Pregnant Woman Hit by Car While Fleeing From Bear
Ah... umm.. what?? That was the headline from a story on fox news. It sounds made up or like someone was reading a cartoon but it happened. The woman is fine the baby is fine the driver that hit the poor women, hit and ran and the bear is dead... d- e- a -d dead. One good thing about this story is that the child already has a middle name , girl or boy it's gonna be Bear. ( Naming kids is so hard ). She states that the bear was just slowly following her not rushing her and tearing her limb from limb, just strolling behind her, back 10 ft, to get away from the bear,she scrambled up an enbankment and was immediatly hit by a car. Apparently the driver didn't care to get involved in the drama and after hitting her and speaking to her briefly they drove off. No doubt to protect themselves from the bear by leaving it a sacrifice in the form of the scared, just been hit by a car, pregnant women. Somehow in all of this the bear was killed for his behavoir which I have to say was better than the driver's who hit the poor pregnant lady and ran away. The dear thing must have gotten too close to all the fuss on the road ( I hate rubber necking bears don't you ? ) and that's why she was killed, because as you know wild bears ARE wild. The women it was said was sad the bear had to be killed for strolling behind her in the woods where he lived ( the nerve of that bear ). She plans to honor the poor dead wild bear that was just doing bear stuff in a place where bears live ...THE FOREST. That lady bear sure made a mistake, she was curious about a person walking through her nieghborhood and now she's dead. Bears every where should be scared! ( hit and run drivers not so much ) But... she did help name a baby that should give her some level of comfort and peace in death. I'm sure meeting a bear in the woods is a very scary thing but you are in the place they habitate so is anyone really surprised? I will pray for you mommy and baby______ Bear______, and I am sending this out to the poor dead bear to honor her in death. I'm sure it will mean as much to her as giving your child the middle name Bear, although I am very sure, even being so honored, if she had to do it over again, she'ld GO THE OTHER WAY. See ya ...Kathryn
BURGER KING BOOTY COMMERCIAL * UPDATE
!! UPDATE !! I don’t know where you live in the states but I live in hardcore, midwestern hickville ( I love it too ). last night listening to the TV ramble I heard the BK booty commercial over and over ( after nine pm not before that, if I recall ) and it seems they have changed it and removed the most offensive ( to me ) part. The part where the old rapper guy sitting between two ” music video ” queens says ” booty is booty “ So why did they change it? Maybe becuase people and thier kids and with out thier kids were walking down the road to the MC DONALD S? Or was it because they could cut off three seconds and save thousands of dollars in air time? Who knows ( only the BK wizard knows ) but what ever it was it was a good thing ! I wish they would take off that terrible commercial all together for the reasons I listed in my other post, but hey even 3 less seconds of trashy TV aimed at our kids being off the air is a great. I would be interested to know if BK changed the ad every where or was it just to target us conservitive, uptight, closed minded midwetern folks. If you have seen this commercial in the past day or so drop me a comment and let me know, maybe BK is guilty of bad taste and profiling based on geographic location, socio-economic groups, etc.. oh no ! See you…Kathryn
MY LITTLE BIRD-ENS
DINNER TIME
- NOISY BABY FINCH
PRETTY RED HEADED FINCH LOOKING INTO THE WINDOW
SWEET BABY FINCH
MS BUNNY'S HOUSE
Here are couple of pictures of the bird-ens the lady next door and I feed. I feed seeds and she feeds mixed feed. My finches are redheaded ones I have cardinals that will actually eat out of this feeder if there is nothing on the ground. This year the pair I have had a little boy last year they had a girl and the daddy seems to be perpetually mad especially at my rearview mirrors, he will fight with himself in the mirror and then stand tyumphatly on top of them as the winner, on sunny days he also gets pissy with my car windows and I have even caught him egging on the bird he sees in the dining room window as he hangs from the feeder! One day I left my car windows open and I went out and he was on my driver’s seat. I opened the back hatch and the slider and the front doors and it was like an old Charlie Caplin movie. I would go to the back and he would sit on my seat back, I would go to the front door and he would fly right by the open slider and sit on the far back seat back. On and on we went untill I decided to crawl thru the van and he he flew out the back : ). I thought for a minute I was going to have to call the sherrif and have the mean sob arrested! I swear to you he was just having a good time at my expense, he wanted to see the old chubby lady try to crawl thru the van, heck he probably had a bet with his wife that he could train me to do it ! I also have doves ( my favorites ) that walk around under the feeder making thier coos and waiting for a finch to drop an unopened seed and are tame enough to touch ( if you wanted to which I don’t ). I have a pair of blue jays that try at least once a day to get on the feeder but they never stick. I have even see grackles hanging off of it, they are the reason I have this kind of feeder in the first place, if they can sit on a ledge feeder they will drain it in nothing flat! I also have robins, who knows what they eat, steak maybe : ) I even walked out one day and found a hawk sitting in the yard! I took a picture and sent it to a university website and they said it was a chicken hawk they asked me if I could get