Initially they had said one of the three brothers were with them at all times. But, today they said only the brother that has been arrested for the 3 rape and 4 kidnapping charges lived in that home. They said the girls were always held in different rooms or in the basement but never together. They said it was possible for the brothers to visit yet not know the girls were there. The other two brothers were being held on charges that have nothing to do with the kidnappings. There is yet a LOT of information and explanations that will come out with a lot of it being contradictory.

YES.....BUT, Elizabeth Smart and even Jaycee Dugar are the exception. Even after 18 years in captivity Jaycee has done remarkably well. That does NOT mean she came away from the ordeal unscathed. Not saying these three women will not have a strong support system because I believe they will. However, Elizabeth and Jaycee had extremely strong family support systems to help integrate them back into a "normal" life. And, they both had extensive counseling. No one can walk away from that situation and be totally well adjusted as they were when the nightmare began. Another issue that these

Additional information was on tonight's AC360 as to why the girls/ladies did not try to escape before now. The officials said a lot of the time they were bound with chains and gagged. Ariel Castro would play mind games with them and tell them he was leaving the house. But, he would be outside and when one of them would try to open the door he would beat her unmercifully. They also reported there were other pregnancies but the girls/ladies were beat in the stomach by the brothers until they would have a miscarriage. I saw an interview with a little girl who appeared to be approx 10 yrs old.

One thing that was emphasized last night on AC360 was there were THREE men in the home and therefore the girls/ladies were NEVER left alone. One or the other of the men were always with them. Yesterday the middle brother who was the "keeper" had gone down the street to McDonald's when Amanda Berry tried to get out the door and screamed to Charles Ramsey for help. We can all say we would never allow ourselves to be held captive for 10 years without doing this or that. And we would do what we had to to get away. BUT....none of us know the mental and emotional anguish they suffered and their

I watched coverage on Nightline and on Anderson Cooper360 last night. They had psycharists, FBI profilers and John Walsh answering this question. Just as in the Jaycee Dugar case the captor gains the trust of the captive or in many cases threatens to harm or kill their family if they try to escape. I cannot go into all the reasons they gave but it made sense. The brothers were family friends of the Hispanic girls' "Gina" family. They had BBQ's together and the one arrested had made a financial contribution to the fund to find her, etc. They both lived in the same close knit Hispanic commun

You are right.....until you hear the roar of the engines and have tar grit on your face you can never imagine. We were at Talladega and had breakfast in the hospitality suite with Mark Martin. He was absolutely the nicest man I have ever met. He had just announced he was leaving the Valvoine sponsorship and going with Viagra. He answered every question asked and looked each person in the eye, signing autographs, taking pics with his fans, etc. Across the way was quite the opposite scene: Jeff Gordon was surrounded by his body guards and he would not get anywhere near his fans. I disliked

Did you stay for the duration of the day/evening?? If so the good thing is many fans had already left so it shouldn't have been so difficult getting out. Of course the France Family knew what they were doing when they built that track in the middle of a corn field - 6 lanes in and 6 lanes out. DH used to hunt quail on that land - his best friends GF owned that property. WOW what a finish after a LONG day at the track. We are planning on going to the October race.

The final lap of Regan Smith's win today at 'Dega. THE BIG ONE behind the leaders..... http://the5thturn.com/highlights-from-the-last-lap-of-the-aarons-312-at-talladega-superspeedway/

TYPICAL Talladega Finish - Wrecked cars ALL over the track on the last lap. Trying to determine who won!?!?!?!? WOW!!
-
They are about to finish the Nationwide race. Green, White, Checker Finish although the drivers are reporting debris on the track. On ESPN2. Maybe they will get the Sprint Cup in tomorrow after all???
-
Don't bother driving over on Sunday.....you will be making a wasted trip only to return on Tuesday. The officials at 'Dega are already working out the logistics to run the Nationwide race on Monday and the Sprint Cup race on Tuesday. IF you are not able to go back on Tuesday I will be MORE than happy to take your tickets off your hands rather than they be wasted. There is NO place like Talladega and THE track to be for your first experience. I hope you get to experience it.

You have to KNOW Ryan is NOT dead. They aren't gonna kill off the lead character in the first season. That would like letting Jack Bauer get killed!?!?!?!?

That is what I told her "A Bobby/Pam do over????"

I am with all of y'all.......I SURE DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!! A friend on FB is projecting Ryan is dreaming. Gonna be a LONG wait until it comes back on!

I Made A Supper That Slapped MY Face............

Baked chicken, green beans, mashed taters, baked squash & onions, cream corn and cornbread here. DH baked a cake last night that was AMAZING. Started out as an Upside Down Pineapple mix he got at the store not knowing (after ALL these years) that I don't care for USDPC. So....there was a recipe on the side of the box that he tried and made his own. The cake had the crushed pineapple, fresh strawberries, vanilla pudding and cool whip on it. It was DELISH last night but was even better tonight after everything sat and all the flavors blended. YUMMMM. Perfect ending to a perfect dinner. -

I am placing another order for these shirts next week. I've already gotten several pre-orders for them in XXXL. Please let me know if you want to be added to the list. All other sizes are still available but I don't expect them to be after the Downtown Dallas Yard Sale on May 4th. The customers who have gotten this shirt LOVE it.

The problem with Sam's is they have limited selection. Or at least they didn't have the tire needed for our truck which is a basic truck tire. We bought a set of used tires in Douglasville for $125 mounted & balanced. They have been on about 6 months or so. Quotes from other places were in the $600+ range. We figured even if we had to replace them every 3 months we would still save money plus wouldn't have to pay it all out at one time. But, the friend who recommended them has used them for years. Although I was a bit leery about getting used tires so far we have been very pleased.

Maggiano's?? YUMMMMMMM!!! Love that place. All of the food is really good and they have a salad that is the BEST. When I meet my former co-workers for lunch we always meet at OG for the convenience. They have some reasonable lunch deals and specials that are pretty good. And, of course their salad is always good. But, I wouldn't go for dinner and pay their prices for what you get. We've never been to the Olive Tree but one reason is DS and friends went for their FIRST and LAST time all in one about a year ago. None of them liked it at all. But, I have wanted to try their greek salad?

I didn't know either until someone above said "Been There, Done That". With having a career in Social Work I never could watch it either without crying.

Where is the location the OP was asking about? I don't remember a Martino's since we've lived here and I can't place where a Kroger is across from n Auto Zone on 92?

I still have a limited availability of all sizes except XXXL. They are selling fast!!
