So I have this neighbor. When she first moved in I befriended her.Soon after befriending her I found out that she had a child that lived with her mother and according to her it was because her ex husband had molested her. She then preceded to tell me that she could not bring herself to turn him in. However, her mother caught this girls husband in the act and turned him in.
Keep in mind that this woman is pregnant and has 2 other children. Well soon I would see her physically fighting, cursing and breaking things etc.. with her mother while her children screamed and watched. Then she would get into fist fights, choking matches, hit her boyfriend in the head with anything she could and even put his head threw pictures all in front of her children (while they screamed).
Then she began telling us that her boyfriend was hooked on herroine and she would ask us for rides to go check on him.
I blocked her phone and cut ties with her. After I blocked her phone she began telling the neighbors horrible things about us. ( fortunately these neighbors were my freidns and they knew better and they told me).
However, soon she befriended my daughter. She began using my daughter's cell phone to text her boyfriend (trying to set him up) well when he answered what he thought was my daughter, the rage began.
Once she took her rage out on my daughter, my daughter would text her boyfriend telling him everything that she did wrong.
This girl began harassing myself and my daughter. We would walk down the street and she would say things such as "that's it bitch, keep on walkin" ". Then her boyfriend cornered my daughter at a local store threatening her.
I went outside and asked them why they were threatening my daughter. She told me because my daughter was texting her boyfriend . My reply was "whatever" this shit needs to stop. She began screaming things at me such as F--- you, I stayed calm and said don't F--- you me. Then she screamed kiss my a--. I still remained calm and told her that there was not enough time in the day to kiss all of that. Her boyfriend then stood up and told me to go inside. I told him that "it was my yard and that all I did was ask a question, it was his woman that was going nuts."
I then told her to take a look at what she was teaching her children.
Well then my daughter called the cops hoping to end all of the harassment.
well....................... instead she filed a protection order on myself and my daughter stating that I threatened and harrassed her. I HARASSED HER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????? wtf
SHE ALSO BEGAN VISTING ALL OF THE LOCAL STORES TELLING PEOPLE THESE LIES ABOUT US, TELLING NEIGHBORS THESE LIES ABOUT US ETC.. (LITTLE DID SHE KNOW THAT THESE PEOPLE WERE MY FRIENDS).
So now she has opened a can of worms that she should not have opened. She made false accusations about me, is taking me to court over them and I have hired a lawyer to file libel and slander charges.
Plus since she said I was harassing her and it was not true , it will be now. Now every time the fighting starts, I will "call the cops", Every time I see her drinking alcohol while pregant I will "call children services",Every time I know the people who her boyfriend does drugs with are visiting the home, " I will call the cops.
Moral of the story: Do not say someone is harassing you that is not and file charges because if you do it to the wrong person, the harassment will begin. You will see more cops than you ever dreamed of and you will be charged with filing false criminal charges........................

HMMMMMMMMM they walk amongst us
I like to think that all of us conform to standards of what is right or just in behavior. I tend to try to see the good in everybody. However, on February 28, 2010 I was shown that there are people here in West Virginia who fail to have any morals whatsoever. My husband was at work at Little Caesars Pizza in Kanawha City. While in work someone hit his car doing some major damage to it. Did this person come in and apologize or even tell him that they had hit his car? No they did not. How could this person walk around in our city with a smile on his, or her face knowing that he, or she severely damaged our car have not once ounce of remorse for doing so? Only God knows.
I would like to say something to the person who hit my husband’s car and walked away as if nothing ever happened. You are a coward. Little bump or big bump it is your responsibility as a motorist to do the right thing. Think about how you would feel if the situation was reversed.

Bank of America forecloses on house that couple had paid cash for
SPRING HILL — Charlie and Maria Cardoso are among the millions of Americans who have experienced the misery and embarrassment that come with home foreclosure.
Just one problem: The Massachusetts couple paid for their future retirement home in Spring Hill with cash in 2005, five years before agents for Bank of America seized the house, removed belongings and changed the locks on the doors, according to a lawsuit the couple have filed in federal court.