a closer picture and I said ” are you nuts? ” I saw the way he was ripping up what ever he was eating, I knew he could kick MY butt. I also have a jack rabbit bunny that the neighbor and I both feed and claim but she lives between my quanset wall and shell on my property so I win or lose depending on how you look at it. She has been there for a couple of years her door is between 2 rhubarb plants and so it is well hidden and last year when she had babies I almost stepped on one weeding them. I have one more visitor to my feeder a young red squirrel, it’s hysterical to watch him try to come from the roof down onto the metal awning and try to figure out how to get to that feeder. He will try and almost fall and will be hanging off the awning like a kid doing round abouts on a bar. I know one of these days he is going to go splat. Yesterday I let my tom cat out when he was in the middle of his try and I thought he was going to jump down on him and fight he was so mad. He was chattering so furiosly I brought the cat back in to save his life (although he was not gratfull for the effort ). In the middle of all that my fat cat will lay in the window sill very still and wait for her chance to get at a little fat seed filled finch. I imagine she hopes one day she will get up there and that screen will be gone. As you can probably tell I am very entertained by that feeder and the critters in my yard ( simple minds : ) I get a kick out of all the noise those finches make when they are fussing at it each other and if the window is open and even when it isn’t it is like living with a cage full of pissy little canaries and then one of them will sit on top the feeder and sing and it is such a sweet sound it reminds me why I spend a fortune on bird seed. See you…Kathryn
YES CHEF!! NO CHEF!! SAY IT AIN’T SO CHEF
O Chef Ramsey say it ain’t so ! You kept Andrea and canned Ben? That lady tanks every service, everyone, what do you see in her? I know Ben was a spaz and a little ( maybe alot ) obnoxious but ANDREA?? She should have gone home the week before this. I am usually surprised by who is in the final 3 but I can usually pick the final 2 and I am betting on Danny and Paula because they don’t get all flustered but. I’m sorry Chef …Andrea?? Who do you think would work under her for more than a minute?? Even the other chefs say she has a bad attitude and she was wineing that they should all just rebell and walk out, maybe you didn’t see it or hear it but I am sure your spies did and for sure the camera did. If she makes it into the final 2 I swear Iwill dump rissoto on my tv!!
WORKING ON A TRAGEDY IN TEXAS * SPERM HARVESTING??
I just heard this story about a mom in Austin that had a 21 yearold son that was hurt and died outside a of a bar in Texas on March 27th and now she has a judges ok to harvest his sperm so that her son will have the 3 boys he wanted to have ( he had the names all picked out, Tod, Van and Hunter ). So here are my question s…how will she ‘ harvest ” his sperm when he is dead? I mean how long can it be good when a man dies when it dosn’t live too long outside the body once it is released.? Who will be the recipient of the sperm? Assuming ( yes I know ) for a minute that it will be a suragot, is she aware that she will be putting 3 MORE children into the world who have no parents and is she aware that there are plenty of kids like that now that need homes? I’m sure she is grief stricken to have lost her son so suddenly especially when all he did was go out for a night of fun, but this is a totally irresponsible thing to do and she would be better off to honor her son’s memory by adopting 3 unwanted kids and giving them a wonderful new life. I am sure she can change thier names leagally if she insists on it lots of kids go by names that are different from thier leagal names. What makes her think that she will get 3 boys with his sperm? What if she gets 3 girls instead ? Will she have them aborted or give them up for adoption? This is wrong! SHE may have her reasoning clouded by grief but the judge has lost his mind. I say if she goes through with this and gets all girls, let the judge raise them since he thinks this is such a good idea!. I feel terrible for this women, she is not thinking clearly, when a person’s thoughts are shaded by a traumatic event they often do not stay within the relm of rational thought. That’s when we need HELP, not an accomplice to our crazyness. I hope she reconsiders this and I hope the judge gets alot of flack for his decision. I am sorry any mom any where has to lose a child and I will keep this women in my prayers but I hope she decides not to go through with her plan. See you…Kathryn PS If you want another child and want to help the world become a foster parent or adopt, If you adopt a 5 year old you will only have 5 less years of parenting than if you had a baby and … NO labor, NO diapers, NO baby pookey BUT… you still get to put them through college : )
SO LEVI JOHNSTON WANTS HIS PARENTAL RIGHTS
