If you wasn't Rose and now Rose IS Rose can i cuss when Rose is not Rose.

ROSE said...

LOL Rose is *always* Rose & you can *never* cuss on Rose's blog. Period. Ever. Under any circumstances.

This is a family channel for relatively intelligent people. Relatively intelligent people can *always* find a way to cuss without actually cussing. Nobody wants to converse with anybody who isn't at least that marginally intelligent, anyway.

Happy New Year to those folks down in the balmy, breezy, plain 'ole hot, part of the world. i.e. the Cayman peeps! I bet some of them are feeling poorly today...if so, well, ha! ha! ha!
Happy New Year to you and Al as well, Rose. Hope you're staying warm today!

Didn't Brad McLaughlin have a brother and a sister? Didn't see them mentioned in his obit.

ROSE said...

Good first-Friday-of-2009 morning!

Hair of the dog? If that's anything like feeding the dog, I thought we settled that a long time ago. teeheehee

Brad does have siblings. It's an odd obituary.

Anonymous said...

Brad's mother had other children.

They weren't much of a brother and sister to him though.

Anonymous said...

Brad had two siblings, but the wife wouldn't let him have anything to do with any of his family. The wife and her daughter (she had the daughter to some other man) were both really, really horrible to his mom and his dad. The whole thing was so sad for his mom since his mom had helped Brad so much during his illness and before.

Brad actually didn't have any kids at all. He didn't even marry that woman until a few years ago. So Rose is right, the obituary is really odd and quite bizarre. Whoever wrote showed that they had NO class.

No-
YOU have no class.

She had the daughter with her first husband, who died much too young.

She has now lost another husband.

Get the whole story.

Better yet, leave mourning people alone.

The teenage son of actor John Travolta died suddenly on Friday during a family vacation in the Bahamas, according to the family's lawyer.

Jett Travolta, 16, suffered a seizure at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, attorney Michael Ossi said.

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000.

Anonymous said...

From TMZ -

UPDATE 5:15 PM ET -- Police just released more details. According to a report, Jett was last seen going into the bathroom at their private suite at the Old Bahama Bay Resort sometime yesterday. The body was discovered by the caretaker, Jeff Michael Kathrein (pictured bottom right with Travolta in 2006), at 10:00 AM today. The report says Jett suffered from seizures.

WTF is wrong with this picture? The kid went to the bathroom YESTERDAY & wasn't found until this morning??? By the caretaker???

It seems to me the guy who posted at 10:12 did have the story right since the 10:47 posting said the daughter belonged to someone else. So I agree.....the wife showed no class.

am curious, what group of Murphys is the Crystal Dawn Murphy thats in CRJ this morn belong to.

ROSE said...

John Travolta's son dying at 16 is no less tragic than any other kid dying. I can't begin to imagine how one copes with the loss of a child.

In all the footage they showed on various news shows last night, John was holding Jett's hand. How many teenage boys do you know who hold their dad's hand? The Travoltas have long maintained that Jett wasn't autistic (I don't know why - surely the Scientolgists have a "cure" for it), but Jett certainly wasn't "normal".

Kawasawki Syndrome? Anybody ever heard of that? Outside of Hollywood, Land of Perfect Yet Exotic People, I mean. I looked it up. It generally affects children under 5 & is more common in Asian Japan & Korea.

I don't know Brad's widow at all, but good grief, the rumors are flying. If any one of them is true, class isn't all that's lacking.

Crystal Dawn is listed as a Boardman. If you know she's a former Murphy, don't you already know what branch she belongs to? My brother was hung up on a Crystal Murphy for a brief time in high school ... she's the right age ... hmm. Looks like it might be a good thing he got over that little crush!

see in the Clayberry news that the state police arrested a man for contributing to child pornography. wonder how they knew that those pictures were on his computer. doesn't mention a warrant. did you know that we no longer have any constitutional rights or protection from the police force. Prez Bush did away with all that when he got the PATRIOT ACT passed.

back to the pornography, the police put this illegal pornography on the web then trace it to receivers and then the receiver is accused of contributing, although the police committed the origional crime. no warrant, no witness, just an invasion of the mans home, without prior judicial approval.

and we have young men around the world dying for this type of freedom.

Anonymous said...

Ditto on that LS

ROSE said...

You're talking about entrapment. Without it, child pornography would run rampant. Is that the preferred alternative? Child porn goes beyond illegal - it's sick & disgusting & what about the children? The police can plant temptation until pigs fly - it's the people who give in to that temptation who need to be strung up by their little, tiny, shriveled up cojones & publicly flogged.

I wonder then, which should take priority the peoples constituitional rights or to allow the police to entrap someone who might not have done anything had temptation not been placed in front of them.

Anonymous said...

I don't think young men are fighting for someone's right to view and download child porn. I don't see abuse (or viewing the abuse) of children as a constitutional right no matter HOW the porn gets placed in front of someone. Geez -- how can anyone defend a person who "gives in to the temptation" of viewing child porn? That is almost laughable.

Anonymous said...

i don't believe anyone said that that viewing child porn was a constitutional right. some people simply cannot understand english. they must twist things so that they themselves become the object of attention instead of the principle under discussion. bahaaaaaaaaa

ROSE said...

LOL That'd be the Constitutional right of human decency, LS. Surely to God you're joking. If our men & women are fighting so immoral, low life people can get their jollies from innocent, naked children, I say we bring those men & women home NOW. If that kind of "temptation" is beyond someone's power of resistance, Constitutional rights should be the least of their worries.

