Good morning,

I don't often start my day off crying, but today I did. As I was standing in line this morning to buy my coffee, candy bar and newspaper I began reading one of the front-page stories in the L.A. Times. It is about the residents of Bangor, Maine, many of whom are ex-military themselves, who turn out to greet every single plane of returning soldiers who pass through their town. It is a genuinely touching story and I'm still in tears as I think of it now. Every one of our soldiers deserves a hero's welcome upon returning to US soil. God Bless them all.

The story is called "Welcome Stop for Warriors" by Tony Perry and is on the front page of
www.losangelestimes.com today too.

Good morning,

I just reread my post from yesterday and realized that it may have appeared that I was on the cusp of a religious conversion or something. Don't worry, I'm not. I just liked the part of yesterday's post that espouses kindness to one another.

Maybe that's just because I live in a big city and I'm tired of people leaning on their horns if I haven't shifted into gear and blasted away from a stoplight at 90 MPH one second after it turned green :)

Several weeks ago I was standing in line in Sav-on when an elderly man in a wheelchair had to ask a lady in line to step back so he could maneuver through the store. She seemed fearful that he was trying to cut into the line in front of her and she pointedly informed him that he couldn't. The poor guy indicated that he was just attempting to move to a different part of the store and the line was blocking his access. Afterwards the woman was slightly embarrassed and she turned to the couple behind her and said: "Well, I have to watch out for #1 because no one else will."

It was kind of a weird moment in a mean city.

Good afternoon,

This was sent to me by a friend the other day and I thought I'd share it:

Numbers tell only part of the story. Whatever one thinks of Christianity, the history of Jesus gave birth to a new, lasting vision of the origins and destiny of human life, a vision drawn from the religion's deep roots in Judaism. Everyone is created in God's image; there is, as Paul said, "neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus"; all are equal, special, worthy. In the Christian world view, says the Roman Catholic theologian George Weigel, "we are not congealed stardust, an accidental byproduct of cosmic chemistry. We are not just something, we are someone." The promise at the heart of the faith: that God, as the fourth-century church father Athanasius said, "was made man that we might be made gods."

As the search goes on for so many along so many different paths, Paul offers some reassuring words for the journey: "Be at peace among yourselves ... encourage the faint-hearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks ... hold fast what is good, abstain from every form of evil"—wise words for all of us, whatever our doubts, whatever our faith.

Good afternoon,

There has been lots of stuff all over the news here
about the possibility of the FDA lifting its ban on
silicone breast implants. During a hearing many women
gave what amounted to 12 hours of testimony pleading
with the FDA not to lift the ban. They spoke of
illnesses and deaths that had occurred allegedly
because of silicone breast implant ruptures and
leakages.

I have silicone breast implants and elected to get
silicone implants instead of saline even at the height
of the silicone breast implant hysteria here some
years ago. That was when Dow Corning and the other
implant makers were hit with huge class-action
lawsuits from women who claimed that the silicone
implants were unsafe.

My feeling is that the silicone implants made in the
last 20 years or longer are not unsafe. I have known
of women who blamed their leaking implants for their
own serious illnesses and in every case they had
received their implants before 1980. What I am going
to say next is entirely anecdotal, but it struck a
chord with me as soon as I heard it. It just seems to
have the ring of truth even though this is basically
just uncorroborated thirdhand information.

An acquaintance of mine knows a man who worked for a
company that manufactured some of the first silicone
breast implants. Those implants were put into womens'
bodies and the company realized after the fact that
the industrial-grade type of silicone (or whatever)
they were using would be very dangerous or fatal to
the recipients if the implant ever leaked and that the
design of them might allow a lot of leakages. They
quietly researched the issue and created a safer type
of silicone implant. Now, many decades later the
company will never, ever admit to this.

As I said, I know of women who became seriously ill
with peculiar afflictions they feel were due to their
silicone breast implants. In most cases they were
friends of friends of mine, all of them were dancers,
and all of them received their implants in the 1970s.
One obvious conclusion to that is that it just took a
while for their implants to leak and that those of us
who received implants in the 1990's will eventually
have leakages and illnesses too. I don't believe so
because a lot of these women were already having
health issues in the 1970s and 1980s. Plus, I
personally know other dancers whose post-1980 silicone
implants have leaked and they did not become ill. They
had to have surgery to replace or remove the implants,
of course, but they never had recurring or abnormal
medical afflictions afterwards.

These words almost seems like a waste of my typing because
everything I'm writing is based on hearsay. Even I
don't actually have substantive reason to believe what
I'm writing, but yet it all feels like the truth on
some intuitive level. So much for my contribution to
research science :)

Nothing I've written will ever be proven, but I just
can't shake the feeling that it is the truth.

Hi,

My friend Jay has built a new Yahoo group for me!

If someone read the whole story below to me and deleted all reference to where it happened I would still know that this incident occurred in Texas. Texas is the only state I know of in which major metropolitan newspapers have entire sections covering highschool football. By "entire sections" I'm not referring to pages within the sports section itself, I'm talking about another daily sports section that features nothing but highschool football news and is an entity unto itself.

My sister and I grew up in California, but she later went on to teach highschool in the Dallas public school system. In her words: "The way the kids look at it is that either you're a football player or you're a cheerleader or you're a loser." She said the attitude was very deeply entrenched. I hope she sends my nieces and nephew to school in California. They are nice kids and I'd hate to see them turn into complete nimrods just because they're growing up in Texas.



