Lol, don't feel bad Ricki. I never know how old I am. Every time someone asks I have to say, "Wait a minute, let me do the math." It just is not important to me. I'm alive, and doing okay, so I just don't think about my age.

Wonder if I have been living in the past. If that was the case then I want to go back to about 34yrs old. Thirties were the best years.

The same thing happened to me a few years ago, but I got lucky and realized I was a year younger.

What a great attitude! Love it....

Does anyone else find the whine about bankruptcy annoying? Even more obnoxious is that so many media outlets reported that attention - grabbing whine as news.

Oh nooo, Molly, I'm so sorry! Hugs to you. I'm just glad you are ok. Does the doctor know why it happened?

thank you for your kind words. he has no clue, best guess is prob just a chromosome problem and Mother Nature taking its course. i have had two healthy pregnancies and this is my first miscarriage so he said there's no need to do any further testing or anything at this point

 

[Mollyandme]

Glad to hear that it was not a major physical event. BTW, your doctor sounds like a real keeper based on everything that you have told us.

Stay well. :hug:

thank you so much. yes he is the best. wins "best of philly" every year. i'm lucky i was able to even get an appointment to see him when i was first pregnant with my daughter almost 3 years ago. best thing about him is he's very kind, non judgmental and has a wonderful sense of humor. he was telling me jokes about bodily functions the whole time i was pushing with my 2 year old (you ladies who have children know what im talking about lol i'll leave it at that).

in general, for everyone on here who is having medical issues, i cannot stress how important i think it is to have a good doctor you are comfortable with. i think it really makes a difference in your experience as a patient which i believe helps healing to occur faster in some situations. I had a doctor once that i was afraid to go to because she would just rush me in and out and i felt like i was bothering her...so i would just not make appointments.

i also love my old school dentist bc he gives laughing gas for a simple teeth cleaning Lol

Last year at my Birthday I was lamenting to my Husband I cant believe I am 57. He replied neither can I considering you just turned 56 :floorlaugh: Lordy. I'm happy to claim a number.

Well, DT filed a request for extension on 10/4 and we have not seen any new motions filed since then.

Judge Stevens has not responded to the request and the next court date is just days away, Friday, October 18.

I said this earlier and I'll say it again...I'll be none too pleased if the judge grants the extension. They've had plenty of time and without new motions, they should be able to present their arguments by now.

Age, what is that? How old am I??? How old you do think I am??????

Ricki, that is how I feel about age !!!!

Hi Hope, I do. They must realize no one really cares. A lot of decent people have had to declare BK..recently. They are not whining. She doesnt need money anyway. shes not going anywhere. What they give her is sufficient to keep it alive. Her creditors will all live. I guess the media is grasping at straws for news. :seeya:

The Killer is a drama queen. Does she really think that anyone cares if she files bankruptcy? Is she afraid of having to turn in her funds received from others to pay for her debts and not allow her to have snacks??? Is she afraid that her prison wages (yes they do get paid for their prison jobs - not much but they do get paid), will be garnished.

Let her rot. I guess I am on a soapbox - sorry.

Every time she opens her mouth or others speak for her, we see her in all of her abject glory. We realize how truly pathetic and appalling she is, yet she does not and continues on as if she were the center of the universe.

She truly is one for the case books.

I'm sure that there are many in the field of psychology who would like to study her in-depth.

I can't imagine what Travis Alexander went through in dealing with her. The mind games and manipulation that she plays just do not stop. She's been exposed, so that it we have that foreknowledge, but what about people who dealt with her before she got sent to prison? She sucked many people in with that sweet sounding voice and passive aggressive behavior. It obviously was not quite good enough to hide everything or else the DT would be able to line up at least one mitigation witness.

It can't come soon enough for her to get tucked away at Perryville and just disappear. Mind you, if Perryville lets it happen, there will be another interview down the road. Let's just hope that it is a long, long, long time from now.

Molly, hope you are feeling okay.

 

[Mollyandme]

Molly, hope you are feeling okay.

thank you kensie, I feel fine right now but dr said once the hormones really start dropping the emotions might start. he also said the feelings of loss can hit at anytime so although im not consumed with the emotional aspect of a miscarriage right now I know the other shoe could drop at any second. I'm lucky to have all you supportive ladies in here!

I hate it when parents are judged, presume guilty, and sentenced before a body was found, or trial has begun. Especially when the parents have been cleared. I need to take a break. Love you guys.

i just saw this post so sorry im quoting it so late but I think i know exactly what you are talking about. i feel the same way and finally after lurking for two weeks, put on my big girl pants and made a post with my opinion. i didn't provide any links to support my opinion though so i'm sure my opinion wont matter lol

I can't believe it, I thought I was the only one who did that, at the same age too. I feared I could be having signs of early Alzheimers... :floorlaugh:

I don't know the specific case, but it all ties into the whole process we have in the US and how important juries are. It really is fascinating and impressive when you stop and think about it. By and large, juries do take that responsibility very seriously and weigh the evidence in arriving at their verdict. If there is reasonable doubt, they will return a verdict of not guilty.

I do believe that jurors can be impartial, even if they have heard news reports on the case. Just like you, they know that they have not yet heard all of the facts and so it is important to keep an open mind.

This trial is the first one that I have followed closely since the trial opened and it really has forced me to think about any biases that I might have when it comes to the presumption of innocence, sufficient evidence to bring charges and the like. It was interesting to find that there are some prosecuting attorney's offices who have the attitude "let the jury decide"...IIRC, Philadelphia has that reputation.

There are leaps to judgement in crime investigation that can cause both detectives and prosecutors to be less than objective in pulling together their case. Innocent people have been found guilty, but by and large, our jury system does work.

When it comes to the case of CMJA, I have no doubt in my mind that she is guilty. I have tried every way I know how to try and find some possible way that her self-defense claim could be true and come up empty handed every time.

Well, the accountant filed our taxes and we owe so much money it is not even funny. We do not live large as my horse habit is bad enough. I am in a state of total shock. I really hope Congress gets their act together soon so that I don't feel bad for paying the government for whatever.
