Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but didn't know where it fits.  I only pop in and read.  Don't have time to post much with school going on!  I've really missed seeing Mrs. Red but maybe I have just managed to miss her posts.  I was just asking cause I hope all is well with her. I figured that someone would know if something was wrong.  Thanks!

Hi Casa - I asked Red about her the other day and he said she was really really busy with work, but she's fine.

I was wondering where our Mrs. Red has been too.  There is a poster with a very beautiful red avi, and when I see it, I'm reminded of Mrs. Red and some of the glamorous avi's she has.  Glad to hear she's okay. Hi Mrs. Red !!!

8-foot mechanical ape stolen from Maine store

EAST MACHIAS, Maine (AP) -- A giant gorilla that's been a longtime fixture outside a flea market store in East Machias has gone missing and its owner is asking that the mechanical ape be returned, no questions asked.

Lowell Miller didn't realize that his gorilla had been stolen from Sandy's Sales on U.S. 1 until closing time Sunday. Miller thought his clerk had wheeled the ape inside, and the clerk thought Miller had.

Miller said he was amazed that anyone would steal such a heavy object. Valued at about $1,500, it has a cement platform and is equipped with motors that turn the gorilla sideways and make its arms go up and down.

State police have put out an all-points-bulletin on the primate, which they suspect may be holed up in some college students' apartment.

UPDATE
Stolen gorilla found in Vermont cornfield
 
By Diana Graettinger
BDN Staff
EAST MACHIAS, Maine — A power-driven gorilla that has been missing since the Labor Day weekend turned up over the weekend in a cornfield in Swanton, Vermont.
The kidnapper, who apparently was not monkeying around once he knew that the police were on his trail, dumped the hot gorilla in the country cornfield to avoid being caught. 

The gorilla that belonged to Sandy’s Sales was taken from in front of the Route 1 store the Sunday before Labor Day. For a time, police believed it might be in a student’s apartment in the Machias area.

It was only after the owner of the Ohio-based company that had built the mechanical monkey got involved that things began to happen. Ken Booth made a video and put it on YouTube quoting a story that ran in the Bangor Daily News about the missing monkey. He offered a $500 reward.

Shortly after the cyberspace detective work started, there was a response from the kidnapper. That video was also posted on YouTube.

Dressed in black from head to toe, the masked man working with a sock puppet said he wanted $1 million — then said he was just kidding. Finally, he said he just wanted to unload the beast.

Within hours, the mechanical giant was picked up by the Vermont State Police and taken to the Troop A barracks in St. Albans, Vermont.

RE Metrolink and freight train wreck

An LAPD officer has been killed in it.

A USC engineer was saying it takes 3 things to create a wreck. I have heard that in the past from airline pilots.

Just before the Metrolink started up the incline to the tunnel, there was an extra track where the Metrolink was to wait for the freight train coming out of the tunnel and to past.

Used to film westerns up in those rocks and it used to be that teens played with changing the signals in the Santa Susanna Mts. but I guess now it is done by computer.

This should NOT have happened.

Monkeys stay safe in the hurricane!

Love,

IBE

IBE

HAPPY BELATED B-DAY!!

[IBE]

Thanks 2NJsons's mom

With the hurricanes, the tornadoes, floods, illnesses, trail wrecks, my 9/11, and my bd then (68) I feel like Sxxt.

Thanks for listening to my "feel sorry for the world and me" rant. My first CERT class is next week. Hope am able to to do it. All I wish is to learn, then teach those I live with in the complex.

Was on the Salvation Army site. I couldn't find how to join....anyone know? They were the first ones on the scene (6 hrs before the Red Cross) in a tornado I was in in Indiana Sept. 22, 2002. House fire was 9/29

funny 9/22/2002 my bd on 9/11 most of my "remembrance" occurrences have 9's,2's 7's and 11's in them

Thanks for listening. Going to check the Caylee and Natalle pages now.

[MuffyBee]

IBE You have a lot of goodness in your heart.     And you are a doer, not just a sayer.   

[MuffyBee]

Angie ~  Just saw you over on the Caylee thread.  It's so good to see you again.  We've missed you so much.  Hope all is well with you.   

