If 3 patrol cars speed through town with lights flashing and sirens blaring anytime anyone needs a manager’s phone number, that’s even worse, sheriff.

Over a freaking whopper! This was totally an abuse of power. I’d love to see what happened to make the employees feel so unsafe that they’d lock the doors.

Stalking. It was a typo.

If someone is attempting to use her card, maybe it’s time to talk to police? That’s illegal, right?

His mom is in assisted living, not a nursing home. My mom is also in assisted living. She’s got a stove in her apartment, she can cook her own meals if she wants to! Until recently, she could drive herself to Walmart if she felt like it. She has decorated her apartment in her own style because–get this–it’s her home!!

Plus he hasn’t said one thing about pointing a camera at his mother’s bathroom!

It is her home. How disheartening to see you think it isn’t.

Do not give your senior pet to an animal rescue. I think the mental anguish they’d experience they’d suffer from feeling abandoned would hurt them so, so much.

Do your best. Talk to your vet and ask for guidance.

We all face this, eventually. It is hard to face that our cherished pet is aging, but it’s our duty to see them through.

I do not know where I got this from, but I thought all dogs were male and all cats were female. I thought this while I had a dog named Betsy and a cat named Sebastian.

If that’s not bad enough on its own, I think I was in first or second grade when I learned the surprising truth. I wasn’t a dumb kid, either. I learned to read when I was about 3.5 yrs old and started 1st grade as a 5 yr old.

I’m now in my 70s and I still can’t figure out where I got that from!

My gastro uses propofol. When they wake you up, you are wide awake. No stoned as balls over here, alas.

I love the name Otis. It’s such a classic.

Are you living life on your own and making it ok? Are the voices/conversations interfering with what you want or need to do? Are they interfering with your relationships?

That’s a lot of questions, but my nephew would have answered No to the first question and Yes to the others. He’s a diagnosed schizophrenic, and I’m telling you about him because getting on meds turned his life around. He’s working now, has an apartment and is maintaining relationships.

I know it’s frightening, but you’ve had two doctors diagnose you. It might be worth trying the meds. Ask if there are programs that can help you pay.

I hope things work out for you.

It is exactly as quacky as quacks.

That is a rough looking 31. He could easily pass for 5 to 10 years older.

I’m happy they got him and can’t wait for him to be held accountable.

When done correctly, this is always the outcome.

South Louisiana here. It can be used affectionately (seeing a sick child and saying Bless your heart) but I find it is more often used to point out someone’s lack of intelligence or bad behaviour (Karen is pitching an absolute fit in the checkout lane at Albertsons because she misread a price label…Bless her heart)

Maybe you’re from a more polite area of the south, but where I am we are heavily into calling out morons.

So, I’ve got a theory. She killed her pup not because it upset her by scattering the birds she hunted, but because it embarrassed her in front of the neighbors when it killed their chickens. Cricket wouldn’t listen to her and it made her feel publicly ineffectual and weak. Being made to feel that way absolutely enraged her.

She’s a massive POS and I really hope this ends her career.

My momma always said when you first smell yourself, other people have been smelling you for two days.

Nasty nasty man.

Anyone who fails to vote FOR Biden is going to have a very sad awakening in November, as Trump has already said Israel needs to “finish the job.”

Trump will do nothing to rein in Israel, and he would cheer to see the last Palestinian baby die.

Her lawyer, Traci Timko, said Watts sat for eight hours at Mercy Health-St. Joseph’s awaiting care on the eve of her pregnancy reaching 22 weeks, before leaving without being treated.

Timko said hospital officials were deliberating over the legalities.

I’ve got my grandbabies here so I don’t have the time to do a big search, but this article quotes her lawyer’s statement that at least one visit in which she left AMA, she waited EIGHT hours for help, which she did not receive. (See first quote) I’ve read another article which I can try to find after the holidays which explained that in her two visits prior to the miscarriage, she was never admitted. She went to the hospital, explained what was going on, received one examination but was NOT admitted. She left after failing to be admitted, which was considered AMA. I’m sure they’d have liked her to sit there another day or two while they continued to fail to admit her, while deliberating over legalities. (See second sentence in the quote)

That’s what it took to get to the fetus and remove it. And they’re blaming her for not doing it. There she was with a partially retained placenta, in danger of bleeding out, and she had the nerve to leave her toilet intact in order to obtain timely life saving health care.

And don’t forget, she’d been to the hospital multiple times and left because she wasn’t receiving care…all hospital caregivers and ‘legal teams’ were too busy trying to figure out if they could legally remove a dead fetus; they wouldn’t do what needed to be done. Just left her sitting there while they argued intent of the law versus letter of the law.

“She put the fetus into the toilet.” No, she didn’t. The fetus was expelled into the toilet, along with bodily waste. She tried to get everything out, but she couldn’t.

“She then went about her day.” No, she didn’t. She went to the hospital. She was bleeding (probably heavily) due to part of the placenta being left attached.

That’s just two of the twisted statements the prosecutor has made in order to make this woman look like a heartless SOB.

It’s gone too far, and short of removing Republicans from office and justices from the court, I don’t know what we can do. They are prosecuting this woman to punish her for miscarrying in an inconvenient place.

It’s worth mentioning that just 11 days earlier, had her miscarriage happened at the hospital, it would have been disposed of as medical waste…incinerated. 11 freaking days, and the state is criminalizing her.