Levi Johnston is famous for one thing…getting an underage girl pregnant. What a guy! Now he wants his parental rights and is crying on Larry King with his mommy and sister ( I guess she wants to be famous too ) Hey Levi parental rights are not just your right to see your child whenever you want or take him to the ballgame for a day. It is a lot of things like CHILD SUPPORT, I believe you said you hadn’t paid anything to the mommy of the child you want rights to. Parental rights also means emotional support, love, changing diapers, on and on and also if you love your child emotional support for the parent that is raising the child. So what if she is a famous mom’s little girl that you got pregnant and her mom is supporting her, she has physical custody of of your baby and believe me day to day care of a baby is alot harder than visiting them once in a while or having them for a day ot two a week. If you want the Palin’s and Bristol to respect you as a father act like one, pay some support show them you are responsible enough to care for your son if you have him with you. I would imagine that if you are on Sarah Palin’s bad side it is no fun but I’m sure she will respect you if you atleast try to be there for your son and her daughter. I saw you on TV a while back driving a big SUV on your way to the gym… Humm?? Maybe you could sell the suv and give up the gym membership and provide for your son if you don’t want to work fulltime for his care. Instead you are on national TV saying you have a lawyer and how you have all these things for your son at home. Did you pay for them or did your mom? Why don’t you pack them up and send them where they are needed, to your son! A lawyer , really ? you have alot of nerve and did you stop and consider how you are stressing out the mother of your child? A very young girl raising a baby as a single parent or don’t you care. You would have been better off to have spent your ‘ Tv ” time with your SON or WORKING! I certainly hope you are not having sex with anyone elses daughter since you are clearly not mature enough to handle your business if something like a pregnancy happens, or before so that it dosn’t happen. Grow up and take care of your child, if I was Sarah Palin I would encourage my daughter not to let you take the baby home too, who knows if you would bring him back not to mention the care issues. If I were you I would do everything in my power to prove to Bristol Palin and her parents that you are good enough to take care of your responsibilties and I would spend every minute Bristol Palin let me spend with my son untill I could have atleast some custody visits with him alone or with my family. Being a sperm donor dosn’t make you a father neither does ranting and raving about your rights when you are not helping your child. On the flip side giving birth dosn’t make you a mother either but I doubt that you are saying he is not well cared for or you and Mommy would have sued for custody already. What if she didn’t have rich parents to help her and was on the state YOU would be MADE to support your son then. Stand up and be a man… stop whining… go to work and support your little boy, then MAYBE you will deserve to call yourself a daddy.
NOT THE LAWN AGAIN!!***SIGH***
Didn’t I get that done last year? I feel like I just put the lawnmower away!! I love gardening and all that but I hate to mow with a push mover. It is such a hassle and I am quite a sight with my mower on a leash( alias electric mower. ) I bought a riding one at auction right before Darrel and I split up again and he was his typical jerky self and told me I could come and get it if I could put it on my truck by myself so I could take it home. I don’t have a truck. I have freinds that could have helped but it would have just caused a fuss. So I am looking at another long year of tethered mowing. ***BIG SIGH*** Thank you graphics fairy!!!
MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH CHILD ABUSE AND ANGELS
My first real encounter with extreme (I didn’t know how else to say it ) child abuse was when I was 10 or 11. I was babysat by my mother’s best friend who was a stay at home mom and she and her husband where big in the foster care program of our state. They had 4 adopted kids ( and me everyday ) 2 boys , 2 girls, all were abused or neglected kids. I am telling you this woman was the sweetest , kindest person on earth. She had family rules and believe me she was tough about them, not mean but tough minded. She had time outs for infractions and her oldest son and I, who were the same age, did ALOT of time . In the few years I practically lived at thier house they took in another kid with the intention of adoption. The day he arrived we found out he couldn’t talk only make sounds and he had terrible scars the worst being a hugh gash from the end of his lip to his ear. I won’t give his name but will call him R , he was 8 maybe and we older kids were told the story of what happened to him ( the entire story , not the kindergarton version told to the 3 younger kids ). I can still remember after all these years sitting at the kitchen table and being told this story. Here is what happened to R. He was abused and neglected by his family and hurt by an uncle who lived in the house with his family. One day R made the uncle so mad becuase he refused to do what he wanted that he got an axe and started to use it on him. An AXE!! It makes me still cry when I think about what happened to him. R was left to die on the floor alone. When someone in his family returned home they found him still amzingly alive. He was rushed to a hospital and survived his terrible injuries which I’m telling you he had scars every where. He could no longer speak due to his abuse, trauma and injury to his mouth. He wouldn’t even try. After a long hospital stay and surgeries and state custody that got him away from his terrible family an angel came into his life in the form of my babysitter. She saved him and we helped too in our own kid way. We were told” R is just like you guys don’t you dare treat him any other way “. We didn’t, he immediatly became part of the thier family and my friend, and another rule breaker just ike the rest of us : ) R’s angel would make him try and ask for things he wanted like banana. cereal and the candy ( he LOVED candy ), and we all helped him say the words and we all thought we were great teachers : ) At first he was stubborn about trying but when he finally felt secure enough he started to try. It was hard to speak with the injury to his mouth and he never spoke very clearly but he wanted to talk again because he just wanted to be a regular kid and he knew that was