I Made a MIstake...

 

Hi y'all. Its is damn cold for most people today. Alas, I am a TRUE Canadian and am still wandering around the house in barefeet, t-shirt, and windows open... It's only -4 C (24.8 F) outside. No biggie!!!

Sooooo, I made the mistake of looking up some articles about recent crimes; thinking ahead about working on my crime blog... Man, WTF is happening in this world we are in??? 

I mean, I understand the funeral of common sense happened a couple decades ago... but hasn't it been replaced yet??? 

Isn't there an expiry date on stupidity, or is society just going to get dumber and dumber... Please don't answer, that was DEFINITELY a rhetorical question.

For those of you who don't know, I am obsessed with crimes ~ the story, the investigation, the trials and convictions. I am extremely intrigued in the mind behind the crime. What made the person "flip"? What triggered the perpetrator?? Is is a case of nature versus nurture???

INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW!!!

Today, however, reading some of the stories really shook me.. I was reading stories about new year's eve and there was one story that stuck out... a 10 year old child was hit amd killed by a bullet after there were celebratory shots into the air at midnight. I understand, this is a custom to some people and their culture BUT do they not understand that shooting guns into the air... the bullets still has to come back down. Unfortunately, this celebration ended in traged; but WHY does it take a death for people to even question their customs???

I read a story, that was similar to one of the cases I worked on in my blog regarding a pediatric nurse who was killing her patients.... this is another case of an employee of the hospital was injuring the children in the NICU, 4 in 2023 and 3 in 2024. How does this happen? What goes through a person's mind to harm defenseless infants; most of them who are preemies or there with life-threatening ailments.

Another story is about a mother who put her baby in a tote bag, wrapped in blankets, but left the wee one on someone's front steps... in the middle of a freezing cold night. Now, I am not going to be excessively harsh as I don't know the full circumstances of this case. She appeared to be a young mom, and again, no one knows what her mindset was... the problem I have with this case, is the state has the "Safe Haven" (Baby Box); she could have dropped the baby off at the firestation, the hospital or a police station and no questions would have been asked. She also would not have faced any legal consequences... now she is!!!

I really shouldn't have read any crime stories today. My mind was not ready to wrap my thoughts around such intense, disturbingly sad stories. I DO hope that I will be able to refocus on that soon. I am sorry if this was too graphic for some; but I needed to share it.

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