Early last month, Charlie Cardoso had to drive to Florida to get his home back, the complaint filed in Massachusetts on Jan. 20 states.
The bank had an incorrect address on foreclosure documents — the house it meant to seize is across the street and about 10 doors down — but the Cardosos and a Realtor employed by Bank of America were unable to convince the company that it had the wrong house, the suit states.
"Their own real estate agent told them, and nevertheless Bank of America steamrolled right ahead," said Joseph deMello, an attorney in Taunton, Mass., who is representing the couple. "This is a nightmare for anyone, and it affected my hard-working clients a lot."
The Cardosos are seeking unspecified damages from Bank of America. The company showed negligence, trespassed and caused the couple emotional distress and financial hardship, especially because a tenant renting the home at the time got worried and left, according to the complaint. It's still unclear if the couple's credit rating has been affected, deMello said.
The suit names other defendants listed as "John Doe" who could include "employees, agents, contractors or other persons, ordered, hired, or told by BOA to trespass on the plaintiffs' property and to dispose of the plaintiff's personal possessions."
The suit also charges the company with defamation and libel. DeMello said the Cardosos are part of a Portuguese community in the area, and the foreclosure tarnished their reputation.
Charlie Cardoso is an unemployed construction worker, and his wife is disabled. They paid $139,000 for the three-bedroom pool home in the tidy neighborhood a few blocks south of Spring Hill Drive, records show. It was Charlie's life savings, the complaint says.
"We have a lot of friends there, and all the time we've been telling them the house has been paid (for)," a tearful Maria Cardoso said in an interview with WCBV-TV in Boston last month.
The couple, reached at home in New Bedford, Mass., referred a St. Petersburg Times reporter to deMello.
According to the complaint, here is what happened:
Last July, the couple's tenant called the Cardosos in a panic. The single mother of two teenagers accused the couple of lying when they told her she could rent the house as long she wanted. Three men were there to clean out the house and change the locks, she told them.
Charlie Cardoso talked to a real estate agent for Bank of America, who said he would inform the company that it had the wrong house. The couple thought that was the end of the ordeal.
It wasn't. A landscaper Bank of America hired in August to mow the grass on the property broke a fence to bring in his equipment. The tenant got spooked and moved out just before Christmas.
On Jan. 5, a friend of the Cardosos who was helping the tenant pick up belongings found men putting a lock box on the front door. The workers said the house belonged to Bank of America. The friend called the Cardosos.
When Charlie Cardoso called the bank, a representative told him there was a mistake, the problem would be fixed, and he would get a return call. The call never came. The lock box remained.
Four days later, Cardoso and his son drove to Florida, missing the homecoming of another son who was returning from Iraq for a two-week leave.
Cardoso had to prove to police that he owned the house. The next day he broke in through a back door and used bolt cutters to remove the lock box. The water and electricity had been turned off, and pipes had frozen.
The couple filed suit 10 days later.
Possessions the couple had stored at the home, including photos, clothes, tools and small appliances, had been removed and are presumably lost, the complaint states.
In September, three months after Bank of America started foreclosure on the Cordosos, it also foreclosed on the nearby home, records show.
The bank declined to comment to the Times beyond an e-mailed statement.
"We have reached out to the Cardosos' representatives and hope to have the opportunity to work with them to properly assess and address their allegations," the statement said. "We are reviewing the allegations in the lawsuit, the actual events that led to them and the causes of those events, and will consider any hardship that resulted."
Beyond financial damages, the Cardosos want something else.
"Bank of America or somebody should apologize," Charlie Cardoso said during last month's television interview.
At least one bank has acknowledged the record number of foreclosures from the mortgage meltdown has increased the likelihood of such mistakes.
Citi-Residential started the foreclosure process on a home in Kissimmee in 2008 — changing the locks and emptying the pool — even though the owner, who lives in London, didn't have a mortgage with the company, according to a report by Orlando TV station WFTV. Company officials said the high number of foreclosures they were dealing with in Central Florida contributed to the error.
