So you are 20 years old, just finished your Spring Exams and living life to the fullest. Remember those days? Carefree? No worries? No REAL bills yet, living life to the fullest, partying, the only worries were how many people were coming to the party next weekend to kick off Summer and were we going to make it til the end of the month with the rest of the detergent in the laundry room?
WRONG….time to WAKE UP. IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE (ie: have a permit or license) YOU NEED TO REALIZE THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU BECAUSE IT JUST DID TO THIS GIRL AND A PASTOR OF A LEXINGTON, SOUTH CAROLINA CHURCH.
First and foremost, to the family and friends of Pastor Randall:
I’m so awfully sorry for your loss! I know he is with God now and looking upon us. I truly hope you find comfort and peace during this truly difficult and emotional time. I couldn’t imagine how you feel and I am happy you have already found it in your hearts to forgive Mary M. Reames for this decision. I do not believe everyone has totally forgiven her, because I think forgiveness is a process you must go through with grief, but they say they have forgiven her at the bond hearing through a family spokesperson. I don’t know how you do it, and I have to say, you are so very much better people than I could ever be because I could never be that forgiving, but I am truly amazed. My heart and prayers go out to you in the coming days, nights, hours, minutes, months, years as the grieving process goes on for you.
To Mary Reames Family: I cannot say anything, but this is a complete and utter tragic loss on both sides no matter how you look at it. No one will ever win with this. Keep a vigiliant watch over your daughter. She is going to be highly upset. I’m not going to tell you anything that you have already heard a million times or already told yourselves a million and one times already. She may do things that are completely uncharacteristic for her because she is acting out. Please get her treatment. I know it seems like life is over and you live vicariously through your daughter, but remember, this is happening to her, not you.
To Mary Reames: You made a very, very poor choice and you know that. You have thrown away your future, your career, basically any chance you have at stable employment, any chance in the legal field (if you wanted to be a lawyer or paralegal), medical field (you are very smart – 3.6 GPA is really good, you could have gotten into med school), government job, pretty much any job that requires a background check; you may have thrown away scholarships, I don’t know; I’m sure you lost your job at a the lawyer’s office; your friends; everything.
You need to stop drinking. Find out why you drink. Its not for fun. I really hope you get the help you need and deserve. I hope you look at this as your BOTTOM. People find their bottom either in prison, never, or die because of it. You have a choice now. Alcoholism is a disease. You can take charge of this and turn it around. Mental illness is a disease, just like cancer or diabetes. Depression is a very serious illness. I want you to know that because you are at a higher risk for substance abuse if you are depressed or vice versa. I hope you get the counseling, help and support you need.
TO EVERYONE: THIS IS A TRAGEDY FOR EVERYONE. NO ONE WINS IN A FELONY DUI CASE. NO ONE WINS IN A DUI CASE. WHEN WILL IT STOP? IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRINK AND DRIVE, PLEASE CALL SOMEONE OR HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO, EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE ONLY A DROP!!!!
I truly hope and pray that everyone in this case receives and seeks counseling because this is truly a very difficult time and they will all need every resource they can get their hands on. Please everyone stay safe, be careful and don’t drink and drive or use drugs and drive. Next time you see a paramedic or firefighter, thank them for all they do because it’s not easy to do their jobs and God Bless!
Watch the full Bond Hearing for Mary M. Reames at www.wistv.com. This is a truly sad, sad story.
I normally don’t do this, but as some of you may know, I suffer from complex migraines. Migraines can be a devastating disability especially if you do not have the proper preventative and abortive medications. Unfortunately, sometimes migraine sufferers still suffer from migraines even when they are on preventative medication, which is why the abortive medication is so handy at times. As soon as a person feels signs of a migraine, they are supposed to take the abortive medication and it is supposed to quash the migraine. Once the migraine is quashed the person can get back to everyday activities and life without missing work, being in bed all day, or even getting sick.
Many of the abortive medications migraineurs use now are classified as triptans. Common name brands are Imitrex, Zomig, Maxalt, etc. According to studies I have read and according to my neurologist triptans are basically a Godsend to anyone suffering from a migraine. Unfortunately, there are risks and side effects to all medications whether prescribed, herbal or over the counter that may or may not affect a person. Thus there is a warning related to the use of triptans in Stroke Survivors or Stroke Patients.
