The Weekend Is Upon Us…
And it’s supposed to be a hot one!
You always see me mentioning Groupon on here, well I saw an article today on the site that was very interesting. They are America’s fastest growing company, set to reach a billion dollars in sales faster than any other company ever has and were created by a 29 year old . It was just good to see an American company doing well and a company I personally believe in succeeding in these horrible economic times. Not only do they offer great deals, but I had instance to deal with their customer service department and they went above and beyond.
There is a very sad ending to the Matrice Richardson mystery. She was the young woman taken into custody by the Sheriff’s department after skipping on a bill at Geoffrey’s in Malibu, who was then released and never heard from again. There was a period of time last week they thought she may be hiding out in Vegas. well, they found remains last week in Malibu Creek State Park that have been Identified as hers. If you saw the press conference yesterday I’d be interested to see what you thought, I think they handled the announcement (and most other aspect of the case) very badly… Her Father found out via the press conference announcement. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
I had something happen yesterday that almost never happens to me… I made a bad batch of cookies! I burned about half the batch by getting distracted and leaving them in the oven for too long and then (I don’t really go by a set recipe… As Sarah Palin would say “I go Rogue” with my cookies) the other half were just “off” for lack of a better word. I’m going to give it another shot tonight!
I was at the CRN yesterday… Jack Roberts is looking much better! It was good to see him looking healthier and in better spirits.
Kids return on Sunday!
If you haven’t heard the audio is at the bottom of this link, Dr. Laura went on a racist rant of sorts and was really insensitive to her caller… I hope she gets in trouble for this.
Talk about aged. Stench needs a Nakation! Speaking of travel, Check out what kids are using their babysitting money for. Enjoy these new scratch and sniff bills. The old pay your tax bill in pennies gag. Killer smoothies… and not in the good way! Get naked for Obama!
Have a great weekend! Rock on, Jack

There is a lot more to the Mitrice story than what is being told right now. Channel 9 news last night had some interesting information from a 911 call from the restaurant and a report about a family member being contacted. This is not ALL a situation that should have the blame to one party.
The sympathy lies in with the victim here, which is Mitrice. I don’t think she was in a good place. My empathy lies with the family and police because it is difficult to manage someone who is dealing with illness such as Mitrice’s. As I was told by the police when my father went missing, there is no crime if they want to go out on their own. Unless they’re a danger to themselves or others there’s no crime. There is such a delicate balance in determining detention of someone. Go too far one way or the other and it’s tragic.
My condolences are with the family. I hope they are able to deal with their grief and come to understand they have an opporunity to help others with family who is dealing with similar situations. Anger will do no good at this time. Punishment should not be one sided, frankly.
