Beyond the Barbeque

Soldier, rest, thy warfare o'er,
Dream of fighting fields no more.
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Sir Walter Scott

Memorial Day began as a memorial for Civil War veterans. It's long since grown to be a day to pay homage to all who have passed on to the next level. As you place your flowers and indulge in backyard get-togethers, remember the ones who have fallen for our freedom & pray for the safe return of all those who still fight.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL WHO KEEP IT FREE

To all that read this site as you travel to your family or friends graveside this weekend try this and lets see how it works for a change.
Take and extra bunch of flowers with you (don't have to be expensive) and place on a Veterans Grave. The forgotten few have turned into a field of many.
We often hear of the sacrifice made by a Vet but do we sacrifice a little for them as we pass their graveside or just ignore them.
If nothing else place a little Flag on their grave. Most have a marker and some are family or a friend. God Bless America.

ROSE said...

Howdy!! Hope everybody enjoyed the long weekend. If you haven't yet, it's too late now 'cause it's over!!

Here's a little something worth sharing. We went to Kings Island this weekend & our cell phone got dropped in the locker area of the water park & left behind. By the time we figured out where it disappeared, quite a bit of time had elapsed. We went back to the Lost & Found without much hope & much to my never-ending shock, somebody had turned it in. They hadn't even used it to make hour-long calls to foreign lands or anything.

Earlier that day, we were having breakfast at our hotel & a lone elderly lady asked if there was room at our table for one more. We asked her to join us & shared a lovely breakfast with a perfect stranger.

Yes, I believe in Karma. What goes around comes around. One good deed - one kind word - attracts another. Treat people the way you want to be treated & eventually, you'll get lucky. You don't "deserve" it - you *earn* it. Through your actions, your deeds & your words. If it doesn't come your way (whatever "it" might be), you didn't "deserve" it in the first place. Try harder next time.

So ... let's do talk about Mr. Lanham & those just like him. If you go around beating the crap out of innocent citizens, expect the tables to turn on you. Honestly, though, what's he got to lose? He continues to walk the streets, just like those who shoot at each other all the time & those who steal people blind & those who cook up deadly concoctions around children.

We need big, ugly, bald (read: intimidating, don't care to get their face & hair messed up) lawmen to make it perfectly clear that they're not afraid of the law-breakers. We need people to press charges & prosecutors with cojones the size of Texas & made of steel to make those charges stick. We need laws that protect people who press charges so the criminals are the ones who are punished, not the victims. We need to make jail a place that nobody wants to visit twice. We need to stop pussy-footing around "civil rights" and DO what's right.

We need to stop drinking caffeine after 8 p.m. ........... teeheehee

My thoughts on Michael E... he is a low down dirty scum-sucking SOB. He doesn't care who he hurts. He usually doesn't have any reason to pick on and hurt most of the people he does. (AW deserved his but that is another story). Michael goes after the little people (the ones he knows/thinks won't hurt him and he can get the best of them.

On the other hand...Michael may be in need of somewhere to sleep, something to eat, somewhere to stay with air conditioning. And he may figure this is the way to get a one way ticket to the pokey.

Either way he is still a worthless piece of trash that needs to be swept up and thrown away.

I wonder if Murder Mountain is for hire?

PS: MP is not the only person up at late at night.

Anonymous said...

Hey rose, how does this work for example: if a person commits a crime and no charges are filed but a report has been taken: is it not up to the state to take it from there? Now in the case of AW filing charges, it has been handed down to the new ass. pros. attorney with little or no experence. AW is a little concerned about that. A good old TOWN MEETING to deal with a major town problem might help, maybe discuss the liability's in TAR and FEATHERING. Maybe just a simple demand from the people of Clay Co. to obey the law or leave, and inforce it.

Anonymous said...

And by the way , word on the street is michael lanham stays up on murder mt. when he is not with his daddy.

ROSE said...

Good morning!!

If Mr. Lanham is looking for a 1-way ticket to the pokey, it'd serve his purpose better to try it from another county. Especially if he's looking for an extended stay. Of course, our jails are extremely over-crowded & frankly, I don't want to support his sorry behind while he enjoys 3 squares a day on my tax dollar.

"AW deserved his" ??? How so? Because he prints what everybody's saying anyway? Granted, it might not be all that smart to print gossip, rumors & every little thing you hear on the street, but he IS selling papers & that's what he does. He's never claimed to be smart, just good-looking. Nobody deserves to be blind-sided by some deranged lunatic with nothing better to do. Mr. Lanham could've filed a slander suit against AW & we all know you can do that for free if you can't afford it on your own.