According to my neurologist, triptans are not to be prescribed for persons who have suffered a stroke or cerebrovascular accident. In these cases, a medication called Midrin is normally prescribed as the abortive medication. Recently, I was informed by several people who the drug Midrin was discontinued as well as the generics for Midrin. Even when I went to my neurologist for an appointment last week he informed me Midrin would be difficult to find and he unfortunately has had several patients call him requesting other medications due to the fact that the pharmacies are having difficulties obtaining Midrin and its generics.
Some of you may also know, in May of 2006, I had a ischemic stroke in the brain stem at my neurosurgeon’s office in Charleston, South Carolina while there for a routine check up on a lumbar fusion he had performed in January of that year. Yes, I was so lucky and I am eternally grateful and feel so blessed I was where I happened to be when this incident occurred and for the prompt response of my neurosurgeon who I credit with saving my life. Even though I have recovered, and we have found the reason I had a stroke (rare genetic blood disorder which causes clotting combined with birth control pills), I still am in the boat with the people who cannot take triptans. Midrin is the only drug that is/was available to people in my situation.
Now that finding Midrin and/or it’s generics is almost impossible and destined to cause a migraine, stroke survivors do not have an alternative at this time, unless perhaps Excedrin Migraine works for them, which it does not for me. I decided I would research this issue to try to shed some light on why this drug and it’s generics has been discontinued and what other recourse people in similar situations to myself will have. My hope in sharing this with everyone, is so they can get information regarding Midrin, it’s generics and why it has been discontinued without doing all the research I had to do because no one had an answer for me.
Below is an article I found which sums up the issues concerning Midrin and it’s generics the best. I would like to say, I am in absolutely NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORMgiving out medical advice. I am just citing research I have done and sharing my experience so others in situations similar to mine can understand and perhaps discuss other options with their specialist or doctor. On a further note, I do believe that you should always speak with your doctor and discuss all the options if you have migraines and do not get relief. Doctors and Specialist, such as a Neurologist are more apt to be able to explain side effects, drug interactions, and possible complications from prescription medications as well as other drugs and I encourage everyone who is concerned with this to discuss their unique situation with their doctor. I am not a doctor, just passing on some research, I hope will be beneficial since it was so beneficial to me!
Lastly, before I copy and paste the article, if anyone does have a prescription for Midrin and cannot find it at their normal pharmacy, I do encourage you to call around to other pharmacies if this medication does work for you, as I have heard it is still available, just limited. Best of luck to my fellow migraineurs. There also is no intent to plagiarise this article. (Unfortunately, I am not sure how to properly cite this source, but do intend on giving credit to the writer/researcher of the website and article, therefore I posted her information below in case, I cited it incorrectly at the end).
Here is the article from a website called “Help for Headaches and Migraines” retrieved today, January 19, 2011. The URL is: http://www.helpforheadaches.com/articles/2010/Discontinued-Migraine-Medications.htm The article is by Teri Robert, dated December 15, 2010. (This is a wonderful website for headache and migraine sufferers and I fully recommend taking a peek at it!)
The article is as followed:
Midrin and Other Discontinued Migraine Medications
Now What Do We Do?
Midrin, is a unique medication that can be used as a Migraine abortive or for tension-type headaches. It’s a compound medication consisting of three ingredients – isometheptene mucate, dichloralphenazone, and acetaminophen. The isometheptene mucate helps reverse the vasodilation that sometimes occurs during a Migraine. Dichloralphenazone is a sedative, and acetaminophen is a simple analgesic.
Midrin has been a problem to get for some time now. There was a shortage of one of the ingredients in 2007. That was followed by some kind of manufacturing issues the manufacturer (Caraco) had a bit later. Finally, Caraco permanently discontinued Midrin. Tracing other medications with the same ingredients has been difficult. For some time, Epidrin, Duradin, and MigraTen (all with the same ingredients as Midrin) were available. Then patients had problems finding a pharmacy that could get those, but a “generic” isometheptene mucate / dichloralphenazone /acetaminophen was available.