Anonymous said...

so now Rose to is focused on abuse of children instead of the rights of all people not to be tempted by our sevants so that they can put us in jail. and we must pay them for doing this. I was tempted but I did not fall so it was threatened by my employee that I might wind up in the ditch with my head blown off. so then if we are tempted and do not fall we are threatened by our employees, thats freedom. gang tactics.

Anonymous said...

Huh?

ROSE said...

LOL Yes, LS, I am more concerned about the abuse of children than I am the rights of adults. I won't even begin to consider apologizing for that.

You're absolutely right, though, that we shouldn't pay people to put offenders in jail. We should have a community stash of ammo. Nah, I'm not saying anybody's head should be blown off. A little lower down would deal with that temptation quite nicely, don'ja think?

and so now i'm being threatened by ms Rose, who apparently thinks if i was shot in the rump it would be adequate.

So we give the children condoms, put them on welfare so in time no one has to work. AH YES THE GREAT SOCIETY. now where have i heard that? Communism?

I for one don't agree to police tactics of entrapment but everyone that has a computer has the right to view whatever comes on the computer but also have the option of deleting the garbage. They also have the right and should have enough sense to delete things that are not appropriate also.

There are some sick people out there but they don't have to hord up the sickness on a computer, video tape, pictures or whatever. I believe in peoples rights but sending pictures of kids over the internet is not legal to do either by cops or anyone else. Thats like the pot calling the kettle black if that be the case at hand.

I don't think when the constitution was written computers were included. Freedom was a big part of it and still is and I think owning a computer is covered under FREEDOM. Whats on the computer sure can be freely acquired but leaving it there may be your trip free to jail.

ROSE said...

"everyone that has a computer has the right to view whatever comes on the computer ..."

LOL OMG! So ... everyone who has a yard has a right to grow pot in it & smoke it & sell it to children? Everyone who has a penis has a right to whip it out & wave it around in public? Everyone who has an ice pick has a right to stick it in your eye?

That's the most asinine thing ... well, not that I've ever heard, but it ranks right up there! You do NOT have a "right" to do something that's illegal, no matter what the forum. Police have every right to "entrap" you, the same way they have the right to set up speed traps to catch you speeding or road checks to get drunk drivers off the road.

Is it any wonder our world is in the shape it's in today?

Good lord.

ROSE said...

Oh ... LS? I didn't threaten you. I rarely threaten people (though it does happen). I merely voiced my opinion as to what *should* happen. If that applies to you & you take it as a threat ... frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a d*mn.

that's what I got thrown out of the judges chamber for. the judge said I threatened to kill him. I DIDN'T i merely asked if I'd be justified if I did. So many people change whats' said to something else. I also did a year in the federal penal system for this, supposedly, implied threat. Butner/NC, okla./twice , atlanta/ Ga./ Cumberland/Md,/ st. albans/WV, and SCRJ twice and three yrs probation just for an implied threat. what Idid was no crime at that time.

Once again things taken out of proportion. You have the right to view whatever you want to look at on (your) computer whether its legal or not but it still remains if you download the trash you will have the right to get a trip to jail when you are caught with it. Simple and true the computer belongs to you until it is misused. I suppose its a privilige to own and not a right at all.

FYI for anybody that thinks its their business. Brad McLauglin wrote his own obituary. For those of you that want to think bad of his widow, ask around about how his MOTHER and SISTER acted at his wedding. His CHRISTIAN MOTHER. If she is an example of CHRISTIAN, I hope I go straight to hell.

Anonymous said...

Brad's sister and mother didn't even go to his wedding, which was an elopement to some other state. Besides, it couldn't have been anything as bad as how his mom was treated at the hospice house when his wife and stepdaughter threw her out of the room for wanting to pray with him.

Anonymous said...

Sorry meant funeral not wedding

Anonymous said...

I heard it very straight that the wife and the stepdaughter even put their hands ON his mother and shoved her when she tried to pray with him. How can any person do that to a mother who is there to see her son? Even Hospice said Brad wanted to see his mom and brother and the wife and step daughter kept them out. That wife and daugther of hers are just evil people. Poor Brad. He must have so miserable living with those two people. Thankfully, God has him now and he is away from them.

Brad's mom, brother, nor sister did not even go to the funeral because they wanted no part of that woman he married after how she treated his mother. So someone clearly has wrong information.

Big Odor school is out of commission for today. Too much water at the bad lands of Clayberry?

The Land company that bought all that land will be an expermental area for planting trashy pine trees because that is all they grow down south. They will come in clear cut thousands of acres of hardwoods, plant the pines and in twenty or so years they will have a cutable crop of timber. Thats what they bought it for and how it will be used. What else can you use land that has been striped for and looks like a bomb was dropped on it. County will be able to get taxes from it though so thats a good thing. It has never happened before.

Anonymous said...

sorry but I don't agree. the timber land was bought by a branch of Duke university/NC, not a timber company. so it is my belief that it will be used for educational purposes.

recently I seen where the butternut walnut tree was on the endangered species list.. on checking a little farther I found that the tree that I have always thought was a butternut, may not be.

If the ark had not sonk on Mt. ararrat there might not have been any rats there. Don't know why but there seems to be more rats in high places than in lower ones.

Anonymous said...

Well LS you can disagree all you want to but since the guys who done the land search in Clay and Nicholas counties told me what they are intending on doing I just stated the fact. In the southern part of the US eastern coast there is some type beatle killing Pine species and they have to get north to produce the pines needed and away from this pest.

Educational purposes it may be used for but this has been in the works for the past two years that I know about. And they are still looking for land to buy in larger then 100 acre parcels. Also another reason for buying land here is the cost $300.00 per acre versus $10,000 to $18,000.00 per acre. Makes sense to me.
