It's definitely worth the read, but don't make the mistake I did by reading it at night....makes for rather unpleasant sleep if ya know what I mean... S.
Miss you, too Lori!! At least you & me are in the same time zone!
I want to thank you for your video on panic attacks. I don't want to make a full video about it to preserve some privacy for the involved person, but he appreciated it, too.
After reading your tweet about this, I clicked on the link you provided and read the story.. This guy is just crazy and the little girl who survived is amazing. She is so brave! What a horrific story! To think he is still sitting on death row!
I have a phone bag alot like that.. I'll have to check and see who makes it.. It was my first cover thing I got for my phone! I love it and clip it onto my belt loop at times, especially at the beach! :D Good to see you Sandi!!! xoxo
Hi Judy! I LOVE that new bag! They had it in pink & brown, too...I'm considering going back to get another. I'm not sure how well it showed on camera, but this one is a nice light purple color.
And yes, Carmina has been very brave throughout this whole ordeal. The book is a difficult read for me because I've been just about everywhere mentioned in the book. Makes my stomach hurt. :(
Very cute bracelet. OMG what horrible story. I never actually heard of that. I'll have to look around and see if I can find that book. I do remember hearing about that earthquake. I've never been in an earthquake and something tells me I wouldn't deal with it very well lol : )
We genuinely enjoy spending time together no matter what we're doing. It can be as simple as sitting around playing a game or just helping the boys with homework...life is good! :)
I watched 20/20 Friday night and it is amazing that this girl can even talk about it. I was so impressed with her. What an awful thing! I remember the earth quake! I was in the evening here but I remember thinking, oh, all those poor people! I was in front of the TV ready to watch.
Hi Barb! OMG, I wanted to slap several people at her Q&A session & book signing that day. They asked the most inappropriate questions, and she handled it with grace. I was really proud of her. I keep making the mistake of reading the book at night, and then have disturbing images all night. I'm about half way through it, I'm going to have to get into the habit of reading in the morning or something.
That poor thing! Hasn't she been through enough only to be subjected to thoughless people. I would have had to say something. In situations like that I can't hold my tongue. I wish I were better at rubber band shooting! Yeah, don't read before bed, that story will certainly disturb your sleep! xo
Hi Beth, sorry for the late reply. I was just frustrated with YT and the lack of comment stickage...
Actually...Jonny's school did it bass-ackwards this year. The parade was last weekend, and the homecoming game & dance are this coming weekend. Makes perfect sense, right? Uh...no.
He doesn't care about the dance this year, but I know that he & Alex will be going to the game. :)
I shall head over to Joyce's channel to see if she did a video about it. I have been missing much lately. So much to do, so little time. You're welcome once again :) I should have gotten a Spam holder for me too. I may go get one yet haha Too funny :) I did watch that 20/20. What a horrible man. I can't believe the daughter actually went to visit him in prison. And she was SMILING in the photo with him and then talking bad about him. Uh, DUH!!! HE TRIED TO KILL YOU, FOOL!! Goodness.
Nope, Joyce hasn't made a video about it. I hope she does. (Nag, nag, nag!)
She (Carmina) did discuss the photo and going to see Ramon. She said that she basically removed herself from the moment. She knew that her smile was of a "real" person with real feelings and that she is an optimist. She knew that his smile was absolutely fake. She was back here for almost 2 yrs. before going to see him. All she wanted was for him to take some responsibility for actions...we know that (cont)
didn't happen. She said she had an "OMG, AHA!" moment last night while she was watching 20/20 when she saw him on the plane smirking & smiling about what he'd done, it sounded like she herself couldn't believe she'd seen him after seeing that footage.
I think that she has done very well at removing herself from all that. I wouldn't doubt that she even saw that photo of him smirking because they did say that her adoptive parents shielded her from all of that, keeping that info out of her life, etc. I also just thought of something. Sometimes people have a natural reaction to smiling for a camera. Remember how they said even with her cut neck and bruised up as a 3 y/o she SMILED for the Polaroid? Amazing the human spirit.
I got a bracelet from Melissa too and it's so beautiful isn't it? I love it.
Ya know I was going to tell Beth but never got around to it. But that girl has some gorgeous clothes. Everything I seen her in I was thinking omg that's so pretty.
Thanks for telling us about JeepGirl2 I will be sure and get with her.
I saw the horrible story on 20/20, I will have to read Carmina's story, she really has a lot of strength. I was living in So. Cal when the earth quake hit and I was driving home from work. I called my friend in the bay area and I got through so I left a message.
I have a blackberry, do they make that case for other phone? Nice gifts from Melissa and Beth.
I bet that the blackberry would fit. If you go to their page, it shows where you can buy their stuff, and shows the communications line of items that they carry. Measure your blackberry & I'll see if it would fit.
I remember that earth quake well Sandi. I guess it was because of the World Series and that huge double bridge falling. Oh I'm so glad the bracelet fit and you like it! Woot! I hope your friend raises tons of money. Hugs and Smooches!
Hey woman!! Are you back??? TY re: the hair. It's a really short haircut that fixed a bad haircut that fixed a bad haircut....I was about to give up & have her shave my head.
If you go to pressdemo dawt com and look for Carmina Salcido, you'll find lots of info. Or go to the ABC 20/20 website and you can see last nights broadcast. It's heartwrenching.
I was in an old masonry building on Natoma and 2nd Street in the City. What I remember most was a kind woman who stopped her day to direct traffic, the exodus on foot from downtown and, oh, yeah, the street party that broke out afterwards. We were all thankful to be alive. Peace.
Good story Robert. And nice memory about the lady. I do really remember a HUGE sense of community immediately afterward. It was like people quit being jerks for a few days and remembered that we were all in that boat together and helped however the could.
Her story was just unreal, and how well ajusted she is blows my mind.
I will have to get the book
