he goes to work (I ain't stupid I know he is afraid he will chew at his house...LOL).  He knows this is his home too.  I have his sister and he grew up here.  We love them and they are so smart.  But lately I have been thinking about getting a shepherd but my family doesn't know yet.  I will wait and see what I want to get and when I am ready I will get another dog.

I'm going to say this as nicely as I can.

Bristol Palin can't dance
Bristol Palin is not a star
What the heck is Bristol doing on the show to begin with?

Therefore, the show is a joke IMO (might as well be watching Ghost Hunters).  I don't watch it but I do check on Youtube to view the actual talented dancers (Jennifer Grey).  Even though I don't watch the show I will be voting on Monday for Jennifer.


Okay now this is funny  ::MonkeyHaHa::  I watched a couple episodes years ago and couldn't continue. But I check things out like you do. I don't even have to see a clip of Jennifer, I know she can dance  ::MonkeyCool::  If Bristol wins there is some serious cheating going on. And I would watch Ghost Hunters any day of the week over this.

I have to admit that I, too, can't get into this show....my aunt and many others love it, but although I tried to watch it in the past, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I agree with Klaas about Bristol and some of the past contestants.  It's at a point where they probably can't get real 'stars' to do the show.  My vote will be for Jennifer, as well.  You don't put baby in the corner.....

You got that right.Grey has it going on.  ::MonkeyCheer4::
I agree with Klaas....she said it a lot nicer than I could.   ::MonkeyHaHa::
I am done with the show.

After one couple is let off tonight, the two remaining will do a "dance off."

That may possibly mean Jennifer and Bristol, if tea-party people are allowed to cheat the voting.

The judges will pick the winner after the dance off.

I missed the show last night. I hope they repeat it tonight.

I used to watch Championship Ballroom Dancing on PBS, hosted by Barbara Eden, Marilu Henner, Ron Montez, etc...

When DWTS came out, I was so glad that something "good and hearty" would be on national television.

I mean, instead of murders, shootouts, sex, drugs, and all the evil stuff that are known to spark bad ideas on people's heads, people would be watching culture, and learning something new that is about having fun and being fit.

Okay, so the clothing thing is getting out of hand and the sexual moves are sometimes barf-provoking, but the drama and unusual contestants keep the interest going.

CBB - don't get me started, please
::MonkeyHaHa:: We must be on the same page. And frankly if I see another segment on cable news about this nonsense and Bristol dancing, and who is voting for her and who isn't I'm going to scream.

Bristol should have been on a fishing Tournament, :nemo:, NOT a dance competition.  ::bananadance::
Brandy is was an elegant dancer vs. the Bristol Stomp. ::MonkeyHaHa::

I agree.

Good time weather wise.  It was mostly in the 40's I'd say but didn't rain or snow.  Was a bit cold in the evening.

I have been gone for this big news about Natalee  ::MonkeyNoNo::. My mother was supposed to have a hysterectomy this morning due to cancer of the uterus. Well, they found out late yesterday that cancer may have spread and cancelled this mornings proceedure. I didn't want to derail the Natalee thread -- just wanted to let you all know why I had not weighed in!

Wreck - Just reading this now.  What a stressful time for your Mom.
Prayers and thoughts to all.

You were missed on Natalee's thread.

Yes, JACK is a Great Dane, just under 2 years old, my niece says they don't stop growing until they are about 4 years. 

This past summer when I was in Ca. was the first time I met JACK, I'm 5 ft tall and he has this trick of walking his front legs up your torso so he can look you in the eyes with his paws on your shoulders.  It was so funny, he had to sit down in order to see my face.

Klaas this was sent to be via email from River Song web site.I liked what he was saying but if you think it shouldn't be posted please delete

For understanding purposes, please give this some thought. Denial is the denial of facts and information that someone does not want to deal with. Repression is the denial of feelings that someone does not want to deal with. Deception is a form of dishonesty, (purposely), facts and sometimes feelings are often manipulated to bring about a favorable outcome that fits a selfish agenda. Why do I bring this up? Because people are often swayed or moved by something they hear from others, (to include the media). First we need to consider what agenda the person might have in their comments. We can not accurately ascertain a persons character from gossips and slanderers who are purposively looking to deceive us, we need wisdom to avoid these pitfalls. Consider the character and agendas first, and be careful what you listen to. James 1:5 says; If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

May the true blessings of Christmas be yours,
Jon

I'm dreading Christmas decorations.