Nobody has any faith in our justice system, but it's all we've got. Personally, I'm a little more "Old Testament" than today's oh-so-politically-correct society allows. Tar & feathers are expensive; trussing him up & giving each of his victims (or their chosen substitutes) 5 minutes alone with him would be free.

He'll get too cocky one day and either take on or p*ss off somebody crazier than he is. Karma. Remember the Karma.

Anonymous said...

maybe ther's a purpose to michael L. madness. AW was snitching about what he does. i believe his latest victim is a brother to the circuit clerk. could there be someone behind Michael. someone who likes things the way they are. a drug lord , maybe. someone with influence, someone with a lot of political clout.

Anonymous said...

Who set the bond when someone get in trouble? One day he'll meet his match. As A.W. I think Mike had the nerve to do what 3/4 of the people in Clay Co would like to do but don't have the gut to do it. As far as the news goes you find out more on the blogs than on his news. I think he is disillusion that he thinks he is a investigataor reporter and Mel Gibson look alike more a fat PeeWee Hermon look a like.he publish smut he makes fun of everone that is good. The only reason that he is down on Iron Mike is cause he bet the crap out of him. The one's that swore to uphold the law is the one that doing the pople the unjustices get rid of them and vote some one in that will do what they are elected to do. Or put up withe some old crape that has went on Clay Co for ages. CS

Iron Mike, needs help, instead of talking about him why don't some one try to help him? Show him some kindness.

Anonymous said...

It isn't kindness he needs. It's called rehab. Clay and every other county in the nation would do well to familiarize themselves with it. Everyone says, "Throw their drug ridden asses in jail." Fine, you can't keep someone in jail for very long just for drugs (or evidently for anything else in Clay). They get back out worse off then they were to start with.
You aren't going to cure someone's substances addiction with time in the hopper. It doesn't work that way. It only enhances the problem. But no one wants to hear that do they. They want to be rid of the problem, give it to someone else, not worry about it. Besides Clay can't afford to keep their residence locked up long. That's the other part of the problem.

Sentence him to a coal mine on his knees for thirty years like some "normal" people have had to do. It isn't societies fault he chose to go down the road he has chosen. Why should society bail him out? Notice the types he is picking on. He is nothing but a deranged junkie. Allowed to spew his hatred for himself on the public. The Romans had a cure for transgressors like this along the Appian Way.

Anonymous said...

You say put him the pokey. I agree. But the problem with Michael E and the pokey is this: He is a drug addict. There are more drugs floating in CRJ than their are on the streets. Granted you can't get beer, whiskey or wine. Correction, He can make his wine with his 3 squares. Bread, Juice, etc. Eating coffee grounds with no water is like crank. So where is putting him in the pokey going to help?

As for AW deserving his thrashing: absolutely right. You can take the average citizen and let them say something wrong and that is all it takes for Ann Dee to it into something more awful than it was. Stop and think. Ann Dee puts stuff on his website and people all over the world read it. I know people as far as California read his website. What are they thinking when they read that stuff?

They are thinking...
A> I am glad I don't live there.
B> What a bunch of A holes that live in Clay County.
C> They don't have any decent law enforcement.
D> That county has more than its fair share of drug addicts and idiots.

Bleeding heart liberal. That's a nice 1990's saying. Work isn't foreign to me at all. I just got home from it as a matter of fact. My point was and I'm not talking specifically about ML, is that everyone fusses day in and day out about all the drugs in Clay County, but no one does anything about it but throw the abusers in jail, where as it was mentioned, there are just as many if not more drugs then there are on the street, and they're ADDICTED. Jail time isn't going to stop their addiction. Until the addictions are addressed then the problem will perpetuate into an even worse monster than it already is. You can work them to death, but I've known people who have worked their butts off every single day but it didn't negate the fact that they were still alcoholics.

ROSE said...

Hmm. Interesting place here today.

SB, I'm leaving that one on here for a brief moment in time (because it's hilarious), but if it disappears, I trust you'll understand I had to be quicker on the keyboard than the Little People. LOL

Throwing the drug addicts in jail might not "solve" the problem, but it'd d*amn sure get them off the streets & keep them from recruiting & killing others.

Call me cold-hearted (if you must), but as a parent, I'm far more concerned about keeping that crap away from my children than I am the adults who have already voluntarily gotten themselves addicted. I've said it before & I'll say it again (& again & again) - drugs are a CHOICE. If you make the conscious choice to try drugs & get yourself addicted, that's YOUR problem. If you offer my kids drugs, then YOUR problem becomes MINE. I have enough problems as it is & have zero tolerance for people who create more for me.

