Was having an ok day - then read this story. :( Nowhere else to put this really, if I should post it at all.

We had heard about the crime, and I feared this outcome, since LE wasn't releasing any info at all. Just makes me think, "Why"?? There's children; this shouldn't happen. :(

Just venting, I guess. I know the holidays bring depression for many, and we don't know what else was going on....just so very sad.

This happen near you Anne? .... That's so sad when innocent kids are involved.


An 18th birthday party last Saturday night, a few miles away from me, ended up with 2 kids dead, and 22 in the hospital. These kids put everything on the Internet! .. and over 100 teen-agers showed up at that house for the party.
Two uninvited shooters came too .. they cornered many of the kids in the garage and started shooting.
I heard helicopters flying overhead around midnight and figured something bad happened in the area. The helicopters were headed to hospitals.

It's such big news, I started another post on it under Gen Discussions. What a tragedy!

It's about 30 miles from us, Katie. Yes, just so incredibly sad that things like this happen; what could go so terribly wrong.....

I heard about those shootings and thought, not again!!! :( Do they know why, or were the shooters strangers just there to cause grief?? It's sad that they put so much out on the internet; in the open for anyone to see. Still - these things should never happen!!!!
 
Anything 'advertised' on the Internet like that seems to be an invitation for trouble .. happens all the time, doesn't it?
I believe all the people there went to the same high school, including the shooters.

But does anyone ever learn from things like this? .. I don't think so.

Jill, I hate we live so far apart. I LOVE sunbathing in my bikini and it's so much more fun with a friend to chat with. Oh, well...and I just bought a new string one that I would love to show off. (OMG, this totally belongs in the LIES section):p

That is horrible! Kids just don't think about posting for the crazy world to see. I just checked it out on-line and someone apparently realized advertising it wasn't a good thing.

Copied from write-up: He said the organizers arranged to have people searched as they entered the home. "Anytime you have to factor in a bouncer and being searched at the door, you have already taken a turn for the worse," he said.

I spent three hours stripping two stalls----------that is because Mason the Cur dog went AWOL over to the neighbors and wouldn't come when I called him. It was a woman that abused him, before I rescued him, he will come in a blink when Mr. TWH whistles to him but when I call him, he gets that head set that tells me, he thinks he doesn't have to listen.

Getting him in the car was worse yet - he hates the car, probably because he associates it with getting dumped off. Kara the Dobe/Rott was my Savior because she convinced him to get in. Trouble was Mason would not get in the back seat of the Saturn by himself.

He got in the front so, there two 80+ pound dogs in one front bucket seat after I managed to push his fat white hind end out of my seat. The car is standard shift, I couldn't have him sitting half way across the gear shift:cower:

Since he won't listen to me, Mr. Blue Eyes is done coming out in the real world unless Mr. TWH is home. I have never had a dog that favored men but I've never rescued a dog that the woman was the abuser, either:mad:

Tuesday a new equine chiropractor will be here to work on two of the horses. If my Arab doesn't like him, he won't be back. The last male chiro that worked on my Arab, hurt him and that was his biggest mistake of the day. Human or animal, not all chiropractors are created equal; some perform miracles while others make things worse:beatdeadhorse:

I was laughing in picturing you & the 2 big dogs in the front seat. I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around a woman dog abuser, you just don't hear of it often. Thank goodness for your rescue and I sincerely believe in karma for the disgusting abuser ...hoping.

Painter's been, re-done all three decks. He promised he'd come back and do the job for a carton of beer but won't take it or cash.

What have I done wrong? :confused: ;)

Say what....? Unless this belongs under the Lies thread, please send him my way. Was he a family member, or do you have some good blackmail dirty on him?
 
SnagglePuss found a new place for his naps, which means he spends about 14 hours a day in it ...

Introducing - the SnaggleBasket!

The fact that his chubby butt barely fits into it doesn't seem to matter to him - he's made this basket a home.
 
Awww...SnagglePuss looks so cute in there, those kitties sure do know how to charm us! :love_heart: Aside from our walk in the park, the only thing useful I did today was take down and wash the big living room windows...hubby helped taking them off and putting them back up...now there's a clear view to watch the birdies and squirrels. :)

We sat down with him afterwards and had a cup of tea and biscuits. Then he sought some gardening advice from my gardener; she gave him some gardening magazines and he left, refusing payment.