I'm debating the use of unloading all the decorations, putting them up, and then putting them down and re-packaging them, all within a month.

I know it has to be done, but it's a drag.

I have two neighbors who kept their Christmas lights up all year, and I think they may be on to something.

Our trick is we just don't overdo it.  We one string of lights on the front of the house that just goes along the eves/rain gutter.  My husband puts those up using plastic hangers and he even made a stick to use so he doesn't have to use a ladder at all.  Then in the back we have one string on the eves and a couple strings and a lit star on our deck railing.  I put those up.  The back of the house is actually seen more than the front.  I keep these in a box in our spare bedroom closet so I don't have to rummage in the garage or in the attic to get them.  We keep our inside decorations in that same closet.  With the inside, I don't put out a million table decorations because I don't want to put them back.  I have stockings out and a couple of decorations and the tree, that is it.  Boring but still festive and easy to manage  ::santawink::

With Grand kids here I will put out a bit more. But like you Itarly Moosee it has become harder to think about all the work putting up and taking down.   ::MonkeyReindeer::  ::DancingSantaMonkey1::

Finger-Flipping Crosswalk Sign Fixed

Published December 02, 2010 | FoxNews.com


There's "Walk," "Don't Walk" and "Say WHAT!?!?"

A “Don’t Walk” signal at a crosswalk in Spokane, Wash., sent a most impolite message to pedestrians on Wednesday, "flipping the bird" at people waiting on the corner until the city got around to fixing it.

The electronic sign's raised hand, the universal signal to stop, was working fine. But it was missing some fingers -- two on the left and one on the right -- leaving the middle digit proudly standing alone.

"The Bronx Salute," they called it in Spokane. The Bronx had no comment, which probably was just as well.

Spokane spokeswoman Marlene Feist said no offense was intended. It was all because of bad weather, she said.

“We fixed it, snow was embedded in the electric sign,” she told Foxnews.com.

She described the signal's message as "unintentional" and said it wasn't fixed quickly because city workers' first priority was clearing the snow from the roads, not the signs.

I am not sure if this is the proper place to put this.  I am just soooo excited about it:

As some of you know, my youngest sister has a massive stroke more than a year ago.  Her ability to communicate is limited, on a good day.  This case is a huge victory for victims with disabilities!


NAA Update on the Case of Ruby McDonough

The NAA  would like to share information about this precedent setting case in MA.
We are proud to have been involved from the onset and invited to sign on as an
"Amicae Curiae" in the amicus brief filed by the National Disability Rights Network
(NDRN) in the McDonough appeal.

An "amicus brief" is a document filed in a case by someone who is not a party to
the case but is interested in the outcome. National organizations sometimes file
an amicus brief in a case that has the potentially of having an impact on other
persons who are similarly situated to one of the parties to the case. It is an opportunity
to inform the court about broad policy issues that it might consider in deciding
the case.

This case involves a crime victim who was denied an opportunity to have the crime prosecuted due to a communication disability that the court failed to accommodate.
Other crime victims with communication disabilities in Massachusetts might be affected by the result in this case, and more broadly courts in other states might be influenced by the outcome. Given the potentially broad impact that this case might have on other crime victims with communication issues, an amicus brief is an important vehicle for informing the court about reasonable accommodations that courts can provide which make it possible for individuals to testify despite their disabilities.

Through  the unwavering commitment of her attorney, Wendy J. Murphy, and the support of NAA friends including Jerry Kaplan and Paul and Judy Dane, Ms. McDonough has retained her rights. This has ensured that disabled crime victims are entitled to accommodations to ensure their equal access to Justice in criminal cases.  In particular, this is a strong, positive step in advocacy for the more than 1 million Americans living with aphasia.

The NAA thanks all those involved especially Ms. Murphy and NAA President Emeritus, Alan Bandler.