Now, most (if not all) of those products have disappeared from pharmacies. To understand this better, we need to know that Midrin was first made and marketed before the current FDA drug approval process was in place. It was never reviewed by the FDA for efficacy and safety. Nor were any of the other similar products. And that’s where the problem lies.
I discovered this issue with FDA approval when I emailed the FDA to ask why there were so many problems getting this medication. They replied:
Dear Teri,
Thank you for writing to the Division of Drug Information in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
I believe most, if not all, manufacturers have ceased to make Midrin and its ‘generic’ versions. FDA has not yet asked manufacturers to discontinue manufacturing. However, please understand that Midrin has never been approved by FDA, and companies may have ceased manufacturing to comply with FDA regulations. You may find FDA enforcement actions against unapproved products at: http://tinyurl.com/yapmz9c.
Midrin is not FDA approved, but is on the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) list. Since there is no approved application for Midrin, there are no approved generics for this product either. The products you are referring to are not generics, but rather other products that contain the same ingredients as Midrin.
The following is a brief general history, relevant to Midrin:
In 1962, Congress amended the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to give the FDA the authority to regulate medicines on the basis of efficacy in addition to safety. That is, the amendment required manufacturers to show that their drug products were effective, as well as meeting the requirement of the earlier Act, that the products must be safe. As a result of the 1962 amendment, all the drugs approved under New Drug Applications (NDAs) between 1938 and 1962 had to be reviewed again for efficacy. Furthermore, for every drug initially sold between 1938 and 1962 with approval by FDA, five others were sold without FDA approval. Many of these drugs were chemically identical copies of previously approved drugs, and hence were known as “me-too” drugs. Many others were combinations of approved ingredients. FDA decided that the efficacy study, to be fair and to accomplish its purpose of improving therapeutics in the United States, had to apply as well to these non approved drugs. Because the resources of the FDA were too limited to do this, the agency asked the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) to assist in the review effort. The NAS/NRC chose 30 panels, each composed of six experts, to conduct the review of various categories of drugs. The manufacturers of drugs with NDAs that had been submitted between 1938 and 1962 were asked to submit to the FDA their evidence that the drug was effective. The NAS/NRC panels then reviewed the data. In late 1967, the panels began submitting their reports to the FDA. The FDA formed a task force to implement the recommendations in the reports. This was the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) task force. DESI products can continue to be marketed until a final determination is made.

Midrin isn’t the only Migraine medication affected by FDA efforts to put all medications on the market through the stringencies of the current FDA approval process. In 2007, many ergotamine medications were ordered pulled from the market, also because they hadn’t gong through the FDA approval process and there was inadequate efficacy and safety data. Some ergotamine abortive medications have gone through the process and were not affected by this order. They include Migranal Nasal Spray, D.H.E. 45, and Cafergot. If you want to know what medications are approved and available, go to Drugs@FDA and enter ergotamine in the search box.
So, what’s a Migraineur to do?
For those who have a history of or risk factors for stroke and other cardiovascular issues, this presents quite a problem. Midrin was the one Migraine abortive that wasn’t contraindicated for them. I can only suggest that you have a conversation with your doctor about this. Some doctors will prescribe triptans for some of these patients, depending on their situation, if they feel that the Migraine itself presents as much risk as the medications.
To talk with your doctor, it would be helpful to know what Migraine abortive medications have been FDA approved and are currently available:
Triptans:
sumatriptan: available in generic and brand names Imitrex / Imigran; needle free sumatriptan injection available under the brand name Sumavel DosePro. Also available with sumatriptan and naproxen sodium in one tablet, brand name Treximet. Sumatriptan nasal spray available under brand name Imitrex / Imigran.
naramig: available in generic and brand names Amerge / Naramig. Tablets only.
rizatriptan: brand name Maxalt. Regular tablets and tablets that melt on tongue.
zolmitriptan: brand name Zomig. Regular tablets, nasal spray, and tablets that melt on tongue.
eletriptan: brand name Relpax.
frovatriptan: brand name Frova.
almotriptan: brand name Axert. This is the only triptan FDA approved for adolescents ages 12 to 17 years.
Ergotamines:
D.H.E. 45 injectable. Can be injected subcutaneously by patient at home. Also used in hospital and doctor’s offices in IV injections and IV infusions.