There have to be priorities in this world. Keeping drugs out of the reach of our youth would be a top one. Rounding up the drug addicts & putting them out of business would be a top one, too. Keeping the hopped up idiots from hurting innocent citizens would also be right up there. If there's any money left in the budget, fine, put them in rehab. Rehab is a great & wonderful thing, but PREVENTION is a far better strategy. Eliminate the availability, eliminate the source, eliminate the distribution & rehab becomes a non-issue.

Anonymous said...

It's a shame what started out honoring vets turned into a conversation about drug addicts.

An addict of any sort needs help. Whether its smoking, drinking or drugs, they need help.

Drunks kill people every day. Smokers kill people every day.

Let's throw them all in jail so the vegetarian, non-smoking, non-drinking, bleeding heart tree huggers can take over the world.

Anonymous said...

i find it interesting that the discusion is always about the addicts and none or very little about the people who distribute the drugs. maybe the fear that you will be pinpointed as mikes next victim has something to do with it. maybe a lack of cojones among our fine citizens has something to do with it. each one is trying to push his neighbor out front. which one of our fine neighbors in clay and clay co is importing the drugs. how come none of our fine citizens never see the thieves in action. or is it the lack of enough cojones to say you have seen them. but of course that would attract attention and might bring iron mike calling. have a fine day

Nice to see the middler schoolers visit the blogs. We're all very impressed with four letter words. WOWEE! This site went just plain crazy. It is a shame, like the anon said, it started out with a good topic and then went to pot (tee hee...sorry!)

I'm with Rose, the priority for me is to keep my kids away from those who do and push drugs.

I think meth use has pushed drug use into an entirely new demension and very little is done about it. Except weird things like causing me to have to go to customer service at the store when I want to get allergy medicine. I live out here in the "grass seed capital of the world" (so says the sign as you enter the city), and we're only allowed to buy like 2 packages per month in a certain vicinity and we have to show our drivers licenses when we do. That's all good and fine if I were just buying for me but I have two kids who suffer them as well. Then you have to get a doctors order for stuff that isn't even perscription. It's a total pain!

Throw them all in jail. Think of the industry it provides!

20 more days!

I live with my very own "Iron Mike" in my family. It is odd to to here about this "Iron Mike", because i belive "Iron Mike" and the one in my family must be twins. He is always in fights, hasnt lost a one that i know of, (not that im proud =/) always in jail, either got a beer or some other substance, will knock you flat with no warning. Will steal you blind, will tear up your property, will beat down your boyfriend and or his buddies, will go after public figures, not to easy on his girlfriends, wich he has many at one time. His own family walks on egg shells around him for fear he might get miffed at them next. Yet can be so loving to that you tend to forgive or at least forget what hes done till he strikes again. I do not know what causes this. I do know he was like this before he started anytype of drugs or drinking. Somehow i cant help but wonder if your "Iron Mike" isnt just as lost an sad as ours. If ever he finds his peace with some type of help someone plz post it here. Lord knows we could use that kind of peace for our "Iron MIke".

What has your State Troopers done? From what I read NO one get's arrested for anything. Don't praise anyone until they do something.

ROSE said...

GOOD MORNING!

I don't know the current sheriff personally & I'm not "close enough to the action" to get in on the nitty-gritty gossip. Frankly, I don't give a flying rip about his office's whizzing contest with the CCC. Nor do I give a flying rip about anybody's career aspirations. Nor do I care who gets the credit, as long as somebody gets the job done. If it takes a State guy to get results because he's the only one not in somebody's pocket, that's fine by me. The pockets around here are getting pretty full anyway.

What I DO care about is a safe environment for raising our children & giving them the wherewithal to say NO to those who manage to slip under the radar.

Take note this weekend of all the out-of-state license plates cruising through our fair county. The first weekend of every month, they're everywhere. What do you do about it? Easy. There aren't that many roads leading into this county. There's a huge "Click it or ticket" campaign going on. Set up road checks for seat belts, check registration & insurance while you're at it & monitor the license plates. I'm sure some of the New Yorkers are truly just passing through. When the same ones pass through the first weekend of every month, though, somebody should be taking notes.

