Gipper Girl Rocks

Same here! Why do people drink and drive???? I dont get it. Plan ahead a little or call a cab or a friend. So sad.

I wish I wasnt so far away and could be there to honor such a good man. We will miss him. Prayers for the Family.

I disagree. The teachers union is one of the most leftist, liberal organizations in this country. Teachers make up the union...the union is very liberal. Do the math.

99% of the time, those are the SAME people.

Thinking about Johnny and the Family this morning. Praying for peace and God's comfort. Someone described Johnny earlier as a true gentleman. He was so many good things but I would definitely describe him as a true gentleman- most of all.

I see your point on the age thing and that makes sense.

He probably didnt even really do anything wrong. Kids! Pfft.

Unless you were in the room with he and his accuser(s) at the time(s) they say abuse occured, how can you be so confident this guy isnt just another sicko? Character is what you do in the dark. Nobody knows that except God or ,in this case, a victim.Honey, I went to school(private school, for what its worth) with a fantastic guy who was nothing but a meek, mild mannered guy. He was a star football player and was one of those people that everybody just really liked. He wasnt the "jock" or the best looking guy but he was so genuine. I swear to you I would have trusted anything he said after know

True, Postman. Thank God I have experienced all different types of love, real love, and there is nothing better in life. Our English language limits us so much by really only giving us one word for it-"LOVE". In Hebrew, Greek and many other languages, love is described by MANY different words which really desribe what sort of "love" One is talking about. I know you have experienced it, too, PM. We are 2 very lucky and very blessed human beings. Some people never find the real thing.

ABSOLUTELY. I thought the same thing for so many years when I lived in Paulding. MacFarlanes WAS that place but unfortunately they couldnt last although I KNOW they tried. It's a shame. I LOVE LOVE LOVE non-chain, locally owned restaurants that find just the right balance to please lots of customers and thrive. Who would EVER think a massive, impersonal chain is better? Bah...not me. Mmmmmm, yep! NOTHING beats looking forward to a good, cold beer all day and finally getting to relax and enjoy it...or 3.

LP, I have always enjoyed watching yours and JJ's friendship. I still have some great pictures of you 2 dancing together a few different times and places. What a tresaure to have such a wonderful and true friend like both of you are to each other.

I am SO sorry. I have tears in my eyes after reading this! I moved away and am out of the loop but I thought he was doing better. JJ is one classy man- full of life and personality. I will be praying for JJ and the whole family.

Yes you can. Public record is public.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah...thats prob me. Im 5 hours away. Imagine my blowing hot air if I were in Paulding.

HOLY MOLY!!!! OMG!!! Im glad he was okay. Since you were in DC, you probably should have pulled a Ronald Reagan and told the Doctors that you "hope they are Republicans!". REALLY good pics and looks like a great trip. I DO remember Washingtons house now that you said it. AMAZING place, DC...amazing.

well................................................I'm not one to wave a flag........................................................................................but...................................................yes we do. We do. We so do. Did I mention that we do?

Yes. Bad, right...bad and RIGHT and funny....is there really anything else, I ask you???!!!

well, true...true, Momof3. She left early to get her belly piecred. I said I didnt want her to but you KNOW...KIDS WILL BE KIDS! If there are any predators there, I'm gonna tell her AGAIN to report htem within 24 hours...or 12 hours...or 2 days....or maybe its a full week with no holidays? IDK, but she had better speak up asap, I'll tell ya that. If she waits, she is up to no good. Kids! I just texted her on her phone thats way nicer than mine to do a few shots for you...and not to talk to strangers...or sumthin like that...I'm busy, I cant really remember.

I love em anyway! Your son is a CUTIE!!! Was that Gen. Lee's Home in Arlington? GREAT pics. I know diddly squat about editing pics. Looks like you had a wonderful trip of a lifetime.

Gah...I "know nothing" though, Momof3 . I guess I should let Mimi run free and let her "experience" the "real world' so that "nobodies" can discuss her on the interweb. FANTASTIC parenting. If she turned 16 and THEN claimed abuse, its too damned late, you know? I mean, kids should KNOW to get their sexual abuse cases heard in a REASONABLE timeframe. Momof3, we need to start a support group.........................for THINKING and AWARE Parents(who keep up and watch the occasional Dateline )...Geeze. I gotta run...Mimi is getting ready to hit the club tonight. I dont want her to go but

I, personally, havent accused him of anything at all. Note that, please. I am bringing up the fact that we should listen to children no matter what. NEVER should a child be pushed aside b/c an adult "thinks" they are lying or fabricating the truth. Many victims come out years and years later. That doesnt mean it didnt happen. Since you are defending him but will not or do not feel free to share the facts you know, you have to admit that to the rest of us who only read this story, it looks as if you are protecting him before there is any real evidence to say either way. That doesnt make most

What does her age have to do with it? She is a child. She is claiming abuse. I dont get it. Exactly.

Im not sure why. This is not personal toward you, Lucky64, but I just cant help but see a whole lot of making excuses for this guy and others like him. I KNOW kids can be very wreckless in accusing people but all of these excuses sound exactly like the ones people have been using for years...and years and years. Remember when adults brushed off what kids said about being abused decades ago? I dont believe in doing that EVER. I think you take names and ask questions later...after the child is in a safe place away from their accused abuser. I dont know why tests couldnt be done. It doesnt

Why can they not be done?

i'm not accusing him and I dont know what happened. However, a child is GOING to change their story somewhat b/c they are children and children want to please adults or say what they think they should. Who would EVER not take what a child says seriously about abuse? You remove the child from the situation and THEN figure out what the truth is. You dont say "nah, he wouldnt possibly do that" and leave the child in the same situation. I KNOW some people DO falsely accuse and that is very harmful and a horrible thing to do. But, it really irks me that you are obviously calling the child a liar
