Whinning about price changes at the jail...'are you kidding me??'  I'd love to pay 89 cents around here for a can of coke.  If I were to buy M&M's here I'd pay well over $1.  It makes me so angry when these people in jail start complaining about stuff like this.  Hey, it isn't the Ritz.  You're in jail for a reason, dudes.  Whatever company is providing the food has every right to raise prices, it's happening in the stores all the time.  Times are getting hard on everybody so why shouldn't the canteen food people raise prices to cover their expenses, too!

Hi bikerbev, I had to chuckle when you said this isn't the Ritz. George and Cindy will have a rude awakening if they ever go to prison for lying. 

I remember in one interview once that Cindy said she wasn't afraid to go to jail.

[Tevye]

She has parenting skills and even tells me she loves me now. She does know without a single doubt that I would believe the kids over her if abuse was in doubt. She knows I would call the cops and social services and even if I went to jail, (for beating her to a pulp!),  the kids will never be harmed!! She has been much better for the most part and only slips once in a while now. She tries more than ever to be a better wife and mom. And I am proud of her because I know it has not been easy living in my house when she knew how I felt about her (esp. at first!) Now, we live happy and the kids are happy and loved!!!! NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!!!!

Too bad Caylee didn't have a gramma like you! Man, you're fierce! Welcome to the club.

[jammsnana]

I hope that Cindy and George get to show us that they are not afraid to go to jail!!! Justice FOR CAYLEE!!

Good Morning Monkeys and Guest!!

Just have to comment on the whiners in prison about the food prices. KC has more money in her commisary fund than I spend on groceries in 3-4 months. I don't remember the last time I bought a single coke for $.57. Here they are at least a dollar. Cigarettes are $5.00 a pack. I don't have cable , can't afford it. Rent, electricity, water , have to be top priority. My one luxury is a phone and internet. And thank God for Medicare part D. Just got my medicine bill for the last 3 months. $6,742.22. They get free meds and free Dr. visits. STHU already.

Why do the prisons in Fla. not have gardens? They could grow their own fruits and veggies year round. I have to buy canned fruits. Can't afford the fresh ones.

I grew up the hard way. You had to work for what you wanted and needed. We were taught to not waste. I can take one chicken and feed 15 people. Prisoners have more luxury than most of us who have worked our whole lives to have what we have. Oh Geesh.......this just pizzes me off.
Sorry for the rant. I am like JSM, put their sorry asses in stripes and put them to work.

Darla, the State prison in Huntsville the prisoners grow their own food, they have their own herd of cattle for beef, etc. BUT it is like a real farm with farm equipment, so basically they are "working" they way I would want them to work. I want them to be digging their gardens with a teaspoon and only get to eat what they can grow. No nothing special. If it ain't in season and didn't come from their prison farm, they can do without. Sorry for the rant, and thanks for agreeing with me. 

How do you feed 15 people off of one chicken? That is amazing to me.

In the article about the SVU episode, and George and Cindy, would be better off not watching. I'm guessing the ending will be the prosecution of the grandma for lying and obstruction charges.

I get a feeling it may have a twist ending that another family member did it in this episode.  As far as my feelings on it tainting the jury pool I posted my thoughts on that a page or so back.  I do wish I could be fly on the wall to watch Cindy's mushroom cap explode & George's eyebrows go into a spasm of furry...I loathe these people with every fiber of my being - Jammsnana if only the Anthonys maintained a moral compass such as yours...sigh

I totally agree, this all makes me sick.

Me, too.  If prices get any worse we"ll have to have the government take care of us! lol

Oh My Gosh where to start.  First off it is a prison.  Remember that is supposed to mean punishment for something you did.  What ever happened to the good old days where the chain gangs would actually work for their meals ands still contribute to society in some way.  With all prisons being overpopulated perhaps the conditions are no longer a deterant to going there? 

Smoking is not allowed in any of the jails up here.  I agree, it is not a necessity of life it is a luxury if you are in jail.  If you walk free then do what you want but I go back to punishment and jail theory.

The rise in prices and outcry is laughable.  I am currently pretty far north.  A few years ago we lived even farther north in a quaint little place on Baffin Island.  Everything arrives by air and not very often.  There was one main place to buy groceries.  We were paying 7.99 for a copy of the NY Times, 10.00 for a 12 pack of coke, 27.00 for a box of laundry detergent and if it were on sale 5.00 for a can of stew.  Fresh fruit and veggies were extremely expensive and friends and relatives would send us care packages of stuff like oranges, peppers, potatoes etc as they were just too expensive to buy. The town would be on full lockdown when the not so random polar bear would be cutting through it.  I say send the whole Ant family up there to film a documentary. 

