JB: you husband is a bay news nine junkie and you are not?
I am not, if he has that one we are out doing other things?
JB: how has it been that he does not know but he knows.
We went to dinner and the radio came on and I turned it off and this morning he could not watch tv.
JB: did you share with your experience?
I didn't think I was allowed to, but I didn't talk about it.
(oh what does this have to do with...) ?
I can be firm and tell him I can not talk about it.
JB: we have little doubt in that. you have read articles maybe in st pete times?
nothing comes to my mind only the search was on and the amber alert and things, back then did I look for an amber alert. not something that stayed in my mind.
JB: you said the media has not affected your opinion?
I don't always believe the media, as a personal experience...(IMHO: Jose got her to talk....
ullhair:
She is talking about the media and the ratings. What you get is not always what has happened.
JB: I have no more questions but more later on.
What? Why more from Jose? When, Why? AGGGGG.