his ticket. This story dosn’t have an entirly happy ending, as you can imagine he struggled with his self image and the abuse he suffered before he came to that family. After all the plastic surgery, counceling, speech therapy at home and professionally and love he recieved he was never really whole again and suffered severe depressions that were hard on everyone when he was older. I hope I have hidden his identity well enough so only he or family or people who already know would recognize his story, if not I apologize to you R sincerly I did not ask your permission to write this but it was a story people should hear. Everyday we hear how another child is abused, murdered, sexually assulted on an on, something has to make it so disgustingly real to people especially to people it dosn’t personally touch, that we can all work together to find a solution to the increasing number of predators, abusers and pedofiles that walk the earth and the damage they do. I don’t mean to say people who are not touched by abuse don’t try to help those who are but when you hear about the little Sandras of the world possibly murdered by her freinds mother, or the Calees of the world whos own mother probably killed her, it’s easy to feel sadness and grief… but… they are in California and Florida not in small town midwest where you live and the kids are safe to play outside everyday and nothing bad happens in the house down the street or next door.( by the way you are kidding youself!! ) Please help end child abuse in any way you can, anything you do may be just a small part of the big picture and you might not think it was much yourself but it will make a difference to someone, some where, someday. Love you R and everybody else in that family. I miss you and think about you often…Kathryn PS The angel “ in this story passed away 10 or 12 years ago, if there are real angels in heaven I’m sure she has taken her place amoung them. THE BEAUTIFUL GRAPHIC IN THIS POST IS FROM THE WODERFUL GRAPHIC FAIRY GO TO MY BLOGROLL AND LINK TO HER SIGHT. I LOVE IT!!
CINDY AND GEORGE ANTHONY
George tried to commit suicide and now we read how Cindy Anthony ” plotted ” suicide. How are we suppose to feel about them, better because yes thier little granddaughter lived with them and was missing a month before they did anything but now they feel guilt? They didn’t step in and do thier grandparents job and deal with a daughter that was an unfit parent who refered to her darling little girl as ” the little snot head ” and ” brat ” I would feel quilty too. They had to know what thier daughter was like if she was under thier noses. HAD TO I am not saying it is thier fault the daughter they raised in all probabilty killed thier granddaughter but come on they knew the person they raised and what her lifestyle was like. They may not have known she was a piece of trash capable of killing her own baby but they knew SHE was an immature brat that had no business raising a child. If I let my adult daughter and her baby live with me I sure the hell would notice if my daughter came in and out for a DAY without her child I would have wondered where my grandchild was and found out, then, not a MONTH later! Parents have to take a some blame for thier children’s behavoir she still lived at home and was oviously a wild girl, they don’t need to take it all because it is apparent thier daughter had mental issues with the me me lifestyle and being a pathological liar. They do have to live with the fact they didn’t do anything to find out where Calee was till she was gone a month, they may have asked before that but they didn’t contact anyone about it. That is thier shame and it combined with the thought that thier daughter may be a cold blooded child killer well I think it is understanable why they would contemplate a way out of all that pain. They stood by thier daughter because I think anyone would have a hard time thinking of your own child as being able to kill, no matter what the evidence said and there would always be a hope in your heart that this was all a mistake or bad dream and that they were innocent, especially if they are pleading innocence, But… they called the police for a reason and they suspected thier daughter’s made up story wasn’t true. I suspect when Calee’s remains were found where they were they knew what the truth was. I heard stories about how they went out to a fancy dinner the night they were informed of Calee’s body being located and how awfull that seemed to people but they were in grief over the loss of a daughter and thier granddaughter who knows how people will react in any given situation. I don’t feel sorry for them becuase they may not have known or believed thier daughter had killed thier granddaughter but they knew she was not taking care of her and she was not being raised very well. If they didn’t notice thier granddaughter missing for a month when she lived in the same house it kind of makes you wonder how much attention they paid to Casey when she was growing up. The victim in all of this is little CALEE Anthony not George and Cindy or Casey although that’s what she wants everyone to believe. One more child supposidly victimized and murdered by someone they trusted and no one cared for a month she was even gone. I’m so sad people seem to think of children as property that can be stolen like money by strangers and thrown away by thier own families if they become a problem for thier lifestyles. We need to wake up and protect our kids from this. There should be mandatory life sentences for people accused of murdering even molesting, beating, or starving a child. In my opinion we either lock up our kids or we lock up the people who are a danger to them. I vote for option number two. Lock up the people who hurt kids let our kids have the safe happy childhoods they desearve to have.