DeMello said he has been fielding calls from other homeowners throughout the country with similar complaints.
As for the Cardosos, they still want to retire in Florida.
"They just don't know if they're going to be able to be in that neighborhood because of the uncomfortable feeling they have right now," deMello said. "Hopefully that will change."

Couple make burglar clean their home at gunpoint
An American couple turned the tables on a burglar they caught ransacking their home by dispensing their own summary justice.
Without waiting for the law to arrive, the pair doled out their own punishment to the surprised criminal - they made him clean up the house at gunpoint!
The unlucky burglar was caught red-handed when Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned to their house near Montgomery, Alabama, after a week away.
To their dismay they discovered their home had been plundered.
"Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home," Mrs. McKinnon told her local newspaper the Montgomery Advertiser.
When her husband walked into another room to check what was missing he came face to face with the burglar, who was wearing one of Mr. McKinnon's hats.
"My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home. And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband's hat sitting right on his head," Mrs. McKinnon said.
Mr. McKinnon held suspect Tajuan Bullock at gunpoint and made him sit down until he decided what to do.
"We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor," Mrs. McKinnon said.
When the police arrived the work-shy burglar had the cheek to complain to them - about having to clean up his mess at gunpoint.
"This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house," said Mrs McKinnon.
But the police officer laughed at Bullock when he complained and told him that anybody else would have shot him dead.
Bullock was arrested on burglary and theft charges and was held in Montgomery County Detention Facility.
A police spokesman said the victims were lucky to be able to catch the suspect in the act and hold him until police arrived. It was an unusual case because usually burglars struck while the homeowner was away and were in and out fast so they could quickly sell the stolen items, the spokesman added.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM now making a man clean THAT is punishment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm I've got it
I will pack live lizards in my underwear, eat my chocolate clothes, let you know when I am pooping and then post my butt fat measurements on the internet for you to see.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I need to go to bed. Things are getting really weird around here.

New Scale Blabs About Your Flab on Twitter
How's this for motivation: A new bathroom scale will tweet your body weight, letting Twitter users know just how fat you've gotten.
As we all get ready to kick off that caloric orgy known as the holiday season, the Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale is now there to track our daily binges and let everyone know.
The $159 scale hit the market a few months ago with the breakthrough ability to beam your weight, body mass and percentage of body fat to your computer. This allows you to track the ballooning of your buttocks graphically -- and that might be easier for some people than, say, looking into the mirror and screaming.
A free iPhone app lets you view all the info on the go, at restaurants, bars and wherever you might indulge.
"Letting our users upload their info on Twitter was a natural extension," says company spokeswoman Jessica Darrican. "For the right person, it just makes all that information all the more real."
Of course, it's completely optional to auto-Tweet every time you step on the scale. The new feature -- introduced last week -- comes at no additional cost. But it's clearly one of those things that some people will love -- and others will find completely revolting.
"You can't ignore the social aspect of dieting, and that's why I think a lot of people will use this and benefit from it," says personal trainer Nicole Glor, who stars in her own line of exercise DVDs.
"I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy, and I find that I turn to my Facebook updates for inspiration to stay in shape. I like to know that people around me are pulling for me." Others feel that you have to look within yourself for real change -- and you won't find that self-reflection on any social media site.
"You can broadcast what your scale is telling you all over the world, but it is not going to get into the root causes of why you overeat," says Debbie Mandel, author of "Addicted to Stress."
"All it might do is create even more anxiety, and anxiety is a leading cause of weight gain."
Weight-tweeting scales might now be a reality. Our only comfort, at least for now, is that we won't wake up the morning after Thanksgiving to find our dangerously overstretched jeans complaining on Facebook.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM now not only can I enjoy the ipoop and know where all of my friends are pooping but now the whole world can see how much butt fat I have....innovation at its best.