Below is Ms. Murphy's summary of the events of the case for your information:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earlier this month, Ruby McDonough was in a Massachusetts court fighting for her
rights as a crime victim with a disability.  Ruby, who has aphasia, was sexually
assaulted in 2009 by a male nurse's aide at the nursing home where she has lived
since suffering a stroke more than ten years ago.

As with many aphasic persons, Ruby has trouble communicating in narrative style.  But she had no trouble telling her family, the staff and the police exactly what happened.

The man accused of violating Ruby was charged with sexually assaulting Ruby in early 2009.  During pretrial proceedings his attorney asked that Ruby be subjected to a competency hearing. A court-appointed expert evaluated Ruby and found her to be mentally competent, though noted that she would need accommodations to help her communicate at trial, such as being allowed to answer in yes and no fashion, use gestures and images, and being allowed sufficient time to reply when more of a narrative was necessary.

The court did not allow ANY accommodations, and Ruby was made to testify at her own competency hearing without any help.  Thus, when defense counsel asked things like "tell us what happened", Ruby struggled.  At one point, defense counsel stood between Ruby and the perpetrator and asked whether Ruby could "see" the man who abused her.  Clearly use of the word "see" in such circumstances is unfair, and a fully abled person could simply have responded, "no, I can't SEE him because you're blocking my view" - but he is right there behind you".  Ruby knew the attorney was trying to trick her, so she became frustrated and emotional.  The court ultimately found her not competent to testify.

This is when I became involved as Ruby's private attorney.  A lawyer from the Victims' Rights Law Center had been assigned to represent Ruby at the competency hearing, but that attorney filed no pleadings, objected to nothing that occurred during the hearing and never once argued that Ruby's rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act were being violated by the court's refusal to afford Ruby any accommodations.
Some advocacy groups as a matter of policy refuse to aggressively represent the
interests of crime victims, which is why it is critically important for a victim
to ask around and to get feedback before agreeing to utilize the legal services
of certain "victims' rights" groups.

I filed a special appeal for Ruby to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, arguing that Ruby's rights under the ADA had been violated, and that the violation caused her to be illegally adjudicated incompetent.  After a hard fought battle during which the prosecutor and defense both opposed our effort, we finally prevailed in August, 2010.  The court not only ruled that Ruby's rights had been violated, it established brand new rules to ensure that the rights of all disabled crime victims will be better protected.  The landmark decision was a first of its kind court ruling and makes clear that persons with disabilities not only have a right to things like wheelchair ramps to ensure they get IN to the courthouse, they have a right to accommodations that will enable their "full and equal" testimonial and participatory rights as WITNESSES in criminal cases.  Given that persons with disabilities are disproportionately victimized by criminal violence, in part because perpetrators anticipate they will not be held accountable - especially if the victim has a communication disability - this new court ruling means that many more victims will be allowed to testify and criminals will be better deterred from selecting vulnerable individuals to be their victims.

After announcing its new decision, the Supreme Judicial Court sent the case back
to the trial court where Ruby's rights had been violated.  When we went back to
the trial court in October, we expected the judge to rule that Ruby would now be
allowed to testify, but instead the judge announced that Ruby would have no such opportunity because the perpetrator, an illegal immigrant, had been sent to Miami for immediate deportation.  The judge also refused to simply reverse the illegal ruling that had labeled Ruby "incompetent".

I decided to file another appeal to the state supreme court, after which we went
back again to the trial judge in November, hoping that this time the perpetrator
would be present so that Ruby could have her day in court.

To our delight, the perpetrator showed up, and the judge completely changed his attitude, finally acknowledging not only that Ruby was entitled to all sorts of
accommodations, but also that she would indeed be allowed to testify at trial. 
The judge essentially ruled that because the basis for the earlier decision on competency had failed to recognize Ruby's capacity to testify with accommodations, she had a right to take the stand at trial and utilize all reasonable accommodations to facilitate her communications as a witness against her assailant.

The trial date is now set for January 12, 2011.

Needless to say, Ruby is very excited that her dignity has been restored and her
voice will be heard.  Win or lose, Ruby's strength and perseverance in this case
have helped ensure equal justice for all persons with disabilities.

We are grateful that members of the aphasia community were in court with Ruby during the last two court hearings.  We hope to see support for Ruby again on January 12.

The aphasia community has been extremely helpful in more ways than I can say in
this brief summary.