Migranal Nasal Spray
Ergomar sublingual ergotamine tartrate tablets
Cafergot ergotamine and caffeine tablets. Discontinued by all manufacturers but Sandoz as of this date.
ergotamine tartrate and caffeine tablets (same as Cafergot) manufactured by West Ward and Mikart as of this date
Migergot Suppository (same ingredients as Cafergot). Manufactured by G and W Labs as of this date
Summary and comments:
The loss of Midrin as a treatment option isn’t good news for us. The likelihood of any company investing the time and research dollars necessary to apply to the FDA for a drug equivalent to Midrin is slim. Yes, many people are still using it, but far fewer than before the triptans were developed, and triptan usages is up. The cost of triptans is down since two of them are now available as generics.
Some people have been under the impression that the 2007 issue with ergotamine abortives resulted in all of them being removed from the market. As you can see above, this is not the case.
Researchers are working to develop more Migraine abortive medications. In their research, they’re working to find medications that won’t present dangers to patients with history of or risk factors for stroke and other cardiovascular events. That doesn’t help us today, but it does give me hope for the future.

Personal Conversation with Dr. Mark K. Lencke, M.D. on January 13, 2011.
Murders Natalie Hollaway in Aruba and basically gets away with it. Aruba lets him off. Then he goes to Peru and murders another young girl on the 5 year anniversary of Holloway’s murder and flees like a pussy to Chile. He finally got caught in Chile today. Thank goodness!
My thoughts on this:
1. Joran should have never been allowed to see daylight after Holloway’s disappearance.
2. Aruba’s government is also responsible for the death of the Peruvian girl. Had they caught “sweet lil Joran” and kept him before he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to murder again.
3. I hear they have no Miranda rights or Interrogation rights in Peru, so I hope they beat the hell out of him while he is there and also get him to confess to Holloway’s disappearance and murder so at least her family can get some closure.
4. The Kalpoe brothers should turn on Joran and testify against him.
5. Paul Van der Sloot is dead – so oopsie – cant getcha out of this one.
6. Fire all of the court officials in Aruba and start over. Send them down to face prison time in Peru.
7. Send Joran’s mommy there too.
8. Investigate every single place Joran has travelled and lived because I bet more bodies will turn up – or at least in the ocean – they may be in the BP oil spill though.
Thoughts?
UPDATE: June 4, 2010
A FEW NEW UPDATES I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH MY FELLOW BLOGGERS:
1. Joran apparently killed Ms. Flores with a baseball bat. At first, it was mentioned in the media she was bludgeoned with a knife. He allegedly hit her so hard, he damaged her face, broke her neck, torso and back. She was found in Hotel Room 309, which was registered to Van der Sloot. Hotel video captured the two of them walking into the hotel together.
2. Peruvian officials can give him up to 85 years in prison. They may use details or “evidence” from the Holloway case to make a decision. They also reportedly do not have Miranda rights or Interrogation rights.
3. Three weeks prior to Joran’s trip to Peru for a poker tournament he attempted to contact Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway (formerly Beth Holloway Twitty) and informed her that he would tell someone in Mobile, Alabama where the location of Natalee’s body was if she gave him $250,000.00. Apparently, Joran was strapped for cash. This, in case some of you didn’t know, is what we American’s call EXTORTION. There is a warrant out for his arrest in Alabama now.
Two raids in two homes are going on now, as we speak, in the Netherlands, on computer equiptment used to contact Beth Holloway regarding the extortion case in Alabama.
4. When Joran met the victim, Flores, at the “night spot” or casino, she had already won approximately $5,000.00. He asked her to come up and celebrate her winnings. She did and he ended up with the money and she ended up dead!
5. He took Flores’ car and pills consistent with a type of “date rape” drug were found. At least 50 were reportedly found.
6. According to Peruvian officials and Flores’ family there is a mountain of forensic evience agains the idiot, most of which has yet to be revealed.
7. Joran apparently took a lesson from Scott Peterson and his book of “Fleeing the Area because I’m Gonna get Popped”, because he was found sporting a buzz cut and RED hair!!!
More Updates will be added as they become available.
