…..will probably be coming from Velvet Cream tonight. If I have anything to say about it. I’m not in the mood for welfare burgers, and I don’t feel like actually getting off my ass to cook, so Velvet Cream is sounding VERY good!!!

If you’re not from Hernando, or you’ve never had Velvet Cream, you’re missing out!

Can you believe it? Still this congested. :(

I think it’s allergies, and it’s got to be all the cotton in the air. I can’t wait for them to finish bagging it all!

cotton

Notice the beautiful, BIG stacks of it near our house. In a week, they’ll be about 5 or 6 more rows of these.

Sorry for the quality of this, but I took it with my cell phone. Like my crutches?

DeSoto County man pleads guilty
Sep 19, 2005, 05:55 PM

A Desoto County man pleaded guilty Monday to killing a child while driving under the influence. Randall Owen was accused of killing two year old Ethan Bayless late last year.

While Owen awaits his sentence, Ethan’s parents are trying to survive the life sentence of living without their son.

“You go to work one morning and everything is normal,” said Ethan’s father, Jason. “You come home and your life is totally changed. It never will be the same.”

“It hurts every day. It’s fresh every morning,” said Ethan’s mother, Ginger. “I still feel around in the bed for my son in the morning. He used to climb in the bed with us, and I still feel around the bed for him because I still forget that he’s not here.”

For the first time Monday, the Bayless family saw the man who killed their little boy.

Randall Owen had nothing to say entering his plea in DeSoto County Court.

But his victim’s parents didn’t hold back their feelings towards the three-time DUI offender.

“I’m just happy he accepted his responsibility and owned up to what he done. That he did take a life, that he was careless in his actions,” said Jason Bayless.

Owen will remain free on bond until he is sentenced next Wednesday in DeSoto County Court.

He faces anywhere from six to 30 years in prison.

From WMCTV

6 to 3o years? That’s all? For his third DUI! That’s beyond words. I’m so disgusted. In Europe, the second you’re found driving under the influence, which was 0.05 when I was there, you lose your license. No second chance. That’s it. If you’re stupid enough to drink and drive, you don’t deserve another chance. This is insane. Why he is walking around free right now, while those parents grieve fortheir child is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

Ok, off the soapbox. Next!

The Pentagon announced today the formation of a new 500 man elite fighting unit called the US REDNECK SPECIAL FORCES (USRSF).

These North Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Tennessee boys will be dropped into Iraq and have been given the following facts about Terrorists:

1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don’t like beer, pickups, or country music.
5. They are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the death of Dale Earnhardt.

This mess in Iraq should be over IN A WEEK.

Thanks to Joanna, a fellow Soldier’s Angel for that goodie.

Well, they moved me downstairs at work, so I don’t “fall down, go boom” again. I’ve actually got my own little office! I know it’s temporary, so I hope I don’t get hooked.
Here’s a photo, notice the walls, the kind that go all the way to the ceiling!

But, I also miss working upstairs with everyone else in MIS. It’s soooo quiet in here! Luckily just a couple more weeks to go til I’m walking again!