Thank you - and Happy Holidays.

Wendy Murphy

Could not find bite of any sort. All doc could say was massive infection(what we thought were flu symptoms originally), gave him a shot, sending him home with antibiotics and pain pills. I would imagine he will have to go in to see our doc when he gets home.There is another truck on the way there now to get him home.

hi everyone,

i don't really post in here much but i was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to survive the breakup of an emotionally abusive relationship.  i just ended all contact with my emotionally abusive ex today and had verizon block him from calling me or texting me.  he has emotionally blackmailed me for the past 6 months into staying with him by threatening to call my job and make up lies about me, and all sorts of other crazy things.  i was weak at the time, and stayed out of fear that he would try to ruin my life. today i finally couldn't take it anymore and ended contact once and for all after he sent me a string of disgusting text messages.  he has never threatened to hurt me in anyway, but the emotional abuse was so traumatizing.   has anyone else ever experienced anything like this before?  part of me feels bad about breaking up with him and bad for hurting him, i know it's insane for me to feel guilty for hurting him but I just couldn't take it anymore. i'm sorry, i just needed to vent.  thanks for listening/reading

Sunshine - It has been my experience that when an emotionally abusive partner is trying to hang onto to the other so tightly as he is to you that he likely has someone else he's seeing.  It's almost as if they get mad at themselves and take it out on you.  Sometimes realizing that the guy is mostly FOS helps.   ::MonkeyCool::

That said, you sure you want what you posted in an open forum.  What if he reads it?

hi everyone,

i don't really post in here much but i was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to survive the breakup of an emotionally abusive relationship.  i just ended all contact with my emotionally abusive ex today and had verizon block him from calling me or texting me.  he has emotionally blackmailed me for the past 6 months into staying with him by threatening to call my job and make up lies about me, and all sorts of other crazy things.  i was weak at the time, and stayed out of fear that he would try to ruin my life. today i finally couldn't take it anymore and ended contact once and for all after he sent me a string of disgusting text messages.  he has never threatened to hurt me in anyway, but the emotional abuse was so traumatizing.   has anyone else ever experienced anything like this before?  part of me feels bad about breaking up with him and bad for hurting him, i know it's insane for me to feel guilty for hurting him but I just couldn't take it anymore. i'm sorry, i just needed to vent.  thanks for listening/reading

Sunshine I can only say that you have to think about you and your health.  I think people that that sound like your ex are people that feel they must be in control. And really have no self worth so they try and control those around them to make themselves feel better. IMO any way.  You have taken the first step. Good for you. Just remember you are not responsible for his actions or feelings. You are responsible for you. Baby steps forward. And good luck.

Sunshine, you're doing the right thing. I'm confident without knowing either you or your ex, that you do not know the entire story. A guy with the sort of control issues you allude to is hiding something and he is not what he presents to you. Emotional abuse leaves scars....... they're just on the inside, and sometimes it's more painful than physical abuse. I predict that in 6 months to a year from now, if you manage to really end it, you'll see him differently; more clearly and you'll also begin to feel more like you again, too. Don't waiver, stay strong. Whatever your purpose in life is, it is not to be a doormat and anyone who diminishes your worth is blocking the path you were given to walk.

I have an ex that excercised total control while I was blind with total trust. He wore me like a shiny bracelet and there was enough acceptance and approval from elsewhere in my life, that it took tremendous loss for me to begin to feel the full impact from him. My God, what I discovered is almost too hard to believe. I'm through it, but Sunshine, seeing it sooner would have saved me so much. You'll be fine; you'll be better. The world will always hold challenges, but you'll be in a better place to meet them. God Bless and I'll keep you in my prayers.

Sunshine, take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief. You got away from the abuse, and that takes courage and determination.

There's no buts about it... relationships that become abusive are very destructive towards the person being abused, and it's worse if there are children involved.

I hope it works out for you, and don't worry about him. He will eventually find himself a new woman to step on. Abusers may appear to change, but they never do.

Remember that in a relationship, if a person is happier being away from the other person than when being together, then there is no use to being a couple.

Ask yourself if smile more, with or without him.