Yesterday, Gregory Collins (19), a white male, of Newberry, South Carolina did the unimaginable to another human being and citizen of South Carolina and this country. Anthony Hill (30), a black male, was shot at his residence, then tied up with a rope behind his own pick up truck and drug 10 miles. Luckily, Hill was already dead before the word “gruesome” took a terribly bizzare twist south. After 10 miles, the rope broke and Hill’s body was left on Highway 34, for a person to find in the roadway at 4:30 a.m. Collins then drove Hill’s pick up truck to his residence and parked it in the front yard.
When I was on my way to work in the morning I saw dozens of police officers racing towards Newberry County from both directions of the highway. I, of course, wondered what was going on. When I looked on the internet to see, I was shocked to see that a body was found and the suspect had locked himself inside his trailer and refused to come out.
After a couple hours and teargas later, the suspect came out of the house and was arrested. There were several automatic weapons found inside his residence and he had an empty gunclip on himself.
There are so many things that bother me about this case.
1. Where do people get the idea that they can play God and determine someone’s fate?
2. Why wasn’t killing him enough? Why did he have to drag him for 10 miles (and by the way, his body was found near an elementary school – which is sick in of itself)?
3. The fact this 19 year old kid is a self proclaimed “redneck”.
-and-
4. Hasn’t this guy ever seen “Forensic Files” or “CSI” or something? He obviously wanted to get caught. Its not like he didn’t try to cover it up because he left a trail of evidence all the way to his house.
I really wish people would respect each other and if they do not respect them/like them or whatever for some reason, just leave them the hell alone. Don’t kill them. In this same breath, I will also do what some may say is not being respectful of human life and DEMAND the DEATH PENALTY for this IDIOT. We seriously need to take him out of the gene pool!!!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family and friends during this very difficult time. I hope and pray that God gives them the strength and courage to move forward and know that not everyone is unkind.
Well, hopefully it comes to no shock to the people of South Carolina, but Jenny Sanford has filed for divorce as of December 11, 2009 from her husband, Governor Mark Sanford.
In Mark Sanford’s press release regarding his wife’s filing for divorce, he stated that “….I never berated her as she did me on National Primetime News…” (the quote is not exact, but pretty close. See www.thestate.com) in which he was referring to her interview with Barbara Walters which aired the other night. Jenny Sanford was one of 2009′s Most Facinating People according to Walters.
My response to Governor Sanford’s quote about Jenny berating him in the media is this:
1. Jenny was interviewed by Barbara Walters and she told the truth about what happened. She did not try to cover anything up, she told the straightforth truth, and I am highly impressed by that. It is not only difficult to be cheated on, but worse to be cheated on when your husband is the Governor and went “hiking on the Appalachian Trail” which apparently goes all the way down to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2. Barating Jenny would probably constitute examples such as:
(These are not exact quotes)
a. “She is my soul mate…..it is an unforbidden love…..a love story”, which the “Love – Gov” stated in different conferences with AP and The State Newspaper.
b. “I am currently trying to fall back in love with my wife”, when asked if reconciliation with Jenny was possible.
c. “I have crossed the line with other women during my marriage”, when asked if he had ever committed adultery before by the AP.
Know with just these 3 examples of the “foot in mouth” speaking Governor of South Carolina, I think Jenny had every right to do and say whatever she wanted about Mark Sanford. She didn’t though, she is a woman of class. I admire her for that.
When someone gets on the news and states that someone other than his wife is his soul mate, don’t you think that if you were his wife, that would pretty much trash every hope of reconciliation out of the window?
When someone says to the press that they are trying to fall back in love with their wife, don’t you think that may not be a good sign? Seriously, do you think that Jenny ever thought in her marriage before she found out about Maria from Argentina, that her husband was not still in love with her? That had to be a shock.
The comment made about “crossing the line with other women” during his marriage was going way overboard. He seriously hung himself on that one. Who in the world would take someone back who cannot be faithful?
I give major props to Jenny. Not only is she a sound, decent, respectable human being, she is the one who got Governor Sanford where he is today and he should be eternally grateful to his wife and kissing her ass! Her money was used to fuel his shotty campaigns. Her brain was used to fuel these campaigns. Jenny is a smart business woman. If anyone could do anything she can do it.
