HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A SPECIAL LADY

Tomorrow will be the birthday for a special lady, my wife Andie. I know I shouldn't tell a lady's age but she will be 63 years young. I wish one thing and that is to be able to hold her and give her a birthday kiss and hug but I can only do that in thought because she will be celebrating her birthday in Heaven, which is a far better place than here.

So in closing I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my special lady, Andrea O'Connor. I love you.

HEEEERRRRREEEESSSS JOHNNY

Yes indeed folks Johnny, (Captain Jack Sparrow, Willie Wonka) Depp made his presence in the little town of Crown Point, Indiana for the making of the movie "Public Enemies" which is about bad boy bank robber John Dillinger. Fans braved to cold weather to get a glimpse of their favorite actor, Johnny Depp. The gathering was at the original jail in Crown Point where John Dillinger escaped using a wooden gun. Johnny was very polite and took time to shake hands and sign autographs for his fans. There were hundreds of fans there to see him with many waiting in the cold weather for up to 12 hours. Can't wait to see the film.

GHOST HUNTERS

I'm sitting here watching a program of the SCIFI channel. She and her mother are really into this. As I watch this program I think to myself, are these people nuts. They are walking through a supposedly haunted house and every once in a while on of the guys would say "did you hear that?" or did you see that person there and did you see that move. I was sitting right there and I didn't see any of that. At the end of the show they play the tapes and films and keep saying, look at that ( look at what) some needle jumps on a piece of equipment and everyone goes, wow and yeah. Give it up boys, I wish I got paid what you get paid for seeing and hearing nothing.

ICE - IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Picture yourself driving in your car, shopping, at the theatre, zoo, anywhere and you are injured, have a heart attack or become ill in any way and you can't use your phone to call someone. When the paramedics arrive to treat you they can look at your phone and on the back is an ICE sticker "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" they will check your phone and call that number. This will let a loved one, friend or designated person know that you are injured or ill and the medics will let them know where they are taking you. To get this done go to the following website, http://www.icesticker.com/ and you can purchase one or several ICE Stickers for your family, friends or organization. Keep in mind that in 2006 approx. 1,600,000 emergency room patients were in no condition to supply information as to who they were or who to contact. If they had had the ICE Sticker this would not have been a problem. ICESticker.com has developed a sticker that is applied to the back of you phone to serve as an ALERT and INVITATION for paramedics to call your ICE contact. Contact http://www.icesticker.com/ to get your sticker(s), apply it to your phone and do the following steps: Choose a responsible person, inform them of what you did, add the contact name to your phone. Do yourself a favor, contact icesticker.com and see what you can do to get the word out.

WATCH CHILDREN IN SWIMMING POOLS

With the summer season approaching, many people will be opening their swimming pools. Please read this article and protect your young children.

Last year in Minneapolis a 6 year old girl sat on a swimming pool drain and it's powerful suction pinned her to the drain and partially sucked her intestines out. This happened last year on June 29 and the article states that the little girl has died. Tragic as it sounds all those with pools should remember this and take steps to insure this will not happen again. Please, please stay with and watch your child in any pool that has a drain. Also abide by pool safety rules and use proper flotation devices.

LOOKING FOR FOLLOW-UP IN TOILET CASE

I'm curious about the woman who sat on the toilet seat for two years at her boyfriends house. Haven't seen anything in the paper about it. I think I will go on line and see if I can find a Wichita newspaper that might have something in it. Didn't her friends or family miss her or not talk to her for two years. What about visitors to the boyfriends house. Didn't they have to use the bathroom? The newspaper article didn't give all the details. Still looking.

FOLLOW-UP TO TOILET SITTER

What do you do? In the case of the man who left his girlfriend his girlfriend on the toilet seat for two years. Do you press charges? Ness County Sheriff has asked county attorney to file charges against this man. Why not file charges. This is cruelty no matter how you look at it. Did he feed her or give any other needs she may have needed. I don't think so. Put him on the seat for two years. You have to be nuts to do something like that. The county attorney will have to decide if they will press charges. At the time of the printing of the article the attorney had not returned any phone calls. It will be interesting to see how this goes. Hope they will continue to print follow-ups to this.

TWO YEARS ON A WHAT????????

Many things made the news today but this one really caught my eye. In Wichita, Kansas a 35 year old woman was sitting on her boyfriends toilet for 2 YEARS. She was there so long that her skin grew around the toilet seat. After two years her boyfriend finally called police for help. The article doesn't say why the boyfriend left her there. I hope he was feeding her. At first she refused medical help but was finally convinced by meds and her boyfriend that she should be checked out. Police say that they are considering pressing charges. Doesn't say against who, I imagine the boyfriend and the article also did not indicate how heavy this woman was. I wonder if she now has a phobia about toilet seats. Maybe she should also get another boyfriend.

WHO IS THIS KATHY GRIFFIN?

I remember her as a funny comedian, one I enjoyed watching but I have changed my mind. Now that she has become popular she has gotten a big head, (I think). It seem whenever someone gets popular they think they can do anything. She did when she accepted a Emmy Award and joked about Jesus. There is a limit to being a smart mouth and she over stepped these boundaries. No she has become a ordained minister via the Internet through a on line church and went as far as to marry a couple in New York. Is this another mockery to religion. To the couple she married, you better check to see if is legal. I tend to shy away from her performances now and don't see her as a funny person anymore. I hope a lot of you do the same. Sorry Kathy that's the way it is.

LET HIM OUT, HE'S A GOOD GUY

A convicted killer was recently released from prison. The article never did say if he served all of his time or if he was paroled. Shortly after his release he was charged, Saturday, with the killings of six people. He killed his brother and his children ages 9, 7, 5, 4, and two. He seems to be a model citizen. He is accused of shooting his brother during an argument and then killing the children because he didn't want to leave any witnesses. Was he a model prisoner or did he give the right answers during therapy. At any rate he did kill again and this tells me he should not have been let out. Someone did not do their job.

THERES A WORM IN MY SALAD

I try to find interesting news articles to pass on. This one hits home especially that the Applebee's involved is just down the street from me. It seems that a couple came in, ordered dinner, ate and then the woman complained to the waitress that there were worms in her salad. After making a scene the management of Applebee's gave them a free meal. The couple, Tiffany Vance and Stephen Egnatz left the restaurant and in her haste to leave, Vance left her purse. Employees looked through the purse to find identification so they could contact the owner and much to their surprise they found a container with the same type of worms that were found in the woman's salad. Police were called and the rest is history.

SHE'S A CHAMP!

As I have mentioned in the past, I have a daughter living in Texas. She has a husband, two sons, a daughter and a stepdaughter. As well as taking care of the family, she also works at a Nursing Home in Moulton Texas. I'm am proud to say that she has been named "EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH". She earned her Certified Nurses Aid certificate here and was retained to work there. She has been there for seven months and it is said that she is well liked by all of the patients. She always has a smile on her face and will go out of her way to help an elderly patient as well as assist her fellow workers when asked. It has been said that many of the residents there want her to take care of them. God Bless her for doing the type of work she does, it takes a special person. Hurray for Lorri.