Good luck to you!
:D

Finger-Flipping Crosswalk Sign Fixed

Published December 02, 2010 | FoxNews.com


There's "Walk," "Don't Walk" and "Say WHAT!?!?"

A “Don’t Walk” signal at a crosswalk in Spokane, Wash., sent a most impolite message to pedestrians on Wednesday, "flipping the bird" at people waiting on the corner until the city got around to fixing it.

The electronic sign's raised hand, the universal signal to stop, was working fine. But it was missing some fingers -- two on the left and one on the right -- leaving the middle digit proudly standing alone.

"The Bronx Salute," they called it in Spokane. The Bronx had no comment, which probably was just as well.

Spokane spokeswoman Marlene Feist said no offense was intended. It was all because of bad weather, she said.

“We fixed it, snow was embedded in the electric sign,” she told Foxnews.com.

She described the signal's message as "unintentional" and said it wasn't fixed quickly because city workers' first priority was clearing the snow from the roads, not the signs.

OMG What is next
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101206/ap_on_re_us/us_explosive_house

ESCONDIDO, Calif. – Neighbors gasped when authorities showed them photos of the inside of the Southern California ranch-style home: Crates of grenades, mason jars of white, explosive powder and jugs of volatile chemicals that are normally the domain of suicide bombers.

Prosecutors say Serbian-born George Jakubec quietly packed the home with the largest amount of homemade explosives ever found in one location in the U.S. and was running a virtual bomb-making factory in his suburban neighborhood. How the alleged bank robber obtained the chemicals and what he planned to do with them remain mysteries.

Now authorities face the risky task of getting rid of the explosives. The property is so dangerous and volatile that that they have no choice but to burn the home to the ground this week in a highly controlled operation involving dozens of firefighters, scientists and hazardous material and pollution experts.

Authorities went into the home after Jakubec was arrested, but encountered a maze of floor-to-ceiling junk and explosives that included 13 unfinished shrapnel grenades.

Bomb experts pulled out about nine pounds of explosive material and detonated it, but they soon realized it was too dangerous to continue given the quantity of hazardous substances. A bomb-disposing robot was ruled out because of the obstacle of all the junk Jakubec hoarded.

That left only one option — burn the home down.

San Marcos Fire Chief Todd Newman acknowledges it is no small feat: Authorities have never dealt with destroying such a large quantity of dangerous material in the middle of a populated area, bordered by a busy eight-lane freeway.

"This is a truly unknown situation," said Neal Langerman, the top scientist at the safety consulting firm, Advanced Chemical Safety in San Diego. "They've got a very good inventory of what's in there. Do I anticipate something going wrong? No. But even in a controlled burn, things occasionally go wrong."

He said the burning of the house would provide "an amazing textbook study" for bomb technicians in the future.

San Diego County authorities plan to burn the home Wednesday but need near perfect weather, with no rain, no fog, and only light winds blowing toward the east, away from the city. They have warned residents in the danger zone that they will be given less than 24 hours notice to evacuate their homes for a day, and that nearby Interstate 15, connecting the area to San Diego, will be closed.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency, and hospitals will be on standby in case there is a rash of people getting sick, Newman said.

  1.  HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?   
(written by  kids)     



You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.   
--  Alan,  age 10

-No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.   
--  Kristen, age   10   


2.   WHAT IS  THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?   
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.   
--   Camille, age  10   


3.  HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?   
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
--   Derrick, age  8   


4.  WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN  COMMON?   
Both don't want any more kids.   
--  Lori,  age  8   


5.  WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?   
-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long  enough.   
--   Lynnette, age  8     (isn't she a treasure) 

-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. 
--  Martin, age   10   


6.  WHEN IS  IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?     
-When they're rich.   
--  Pam, age   7

-The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.   
-  - Curt, age    7

-The rule goes like this:  If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.     
-  - Howard,   age 8   


7.    IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?   
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up  after them. 
--  Anita, age  9   (bless you child )   


8.  HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T  GET MARRIED?     
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? 
--   Kelvin, age 8   

And   the #1  Favorite is.......   


9.  HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?     
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump  truck.
--  Ricky,  age  10

They're doing it because kids will accept their friend request if they see a cartoon. Nothing to do with support child violence. Its on tonight news.