Now, unfortunately, Jenny has the tasks of raising 4 school aged boys mostly on her own. I would expect that would be a very difficult job in itself. Hopefully, Sanford will step up to the plate and actually pay child support, and be a father to those kids.
What about the four children by the way? Did he think about them while he was whoring around Argentina? No, I think not. School aged boys are going to take this particularly hard because not only was their dirty laundry aired for everyone, their father is an idiot and doesn’t know how to shut his mouth, and is the Governor of South Carolina. I am glad Jenny took the boys out of the spotlight of shame the Governor put his family in and took them to Sullivan’s Island to attend private school. That was the best thing she could have done for them.
Like I said in other posts….I really do feel for Jenny. I hate that this happened to someone who seems like such an upstanding person and role model for other women in this world. If you or anyone you are close to have been cheated on, it is not fun. It makes you question your worth, if you’re good enough and other random negative thoughts when really the brain should kick in and say that something is definetly wrong with the man she was involved with. He is the miserable, worthless, shameful person who is not good enough for her or his family.
So, I give major props to Jenny Sanford for sticking up for herself and her family and filing for divorce, because once a cheater, always a cheater! Jenny never betrayed Mark the way he did her. To go on national television because you (the Governor) had to explain why you went missing and wouldn’t answer your cell phone because you were screwing someone in Argentina who was your soulmate in a beautiful forbidden lovestory is more than enough betrayal. That is like slapping her in the face over and over.
The one in the end who will be alone is and will be Mark Sanford. His children have probably lost all respect for him because of the embarassment he has caused (which could be termed as child abuse because of the taxing toll it is going to take on these kids) and hurt their mother as well.
So what will Marky Mark the Love Gov do without South Carolina, Jenny and his boys? Hopefully go to Argentina to get dumped.
In South Carolina it’s approximately 4:29AM (EST). I am awake because….guess what…I am having that bout of insomnia. My issue today is with North Korea. I really have two issues and they can be solved using a very logical view point which I think I share with most Americans.
1. The two reporters that have been “convicted” of crossing the border and “spying”. Give me a break. If Kim Jong III wasn’t a paranoid schizophrenic they wouldn’t have been sent to a prison camp for hard labor for 12 years. Damn, what do you get if you steal a car? Probably a front seat in North Korea’s holocaust like cell where they poison people with plutonium for fun.
Basically, these girls need to be released into American custody. I am sure they didn’t mean to cross the border into North Korea – because you know it is such a desireable place to go visit. Seriously, no one wants to go there, not even the North Korean’s want to be there. Grow the fuck up Kim Jong III.
2. WTF? Firing missles and nuclear weapons??? I thought the UN outlawed this kind of shit. We don’t need to have another Hiroshima or Nagasaki (or how ever you spell those words).
Personally, to solve this problem, I think it would be beneficial to Chernobyl his highness’ ass personally. I say we take him and Bin Ladin (if he’s dead his corpse will do) strap them to a nuclear weapon, get the UN to sign off on a one time fireworks show and celebrate the 4th of July with a bang! People in Iraq would even enjoy the show. I think it would be perfect for Kim Jong III because he probably gets a hard on because of the missles. He would have a banging good time. We can even give him a helmet to make him feel “safe”.
Seriously, North Korea has lost their freaking mind. Now, thankfully all Korean’s (North) aren’t as delusional and paranoid as its leader. I mean where the hell is the CIA when we need them? They are probably doing paperwork. We got rid of Saddam Hussien (although I think baby Bush did it on false pretenses, beause if you remember there were no weapons of mass destruction there, just Saddam hiding in his foxhole).
I do not condone any type of violence being brought to North Korea, because lets face facts, America has to finish the two wars the good ole boy, Bush got us into. So Obama says it’s time for change. CHANGE?? I say doing a fireworks show would be a great CHANGE. Hell, I dont think the US has ever had one….wait maybe the Iraqi’s, the good ones, would have a good time with this show too…but lets not start a 3rd World War, which I am sorry to say but it looks like its coming down to it.