Lizardman Enters Literary World
When you gawk at Erik Sprague's green, tattooed face – and let's face it, everyone does – you can't help but wonder what this forked-tongue, fang-toothed guy, better known as The Lizardman, is thinking.
Now he's letting the world know.
This one-time Ph.D. candidate in philosophy has written "Once More Through the Modified Looking Glass," in which he details his experiences since transforming himself into a permanent performer – a decision that has entailed an estimated 700 hours of tattoo work dating back to 1994. Sprague, now 37, says he is only about 80 percent finished.
The book compiles articles, interviews and Q&A sessions with fans, all originally written for the body-modification site BMEzine.com between 2003 and 2007.
The Lizardman tackles such topics as individuality, cultural acceptance and pioneering the bifurcated tongue after convincing an oral surgeon to perform the operation in 1997. "I won him over with the fact that I was sane and rational and had a plan," he said.
He also talks about his appearances at Ripley's Believe It Or Not! museums and other events, which he turns to for income.
In addition to thought-provoking viewpoints on modifications most of us would never have imagined, The Lizardman serves up a hefty dose of the stuff every reader will want to know, like what his mom thinks, how he'll feel about himself when he's 80 and that if possible, yes, he'd get an alligator tail graft.
You'll also find out that The Lizardman does not own any lizards. But he and his wife do keep several ferrets in their Austin, Texas, home. And if you're wondering, no, she is not a Lizardwoman.
Aside from his own experiences, "The Modified Looking Glass" also features interviews with like-minded people. It's a chance to peer into the mind of the Great Nippulini, who lifts anvils from hooks in his nipples, or Coney Island's Sideshows by the Seashore founder Dick Zigun.
But while most interviews involve members of the sideshow community, Sprague's favorite tattooed subject is Mike Jones, the pianist for Penn & Teller's live shows. "He's got some of the most unique and incredibly well-done stuff out there. And on top of that, he is a world-class-level jazz pianist," The Lizardman said.
Jones' bodily illustrations include a ram's horn on both sides of his head and Doc Martens boots on his lower legs and feet. "I just like the way it looks," Jones says in the book.
Despite the pianist's distinctive ink, no one within the tattoo and body-modification world knew of him. "For me to get to bring him to that community was fantastic," Sprague explained.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM we should introduce this guy to the lizard smuggler.
Feast Your Eyes on Chocolate Fashion
If you thought pounds and pounds of chocolate couldn't be flattering for your figure, you haven't seen the fudge-alicious models at the 15th Paris Salon du Chocolat in Shanghai.
Chefs and clothes designers from across the world combined their talents to produce some high-calorie couture. It's all edible but won't melt under the spotlight.
You couldn't say these sweet treats would last even more than one wearing. Then again, how often does a celebrity fashionista get caught on a red carpet twice in the same outfit?
The show started 15 years ago, and has been held in New York, Tokyo and Moscow. This is its first time in Shanghai.
"We have adapted the concept of this exhibition to the culture and customs of each host country by always striving to showcase the skills of the people who produce this exceptional product," organizers Sylvie Douce and Francois Jeantet said in a press release.
"On all three continents, the exhibition reveals the same social phenomenon: the enthusiasm chocolate generates, the pleasure it provides, the well being it provides and the passion of the chocolate makers who transform it."
Douce and Jeantet started the show as a way to bring chocolatiering to new heights. With an emphasis, of course, on presentation.
Their reason for combining chocolate and fashion is quite simple: "It's accessible to everyone."
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Chocolate clothing. Would you ever be able to keep your spouse away??????????????????
Man Who Smuggled Lizards in His Pants Gets Jail Time
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Jan. 27) -- A German man who stuffed 44 small lizards into his underwear before trying to board a flight has been sentenced to prison in New Zealand for plundering the country's protected species.
Hans Kurt Kubus, 58, will spend 14 weeks behind bars and must pay a $3,540 fine before being deported to Germany as soon as he is released, District Court Judge Colin Doherty ruled on Tuesday.
Kubus was caught by wildlife officials at Christchurch International Airport on South Island in December. He was about to board an overseas flight with 44 geckos and skinks in a hand-sewn package concealed in his underwear.