There's nothing "iron" about Mike. There's nothing "iron" about anybody who slugs unsuspecting people for no reason & rarely is there a valid excuse for slugging somebody. Better monikers for those people would be "Lack of Self-Control [insert name here]," "Bully [insert name here]," or, in the mentality of grade schoolers (which the bullies could more easily relate to), "Sissybutt Bully Wimp Little Baby Pansy [insert name here]".

Anonymous said...

here is a suggestion; sence nothing is done about an assault, why don't someone friends that is bigger than Mike L beat the crap out of him and let him know how it feels. The law won't do anything to them, even if the law did something take up a collection from the victims and pay the fine,and or post bail. what ever it take to put the bad boy out of commision.

Yeah on the one hand he professes to promote tourism here and on the other who would want to spend any quality time here after reading the communicator and the news page.

Now as for the so called "Iron Mike" his fate will come when he runs into some old Viet Nam Vet thats eat up with cancer from agent orange one of these days and he will either get shot, stabbed or cut up or they will just beat him until theres no signs of life left and I for one would do just that.

But he ticked the CC off and they got rid of him. some of the rumors were true about Kelvin and some was twisted around to make it look like he was worse than he was. He took on the bad boy but they were let go. could it be that felons can't vote and the politicions can 't afford to let them go to jail. It's the bad boy election the ones in office cause they know nothing going to be done about there bad ways. Change the one in the Court House and get some law abiding citizens in there and see if the crime rate won't go down.

How many of those arrests and charges were tossed out over faulty police work? Take for instance Adam Arnold meth bust. Poof! All gone, cops had not secured the evidence.
What happened to all those charges aginst Iron Mike? All have been dismissed except the one against fat ass An Dee.
if it ain't bad police training and inexperienced Prosecutor, what could it be?
We actually have some pretty good local defense lawyers. OFten they can get a person off the hook before arrest nightfall

You apparently have brains use them for your ideas not for hatin on a boy who isnt even in your life. Not one of you can say Mike L. has done anything directly to you. After he reads this blog or hears of this blog haha im sure ppl will walk a little lighter. I remember when Gene King used to hold boxing matches up in the Jr. High parking lot staring "Iron MIke", no wonder he thinks its ok to go around boppin ppl on the head...........

Ok so i spelled Kevin name wrong big deal, not the only time a word was spelled wrong, but you only point it out when someone says something that you don't like. you still got the jest of it
And no i'm not family of the McCune's. Half of the people that knew him love to hate him cause he had that personally.

Actually, some of us CAN say that Mikey L. has done something directly to us before. He scared my daughter (who was still little enough to be in a carseat at the time) and I nearly to death one night because I wouldn't give him a ride home from the game room. I had the passenger side door open because I was putting my daughter in her carseat. He blockaded me and wouldn't let me in or out of the truck. Someone had to come out of the game room, physically move him away from my truck and offer him a ride home so that he'd leave us alone.

any time a person does an illegal act against a citizen it directly effects every person in that area.

lots of mention in here that andy deserved what he got. well for all of those that say that he deserved it. all can go to hell as far as i am concerned.

both my grandfathers fought wars. one in ww2 and the other korea. then i had uncles to serve in vietnam. no my dad did not serve he was medically disqualified by a draft board. now myself am a veteran of two wars (gulf war and current iraqi war) and i am still in the military doing my job to keep american values strong.

my family has always made great sacrifices for the american cause. even if the prez is disagreeable and has no support we still stand and do our patriotic duty to uphold all that is sacred in this country.

one of those sacred things is andy's right to publish whatever he wants to include his opinion-it is his paper. freedom of speech is a big one and all newspapers have a certain level of opinion. of course some more than others. no way, shape or form should mike have hit andy for what he had written in ink.

then there is the matter of the old man. did he print something too or was he instigating a fight?? what's your opinion there. was mike right in beating the crap out of him?? i think not.

the constant attacks and some being unprovoked means that whereevr he goes is an unsafe place. i dont know of anyone that has ever been arrested of that many fights and i have known some rowdy people in and around the marine corp. if that is an accurate arrest statistic then we could prolly double that number to include fights he didnt get arrested for.

our kids getting out from the middle school and walk down main street for fear they might say the wrong thing to the wrong person. then what?? what will we do when he pounds on a 12-15 year old. i know if it is one of my own i will have to react in a way that might land me in trouble. a law abiding citizen that doesnt get in trouble getting in trouble for cleaning up trash that the local police dept and prosecutor shoulda swept away. i imagine if they wanted him away he would be away. if he was on bond the latest fight should have been enough to at least get a petition for a bond revocation hearing. the back to the big house enjoying 3 a day.

to anon 2:52 If Mike L. goes around beating up old people and weak people he need the crap beat out of him, I havent read where any one was going to gun him down. He is a coward or he would pick on some one his age and size not people in wheelchairs and the ones that are old, only a coward would do that.

