MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #42 6/12/09 - 6/30/09

[Steel Monkey]

Did anyone see the topic I started last week about Homecoming Dance?  I am like older than the Sun, but I have had a thought about that lately....who I was with, what I wore, the songs playing.  I remember it being a very good night.  Does anyone else have a memory of that?

I saw that with Deenie. No don't have a memory to share. As I never went to a Homecoming Dance or to my Senior prom. By the time I thought I would like to go to Homecoming, I meant my hubby and since he was older and in the Navy, it just didn't seem like a good idea.  Have a good night.

Thanks GE.  Maybe I am getting a little sentimental tonight.  That was in 1977, and I didn't have to face the service back then.  Good night!

I didnt go the the Prom as I was dating someone much older.  I dont think records were invented yet either.

Huge storm just blew through Tulsa - lighting, hail, high winds, be careful to the east of me.

I am fine, thanks Bearly.  I have over 100 scrub oaks, they are so tall and it is not unusual for one to bite the dust in a storm like this.

Blogger Admits Story of Terminally Ill Baby Is a Lie
Friday , June 12, 2009




A blogger who wrote of deciding to give birth to a terminally ill baby, attracting a following of thousands of supporters online, admits now that the entire story was made up.

The woman behind the hoax isn't "April's Mom" — a single expectant mother who lay awake at night terrified her unborn child would die at any time, according to the Chicago Tribune.

She is actually Beccah Beushausen, a 26-year-old social worker from the Chicago suburb of Mokenka who says she didn't know how to free herself from the web of lies she wove.

"Soon I was getting 100,000 hits a week, and it just got out of hand," she told the Tribune. "I didn't know how to stop. ... One lie led to another."

The blog reached its peak at nearly a million hits when Beushausen wrote that baby April Rose was born alive at home — and then died mere hours later, the paper reported.

Anti-abortion supporters were captivated by her story, logging on each night to read about her plight and saying they were praying for her.

Some followers even sent gifts and photographs to the post office box she listed online. Parenting Web sites that oppose abortion promoted her site.

But the web of lies began to unravel when a photo of a lifelike doll posted as a supposed picture of baby April Rose raised suspicions, according to the Tribune.

"I have that exact doll in my house," dollmaker and blog reader Elizabeth Russell of Buffalo, N.Y., told the newspaper. "As soon as I saw that picture, I knew it was a scam."

When supporters of "April's Mom" found out her story was fiction, they were outraged and demanded that the blogger be unmasked and held accountable.

"I know what I did was wrong," Beushausen told the Tribune. "I've been getting hate mail. I'm sorry because people were so emotionally involved."

There's no evidence that Beushausen profited financially from the hoax or committed a crime.

I promised pictures of the tail of a tornado to the north of my house, it is kinda blurry as I got a little concerned at that moment having that image right in front of me but the tornado tail is in the middle of the picture in line with the power lines.  This tornado touched down north of me about 15 miles but it formed and started in the vicinity of my home:

WOW Bluemoon - scarey stuff!  Glad you are safe now!  Great picture!
