In New Bedford, Mass. A 98 year old woman is charged with second degree murder, after she strangled her 100 year old roommate. Laura Lundquist is now in a mental hospital for a full evaluation. Lundquist killed her roommate, 100 year old Elizabeth Barrow, after she felt that she was trying to take over the room. Lundquist had complained that her roommate had to many visitors and had also made threatening and harassing comments to Barrow. Barrow had complained that Lundquist was making her life a living hell. Scott Barrow had ask the nursing home to separate the two, but the staff assured him that they were getting along just fine. The home stated that the two acted like sisters and did every thing together.
What a bunch of crap. My wife has worked in nursing homes for years and it is horrifying to hear some of the stories that she tells me. Most of these people in the nursing homes are treated like crap. They are told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. It is so sad that they live there whole lives and then get put in a nursing home and the home treats them so bad. In this case the nursing home didn't care about what was going on. That is pretty typical of most nursing homes. They don't care about these people. Most of the time it is a bunch of young kids just out of high school that are taking care of these people, we call them nurses aids. Most of them this is just a job they are just there to get a pay check and go home.
I think that the family should sue the nursing home. I mean the nursing home was aware of the problem and did nothing to correct it. The nursing home should of taken care of this, as soon as they heard about the problem. A poor woman who lived for 100 years just to end up dead because someone was at work to collect a check. That is why I will never put my family in a nursing home. I know what goes on behind those walls.
It is a shame that this poor woman's life ended this way. It is also sad to know that because the people at the nursing home were not doing there job one is dead and the other will live her last few years in a mental hospital. I think that worse thing about the whole thing is that the nursing home is getting away with murder.

Flynt wins partial victory in fight over his name
Larry Flynt in court again! This is not the first time that Flynt has seen the inside of a court room. Larry Fylnt who started in the porn business more then 40 years ago, and owns Hustler magazine, is suing his nephews for using the name Flynt on there own porn business. Flynt fired his nephews from executive positions in Nov. 2007. Flynt said that they were doing a horrible job and let them go. Flynt also says that they the boys stuff is just trash and that by using his name it is hurting his reputation. Flynt's attorney says that his client wants to maintain his good name in the porn community. A jury of four men and four women deliberated for about three hours and determined that the nephews did in fact infringe on their uncle's trademark.
Are you kidding me! I mean there stuff is trash and the others is .......... what? What reputation is he talking about. I mean look at the guy, he's not in a wheel chair just because he's old. Some really upset guy shoot him and his lawyer back 1978. I don't have a problem with what he does. It is a free country and he has the right to do what ever he wants. I don't feel that he has the right to sue his nephews for doing what he did 40 years ago. I mean Flynt is there name too.
I think that Flynt is just ticked that they went out and started there own company. I also think that there is more to all this then they were doing a horrible job. If they were doing such a bad job why did they work there for 10 and 17 years. I don't no what the real story is, but I would guess that there is more to this story then that. I mean Flynt is none for doing some very off the wall stuff.
Well this just goes to show you should never work for family. It never turns out good no matter what business it is.