Florida is not getting a break this Winter, either.

Last night it was 27 degrees outside (panhandle), and down South where oranges are grown the temps were around 30.

The heater works well, but the floor is always cold. So, the only way to get the cat sleeping is wrapping the crate where she sleeps inside a warming throw, and leaving it on all night. Else, she will get in my bed and run the risk of me squashing her under my butt, she's a little thing and the same color as the covers.

I thought last night of the guy we discussed in another thread, the man who would gather leaves in the forest and load the walls with them for insulation. I wondered if that works.

Though, I would never do it. I would be afraid of any bug inside the leaves, that they may reproduce inside the home and cause an infestation.

Maybe something like this would work.  It's from Cabela's, which is pricey, but there are other companies that make them and you could check other online places:

http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=732769&type=product&WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=Shopzilla&WT.z_mc_id1=732769&rid=40&mr:referralID=6fe476ba-0276-11e0-ad8e-001b2166c62d

Lectro-Kennel Mat at Cabela's
Lectro-Kennel Mat

This heated mat provides safe radiant heat that matches your pet's body temperature. The durable, sanitary ABS plastic pad has a built-in thermostat that works both outdoors and indoors. UL- approved electric cord is coil wrapped to prevent chewing. No moving parts ensures your pet's safety and requires no maintenance.
Sizes: Medium (22.5"L x 16.5"W), Large (28.5"L x 22.5"W).

Prices for these are $58.00-$78.00.  I don't shop at Cabela's myself, because they are too expensive, but I think if you spent some time on the web looking around, you could find a electric pet mat that would keep your kitty warm at a better price.  When I was caring for tiny orphaned kittens, I used to fill water bottles with hot water and cover them with socks and roll them into the bed with blankets for warmth. 

Also, I would consider using straw (not hay) instead of leaves as insulation.  Cleaner and better smelling.   ::MonkeyWink::

Haven't had time to see if this is true yet:

From Chicago suburb :Apparently the group asking everyone to change their profile picture 2 their favorite cartoon is actually a group of pedophiles. They're doing it because kids will accept their friend request if they see a cartoon. Nothing to do with support child violence. Its on tonight news. Pass this on 2 everyone who has a cartoon profile picture.

CBB, we're having a new heating unit put in today! We always have someone come check it out before we start using the heat every year. This time they had a camera where they can look up inside & check the heat exchange, Well it has a very large crack in it & that means the possibility of carbon monoxide! We have cm detectors & we haven't been running the heat while we sleep but it's time for a new unit. The one we have is 25 years old! We have snow flurries here this morn. & snow is forcast again for the weekend! I do not like cold weather but it's nice for the holidays! Everyone stay warm!!  ::MonkeyKiss::

Monken -  A number of years ago, a crack was found in our heat exchanger during a routine check in a house we had bought the previous year.  This gave me an awareness not only of the need for checking out equipment, but to also add a carbon monoxide detector to our home.  I gave my parents a CO2 detector right after that, and they installed it in the hallway of their mobile home.  It kept going off (I didn't find out till later), so my Dad thought it had to do with being too close to the furnace, he kept trying to relocate it, but it kept going off.  He called and told me the detector I bought was defective so I could exchange it.  Instead, I got a technician out there, and he discovered they had a cracked heat exchanger  ::MonkeyShocked::  .  I could have lost my parents to something preventable.  I now also make certain my folks get their equipment checked annually.  The carbon monoxide detector is also important for those with fireplaces.  I give gifts of Carbon Monoxide Detectors to friends and family that get new houses, move and etc.

Hey Monkeys ::monkeywine2::

I'm looking for some WOW holiday goodies - anybody have some recipes they would like to share????????  Something out of the ordinary that will be a major hit at a goodie exchange. ::MonkeyWink::

I once went to a Christmas party hosted by a Mexican lady and her husband. I tried two things that made me go WOW!

One was a cookie/ball called "Mexican wedding cake." It's a pecan or walnut (not sure) cookie rolled up in a ball and covered in powdered sugar. The taste was nutty and slightly sweet, great for a snack. I tried making them after that and followed the recipe, but they did not turn out too good. Mine were TOO nutty.

