Chain letters, puppy breath and a call or two

Man, I have been busy. Too busy.

Still trying to sell the house, got the puppy, as noted above, and I think I am coming down with the flu. Wonderful. Anyways, Lilo is trying to nurse on Stitch. Stitch also tolerates a crapload of abuse and puppy teeth and has little cuts all over her cheek. God bless her, she is such a good dog.

Till it comes to toys, anyways.

I want you all to look at this website. Embrace it, love it, USE it.

http://www.snopes.com/

On said page, you will see a search bar. The next time you all get a forwarded email that you have to scroll down 5 min to get to the message because it has been around the world  7 times, type in some of the topic in that little search engine and hit enter.

OOOOO!! I bet that email is on there! there will be links to the URBAN legends that are haunting the inboxes.

Then, after you read it and find out its fake, you can delete it and discontinue the chain of misery.

I have such a pet peeve about forwards like that. Lately, I have been the inbox police, sending a note back to senders that its fake and giving the snopes link. I guess I am not a fun friend.

But look, the gas out isnt gonna work, Denzel did NOT whip out his checkbook at a VA memorial site, Penny Brown has NOT been missing for 10 yrs,  Bill Gates is NOT giving money away, George Carlin did NOT write the hurricane rules, your cell phone number is NOT gonna be given to telemarketers,  Mules dont KILL mountain lions, (the hunter killed it first, kids), and robbers are not rendering women unconcious with perfume bottles laced with ether in parking lots.

Knowledge is power kids. Learn to love snopes!

Got a 911 call yesterday from a woman who said her daughter lived in Elyria. (found out later, she lived in the twp)

But, she got worried as she had not been seen since saturday (she was 37) and no one was answering her door. Mom said she had gotten in an arguement with her bf. Hmmmm.

Find out later, a coworker of mine said the had a DOA. Hanging.

It was her. (I asked cause the age and circumstances fit with the caller I had)

But, the thing that got me was.....

1. women generally dont hang themselves

2. she did it RIGHT, most suffocate to death because the drop isnt long enough and it doesnt break the neck...hers was broken.

3. chair wasnt knocked over.

4. hands were tied BEHIND her back.

Uh.....

Now my coworker had seen some who have tied their hands to prevent them from undoing the noose if they started to chicken out and if the fall didnt break their neck, but how do you tied your hands BEHIND your back!?!??!!

She did leave a note, but I am not cool with that either. She coulda been forced to write it.

Something smells fishy to me.

    I have hope that the North Coast police have learned a few things or three since the days of Sam Shepard and the one armed man.  I'm not saying they are boobs if they don't take another look or two at this one, but the sum total of the crime scene stinks like red tide from down here in the southland. Regarding your other topic, I am the family wet blanket on Internet rumors and have been for many years. If I see/get one more set of the "Katrina coming ashore" pictures, I'm gonna blow chunks, too....  =)

    Donna,

    Hate to ask, but do your local gendarme share your sense of piscatorial essence? That wasn't clear from the entry.

    Cute pup. How old? If more than eight weeks, it should be thoroughly weaned by now.