So, to Kim Jong, III: Embrace your mental status as paranoid schizophrenia – they have drugs to keep the delusions and hallucinations at bay. You running around psychotic with plutonium up your ass is not a good thing for you or anyone else in the world. Oh yeah, wait we are only concerned with you….strap yourself to a missle next time you want to test fire it and see what happens. It will be a fun ride for you. The missle wants you to be strapped to it. Trust me, the schizophrenia you suffer from needs to tell you that. Seriously though, just shoot yourself in the head and let it be over with. Shoot your kids too, because they apparently have radical view points and the same schizophrenia you have. Do it soon. You are giving me a headache.
So, anyone want to guess what kind of sentence I should have in a North Korean hell hole, just for writing that? Who knows. Hell, I wouldn’t want to smoke a cigarette there. Thats probably 6 years at least.
I just wanted to ask for everyone who reads this blog to keep the Wendt’s in your prayers. The Wendt’s lost a baby, “Baby Maggie” to a rare chromosome disorder. Lindy was induced yesterday and “Baby Maggie” was born and due to this disorder she is dying very slowly. She was approximately 22 weeks along. Please pray for Lindy and David to have the strength to let “Baby Maggie” go and for “Baby Maggie” to go peacefully with ease. “Baby Maggie” will forever be in their and our hearts and will be one of God’s angels watching over all of us, especially the Wendt family.
I cannot comprehend the pain and stress they are going through at this time. I hope the Wendt’s find the courage and strength to go through this and know their daughter, Margaret Kathryn Wendt will be in a a better place.
Yesterday, while driving down I-26, I have to confess I had a tiny bit of road rage towards a driver of a 06-09 Honda Civic Coupe in blue. This moron was riding my ass like Zorro and apparently magnetically attracted to my damn bumper that I got pissed off! It was a lady and her dog in the front seat.
I got pissed because it wasnt only me in the car. I had my cute little cousin who is 2 years old in the back in her car seat and my grandmother in the front passenger seat. Now if I was alone it would be different because this person is only threatening my well-being, NOT an innocent 2 year old and my grandmother.
Yes, as we got on Piney Grove Road, I changed lanes, she made a gesture and I rolled down the window and flicked her off. While she was at a stop light she rolled down the window, so I rolled down mine and she told me “God Bless You” over and over as if she had some freakish OCD complex. I explained to her that she was going to need God to bless her if she hit my car because I was going to beat her ass.
Maybe this was wrong, but when drivers put people at risk especially the innocent others in your car, it pisses me off. I have already been rear ended by a jack ass who has caused me to have the 2nd surgery on my spine and a future on my neck.
“The Doctors” is a television show which comes on ABC in the afternoon. It is kind of like “The View”, but with M.D.’s. Travis Stork, from “The Bachelor” is the lead commentator on this show. Well, today’s show was about the drugs the youth of America are getting into these days.
Apparently, kids have nothing better to do with their time than to drink hand sanitizer and soak tampons in vodka and them insert them. This, in my mind, begs the question: Who ever thought of doing this first and how the fuck did they tell their friends to do it, and it catch on??? Now I cant get this out of my mind. Back when I was in high school, it was cool to crush Ritalin and snort it, but Vodka Tampons? Who in the hell was the first idiot to think of this?
So the youth of America apparently have nothing better to do than drink hand sanitizer and soak their tampons while cops are pulling them over and wondering why the hell they are swerving. Next time I am out late at night, and I see a car swerving, it could be a kid who has not been drinking but has had one or two vodka tampons.
I know that this may sound strange, but when I was 20 years old (9 years ago), I fell in love with my best friend’s brother-in-law. We saw each other for about 6 months and then he died. He was 25 years old.
Jamie was a kind, caring, sweet and handsome individual. He had a son, Payton Hunter, with a former girlfriend. His son looked up to him in so many ways. Payton was only 4 years old when his father passed on.
Jamie was in the United States Marine Corp. and was a very active person. He loved being a marine. He enjoyed playing sports and working out.
Jamie had a tattoo of a shark on the back of his neck; a skull on his arm; and a tiger with blue eyes on his other arm.
There are not enough wonderful things I can say about him. I loved him and honestly believe if he had lived we would be married today.
So, Jamie (where ever you are), Happy 34th birthday. I loved you then, and always will!
