I'll email you with my results. If we find that none of the stations aired the story that early we will need to come up with a way to get it out to the mainstream media. That would be fun. Also, I agree with you about the Ricci's. I heard Mrs. R. interviewed on KSL radio on Wednesday. Sounded like she was fabricating things based on how she overstated her case for Mr. R.

Police were called about 4 a.m. A statewide alert was issued for the girl at 7:21 a.m.

I must be missing something. If a statewide (Utah) alert didn't go out until 7:00 a.m., would it have been on the morning TV news?

[Utah Girl]

Yes, it would have been on the morning news. I don't think the national morning shows start here until 8 am or so...I don't know because I don't care to watch Katie Colic, et al.

[IamHD]

Time to go to bed!

7:00 a.m.=7:21 a.m.

[Utah Girl]

I pulled some muscles several years ago while lifting a heavy box. The dr prescribed Soma and some pain pills. Oh my, I was in nooo pain at all. My mom was taking care of me and said I was really goofy for about 3 days.

I have heard that Angela has about 10 forgery charges against her. Have any of you heard anything about that?

Ricci's=Riccis

[IamHD]

No, we don't. And Greta should have asked that question. I remember her starting to, then she switched gears. I think her new eyes are too tight. :)

[homeschool mama]

Soma *is* heavy stuff. I was given some after my auto accident in April...took one and never again will I take another.

[Utah Girl]

Personally, Greta's new eyes creep me out. And she is not a very good interviewer either. I have been pleasantly surprised by Ashleigh Banfield, she asks some good follow-up questions. Connie Chung is pathetic.

abusers get really creative
then they started using their kids' cough syrup

You have just proven that you worked in a pharmacy!!! lol! They think you're stupid! How about stealing the trash to get the LAST drop of cough syrup? Try to tell that to the police!

[Utah Girl]

Yes, I avoid them also. I hate that drugged out feeling. One is so out of control when on those types of medications.

[homeschool mama]

**There is a lot of friction between the two newspapers, some of it having to do with religion, most of it business. **

Kind of like BYU and UofU, huh? :o)

[IamHD]

I agree on everything you said. I did have a problem with AB when she was interviewing the auto-shop guy, though. The additional mileage on that Jeep started out at 300, 500 or so miles, but she kept saying 1,000 and it seemed that the mechanic just agreed with her.

[Utah Girl]

There was one psychiatrist who abused Ambenyl cough syrup. He was prescribing it in gallon jugs. He lost his license over that one. Personally, I learned a good lesson working in the pharmacy. And then there were the people who hesitated to take anything for fear they would become addicted. Usually, there have to be several factors in play to become addicted. I'd reassure the worriers that no, they couldn't become addicted to Tylenol #3 in three days. Medication is a good thing, but moderation is important too.

[Utah Girl]

Oh yes. I'm a BYU alumni, and have dated U of U graduates. Just a little friction there. I'll never forget going to a BYU-Utah football game several years ago and being conked on the shoulder by a thrown beer bottle.

dr prescribed Soma and some pain pills

I bet you were in NO pain! lol! I hate taking the stuff. It makes me crazier than I already am. I took HALF of a Flexeril and could have rolled off the drs. examining table I was so goofy. He will never give it to me again.

[homeschool mama]

Funny though how Soma put me in a state of no control...but I take a vicodin and I'm just fine...takes the pain away but I'm able to function normally...or maybe I just *think* I am. lol

Oh. No need to worry. Vicodin moments happen rarely.