He admitted to trading in exploited species without a permit and hunting protected wildlife without authority, pleading guilty to two charges under the Wildlife Act and five under the Trade in Endangered Species Act.
Department of Conservation prosecutor Mike Bodie told the court Kubus could have faced maximum penalties of $355,000 and six months in prison.
Bodie said the department sought a deterrent sentence for "the most serious case of its kind detected in New Zealand for a decade or more."
The geckos may have been worth $2,800 each on the European market, he noted.
Customs records showed that Kubus had also been to New Zealand in 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2009. In 2008, he had been with a Swiss reptile dealer.
Doherty said Kubus had come to New Zealand and set about poaching the animals in a premeditated way that would have had an impact on particular colonies. There was the potential for Kubus to end up with far more animals than he could have housed in his own collection, and the rest would have been sold.
"I don't think you necessarily came here to steal to sell, but I am sure the fact that you might have had excess was figured into your thinking," Doherty told Kubus
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I wonder what 44 live Lizards would feel like in my underwear................
Plane Lands on NJ Turnpike During Rush Hour
Morning rush hour took an alarming turn today as a single-engine plane made an emergency landing on the New Jersey Turnpike. Neither the pilot nor his passenger, a traffic reporter for Philadelphia media outlets, was injured.
Turnpike Authority Chief of Staff Joe Orlando told AOL News that the Cessna 152 landed in the northbound lanes of the turnpike near Cherry Hill, N.J., just before 6:45 a.m. Monday. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac confirms the landing was precautionary because of a low-oil-pressure indicator.
"He landed in the middle of the road and then pulled off to the shoulder," Orlando said. "We have a hard enough time getting motorists to do that, let alone a crippled aircraft."
No one on the ground was injured when the plane touched down, according to State Police. The turnpike reopened about an hour later, after a truck towed the aircraft to a turnpike maintenance yard. The landing caused delays, as traffic was diverted only to the left shoulder.
The plane, hired by Metro Networks, was hovering above the turnpike to provide traffic reports to KYW-AM radio and KYW-TV.
Orlando said the stretch of the turnpike where the landing took place in the southern part of the state was not as bustling as parts in northern New Jersey, where the pilot likely would have encountered bumper-to-bumper traffic.
It may not seem as miraculous as last year's plane landing on the Hudson River, but Orlando, a licensed pilot, praised the Cessna pilot's quick thinking and aviation skills.
"He landed better on the roadway than I've seen some pilots land on the runway," he told AOL News.
Ok I do not know about you but if I saw a plane land on the road in front of me I would need the ipoo because I would have definately pooped my pants !!!!!!!!!!!!

iPoo Takes Social Media Into the Potty
Bathroom readers of the world, rejoice!
Some people have no qualms about bringing newspapers and magazines into the commode. And then there are those who pooh-pooh lavatory libraries.
Now, a new iPhone app creates an online community for poopers, so they can chat with each other, draw graffiti on a virtual stall and look at a map to see where others are doing their business.
Released in early December, iPoo now has more than 20,000 members, many of whom share way too much private information on a daily basis.
"Users know who is pooping and where, but they don't know each other's names," says a 27-year-old programmer who co-founded CeilingHouse, the company that created iPoo.
The programmer and his partner wish to remain anonymous. But they describe themselves as techies in graduate school.
"We never thought this would be a moneymaking venture," he says. "We're both at a certain point in our careers that it might not be looked on in a favorable way. If someone finds out, whatever. But I just think it's better this way."
After breaking his spine in three places more than a year ago, the programmer says he taught himself the skills necessary to create iPhone apps – and thought of this project one night in a bar as a practice exercise.
Apple at first hesitated to give iPoo an App Store listing. CeilingHouse had to agree not to let users mail pictures to each other.
Users can, however, join a "Poo Stream," which is a Twitter-style free-for-all among your potty palls.