Thanks to the service manfor protecting American people.We honor you. But don't try to defend an a**hole.

lol you must be one of those liberal assholes that like to stretch the paper that our very own constitution is written on.

if you read that service mans message he is defending a citizen and standing up for that citizens rights. then also bashing "iron mike" and proclaiming how unsafe the county is.

who's the asshole he is defending?

andy or mike?

andy has done no more in his paper than you just did on here. you called him a dirty name. so if he is a HORSE'S rear i must say you are genuinely made of the same stuff and have the same values in life. calling it just the way you see it and letting people know your very own OPINION.

ROSE said...

First & foremost, please remember that there's a language rule here.

To the Anon who said, "Thanks to the service manfor protecting American people.We honor you. But don't try to defend an a**hole." ...

Did you really just say, "Don't try to defend an a**hole" ??? Are our service personnel supposed to go around giving everybody a personality test to decide who to defend & who not to? This is AMERICA & those who fight for our freedoms are the very ones who give each & every one of us the right to be an a**hole. That's why we call this "A Free Country."

If we weed out the a**holes, we'll have to turn on each other & that'd be ever so boring.

Mike L is exactly what he's been allowed to become. No more, no less. If he's a small-time thug, it's because we've made room in our world for small-time thugs. If he's just a lost soul in need of ... whatever ... it's because we've neglected to help him find his way. He's like a little kid who will push & push & push just to see what Mama will let him get away with & so far, looks to me like he's getting away with whatever the heck he feels like. Who needs the whoopin' - the little kid or the mama?

NINETEEN DAYS!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!

I have every right to complain about Micheal E. One night on my way to Go-Mart Michael E was drunk as a skunk in heat. He jumped out in front of my car and I barely had time to stop. He stood in front of my car yelling hit me, it won't hurt. He then turned around and let loose with fireworks and a string of cuss words that would make a sailor blush.

OLD long tail. appears to be boxer or doberman but don't think is either one. healthy, friendly, looks purebred. seen 10 A.M. 6/2/06 hungry, hated to send him on without food but they only get roadkilled here. notified authorities.

Rose I posted this on another site by mistake. It has more purpose here. I hope you don't mind that I posted it here as well.

I left Clay County for 2 years. I couldn't wait to get back home. Now I can't wait to leave again.

Clay County. Loved and hated.

Would perfer a town with law enforcement that actually does it job.

A town where a*holes don't run loose.

A town with a quite peacefulness about it.

A town where you can still leave your door unlocked when going to your backyard.

A town where you can leave the door open on hot muggy nights without worry of getting murdered in your sleep.

Anyone know of this place?

Anonymous said...

Yes, but it's on the moon.

ROSE said...

Actually, I know of exactly such a place & it's right here in West Virginia!!

There's a lovely house there & you can leave the doors wide open while you go gather bizzillions of murkels if you want.

It's over 150 years old, there's no indoor plumbing, the floors are uneven, the kitchen stove is circa 1940, the staircase is not wide person friendly ... no street lights, no telephone, no cable, no neighbors, no noise beyond what nature provides. Every once in a while, if you've been living right & you're really lucky, a lone whipporwill will join the crickets & frogs late at night.

I'd be willing to bet, though, that Doddridge County has the same problems Clay County does. Anybody live elsewhere & just have a camp in Clay?? It'd be interesting to see how it compares.

thank you Rose; didn't mean to interrupt your blog. but other methods don' seem to work. felt sorry for dog. gave it supper and breakfast of cheap dog food. I now have a welfare dog. it'd rather take a beating than leave the trough. have tried club. it'll lay right down. "BUT" I think it's getting the message finally.

ROSE said...

Ooops!! I meant to take the editorial liberties, then delete the original. Better late than never, I guess. LOL

We had a "welfare dog" show up at our house several years ago. About a year after he showed up, a distant neighbor kid came & asked if we'd seen her dog 'cause they were moving away. "Uh ... yeah. He usually shows up when he smells supper." LOL

We just named him Larry & called him our own (like we had a choice). Turned out his name was actually Duke. He was a classic example of "I don't care what you call me, just don't call me late for supper." LOL

Anonymous said...

LOLOL Larry!!! I forgot about Larry! Although I thought we always called him something else....>; D
