Partridge in a "pair" tree; "Legal" Baby; Dancing with the Stars; Who let the "dogg" out?; TPR; Parent Trap; Check you for Ticks

Gretchen Bonaduce is finally leaving husband of 16 years, Danny. Remember him? Now a radio personality that used to be the little red headed, tubby, middle child on the Partridge Family. He is not that kid anymore. Nowadays he looks like the guy that played Uncle Martin on My Favorite Martian and Mr. Hand on Fast times at Ridgemont High, Ray Walston.

Danny Mr.Hand

Ray as Mad Jack in "Paint Your Wagon."

I chose this pic for the red hair. lol. Am I the only one who sees the resemblence? Anyway, The Partridge isn't a "pair" anymore.

Julie Bowen who plays Denise Bauer on Boston Legal gave birth to a baby boy earlier this month. Her water broke while shooting an upcoming episode. I wonder if they'll leave that in? Cool way to write in her giving birth to the baby that is Brad's on the show.......

I only got to see 3 couples dance last night on Dancing with the stars. Apparently, there was severe weather north of Pittsburgh in Butler County and Mercer. So, the news kept breaking in and showing updates and zooming in on this little town and that little town on the map and giving updates and warnings to take shelter in a safe place. Blah Blah Blah. I was ticked! One at the top of the show followed by the continuous ticker at the bottom of the screen would have been plenty. But No. The freakin' weather wasn't affecting me. I didn't need 15 minutes of the map being zoomed in on every little freakin' town every half hour to tell me how windy it was in New Bethlehem or Oil City or Franklin! Neither did those people. After the initial warning, those people affected probably weren't watching the TV anymore!

Cordazar C. Broadus, Jr., aka Snoop Dogg, pleaded "no contest" to felony gun and drug charges to avoid prison. He got 800 hours of community service and 5 years probation! (????!!) The judge placed "conditions" on the probation.1) that only 400 hours of community service can be "charged off" on his work with the youth football league he started. 2) he could not have any gang members in his entourage. 3) he must provide a medical permit for his use of marijuana for migrains. My bet is that there is no medical permit and he will go to his or a doc and say hey, for a hefty sum, will you issue this medical permit to keep outta jail and by the way, can you back date it, like, say, a year? Felony gun charge. That means he had a gun ILLEGALLY. Not his. Not registered. Get it? What the hell do YOU think he needed it for? Drug Charge. possession minimum. Show us your medical permit and you can go, Mr. Dogg. PA-LEEZ............If it were you or me? Gone. Throw away the key 5-10 per charge....................

Does this make sense to you? A foster child has been in foster care for over 2 years. She is now 3+ years old. The foster parents want to adopt this child and have gone through a very long and drawn out process. The Termination of Parental Rights hearing was today. The birth mother does not show up for this hearing because she is in jail. For what, you ask? Flight Risk for a pending felony child abuse charge. No, not for the child I am speaking about, but a baby she had 6 mos. ago and beat, took him to the hospital and the docs called CYF on her sorry crack ho ass! She doesn't show up for the hearing after being released on her own recognisense at the arraignment. So, back to the 3 year old. Since she doesn't show up for court, they move for a continuance. The Abuse on the second baby is not allowed in court. Why Not? Right. You would think it would be very pertinent to the outcome. But since the authorities did not take the second baby upon it's birth and then it ended up "broken", they can't admit any of that into the 3 year old's case because it was the case worker's fault that didn't want to deal with it! ____________________________

And I heard of a story where a couple is going through a divorce. Through the divorce proceedings, the history of the wife's infidelity comes out. The husband puts a time line together and decides to have a paternity test done on "his" son. You guessed it! He is NOT the father. The woman then names the biological father and gives him custody of the boy. The man she divorced has to pay the biological father child support. Do you b'lieve 'at? The husband is paying child support for the wife's love child with another man!! Unbelievable! I love our judicial system! What are these judges thinking?

well, if you're a country music star, you know the song by Brad Paisley "I Want to Check You for Ticks". Well, it came true today at work. One of the guys that I work with (also my boss' son) went hunting on Saturday. Today at work he pulled something out of his hair he swore was a tick. I don't know for sure if it was or not, but he was convinced he was going to get Lyme's disease. His mom checked his head. My other boss checked his head. With a magnifying glass even. I checked his head. I didn't see anything that would have resemble where a tick's head would still be stuck in his scalp. I told him if he wanted to be sure, to go up to the Medi Help center and have them check. He didn't go. I think his mom was finally able to convince him he wouldn't get Lyme's Disease. But the whole time the song was runnin' through my head and I chuckled quite a bit to myself. I told him he better go home and he and his girlfriend better check each other for ticks..........
