9/11 Flashback with a Friend
As usual, your language is thick and overdone. Not conversational at all. Half the time, you don't state what the story is about up front, which is surprising for a teacher. The posters may give you love, because they can't find it anywhere else, but I don't think the editors have given you any. I just wish I knew where you teach, so I don't go there. Maybe if you got that car-selling job I suggested long ago, you wouldn't have to buy your shoes at Payless. It's just a thought...— September 26, 2009 12:08 a.m.

#s 7, 8, 11, 15 SDaniels-Miss Know it all with a rod up her ass, who buys her shoes at Payless (I buy mine at Ed Hardy thanks to my Reader checks) What makes you think the above references I posted in April aren't the ones that sre made up? Duh! I didn't want to admit it because as I told my daughter, "No one is going to believe a thing I say about Michael Jackson, because to most people, he's just a fantasy. They'll think I've gone mental. They'll accuse me of lying." I wanted to talk about it, but I thought if I did, it may not be usable in Jen's biography (Part II). I tried writing the story about Hollywood, without using Michael's name in A Girl From Nowhere, and it didn't work. There was a big hole in it. It sounds contrived because I had to condense it down. I had reams of paper. I never cease to be amazed by the small-minded people that post on this web site.— September 25, 2009 11:14 p.m.

For you doubters, I can't prove I knew Michael, but I can prove I knew Gene. Under Myspace, under music, under artist, type Gene Page. My picture is under "all his friends." I'm the friend kissing the dog next to Whitney Houston's picture. If anyone cares to pay for the polygraph, tell me when and where to go.— September 25, 2009 10:45 p.m.
One Dad at a Time -- Celebrity Sex Scandals
You know,Josh, during the O.J.trial, I was in line somewhere and heard a lady say, "I think O.J.is innocent. I don't believe a man would kill his wife." Just because it's not within your realm of experience, doesn't mean those things don't happen. She isn't coming out with these allegations because of her book, she wrote the book to heal. There is a syndrome that two female sex-crime attorneys recently described on Dateline. They couldn't get a conviction on a date rapist because women continued to date him after they were raped. These attorneys said that the rape experience is so traumatic, they continued to date the guy to convince themselves that he is o.k. or that it wasn't that bad. To face it would be too traumatic. It sounds like a form of denial. Who could utter those words about their dad, if it wasn't true? I believe her. Some people close to her are verifying her story. I believe her.— September 25, 2009 10:30 p.m.
Home Is Where Cheap Rent Is
Juliegirl: I worked at the welfare department in the 80s. At that time, at least, American-born children were entitled to full welfare benefits. I believe it's still that way. When illegals had six kids, welfare was like hitting pay dirt and it kept them coming. The girls told us they'd hop the border just in time to drop their kid at Palomar Hospital, then walk across the street to apply for welfare, before going home. Once a month, we'd stuff envelopes with welfare checks destined for Tijuana. The only good thing about it was that it was legal for the border patrol to wait for them in the parking lot. That's a goodwayto catch them--there and at the ER.— September 20, 2009 9:58 p.m.
Walking and Chewing Gum at the Same Time

I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues -- Elton John and Jimmy Carter Stuff
I heard that Elton John wasn't enthusuastic about adopting until this little boy captured his heart. I'm against impulse adoption. I think he should let it pass. If he wasn't interested in it enough to pursue it until he was 62, I'm against it. Jimmy Carter hasn't got the brains of a billy goat.— September 16, 2009 7:29 p.m.

From 11-Months to 115 Years Old
Grandpa was a cop. I've got a picture of me of me in a diaper, holding his gun while propped up on the couch. It was used in a newspaper ad for a title company with the word "security" in the title. Go figure...— September 12, 2009 11:01 p.m.
No Bailout For Animals
Hey mentaltwist-- You're my kind of man! If you Google "Adopting Katie," you'll find my essay about adopting an older dog. She was the love of my life. Don't ever volunteer at a shelter, you'll wind up with too many animals like I have. LaPlaca--No one will ever love me like rescue dogs do. They KNOW what you've done for them and appreciate every minute of it.— September 8, 2009 5:04 p.m.
