Dear Adam and Karen Owens

You knew the cost of loving someone so fragile, yet you gave your hearts like the next thousand years were yours for the taking. You have endured what us parents fear in the deepest recesses of our minds with hope. I am struck by the agonizing choices you have made and how your only concerns were for giving your Gavin the best possible life that you could. When given the option to keep him here you chose to let him go because you loved him more than you loved yourselves, knowing what that decision would mean. because of that, I know that he is taking more love with him than any of us can comprehend. You have taught us to love with abandon. My human mind can not wrap itself around these circumstances but my heart is resolute that God is with us, always.

Talk amongst yourselves

A South Carolina man was busted for having sex with a horse, while on probation for having sex with the same horse.
Rodell Vereen, 50, was arrested Monday night in the throes of bestiality by the filly's shotgun-toting owner, who also has video surveillance of the perverse act. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/07/29/2009-07-29_south_carolina_man_busted_for_having_sex_with_horse.html#ixzz0VzwXGVLA

SOMEONE BUY THIS MAN A PROSTITUTE

Light a Candle

This made CNN headline news:

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- The H1N1 virus has afflicted another celebrity victim.
Shawn Stockman of the R&B group Boyz II Men has been diagnosed with the illness, fellow group members Wanya Morris and Nathan Morris told CNN.

I would like to point out that the H1N1, as far as I can tell, has no motivation to attack poor Shawn Stockman. However, I think they got into a disagreement once, but they patched things up. We should be very afraid - if celebrities aren't safe then think about the fate that awaits the rest of us. I mean.......celebrities, our sacred cows. Doesn't the virus have any respect at all? Could it be HN1 is not a R& B fan? No. According to CNN, "Stockman joins a growing list of stars who have fallen prey to the swine flu, including the Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell and "Harry Potter" star Rupert Grint." Run! Its after pop music and the movies. We are all doomed.

Technology gone wrong

Seriously, today I had very ominous e-mails from strange places. Weight Watchers sent me an e-mail that said "Why aren't you loosing weight", I was eating breakfast at the time. I think they have agents in my neighborhood and man are they judgemental. Then classmates sent a message that said "we found your friends", I think there might be a ransom to follow. If you are a friend of mine, I apologize for your abduction. Then my facebook page said, Patti, find out what God has to say to you. Apparently he has been talking behind my back.

no pants required

Me: Why don't you have your pants on

6 yr old son: They are outside

Me: I thought you were camping in the backyard

6 yr old: I don't need pants to go camping, I'm a boy. Girls need to wear pants and a hat

girl in the next bed

Dear girl in the next bed,



Hearing you and your family light up the night sky with the f bomb was especially heartwarming and I didn't realize that your dad could foghorn burp for hours. His ability to snore over your cell phone play list is admirable. I do agree that your drunk posse should be able to sleep on the floor and I shared your joy that they didn't get busted. And having a complete stranger urinate on the bathroom floor does make you giggle. I remember just like it was yesterday the midnight picnics that you and your mom shared and yes, turning on the lights did create the perfect dining atmosphere. Most of all I enjoyed the sense of adventure we shared as you didn't like to wash your hands.....ever, nothing says excitement like guess which knob i didn't touch.
