Re: SA Wednesday
Hopefully she will leave you alone today! Have you been waking up at that time on purpose or no? :-p

Oh gosh no! I seem to do this a few times a year. Last time I did this, I believe it was 6:14 am for a few days. What surprises me most was that it was past midnight when I went to sleep, which usually makes it even harder for me to just get up.
I hate that! But sometimes when I get less sleep than I usually do, I am actually able to get up easily and have weird amounts of energy. But if that goes on for more than one day, I am just dead tired!

Brad and I got into an argument this morning about the dog. He took her outside, she got scared, and they came right back in. She didn't do her business or anything. I told him that he should have stayed outside until she did something and he snapped back. We haven't texted or anything today. Ehhh.
I have a different opinion than most when it comes to the Casey Anthony case (big shocker there, hu?!). I think my confusion is why people feel so certain that she did it. There was absolutely no evidence that proved she did it - just evidence that she might have been involved. I don't understand the certainty that people feel. I think that parents are more involved than people think and I do believe that Casey was involved somehow - whether covering it up or the actual event.
Also, justice was served here. This is how our justice system works. She got a fair and timely trial. The jury heard all the evidence and followed the instructions/laws they were given. Just because we don't agree with the verdict doesn't mean that justice wasn't served.
Ok, flame away!
I actually agree with you.
Sorry to hear about your fight with Brad. Maybe everything will be back to normal when he gets off work.
That's how H feels. I don't really have a strong opinion one way or another.
I think that justice wasn't served for Caylee. That's what I've always said. And it's still not served.
However, I think that through the negligance on behalf of Casey Anthony, Caylee died. Whether or not she did it with her own hand or through her lack of attention to her own child, that's what caused it. And by lying to the police so many times, that does nothing for her case in my mine, IMHO. Yes, she was given the rights this country affords her, however, I still believe that had the prosection done a better job, the outcome would be different.

I agree.
I don't know. I get that the legal system worked properly and what's done is done...but either Casey or her parents (or maybe all 3 of them) did this. If it was a simple tragic accident then they could have easily reported it and been just fine.
I just don't understand why law enforcement was unable to get enough answers and/or evidence in their investigation to begin with.
I'm also curious (please pardon my stupidity if this is a dumb question) ... since her killer hasn't "technically" been caught... does this case remain open or is it over?
I mean obviously all of the evidence is on the table already, but it seems like they should keep looking for answers. Even if its just a cold case.
I have prayers, feelings, and strong opinions for them too...and not just for children but for any crime that goes unpunished (or wrongly punished). It makes me sad.
However, I can't pray for someone I don't know about... and unless the media brings them to my attention or I just make a hobby of sifting through court records then there is no way for me to do so.
I get that. I do. I just feel people are acting like this is the most tragic thing to ever happen. And it happens every day. Maybe I'm desensatisized to it.
This is exactly my point as well in the previous page.

Summer, you're right and I typically take your point of view on this. I'm not really sure why Caylee is anymore "special" than any other child out there. I guess because it has been so highly publicized. Doesn't make it right, it just is.
Guess so.
Believe me when I say that these strong feelings and emotions are not reserved for just one child. I obviously feel heart broken about any child/person that is murdered and justice is never served. It is something that I am very passionate about and it upsets me greatly when I hear about them. As Tiffany said, I don't always hear about them though.
For example, there was a little boy in Cedar Springs that died in a hot car yesterday. That outrages me. He went for 2 hours unattended and managed to lock himself in a diabled vehicle and died.
I think that it would be heartless to say that people don't care/don't notice at all about other murders and wrong-doings of children, because they are. I do care. I care a lot. As I said previously, this case just caught a lot more media attention than others. It doesn't make it any more/less important than others, it just makes it more public.

I'm not saying people don't care. I think a lot of you are missing my point.
My point is, I just don't understand why everyone reacted the way they did I suppose. And like I said previously, maybe it's because I'm desensitized to it and my automatic first thought is, "Okay, this happens every day, it's sad, and?"
If every case like this was publicized, I guarantee you there wouldn't be blogs about it, 3500 posts on facebook, and people outraged about them all. You wouldn't have the energy because that's all you'd ever be doing. It's not realistic to expect that. That's not what I was trying to say.
We can agree to disagree on this one.
Yay! Good luck Sarah and keep us posted.

When you first changed your siggy pic, I thought it was because you were upset that she was found not guilty. I even skimmed over this so fast I thought you said that you left your porch light on. But, you put up the Dexter pic, because you thought it was funny? I think no matter what side of the 'debate' you are on, I don't think there's anything about the situation that's funny. IMHO.
I'm totally okay with agreeing to disagree. I know that not everyone believes what I do, and that's okay.
Renee, I'm not avoiding you. I'm posting and running because I am slammed!

I've seen the show. I still don't see the humor.
Well agree to disagree. But I'm not the only one who found it funny, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Moral of this conversation: opinions are like azzholes. We all have one.

Just do it!
Well that's an abrasive analogy.
I suppose some people could take it like that.