  Polar bears? I can't believe those prices. I say send Ants and the prisoners up there.

The words "moral" and "Anthony" should never appear together in a sentence. It's just wrong.

Cindy for sure will watch. How can she not, she has displayed traits of being vain, arrogant and righteous?  I hope the twist at the end is Grandma goes to the chair with daughter.  A two for one happy deal so to speak.

I say take the commissary away altogether & return to sh!t on a shingle!!! (a hash type dish)  Hey, if you don't want to do the time, don't commit the crime...geez louise!

Yes and even with the Northern Living Allowance it did not cover the extra costs to fly in groceries.  Polar bears were common, especially in spring.  I say the Ants should go up as the 4 part documentary.

Part 1 - Its not all about you - watch the locals laugh!
Part 2 - No one told us about snow blindness - you mean the stolen sunglasses will not help us here?
Part 3 - No Coco butter and poptarts for you! - yes the pilot actually needs to bring in the medicine for the sick not the poptarts to keep your PTA going.
Part 4 - Hope the polar bear does not get indigestion!

With all of the children who have been killed/and or disappeared recently, it is just unbelievable to me that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE in a place of authority has not come up with a law or a bill or something to make the punishment so GREAT that these jerks (be they male or female, relative or not) SCARED to do it again! Why is it more illegal to kick a police dog than it is to hurt a child?? That was the response of LE here in NC when we reported the abuse of my granddaughter to them. No one from the whole entire LE community even talked to my Daughter in law who was the one abusing her. The most unreasonable comment I heard was that because she was the caregiver and married to the dad, they couldn't step in unless it was more serious! She had beaten the then 5 yr old in the head with a spaghetti server till it broke and the baby was bleeding. The marks were clearly visible on her head and I have the pics to prove it!! My son  and d-i-l's sis took my granddaughter to the police station and made the report and there was another baby in the home who was being carried by the leg and neck and tossed in her crib (5 months old). D-i-l was screaming at the kids and unreasonably critical of everything and everyone. She would not "allow" older granddaughter to even sit on her furniture or watch her tv. Made her stay in her room all the time. (This lasted about 3 months-when I got wind of it, after noticing the personality change in granddaughters) I TOOK older granddaughter from their home and dared them to come get her! I found out how very badly Audrey had been treated AFTER I took her!! I made sure son was aware of it all and they separated (Audrey is his from another relationship and he has had custody since before she was two) for a year! He had both girls every weekend and Audrey all the time. Daughter-in-law had to accept that she was angry at the world and agree to get help before they got back together. They accomplished that about 2 yrs ago. I admit that I did not want them back together-but, alas, I am just the nana  and I got no say! Today they live with me because I do not trust her not to be mean again. We mostly live in peace but do have "incidents" once in a while. In August or September, they are moving out on their own again. I fear for my GD but have no choice! She has learned to stay out of her reach and to keep to herself more. And she is now nearly 10 and younger GD is nearly 5. They are more able to voice the things around them and I have told them (and shown them) that they are loved and will ALWAYS be able to come to me with anything!! I have reservations about d-i-l ability to be the "mom" still....but she has grown in her parenting skills and I hope that she continues growing and does not revert back to bad behavior which I am sure is tempered by MY presence. She knows I will NOT tolerate any kind of abuse! I have flat out told her so and also told her it is my opinion that a child abuser does not deserve air to breathe!! I have tried so hard to not undermine the parents but they still KNOW that if they slip I will be right there!! It was a hard time and I do not think that it is right that a step-parent has the right to treat a young child so badly! It is sad that the laws allow that to go on! I have been in touch and campaign loudly with all child abuse agencies in our state since this happened to our family. They all know I will fight to the death for these kids!! (My son and wife know, I mean) I am trying to make them see that kids are not meant to be used and abused but loved and cherished as the gift from GOD that they are! I have tried for these last 2 years to teach my d-i-l the skills for dealing with stress and childhood tendencies to do the wrong thing. It has been very hard at times, but I felt that I had to do it for my grandbabies sakes! Audrey and Jenna are too sweet and precious to have to live in fear and I have done all I could to assure they will never know it again! I did not (and sometimes still do not) like my d-i-l very much. I let her move into my home anyhow because at least then I could KNOW these babies were being treated right and had all they needed! It cost me my marriage but it was still worth it to me! The kids have a fighting chance now that they would not have had! I wonder how G&C can live with the consequences of their failure to keep precious little CAYLEE safe? After my own experiences, I am just disgusted with the behavior of those two so called grandparents! I KNOW I would never have acted in the way they have. I KNOW I would have found my daughter and my granddaughter after the first couple of days! I would have made it right with the daughter to get the baby back home and then talked it out with the daughter somehow!!! I KNOW I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS!! It just makes me so angry that casey was allowed (Yes, I know she is grown) to go for that long without some kind of contact with the baby! It seems to me that though they claim they loved Caylee, they deserted her when she needed them most of all!! It just breaks my heart! How could they not have known?????

