Guy eats his eyes?!?!

Texas Inmate Pulls Out Eye, Eats It

GASP!  This guy killed his wife and 2 kids, pulls their hearts out of their chests, puts them in a plastic bag and throws them away then he turns himself in.  Then while in prison he pulls out his eye and eats it!  Then he takes his other eye and eats that too!  WTF!  DUDE!

Where is Nancy Grace when we need her?

Nancy Grace / Casey Anthony

Edit: Before you read this, this post has nothing to do with Casey or Caylee Anthony or the case currently going on so if you are doing research then I feel it's best if you look at the next google result which is probably where you found this.  This was a rant because I was annoyed with seeing the same thing over and over again and I meant no disrespect to Nancy Grace, Caylee Anthony or her family.  Thank you.

God love Nancy Grace.  She is on this Casey Anthony kick where every episode of her show is all about this tragedy with Caylee Anthony.  Isn't anything else happening in the world that she can talk about?

I stopped watching her show because it's all the same stuff, showing the video of her in jail talking to her parents and her brother on the little screens and talking to people about this and that.  I think that if there is a development in the case then fine, come back to it but come on, give is something else.

Sure, she had 1 episode this week about Jett Travolta but at the very end it said "Remembering Caylee Anthony".  UGH!  Why not Remembering Jett Travolta?

I love Nancy Grace, she's brash and honest and isn't afraid to speak her mind and I love that about her.  But I mean come on, talk about something else.

I really feel sorry for this child who was brutally murdered and I'm shocked that a mother would do this, looking up neck breaking and how to make chloraform and actually kill her child like this.  Don't get me wrong.  I just don't want to hear it night after night.

Recession Weight

Will Americans put on "recession pounds"? - Link Broken

According to this article, a study has shown that because of the recession we are in people are going to start buying cheaper foods and not paying the extra amount for fruits and veggies and because cheaper foods are higher in sugar and saturated fat, they will gain weight.

It used to be that the only people who were fat were royalty because they were so rich they could eat all the food they want so being obese was a sign of wealth.  Now, being obese is a sign of poverty.

I've basically been poor for the last 21 years lol.  Since I turned 17 and was homeless until now.  When I was a smoker I was always thin but when I quit smoking I gained weight because food took the place of the cigarettes.  I gained a huge appetite since then.  When I go to the grocery store for food I buy whatever is on sale like the boxes of shells and white cheddar or Fettuccine Alfredo or I'll buy the little mini pizzas that are 10 for $10.  And the banquet TV dinners are almost always 10 for $10.

Since people are so busy working (if they didn't lose their job) they don't have time to exercise and they use that as an excuse not to exercise but there are always ways to overcome that like riding your bike to work or if you don't live that far, walk.  And taking the stairs instead of the elevator and you don't have to pig out on the vending machine food, you can bring some baby carrots with you for a snack or a banana or an apple.  Those aren't expensive to buy.  I have an orange tree so my oranges are free.

Tom Cruise On The View

This morning I wake up (late) and go into the living room and the view is on the tv set.  Now normally I'd go back in my room and get on the computer or something because I don't normally sit and watch this show.  Rosie ruined it for me frankly.  And it's a chick show.

But I sat there and they announced Tom Cruise.  Now normally I would get up and go into the other room if I heard his name but I sat there and watched.  This is the Tom Cruise that I like and have missed for such a long time.  He wasn't outrageous, he didn't jump on a couch or call Barbara Walters Glib.  He did the interview the way he should have by answering questions.

If he keeps this good behavior up he just might get back into the good graces of people and they might start paying to see his movies again.

They asked him about Jett Travolta about medication and seeing a doctor and he said that it simply isn't true, in fact it's the opposite, yes the scientologists take their kids to the doctor and get them medication for whatever illness they have.  His whole thing with Brooke Shields and Matt Lauer was that "he" doesn't believe in psychiatry or something.  But that was probably his belief and not Scientology.  He was basically speechless about Jett's death.

He finished the show and he was just perfect in this interview, just perfect.  Good for him and I hope things work out for him.

Plastic Bag Crochet

Plastic Bag Crochet - CRAFT Video Podcast

Last night I was looking around for recycling ideas and I found a way to recycle those plastic grocery bags you get from the store.  Instead of just throwing them away you can create things with them like you can make a more sturdy grocery bag by crocheting pieces that you cut.  I didn't cut mine in such big pieces but I did more thinner pieces but I was able to crochet a granny square (see below) to see how easy or hard it would be.

I think this is a neat idea if you are obsessed with recycling.  As you can see in this image I didn't finish the square but the amount you see is from exactly 1 plastic bag not including the handles.  But I did what the woman in the YouTube video (in the first paragraph) did by looping the pieces.  Since my pieces were much thinner they were also more fragile and I'm not sure how durable this square would be if I were to actually make something out of it.  I'm not sure if I turned it into a grocery bag that it wouldn't break since the pieces are thinner.  If I wanted a grocery bag out of it then I'd cut the pieces in 1 inch pieces like she did just for the durability.



Check this out.  These women in Kenya gather plastic bags that have been dumped and they clean the bags and dry them then they crochet them into different things.

Ohio Mom Killed In Home Invasion

Ohio Boy, 4, Found at Rest Stop After Mother Killed During Home Invasion

Man held on $5M bond in slaying of Ohio mom  - Link to news story is broken.

This really gets to me.  This 22 year old guy in Ohio allegedly invades a home, ties the mother up and then shoots her before kidnapping her son.

"Authorities say he shot and killed the 29-year-old mother in her home and drove her son to an Interstate 70 rest area in central Ohio, where travelers found him wandering around."

This is really disgusting.  He apologized and said "my fault".  Pahleez!  I don't want to hear it.

This is what they are saying on Jane Velez Mitchell on HLN that the child was raped while the mother who was tied up was forced to watch.  But the 2 news stories above don't mention that part.

The poor kid is scared to death.  According to ABC he has no physical scars and he jumps at every little noise.

"Nelson said that while William bears no physical scars from the incident, he's having a hard time coping with what he saw.

"He's terrified," Nelson said of his only child. "Loud noises are just really disturbing to him."

When one of William's young cousins knocked a toy truck down the stairs, he "just from the noise from that, he jumped a mile."

This poor child.  I really feel sorry for him.  This 22 year old guy who did this will probably never see the light of day and he will probably be murdered in prison because the other inmates don't like people who harm children.  And if he did indeed rape this little boy they will indeed rape him before killing him.