And if you're really bored, just hit the "Tidbits" button, and you'll find random facts, like this one: "Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator while he was filming 'Lorne Greene's Wild Kingdom.' "
I have my doubts about this app and the Lorne Greene tidbit. But either way, if you spend too much time using iPoo, it can be a real pain in the butt (but only because of where you're siting).
Ok now this sure makes me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I do NOT want to know where any of you are popping !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do not buy me one of these :-)

"We never thought this would be a moneymaking venture," he says. "We're both at a certain point in our careers that it might not be looked on in a favorable way. If someone finds out, whatever. But I just think it's better this way."
After breaking his spine in three places more than a year ago, the programmer says he taught himself the skills necessary to create iPhone apps – and thought of this project one night in a bar as a practice exercise.
Apple at first hesitated to give iPoo an App Store listing. CeilingHouse had to agree not to let users mail pictures to each other.
Users can, however, join a "Poo Stream," which is a Twitter-style free-for-all among your potty palls.
And if you're really bored, just hit the "Tidbits" button, and you'll find random facts, like this one: "Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator while he was filming 'Lorne Greene's Wild Kingdom.' "
I have my doubts about this app and the Lorne Greene tidbit. But either way, if you spend too much time using iPoo, it can be a real pain in the butt (but only because of where you're siting).
Ok now this sure makes me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I do NOT want to know where any of you are popping !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do not buy me one of these :-)
You Bring Your Car in We'll Drop It Off Update
The check that "The Pit Stop" gave Brandon did not clear due to insufficient funds.
After taking the check into the bank they returned to the "Pit Stop" with the bounced check and the title to the car (which the "Pit Stop" had requested") only to discover that they had moved his car away from the business.
When Brandon asked the owner why the check that he had given him to cover destroying his car had bounced, the owner told Brandon to get a lawyer that they were not paying what he wanted.
So not only is this company not professional and dropped his only car from a lift destroying it, but they also wrote him a check for $5,000.00 KNOWING that they did not have any money in the bank to cover it (which is fraud).
So getting a lawyer is exactly what they are doing as well as turning them in for fraud, turning them in to the BBB, and writing an article to the newspaper so that nobody else is hurt by this company.

How Drunk is Too Drunk?
Police say a man suspected of stealing a bottle of Schnapps from a Wyoming grocery store didn’t have the best escape route planned.
Riverton police say the 26 year old ran out of the store after grabbing the bottle of booze and a package of cough drops Wednesday and hid in a nearby building which just happened to be the police station.
Police said that the man then ran out of the police station, but not before a dispatcher had spied him on the station's surveillance camera and alerted officers.
The man, who police say was drunk, was caught soon after. He was taken into custody on preliminary charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.

You Bring Your Car in We'll Drop It Off
There is a new Automotive Shop in Kanawha City Called "The Pit Stop". They had only been open for 3 days when my daughter's boyfriend decided to bring them some business and get a belt changed on his car.
Approximately 10 or 15 minutes after taking his car in they took him aside to ask him if he wanted to sell his car. Brandon told them no he had just bought it. The guy replies well buddy I dropped your car off of the lift.
Ok here is the worst of it. First Brandon still owed $3,200.00 on the car. The "Pit Stop " owner tried offering him $1,500.00. When Brandon said no the owner then said that his insurance company had offered him $600.00 for the car.
Brandon tried being civil and working it out between them and when the men from the "Pit Stop" kept laughing about it Brandon then said he was just going to get a lawyer and take it to the newspaper. He said clearly" I want $5,000.00".
$3,200.00 for what i owe and $1,800.00 to get another car since you totalled mine and I am a pizza delivery driver.
Brandon brought the guy who OWNS the car with him and they refused to speak to him. He OWNS the car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then and only then did the guys listen. They wrote him a check for $5,000.00. He is waiting to see if the check bounces. If it does all of this will be brought to a lawyer and sent to the local newspaper.
Oh BTW while they were there the "Pit Stop" had messed up two other people's cars in three days time.
Keep posted for update......................
