Hot coffee is the best way to start a morning. Humans do well with a set morning routine. Mine includes making a small pot of coffee with my fresh ground, custom blend of coffee beans. I sip on it while reading my email, Facebook and newspaper links. Then, as I’m waking up, I can deal with putting on makeup, choosing the day’s clothes, and fixing my hair. An hour later, I’m ready to tackle the world!
There is this one couple that has been coming here for the past 4 years. I see them several times a year in fact but there was something a bit different about the lady this time. Come to find out, she had plastic surgery done. It was absolutely amazing how much younger she looked.
Now I’m not as old as she is but it sure started me thinking just a bit. If you are going to have something like this done, please make sure you find a reputable plastic surgeon. We have all seen and heard about the nightmares of a bad plastic surgeon so what ever you do, make sure you find a good one and not some fly by night doctor. I sure will if and when I have something like that done. In fact, I’ll ask Mrs. Thompson who did hers since she looks so good.
I had heard about the young woman that had been held in her parents cellar for 24 years along with her 7 children that her father fathered with her. What an absolutely awful thing this so called man did to his daughter. I’m sorry but his wife should have been charged too. There’s no way she didn’t know what was going on.
Well now I have learned about an 18 year old young woman that was abducted when she was 10 years old and held captive in a mans basement for 8 and a half years. She managed to escape and the man committed suicide. That’s a cowards way out if you ask me. The worst part of both of these stories is what the younger woman said:
“Life in freedom doesn’t feel as good as I once imagined,” she told Austria’s Krone newspaper. She said her life had “changed radically” on the day of her escape, but that she still does not feel “really free”.
She told the Austrian Press Agency that the public’s expectations of victims of crime were “astonishing”. She said that if victims tried to hide away, they would be faced with accusations that the public had the right to know what happened. But if they gave in to pressure and told some of their story, they would be accused of seeking the limelight, and consequently be seen as public figures with little right to privacy, she added.
She may face more questioning by the authorities over the next few months, as the investigations continue. “I’m not afraid of more questioning but I find it unpleasant,” she told the Kurier. “I feel like an uprooted orchid,” she said. “Some people try to plant me where they would like to have me. But I want to grow in a place I’ve chosen myself.”
Everyone has always known that there are ‘Moon Shiners’ in the mountains. I personally don’t know a single one but then again I might and just don’t know it. I do know of a man that drank some bad homemade liquor and ended up in the hospital but never anything like this.
The death toll from a mass poisoning involving home-brewed alcohol in the western Indian state of Gujarat has risen to 71. A police officer in the state’s largest city, Ahmedabad, said another five people were seriously ill in hospital after consuming the contaminated liquor at a party on Sunday. The Press Trust of India reported that six police officers in the city had been suspended and transferred for failing to crack down on illegal distilleries.
The state’s home affairs minister yesterday announced an inquiry into the easy availability of bootleg liquor in the region. Selling and consuming alcohol is a criminal offence in Gujarat, which is India’s only dry state. Deaths from cheap alcohol are common in India. Last year nearly 170 people died after drinking from a single batch of toxic liquor in southern India.
Remember me telling you about my new petting zoo? Well all of a sudden, there are baby animals everywhere. What else would you expect with it being full blown spring.
We have twin pygmy goats, one boy and one girl, we have baby chicks running round everywhere, baby rabbits and I think my miniature donkey is expecting too because she’s getting awfully round in the middle. The new babies have been the talk of the town too. Nothing like babies to bring the crowds in, now is there?
