Opportunity can be fugacious
To seize it, one must be sagacious,
But to go for the ring
Some just hear the ka-ching,
Turning nasty & downright ungracious.
I was cooling off with a bottle of vitamin water after cutting grass, and heard frantic hissing and a bump-Midget girl had been sitting in the window over the sink, watching the bird feeder there-a raccoon climbed up to the outside of the window to get to the sunflower seeds in the feeder. Midget jumped, hissed, lost her footing and fell backwards into the sink.
While I was LMAO, she got back on the window sill, and when she saw the raccoon on the other side of the glass, she jumped in fright, hissed and fell into the sink again-she doesn’t seem to realize that critter can’t get to her...
LMAO A+++
You poor thang. A++
BDLR was a kook, not a prosecuting attorney during the closing. I am praying for George to be acquitted or to get a hung jury. Excellent poem A+++
I thoroughly enjoyed Virgina Beach. Went there twice for vacations. I liked it and Atlantic City. Both were fun, but I liked VB more. Guess the gambling wasn’t much of my thing. The dolphins were visible from the boardwalk at VB and from my hotel. Liked that.
A Florida jury let Casey Anthony walk to the chagrin of a nation.
A++ Sad that your last day was rain.....kind of depressing driving away in the rain I imagine.
Huh? LMAO A++
So true. A++
Yeah my daughter saw dolphins a couple times while we were swimming. Without my glasses i couldnt see anything.
Thank you-given the weird goings-on of the prosecution, the judge’s apparent bias, etc , I suspect that if Zimmerman gets convicted if just about anything, there will be an appeal-he also might sue a network or two for their edit of tapes...
Ok you smart people - what can the gov charge zimmerman with now? We all know they are going to - no way holder will let this guy live his life. I’m sure the parents will file civil charges but I doubt George Z has anything they can get so it will be like oj and they will just spend the rest of their lives attempting to get his lunch money. But the fed? What can they do and what is the burden of proof?
Well, the usual suspects are already howling to the Injustice dept to “look at it”-probably wanting them to say the attacker’s “civil rights” were violated in some magical way-but I think the mother’s motivation is to have her son make more money for her in death than he ever would have alive-after all, she has already gotten a big settlement from the HOA of the condo complex.
I heard somewhere months ago that she was selling mementos of st Travon online-I don’t know if that is true, but I’m guessing she is more interested in finding more deep pockets to raid, if she can. She supposedly didn’t really bring the kid up for years-the stepmother did. She has a hard and calculating look about her-God forgive me if I’m wrong, but I don’t buy her stoic, grieving mommy act.
Just guessing, but it sounds as though Zimmerman will spike the ball and do some suing of his own-and rightly so-his civil rights might have been violated, after all-isn’t calling someone “creepy ass cracker” profiling? And wasn’t the judge showing racial bias when she allowed his school records to be brought into evidence, but not Travon’s-like his suspensions, etc? And his social media postings about gangbanger crap like guns, fighting, racist remarks, weed and possibly stolen jewelry? All that and more will be brought out at last if civil suits get started on either side, and anyone not impressed with the dialog of an innocent, angelic “child” of 17 with skittles and tea-who happened to be stoned-will be delighted to see it..
And don’t forget the TV networks and their race-based edits, worst of all-they have probably endangered Zimmerman’s life, and they have certainly ruined it insofar as finding work. I’d file that suit right after going to the ACLU, if it were me. Hell, if I could, I’d sue Holder’s bunch for meddling in a state’s business without a shred of real evidence...
That’s my rant...
Try thinking about baseball.
In fairness, the reporting was she could no longer handle the kid, and sent him off to his father. You can see why that knowledge is...suppressed.
Amd yes, they Trademarked “Justice” .check google images.
The reason information like that was “suppressed” is because it doesn’t look good for the mother-a mother who can’t handle her kid any more probably never handled the kid well-kids do not suddenly metamorphose into Frankenstein’s monster overnight. I am a mom myself, but I have little sympathy for that one...
Pardon me for being little ms case manager, but-
When kids are unmanageable-especially as teens-it is likely because they have not been given boundaries and taught proper behaviors by one or both parents from a very early age-it is also more common in homes headed by a single parent, like it or not.
If Trayvon’s mother would have pursued professional family counseling-instead of sending her son away-as diligently as she pursued lawsuits and other income options, her son might be alive today.
But I digress...
The Fugs rule.
I need to step out, to get some Coca Cola, and Saran Wrap, before the goddess from the Lower east side gets here.
