SIDEBAR #59 - Travis Alexander forum

[neesaki]

I'm just depressed right now and spending what time I have with Ryan. Yes, he was taking a few breaths on his own, but they put him in an induced coma. Yesterday they did a surgical stress test on his heart and said it wasn't as bad as they first feared...and that is good! Another day, I am so tried and weary....Hopefully, start weaning him off respirator today.
love you all!!

Bless you, we're just glad to hear from you during this difficult and trying time. And I can only imagine just how down and tired and weary you must be feeling, so please take care and get as much rest as you can. It's good to hear that Ryan's heart stress test was better than they thought it would be, so some good news, therefore Hope.

You hang in there dear CoffeeJ,

Prayers for Ryan, and (((Hugs))) .

Hi, I am a Monkey too...figures, bad luck. Right now I have a freaking cold to end all colds. Tissues up my nose to prevent water dripping on board. Anyone have a solution for rotten drippy nose? Plase I am in agony. went to bed with a bottle last couple nights ~that would be Honey for ravaged throat. I called my Dr., sent an antibiotic azathromax (?). back to bed..

Sorry you're under the weather Nore, take care and get plenty of rest. Have you tried Sambucol (Black Elderberry). It's supposed to shorten cold and/or flu symptoms. I've taken it before and know it helped me. I buy it at WalMart. I like the Sambucol brand because it's just little tablets that melt in your mouth, no huge capsules or pills to swallow.. Ugg!

Oh, I'm a Monkey too, LOL. How funny, I'm always calling my Furbaby "little monkey", LOL.

Sending you jingles and ((hugs))

Morning all! :wave:

Today in February:
11 - Don't Cry over Spilled Milk Day (The phrase ‘Don’t Cry over Spilt Milk’ means there’s no use in worrying over past events which cannot be changed. Example of Use: “I know you didn’t mean to break my phone, so there’s no use in crying over spilt milk now.”)



11 - Make a Friend Day
11 - National Inventors Day
11 - White T-Shirt Day

okay...

Test Your Common Sense! :thinking:

Do you think you’ve got plenty of common sense? Well, a top quiz master has just devised a test that might prove you wrong!
Expert Tom Dunbar, known for his intriguing and challenging Internet puzzles, came up with seven seemingly simple questions to examine your logic skills and determine if you’re easily persuaded – or apply common sense to problems.
“To pass the test, you must answer with simplicity and prevent yourself from overthinking the questions,” he says.

Questions:
1. A man went outside in the pouring rain with no protection, but not a hair on his head got wet. How come?
2. John’s father has five sons named Alan, Blan, Clan, and Dlan. What did he call his fifth son?
3. A taxi driver is going down a one-way street the wrong way; he passes 12 cops. Why does he not get arrested?
4. What is directly in the middle of Australia?
5. A soccer player kicks a ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to him. How is this possible?
6. On average, how many books can you put in an empty backpack?
7. A cowboy rode to an inn on Friday. He stayed two nights and left on Friday. How can this be?




NO Peeking at the answers!!

NO NO NO! :notgood: :hand:





Answers:
1. The man is bald.
2. John
3. He was walking on foot.
4. The letter R.
5. He kicked the ball upwards.
6. One. After that, it isn’t empty.
7. His horse was called Friday.
********
What your score means:
0 – 2 correct: Don’t take any wooden nickels
3 – 4 correct: Check twice before crossing the road.
5 – 6 correct: You’re pretty foolproof
7 correct: WOW! You’re a total genius!

Trying the test without looking at answers. Saw the 1st answer by mistake so I am not answering that one.

Questions:
1. A man went outside in the pouring rain with no protection, but not a hair on his head got wet. How come?

A: I saw this answer before I could start. LOL

2. John’s father has five sons named Alan, Blan, Clan, and Dlan. What did he call his fifth son?


A: Elan Has to be ELAN based on the first 4 names. A,B,C,D.....so E and the LAN part is same for all. I think I may have this one right. Will see when done.

3. A taxi driver is going down a one-way street the wrong way; he passes 12 cops. Why does he not get arrested?

A: There is a parade going on and the cops are directing traffic telling people they can go that way? LOL
I think I may be thinking too hard on this one. LOL


4. What is directly in the middle of Australia?

A: "ustrali" LOL Between the A's LOL


5. A soccer player kicks a ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to him. How is this possible?

A: He kicked the ball up a hill and it rolled back? LOL
Either that or he hit the goal post and it bounced straight back at him. LOL

6. On average, how many books can you put in an empty backpack?

A: Zero. It would not be empty if you put even 1 book in there. LOL

7. A cowboy rode to an inn on Friday. He stayed two nights and left on Friday. How can this be?

A: "Friday" is the name of the street the inn was on?


Now to check to see if I got any right. This was fun. Thanks for posting this quiz. LOL

Just went to look and "see" if I wanted to order Juan's book - after reading this and the bold below! I did!!! :happydance:

Now, speaking openly for the first time, Martinez shares the inside story of his tireless work to put Jodi Ann Arias behind bars. Beginning in the hours immediately following the discovery of Travis’ body, Conviction examines every aspect of Martinez’ case, showing how over the course of five years his prosecution came together one piece at a time, and revealing how, almost from the very start, it seemed Arias believed she could get away with murder.

Going inside the case files, Martinez chronicles the truth behind the multiple facades of Jodi Arias—a killer who played the victim with incredible skill, but was capable of unspeakable violence. Shedding light on the never-before-told story behind the most damning piece of evidence against Arias—the gas cans—Martinez recounts how he learned of their existence as well as the lengths he went to in order to ensure that they remained a secret from the public until precisely the right time.

Addressing his critics and supporters alike, Martinez also details his approach during the trial, describing how his much-criticized cross-examination of Arias was actually a highly deliberate and carefully crafted strategy designed to keep a deceitful woman from becoming too comfortable on the witness stand.

Complete with never-before-publicized evidence from the case and sixteen pages of photos, Conviction is the definitive account of the case that shocked America.

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called ...his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.



He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?'



She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realise you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher.

Yes, I know you.



'The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defence attorney?'



She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'



The defence attorney nearly died.



The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.

Glad you are starting to feel better, Nore. You are missed when you can't be here.