PS: We had a problem with the decks last year and the job turned bad ..... he felt bad and offered the re-coat for the beer. :)

TWH, I envy your energy girl. I can picture the car and dogs lol, lol. I started cleaning cabinets last week and still haven't finished so will give it a go later today.

Had a Dr appt this morning to get test results - all is good and nothing serious going on. Raining a blahhhhh day here today. May just have to sit and read all day....
 
Drs. For me too. Heart dr. Wants me to have chemical stress tests and a thingy I will wear for 24 hours to monitor heart rate. God, how I hate going to drs. Cause all they want are tests and more tests. No wonder medical is in so much trouble.

Oh yea, another new pill to take too. The Xarelto I'm taking now for my heart was $300 a month until my prescription coverage kicked in. Now it's $45 a month but with all the other meds were taking, wife included, it's going to be a real hardship. Welcome to the Golden years.
 
For me it is trying to declutter again, i have a large box so far, and also i am hoping a woman who rang me about my coffee table i have on Gumtree turns up and buys it, the money will be handy towards rego for the car

Well, that explains it..still in all it was nice of him to return and make good on the job. Not many like that anymore.

TICA: Just wondering how goes the market for the house, I haven't heard you mention anything about it lately. Did you take it off the market for winter or are you cleaning cupboards anticipating an offer maybe?

Snaggles says: "Does this basket make my butt look fat?" Uhh, Phil, is it just the picture or has Snaggles grown twice his size since you last posted his picture looking out the window? Did he ever have that "brain" surgery?

Pappy, your are so right about the tests. I have determined it's a scam game and the doctors just keep pushing you off to other doctors for this and that test, and after it's all said and done they still don't know what's wrong with you. I've been b***hing about this for almost four months now. Since after having every test likely know to the medical profession, and they didn't find out what was wrong with me that caused the intestinal bleed that landed me in the hospital, my doctor set me up for a round of cardio test because I complained about tiredness.

That was three weeks ago. I still haven't heard the results of the three cardio tests and a blood panel that they told me I would hear about in a few days..Ask me if I give a big fat rat's behind anymore. Nope, I do not...not even enough to call them to find out.

I have made an early New Years resolution that there will be no doctors in my future next year. Not even if I am bleeding out of every orifice, puking and speaking in tongues.

The chemical stress test was one of the tests I did. I don't know if you have ever had it done, but it's not fun. Don't let it scare you when they inject you, you will feel very weird, nauseous, short of breath and most likely have an instant headache. This will pass fairly quickly, and you will feel better after you eat.

The drugs they push on you are the worst part of the medical scenario, and I feel for ones like you and your wife that are chained to them and struggle financially to pay for them. Hubby and I are lucky in that respect, I take none and he has one for prostrate. Other than that, so far we have dodged that bullet.

Pappy, sorry, I really hate to be so negative about medical care, and have no real words to lift your spirits, other than to say I understand your frustration and hope the best for your test results and new meds. Hope you have better luck in getting the results than I have.

The scary part is that as bad as we think medical care is now, hang on because what we have now is great up against what we are in for shortly.

AAhhh yes, the Golden Years...well I guess they are what we make them, even if a few ingredients are missing.

Yesterday I finished draining hoses,covering water spigots, putting plants and sweet potatoes inside and covering cabbages getting ready for the cold.

This morning at 5am it's 21F. It'll drop a few more degrees by dawn. I think I'll just hibernate today.
 
Ozarkgal - haven't sold the house but am trying to get rid of "stuff" that I don't use. I extended the contract until the end of January, but winter isn't usually a peak time to sell. Although I'd love to get going on the new place, I'm quite content to stay here for the winter. I actually love this house but couldn't manage to get the zoning required for a barn so made the decision to move on. When I first moved here in 2000, the area was really quiet with a little strip mall for groceries, booze, doctors, vets etc. Now we have shopping centers on both sides, traffic is crazy, 3 vet hospitals, two major grocery stores, 4 gas stations, two Tim Horton's etc etc. Getting a bit crowded for my liking, but I live on a dead end street so we have remained the same.

I'm a firm believer that things happen or not for a reason so I'll wait it out. If it doesn't sell by the Spring, I'll move the camper to the land so that I can get started on fencing.

The flu has hit our area so I'm staying away from the general population for a few days. My daughter went to the Dr. last night who confirmed she has it but I'm hoping I'll be OK as I had a flu shot on Tuesday. She's seems better today and the fever is better so I'm pretty sure she is on the mend.