Bigfoot in the northwoods? Camera picks up strange image near Remer
Tim Kedrowski and his sons believe they have a photo of a real live Bigfoot. Kedrowski had set up a motion camera in the woods just before deer seasons in Minnesota. Kedrowski retrieved the camera sometime later, and discovered a large figure in his photo's. Not knowing what to think Kedrowski then asked his neighbors if any of them had been in the area. Kedrowski discovered that nobody to his knowledge had been in the area. After a great deal of investigating Kedrowski determined that it must be Bigfoot. Kedrowski who is some what of a skeptic, firmly believes this is truly a Bigfoot. Kedrowski then contacted Don Sherman and Bob Olsen, the Northern Minnesota Bigfoot Research Team. Sherman review the evidence and the location, and determined that the photo was a Bigfoot. There has been many sightings in the past years in this community. There has been sights, foot prints, and reports of strange noises coming from the woods.
I know what you are thinking. That it is some goof ball out there trying to make a name for himself. That my be true, but it doesn't excuse the fact that there has been sights all over the world for hundreds of years. Some say they real and others say they are just a myth. I don't know if they are real or not, but I do believe that there are people out there that really do believe. I have meant some of these people and been friends with some people who have experienced an encounter with what they believed to be a Bigfoot. In this very area there is believed to be Bigfoots. There seems to be a lot of questions about Bigfoot that nobody has ever answered, and my never answer. Some ask the questions and will never believe until these questions are answered.
Bigfoot, aliens from outer space, or even ghosts do they exist? I can't say for sure, because I have never experienced any encounters my self. I do in fact have a very open mind with each of these subjects. I find it hard to believe that thousands of people just make this stuff up. I mean why not? Why can't they exist? Yes I will admit that there are questions that make them hard to believe, but there are so many things in this world that can't be explained. Seeing is believing. I think that phrase is bull. I mean how many people believe in god, and have they ever seen him. Well some say they have, but most have not and they still believe.
Believe or don't it makes no difference. People will believe what they want. I personally believe that there is something out there. Just remember somethings just can't be explained.

My thoughts
Well I know we are supposed to blog about a news article, but I have been sitting at this computer for about 10 hours. I have been trying to get caught up on my math and finishing up my last test. Well needless to say it has been a very long evening. My mind is fried and I really could not find a article that I could connect with to write about, so I decided to blog about some of my feelings about all the news articles that I have seen tonight.
I mean all the news you see on T.V. and on-line is all the same. It is all about death or murder or how some famous person screwed up. It is so depressing! I know that some people out there really like to read about what is going on out there, and on some level I do too. The problem I am having is that I am sick of hear about all the garbage out there. Where are all the good stories about happy things. I am tired of hearing about all the sick and demented people out there. Yes there are stories out there about good and happy things, but so far few and in between anymore. It is hard to sit and read story after story, about child molesters, murders, or some golfer that cheated on his wife.
People don't seem to understand the effect that the media has on the public. The media has a lot of power and most don't even know it. They have influence on what people say, do and even how they spend there money. People trust in what the media say and most believe everything they hear. When in fact most of the time the media is just out to get good ratings. Even if they have to stretch the true or straight up lie. They say what is necessary for good news, or as they say bad news is good news.
Like I said before I didn't do a blog on a news article. I did an article about how I feel about most of the news articles. Well I guess I will say sorry Mrs. Chism that I didn't post a blog on a news article, but it has just been one of those days.

Cody the convenience store dog must go, state warns
Cody the convenience store dog must go, says the state of Florida. Cody is a chocolate labrador that has greeted customers at a convenience store in Clearwater, Florida for many months. The state of Florida has put a stop to Cody's career as a store clerk. Karim Mansour, how is the owner of the store and the dog, was given a warning to remove the dog. If Mansour did not then all Mansour, food products would be unfit for consumption. Mansours store sells only packaged and sealed foods, but does not matter to the state of Florida. Mansour was told that if he had a back room where food was not stored then the dog could stay there. Mansour says that if he were to that then he may as well leave Cody at home. Many of the local customers were very upset to find out that Cody would no longer be at the store.
That is crazy! I think that the government has to much control over what people do. I mean what was he really hurting. I mean you can go into hospitals and they have theripy dogs that visit with people all the time. What about people who have speical needs they don't make them stay out of stores. What is the difference? I mean really I know some dogs that are cleaner then some people that I know. I just love how we say this is a free country but it hasn't been a truely free country in a long time. It my be the freest country in the world, but it doesn't seem fair that the government can tell you how to run your buisness.
I could understand if the guy was selling hot food that was served open or something, but it was all seal foods like pop, crackers and chips. I mean I have heard of lots of stories of people finding worst things in package food other then a dog hair. Lets set the story stright here my blog is not about what I think Cody or his owner should do. It is the fact that the government has to much control over the people. I mean just look around, I mean really look around how many things do you have to ask if you can do or get permits for. The answer is almost everything.
Needless to say it won't be long before this country is no longer free at all. If the government wants something bad enough they will do it.