The other was coconut pudding, called "tembleque"... it was set in a cute dessert glass. To make it, you need coconut milk, sugar, pinch of salt and cornstarch and let it boil for two or three minutes. Then put it in dessert cups, and freeze it. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.

It sounds too simple, but it's very tasty. I have made this like once a year for Christmas and it always comes out okay.

The coconut milk is better when you get a coconut, grind it in the food processor, add water, then pass it through a cheesecloth or old sock (kidding, any cloth will do) and get the milk.

But, the coconut milk from the Asian food isle, the one that comes in a can, is good too.

One good thing with this dessert is that the hair and eyes look shiny and bright for two or three days after eating.

Well, maybe that's just in my mind, I think.

I'll get the recipes and post them, though the pudding is hard to exchange in a goodies-exchange.

:D

The Tembleque recipe I got is from a book and it's similar to this one, the only difference is that mine adds 2/3 cup sugar and this one 1/2 cup. I don't add vanilla, some recipes call for it, others for orange flower water.

Speaking of vanilla (sort of )

How to make Homemade Vanilla Extract: The Big Bottle Method

750 ml bottle of vodka
12 whole vanilla beans
dark rum (optional)

Using kitchen scissors, cut vanilla beans in half lengthwise, leaving about an inch connected (not cut) at one end.

Now simply push the beans into the bottle. The beans are going to displace some of the vodka. This is not a problem! Get some orange juice and drink it! (I’m just kidding! Maybe.)

Screw lid on tightly and store in a cool, dry location. Shake the bottle once or twice a day at first, then just whenever you think about it. It will take a month or two to steep good, but you can use it sooner if you’re in a rush. Stored properly, it will be good for years, and in fact, get better all the time as it grows stronger.

Use a small funnel to transfer the extract to smaller bottles.

I like the extra kick of dark rum in my vanilla extract, so when I poured the first small bottle out, I added rum to the big bottle, using a funnel. The first few times you take out from the big bottle, it doesn’t hurt to add some extra rum or vodka to stretch your vanilla beans–if you let it steep again, it will be just as strong.

Tie raffia or ribbons around small bottles to give as Christmas gifts. Add a handmade or home-printed label. Or, if an avid baker is on your list, they’d love an entire big bottle, and be sure to make one for yourself!

So you can….

….make lots of cookies.


You can order whole vanilla beans over the internet or specialty food stores. This is a lot cheaper than buying vanilla in those little bottles at the grocery stores.

Thankyou CBB!  Yep, had son and Hubs both try to hold Hugs and he chomped on both of them trying to put the suit on.....They are a couple of characters, thats for sure.  Huggy is sooooo spoiled, thinks he's a Pitt Bull I swear, has no fear whatsoever.  Jacko adopted us when Hugs was a few months old, Jack has such a wonderful personality, loves everyone.

He is doing better. I came home yesterday to work today. 95% sure he will be on the way home later today. Waiting to make sure his white cell count stays down on the oral antibiotics . It was 15.5(I think 1000's add to this) when admitted, 13.5 yesterday am. I believe they said 10-14 is normal.  His sis is picking him up to come home....can you believe we had a few car issues? LOL! Mine is fixed(thanks to daughter's "friend") now hers is in the process. He is regaining his health though, so we are managing!

Sure enjoyed some grandson hugs last night!

remembering when we used to dress the kids like they were dolls....they received so
many clothes from grandparents, it was okay to change outfits two or three times a day...take pictures of each outfit and send it off to my mom....who then sent more outfits....lol.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a Merry Christmas.  Did I see that you will be hugging that baby soon?

I wonder how Blue Moon is doing as she is sort of near me and my temp this morning
was 2 degrees.  We are under winter storm warnings with snow rain and ice due later
tonight.  I am from the deep south originally and this weather takes some getting used to....just hope that we keep electricity.

Nut I think I am losing it....have gone back and forth and can't find those kids...but bet
they are cuties.

Hi Mere.  Our low temp was 4 degrees and it was cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Winter storm warning which includes ice, sleet and freezing rain-all of which I Cannot handle.  Temps have moved up some, right now it is 31.  Stay safe if you are expecting ice in your area.  I am off work and 1st day off had to go to dentist and get prepped for a crown.  It was not fun.  Home now with a roaring fire and it feels good.


