It was worth the effort.

They do our souls good to see them. Did you see the interview with the man who would have rathered his home get totally destroyed than the couple across the street who had a new baby? He was crying for them. I cried with that one also. That community is special.

I would be a little scared now to go over it. <br /><br />There is a bridge on I 40 in OK where a barge hit the pilings (I guess that is what you call them) and part of the bridge collapsed. It is one of those bridges where you cannot see all of it when approaching it. There were some cars that did not see that part of the bridge at the top was gone and they started over the bridge and went into the Ark river below. Finally a big truck realized what was happening and used his truck as a barrier so no other cars could approach the area. That happened in about 2001 or 2002, I think. janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-67836902533253313852013-05-24T14:00:41.048-05:002013-05-24T14:00:41.048-05:00Renee, I still have my stash of Easter eggs in the...Renee, I still have my stash of Easter eggs in the frig.

I was struck by her just saying "oh" "oh" and another woman behind the camera just saying "the dog" "the dog". I find that when I am in a crisis I can only get out one word. We don't speak in complete sentences when something is so very emotional. <br /><br />I think we all love seeing a happy outcome when there is such a tragedy (the woman finding her dog). The woman so reminded me of older women in OK and the accent and the way she said her words. I think everyone who saw that little video was happy for her. I wonder if she will get some invitations for any of the morning or nighttime shows? janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-62042400689894523752013-05-24T13:55:43.345-05:002013-05-24T13:55:43.345-05:00Renee, I wholeheartedly agree.

I guess not. I'm scared to go over our main I-10 bridge here, opened in 1952. You probably remember that one. No one would survive a fall from that one. I'm sure it's on some list. Just looked and Wiki lists it as functional obsolete and structurally deficient. I guess they'll fix it when it falls down.

She had no prior criminal or violent history. She met a man that she was obsessed with. There was enough evidence, IMO, to indicate that he was no saint even though he didn't deserve what happened to him. An expert with over 30 years experience in domestic violence evaluation and treatment testified that Jodi was a victim of DV from her victim. His family and friends denied it was possible but look at Ariel Castro. He held and raped those 3 young girls for 10 years and not a soul suspected it. <br /><br />Jodi lied through her teeth the entire time and that hurt her. I really don't buy that her crime was premeditated because of how it all went down. I can't see someone spending 12 hours with a person, having sex, missing many opportunities to kill the victim and then going off and stabbing him over 27 times, slashing his throat and shooting him. Something doesn't compute there. I do think she has some severe mental problems. <br /><br />That trial brought out a lot of evil in the public. That expert on DV has been terrorized and had death threats. Some witnesses for the defense have had death threats. What makes those people better than the defendant? Also, the lust for Jodi's death disturbs me. When people think there is a justification to kill another human being, I think they are no better than Jodi is, I'm sure she felt justified in her killing also. <br /><br />Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-9063018312413641612013-05-24T12:05:37.711-05:002013-05-24T12:05:37.711-05:00Sometimes, women who spend life in prison turn the...Sometimes, women who spend life in prison turn their lives around and are helping others.