[Angiex911dsptchr]

I wanted to say HI to you all... I know I havnt been on in a long time.. but it dont mean I dont care!
Want to thank Klaas for setting me back up.. she did weeks ago and tonight is the first night I tryed to even log on.
  I got some emails about some folks mentioning me.. lol
I am OK.. I recently got a MUCH MUCH needed divorce....
 I have been busy trying to get my life in order and at my age... isnt real easy to have to start all over again.  I struggle bigtime.. but I am doing it with alot of determination. I was never one to ask anyone for help.... I went without DSL for months and had dial up.. which sucked.  Finally DSL was offered here recently.. I moved to the country WHICH I am having a hell of a time getting used to. Umm.. can you say.. snakes? Bats? Critters of all sorts? lol
 I am going to be a Gramma.. and VERY happy.. My daughter and huby are expecting... she was long ago and miscarried..    shes scared right now.. so keep her in prayers~! TYIA ~!!!
  I also crashed my car not long ago.. well a month ago.. just got it back last week. Went to visit a firend of mine.. cause I could.. no man to bitch at me for leaving the house. Well...... My bit of freedom that night sucked. Was on my way home.. deer jumps out in front of my car.. I swerve to miss it.. and the gaurdrail was my new best friend.  ::MonkeyConfused::I am just happy I ddint hurt anyone.. or get hurt myself. My airbags deployed..HAd to have my car towed away,, it was NASTY,,      Should have been totaled IMO.. but wasnt.. so I get it back a few days ago.. loks brand new.. and I think I wanna get rid of it now. UI was fortunate enough to be able to borrow a car to get me back and forth to work.  WORK.. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. The job I have now I do like.. but the company itself SUCKS. I have never seen anything like it in my life.. My  daughter works there as well. Last week. I played hooky and called off... ::cough cough::... I got dressed up and went over to the 911 center WHICH is directly across the st where I am living now. 911 was always my FAV job.. and where my heart is.. to HELP OTHERS!  Most of you know about my voice crap.. I have been spending time doing vocal things... and went over there.. talked to my old SUPV'S.. and they told me my voice is fine.. and others there sounds wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more like shit.. LMAO  I know who they meant.. and told them I cant sit there and laugh or poke fun. Anyhow.....  I missed a NEW class by 3 weeks..    My butt will be in the next one.. could be a few months.. could be next summer.. they dunno. They were happy to see me and went on about what a good dispatcher I was way back when.. lol  They stamped my app before even sending it to our county courthouse... I wanted to CRY~!!! I can literally WALK there.. if I could spit far like a dude.. <rofl> I could freakin spit in the driveway to the building! 
  I really have been thru alot lately.. NOT looking for pity or sympathy.. I lost my sons dad back in April.. he was young.. and although we hadnt been together for years.. he always held a special place in my heart. I actually took work off to be at the hospital with him and my son and his parents.  My ex inlaws always treated me like gold... they still do. His BP went up bad.. he was ok for a few days.. then all of a sudden he went into full cardiac arrest... Slipped into a coma.. I sat by his bedside every day and night.. I have know him since we were 15 yrs old..  dated him then... eventually married his cute butt years later. I wanted so much to be able to help.. all I could do was be there for our son and his parents. My kid is the SPITTING image of his dad.. so  much..its almost spooky. Well decision time came.. and I sure as shit didnt want to be part of it..BUT.. seeing how I was there everyday.. I had to be part of.. take him off of machines.. or let him on to live a life as a complete braindead vegetable..    I asked the neurologist WHY make me part of it... she said becuase you have been here everyday..  I told her to talk to his parents first and our son... who is 18 .. almost 19.. let them decide then I will throw my 2 cetns in.
  They made the decision to let him go..    .. it was mine as well.. and it was HARD..  I would never want to with that upon anyone. I was in his room when they were unhooking him from life support.. I got bitched at daily from nurses for sitting at his bedside and holding his hand and talking to him.. they told me HE CANT HEAR YOU.. I said Bullshit.,.People in comas CAN hear.. and I want him to know we are here for himj. The day he was taken off support.. I leaned over him.. I asked him to be our sons Gaurdian Angel and said I know thats a big job for yah. He.. although in a coma.. had tears rolling down his face.. which I wiped away..  ::MonkeyWaa::I know he heard me..I just KNOW he did.  ALot of things have happend since his death and I feel hes not only our sons Angel but mine as well. He came to me last week. some folks may think I am NUTZ.. or  know what I mean. He came to me plain as day.. why me? No idea.. but wanted me to let our son and his parents know he is fine.. odd things happen at his parents too.. he told me he is there alot~!!!  HIs colgnoe smell is there often at times too. His parents have given me alot of things of his.. He was their only child.. all they have left now is our son.. their Grandson.
  I dont mean to write a novel.... but.. its just some of what I have been dealing with... 
 Life sure isnt easy is it?
  and YES.. 911 for those who posted stuff was hard.. UI was at work and the radip was on.. and they were playing clips of certain things that happened that day.. My sorry ass busted out in tears. 
 I guess I should STFU now.. lol    Hope to be back on again soon.. I miss you ALL~!!! 
Much LOVE and HUGS sent your

WE WILL NEVER FORGET....................

I was overcome by emotion the first time I felt the tragedy of Sept. 11.
I went on July 4 2002 I went on the Harley


 You could feel all the lost souls in the streets when you got near the building the smoke the ashes were on your face arms, all the hairs on your arms and neck stood up.
Tears were in my eyes yes, I felt spirts in the air of all the lost spirts.
 I felt some were still traped there.
