You know- I felt sorry for Aileen Wornos.
I think she really was mentally ill.
I watched a show about her today and I always cry for her.
Just call me crazy for feeling sorry for a killer. Go figure.
 
I'm going to go hunt up some goodies to eat, so I'll see you all later on.

I'm kind of with you on that. I see her as a terribly abused person who therefore lashed back. Please don't get me wrong: what she did was truly horrible. But I think she should have been institutionalized for the rest of her life.
 
Oookaaay . . .

Well, once again everyone has vanished. I guess I do have bad breath! See ya.
 
:tantrum: :tantrum:

Grrr... this will be my last attempt (my 10th!) to post. I keep getting kicked out halfway through.

Hi Becky! Nice to meet you. I always had a chuckle at your v's. :-)

Congrats to son (and you!), YESorNO. Our kids never show the enthusiasm as we who are older and appreciate the accomplishments. I bet he is nervous about this next step. He will do fine, I suspect.

No Steely? I sure hope he isn't feeling worse today. Be well, Mr S.

I have poked my nose in several times, but not too chatty, sorry. Vision blurring is making life a bit difficult. :-) And I never watch the Oscars or those other award shows. We did watch a new show about Wournos last night--it had a lot that we have never seen before.

Have a warm and pleasant night, all.
 
ooops ---- wrong thread for Mr. Steely. Told ya my eyes aren't working right. :truce:

Hi Kensie and Spellbound. It is cold here. 12 above. 5 tonight, I quit watching after that. I cant see summer ever coming:tantrum: I hope it is decent if it does come. After all this we deserve a nice summer. Our Spring is to be way below normal. I'm going to lose it unless a trial comes along to occupy me!:floorlaugh:
I peeked in on JM's page last night. Interesting. He's been writing. I'd like to write but dont have anything to write about. Sad, boring! I peeked at ws. page for Jahi. things sound a bit fishy to me. omebodys off their rocker. I dont watch the Oscars anymore. I watched foor years when I went to movies but now I only know a few of them. I like Sandra Bullock. She was on "George Lopez" a few tiimes and was so funny. Honestly funny. Well see you soon, going to get ice cream.:loveyou:
I forgot!! If I read right it sounds like Ms.Priss is bent out of shape because the trial will be "in secret" well bully for her. She asked for it, she got it. I'd like to see it but I bet the Judge refuses to lift the gag. Serves her right..IMO.
 
NORE, I suspect we are "almost neighbors" (I am not far from Toledo). Our weather is very much like yours. We had about 4 more inches of snow this morning. I am craving a sign of Spring.

Haha... I hope you are right. Ms Priss craves the publicity and won't get air time if the next phase isn't telecast. (But I still want to SEE her when the finalword comes down!)

Stay warm. :seeya:
 
Hi everybody
I have been really ill. I thought I turned the corner, but no. Started out as a viral asthmatic bronchitis and is now bilateral lobar pneumonia. I can't breathe. So just reading here and staying quiet.

Thanks for keeping me company.

Very sorry that you are ill, Zuri. Good idea to take it very easy for a while. I have to head to bed and pamper my weary eyes now. I hope someone comes along to keep you company. Get better soon. Good night for now.

I don't view it that way, ElleElle.

CMJA's court dates were vacated in 'joint' proceedings presided over by Judge Welty.

I believe jury selection and pre-trial hearing for AZ vs. Bryan Hulsey will proceed toward the May 12 date.

I'd like to be wrong, but I view CMJA's case as effectively on hold at this point. I do not expect the wheels of justice to begin grinding on her case until after AZ vs. Hulsey trial concludes.

Sorry for being blunt. I meant Juan's BH's case supersedes Jodi's re-trial and the BH case is supposed to be in May. Which is fine by me.

Jodi's retrial ay be indefinitely on hold and that's what :scared: me. What if JSS rules without a retrial.

Yoo-hoo [to empty space]! Again no one's here! Darn! Guess everyone is at the Oscars tonight.

Okay, fine! I'll just talk to myself . . .

