Good grief.

[BenLurkin]

Yes.

Oy...

When I read stories like this I think of that homeless girl who decided to get a high school education. I think she did 4 years in 2 and then got a scholarship to Harvard. She quit there and went to another college the last year. If anyone had it tough, this young lady did. She said at the meeting when the scholarship was announced that she was going to Harvard and the New York Times was paying for her to go. I have not heard anything about her since the movie was on tv.

Oh my that's a GREAT graphic for this list.

[BenLurkin]

What list?

[hellinahandcart]

The "Insider Fraud" ping list.

For a particular type of troll who resurrects old threads claiming relationship with the people in the news story...and spins a tale of pathos, takes other posters to task for posts they made months and even years in the past, insists that they not judge any behavior, refuses to use capital letters or punctuation, spells abominably, and uses lots and lots of feigned outrage and exclamation points.

We had so many about a year ago, all haunting tragedy or child abuse threads, that we decided to make a ping list just for them.

And sure enough, Lookin4yourHeart or whatever it was called is gone...

[BenLurkin]

Interesting. I had my doubts.

Noted he spelled so atrociously as to be unbelievable.

Also wondered how he found this old thread - but was afraid to ask!

[BenLurkin]

Wierd.

Every time she got knocked up, she would wipe herself off and get back down for the next guy.

The story indicates that there were only two fathers. They indicate that the first 3 all had the same father, and the second 3 (two of them being twins) had another father. From the story:

The father of her oldest children - ages 18, 14 and 13 - was murdered several years ago in Arizona. Her three youngest children, two 9-year-old twins and a 10-year-old, were living with their father in Riverside at the time of her death.

She also didn't have any more after the twins, 9+ years ago (of course she may have finally gotten her tubes tied).

I'm confused. I read this whole story, waiting for the reporter to get to the pain part. I was expecting the story to tell about some nerve damage, a back problem or some other physical problem that made this woman rely on pain medication or something.

Read more carefully. She was shot in the leg and tried to treat it herself. This woman was not the brightest bulb on the string, that's for sure and for certain.