Texas High School Football Coach Shot


CANTON, Texas (April 7) - The father of a high school football player shot and wounded the coach with an assault rifle Thursday and fled in a pickup loaded with weapons, claiming to have a hit list, authorities said.

Jeffrey Doyle Robertson, 45, was captured a few hours later, after his truck was found abandoned near a golf course outside Canton. Robertson was carried out of the woods on a stretcher.

Police were trying to establish the motive for the shooting of Canton High coach Gary Joe Kinne.

But Police Chief Mike Echols said Robertson had been banned from campus and told not to attend school functions. Robertson had had confrontations with some of the coaches, including Kinne, who took over the football program in 2003, authorities said. Kinne's son was the team's quarterback.

According to one parent, Robertson had complained last year that his son was being picked on by his teammates.

Kinne was shot with an AK-47 rifle in the chest at the school's field house, officials said. He was airlifted to a hospital in nearby Tyler; his condition was not immediately released.

Robertson said he had a hit list, according to state Homeland Security spokeswoman Sophie Yanez.

An athlete's father, Steve Smith, said Robertson had threatened to kill Smith's son last year over an on-field teasing.

"He's a very high-strung, hot-tempered individual," said Smith, a Canton business owner.

Smith told the Tyler newspaper that Robertson's son, then a freshman football player, was walking off the field when some older students "razzed" him.

"This guy blew up," Smith said. "He thought some kids were picking on his son. My son wasn't even the one who said anything. But he threatened to kill him."

Smith said he complained to the school and police. Robertson was never charged.

A local restaurant cashier said Robertson had a reputation in Canton, about 60 miles east of Dallas.

"I wouldn't say he was respected. But he was well-known," said Sister's Cafe cashier Diane Price, who said she has known Robertson for 37 years because he attended high school with her daughter. ___

Strippers Have Their Day in Court

Holly and I had a court date on the same day. Turns out we both had some issues with reckless driving. We'd never met before, but we got to chatting in the courtroom when the judge took a brief recess. Holly's conservative apparel could not conceal her firm, full 38DDDs. I wondered aloud why she had not been able to sweet-talk her way out of the 115 MPH ticket she'd received on Interstate 10. Holly rolled her eyes and said she could not even stomach the idea of flirting with some nimrod cop. Wow! It was like we were sisters seperated at birth! I invited Holly back to my apartment after we had both paid $1000 fines and been sentenced to hundreds of hours of Caltrans highway work. Upon arrival at my place I was very much looking forward to openning up a bottle of cheap wine and kicking back. The moment was shattered when my new friend Holly started becoming rude and sarcastic. Among other things she even asked me if I always dressed like a dowdy schoolteacher! There was no way that I was going to take that kind of shit in my own home so I ripped off my suit jacket, squared my shoulders and prepared to do battle with my 36DDs. Holly and I agreed to a no-holds-barred sexual test of wills in which the first woman to make the other one cum would be the WINNER. Just check inside the Playhouse to see who emerged victorious in this contest of c*nts..

Pantyhose-clad, Brawling Strippers!

Jewell and I were wearing pantyhose because we were attending the wedding of a conservative friend of ours. We wanted to look respectable in front of her family and any eligible bachelors that might be there. Maybe they would not guess we were strippers. At least not until we were schlocked out of our minds on the free booze. In any case I was carefully styling my hair and applying my makeup when Jewell decided to "be funny" and blast me straight in the face with her hair dryer. I stared at my dishevelled appearance in the mirror for a second before I snatched the dryer from her hands and prepared to bash in her laughing face with it. Last Thursday's update in the Playhouse tells the rest of the story..

Hello,

Is it disturbing to anyone else that Scott Peterson was convicted and sentenced to death?

In all likelihood he did savagely murder his wife and unborn child, but his conviction is still unsettling because it was based entirely on circumstantial evidence. He's been given the death penalty in a case comprised solely of circumstantial evidence. I don't see how any jury and a judge can be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt when there were really no solid incriminating facts presented to them.

Ever since O.J. was acquitted I've had grave doubts about the fairness and efficacy of our court system. In that case it was UNBELIEVABLE that he was not convicted, but in many other cases it's equally incredible that the defendants were found guilty. Every year more and more death row inmates are exonerated by DNA evidence. Many of these folks have already been in prison for decades. The appeals process in capital cases is exhaustive and yet they just keep finding more innocent people on Death Row who have been languishing there for long periods of time.

My opinion is that every US citizen should be alarmed by the conviction and the death sentence handed to Scott Peterson. I suspect that he's not innocent but our court system has become a mockery if someone can be sentenced to death solely on the basis of circumstances and conjecture.

Of course no one is here to read about my views on the subject but I still feel compelled to vent my spleen ;)

Last week I went over to Summer's new house and she proudly showed me the sapling she had planted in her dining room. I was in utter disbelief but knew my shock would be nothing next to that of her landlords' when they saw the hole she'd created in their ceiling to make room for her tree. It sounded like fun to call and tell them all about it since Summer had evidently not been planning to let them in on the secret until she vacated the place at the end of her year lease. She went ballistic when I tried to make a run for the phone and she used her whole 95-pound frame to body slam me before she smashed my head into her new tree! I don't know what was more astonishing: her eco-terrorism or her dirty fighting techniques. Check out last Thursday's update and you be the judge.