I was just reading the CA thread: what an ever-growing she is. What intrigues me about such "people" as CA and JA is their so very obvious (and creepy) narcissism. For example, if I were on trial or being forced to make a deposition, I would be shaking in my boots. But not those two, however. Both murderesses seem to think they're the smartest people in the room and act accordingly, even often "correcting" the attorneys also in the room.

I guess I'm raising the issue of narcissism because I was once married to one. And, even though I divorced him years ago, I'm still often dismayed by a narcissist's breezy attitude about what we (mere humans that we are) regard as the truth. For a narcissist, such notions as "truth" or "honesty" are simply piffle and can therefore be disregarded. They don't respect the truth the way we do. In fact, they don't respect much or anything. For example, I had to take my ex to court for non-payment of child support; when the judge asked him why he hadn't paid child support for over five years, he simply answered: "I forgot." (And the judge didn't say anything to that response; instead, she simply slightly lowered her glasses and stared at him for a long ten seconds or so and then raised her eyebrows--and then ordered him to pay the full amount--in full and immediately! Hah!)

Anyway, the narcissist ex--who remains the most fundamentally dishonest person I've ever encountered--never looked at his lies as lies. Instead, they were simply "reality corrections."

I'm somewhat haunted by such people, which is one reason why I'm here on WS. I just can't get my head around them.

Call me naive, I guess.

BBM ~ :seeya: Hey Becky! I have an OCD about trying to figure people out. I have a passive-agressive BF and that is hard enough to deal with.

The problem with narcissist people, is most people who know them well or not, are naive, as you stated because they don't put true fear in the person they are morphing into. :moo:

Did anyone (Becky - since there's only we two and 2 guests tonight :facepalm:) watch the Red Carpet for the Academy Awards?

I wasn't impressed as everyone dressed quite demurely and it seemed that everyone was in beige/tan (my favorite colors).

This is my favorite gown. Charlize Theron is a natural beauty.

When I checked my email this AM, there was something about Kim Novak. I clicked on it because I thought that maybe she had died- she's 81 after all.
Well, I was so furious when I read that when Ms. Novak presented the movie "Frozen", Twitter went crazy about her appearance.

I'm really disgusted with how these people reacted to how she looked.

She IS 81 years old, people (and I say that with much sarcasm), has battled mental illness, cancer and suffered a terrible horse riding accident!!!

What is up with the people who have disrespected her on Twitter? :banghead:

I'd like to see how they will look when they are 81- if they live that long!

I can't imagine how she is feeling this AM- poor thing, but I hope she just
thumbs her nose at all of them.

Keep your GD Tweets to yourself- you mean, small-minded, unkind people!!! You're all pitiful!!

Some Twitter tweets here:

Unbelievable!!!!

Was he happy. :sheesh: Just like your son. :aktion1:
He said he was "apathetic" about the whole thing. :banghead:

I could :princes: him.

I think he is thinking about this next phase of his life and may be frightened of all the work graduate school will entail- with the classes, teaching assistantships, and field assignments. :scared:

Too bad, as it takes the joy out of each level of success he reaches, IMO. It's only for 2 years (a drop in the bucket for one so young, IMO, but maybe he sees a hundred drops).

I am exciting for him - to actually get out there and "do" instead of just take classes.

They did offer him an assistantship or a fellowship in aging (which he is very interested in). The fellowship requires a 1000 word essay- due 3/10. Now I will have to :pullhair: and get the :thewhip: out so he meets the deadline. It's important to get either one because they offer paying him 1/2 tuition and a $5000 stipend to boot. Nothing to sneeze at, IMO, and less loans! Great opportunities.

After he graduates, I can relax. He's on his own after that because I feel I have done my job and everything after that is up to him. Thank goodness. :facepalm:

Thanks to all for your congrats: Kensie, Niner, Nymeria, Becky, Daisy, and G&AMom.

:tyou:

I think you're probably right, that there's a certain level of fear involved. My son is actually almost done with his program and is really enjoying it, so I don't know what the deal is with him. But he's never liked compliments much -- it seems to just be his personality.

I hope your son can get his essay written without driving you too nuts. Why is it again we decided to become parents?!