Sorry for your horrible experiences with your dil, I think for a fact G & C knew something was wrong, just chose not to deal with it because they did what they always did with KC. They let her do as she pleased, because they were stupid pansy jerks afraid of their own daughter. JMO JSM

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!!!!

Too bad Caylee didn't have a gramma like you! Man, you're fierce! Welcome to the club.

I am FIERCE and can be downright SCARY if these kids are not treated with love and caring! All their lives, they have known love and just because they have a "bad time" dealing with life's ups and downs is no excuse for treating a small child badly! It is totally unacceptable to me and will not be tolerated! My daughter in law has had some parenting classes cause I paid for them..and made sure she could go to them. We struggled for a long time trying to work out our differences in child rearing and what is and is not "good" parenting. We butted heads a lot at first and had many, many arguments...but because I cared enough and took the time to make it easier for her to accept help...we got the help she needed and things are so much better! She still has anger issues but she is working on them and trying which is a far cry from how it was before! She is trying to make her own way with help from my son and me. We discuss issues right when they occur and do not let the kids see that there is an issue if that is possible. Sometimes it is not possible so we discuss and then talk to the kids and explain why there was an issue at all. The hardest part is making myself stand back and let them make the mistakes all parents make. I have had to really back off since I want them prepared and ready to do the parenting on their own when they move out of my house. I dread the move but believe it is time for the break unless I make the choice to live with them forever. I cannot do that. I work nights and they are doing days so I need a place of my own and they need a place of their own to put all the skills they have learned to good use. They want me to move with them but I need a new start myself. I am recently divorced and want to live alone-something I have never done. I will have a room for the kids to come stay over on the weekends, but I need a place to call mine!!

[darla]

The Anthony's are a breed apart from most humans. If one of my grandkids have a bruise, this grandma ask where it came from. Not that I think either of my kids would hurt their kids, but you never know who else might do it. I talk to my grandkids at least every two to three days. Even if it is only on speaker phone. Cindy and George should be so ashamed of themselves for not standing up for that sweet baby, but NO they are living off of her death. And I can't even ask God to have mercy on their souls.

JSM, it is an old southern recipe my grandmother always made. Will post it in musings sometime.

[joesamas mama]

boo freaking hoo, so sorry snacks are going up. how dare they complain.  i don't have cable, still have dial up internet, it's all i can afford.  tell them to write to BA Rock about the new cig taxes (even though he is a smoker too!).  i live off of diet cokes and cigs because I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY GROCERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  CAN YA'LL TELL I AM A LITTLE PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!
 

  I live off Diet Coke, Cigarettes, Beer and have a pizza sometimes. I don't buy groceries either. 

I'm right there with you!! I HATE going grocery shopping and will usually go down to the last envelope of Cup A Soup before I step into a grocery store. The only things I can't do without is GF International Coffee -Belgian Hazelnut, my smokes, t-paper and of course dog food, my babies gotta eat before I do!!! 

  I'll go to the dollar store and get cans of ravioli, cup of soup and the tpaper before I will go to the grocery store. Hey boo, KC buys cup of soup from the commissary, I have always wondered how does she cook it? Anyone know? TIA JSM

Tevye, just went to your poll and voted.

Also, would like to tell you that I enjoy reading all your posts.  They are very insightful and always gives me food for thought. 

I just can't believe the ant family.  They're all full of the pure devil.  I must have led a sheltered life because this family has my head spinning everyday.
A new lie everyday....I come home from school and log on the SM so I can see what lie they have told.

Teaching 2nd graders and dealing with little "fires" that have to put out is draining.  When I get home I read SM to get caught up.  I hope that is ok with all you smart Monkey's. 

I do love all the Monkey's!!

Thanks, Dana. I know, coming here and reading is like reading a true crime novel that never ends! I feel like the Ants really DO live in an alternate universe. Can't wait to hear what Cindy has to say after the Law & Order show. You just know she's gonna have a rebuttal ready!

Rebuttal H*ll Tevye, she is gonna have that hammer and baseball bat smashing the TV after L&O is over.

Can't you just see Cindy and George sitting on the couch watching? Cindy has her hand on Georgie's leg, by the time the end credits run, she will have poor George's leg squeased so tightly he will have to have her nails surgically removed from his thigh.

[joesamas mama]

In the article about the SVU episode, and George and Cindy, would be better off not watching. I'm guessing the ending will be the prosecution of the grandma for lying and obstruction charges.

  That is the ending I want to see, No Rose, but in real life!