Klaas, that picture is beautiful of your gbaby. Don't you just want to grab them up and squeeze them when you get a picture like that and then realize you can't?  How many more days til you can do that?

Good to see you Blue Moon....I am holding the fireplace wood in the event we would
lose electricity (and the heater).  This area lost electricity for a couple of weeks during one of those bad winter storms a few years ago.

There is already a bit of ice....I am in with my supply of coffee and sodas, bread, milk and water....tuna, canned stuff and cookies....Paula Deen would not be proud.

Wishing you the best....take care....Mere

 ::MonkeyTongue::  See that Miss Rex? My tongue's sticking out at you!!   ::MonkeyWink::

All those trees that provide such color and shade in Spring and Summer, really are pretty with snow, but I hate it when ice comes this way. There will be a lot of sticks and branches to pick up in the yard. I'm not even going to try it until this blows over. KuBear had trouble even standing on the deck; it was funny.... she kept looking back at me with this puzzled look and finally decided to just sit down. That was her intention, but her front feet just kept moving away from her body so she laid down instead!  She just watched them like they weren't hers.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

I'm so grateful the power came back on!

I will, GE! No....... there's no way to get out in this or for anyone to get to me. I have power, so I'm just going to suck it up and clean house........ it needs it!!! I'm going to splurge and turn the Christmas lights on, get some carols going, and try to teach Ku to be a better conversationalist!

Love You Guys!   ::MonkeyKiss::

  CBB, I hate ice storms more than anything, because it usually means the power goes too. It must be a couple of degrees colder on this end of the Blue Ridge because we are getting snow. They called for flurries but now it is 2 to 4 inches, and winter hasn't even started yet.

A couple of degrees would have made a big difference, SuzieQ! The temps are beginning to drop and we're supposed to get your snow tonight......... on top of the ice. That's always fun.......... can't see the ice below the snow so 4 wheel drive idiots think they can go somewhere......   ::MonkeyNoNo::

On the bright side, in the 10 day forecast, we've got a real shot at a white Christmas!!  ::MonkeyDance::

Passing through with laundry...... Gosh, I didn't realize how bad the house was!  ::MonkeyShocked:: At this rate, I'll need a week long ice storm!

It seems all the nasty stuff rides up and over or down and over. I can handle it. But the grand kids keep hoping for some really cold weather and SNOW.

I made Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls for my son a week ago (I was still cleaning splatters today!) and that's it. I cooked enough for an army at Thanksgiving and sent enough home for everyone to eat for a week!

Last year, I tried something different and it worked well so we're doing it again this year. I grilled steaks and fixed King Crab Legs. My future DIL loves Crab Legs, and so do John and I. My son loves steak and so does a friend who always comes for Christmas, so that's Christmas Dinner! In the end it doesn't cost any more than Turkey with all the trimmings and it's MUCH easier to prepare, so it works for us!

I've been scouting the grocery store for the Crab Legs to be on sale............ no luck yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Daughter is making prime rib for Christmas eve dinner and I will do the turkey Christmas day. But the steak and crab legs sounds good. I know my kids would love the crab legs. I don't care for sea food but they all do.
 ::MonkeyWink::

Ohhhhhh, it's been SO long since I've fixed Prime Rib! Gosh....... it's so, so good!!! Have you ever brined a turkey? John's in charge of Turkey for Thanksgiving and he fixed it that way for the first time several years ago, and honestly.......... it's the best turkey I have ever tasted. I have a houseful at Thanksgiving and it keeps growing because of his Turkey!   ::MonkeyHaHa::

No I haven't how does he do it?

Here's the link for brining a turkey. It's easier........... cooks a lot quicker and GE, I'm telling you, do it once and you'll never fix it any other way. Emeril uses different stuff in the brine, and either is really good. This link is good with the process:

Hi GE.  The weather's really off and on lately.  First it freezes, so I moved my plants to the greenhouse and sheltered/covered things.  Then a day or so later, it's in the 70's, and things get too  hot in the green house, even if I leave the door open and put a tarp over it. And then it freezes again.  To answer your question, I guess I would say I'm staying warm at least part of the time.   ::MonkeyTongue::
