Julie...I agree. There's a night spot in TR that I had to quit going to, because as the night gets…Read More later, the DJ keeps cranking up the volume. I can't imagine the hearing damage those poor waitresses and bartenders, who have to be there all evening, are going to suffer in later years. It wouldn't surprise me if those young workers someday sue for recourse, but that won't bring their lost hearing back.

lowering the volume… that would be the greatest gift since sliced bread.

sliced bread does nothing but hasten spoilage. An unsliced loaf lasts for more than a week if you…Read More cut off each slice as you need it.....
Just another senseless cliche that we smugly ape.

Of course we are. Americans have this disgusting dog fetish. They kiss and sleep with their filthy…Read More beasts and consider them their children. I see them now in the grocery stores. Repulsive, smelly, panting, farting, yapping, always fighting, and humping anything they see.....oh, and their dogs are also a problem.

This is the 2nd story I have read on Patch today and it also just doesn't add up. I think Patch may…Read More be the new Enquirer trash tabloid. At any rate, check the facts.....You decide!

The jail guard should be kicking himself in the butt, and hard. Degorski's crime does not make what…Read More the guard did any less or more wrong or right. Thank the jail guard for Degorski's award.

Ursula, I grew up on a pig farm. Two of my uncles have dairy farms. The time change doesn't mean…Read More anything. The routine doesn't change just because someone decides it's 7:00 instead of 6:00. Count yourself blessed that you can complain about something so trivial.

Stu Pidasso, I have never heard of a child being bullied because they are abused at home. Statistics…Read More have shown the opposite to be the factor. I guess it's possible but it's hard to imagine a parent being the cause of their child's bullying unless there is abuse where humiliation is the weapon, like a parent not feeding or bathing their child knowing the classmates will taunt them because they smell or steal food.

A mean glare is not bullying. An unkind word here or there is not bullying. Fighting bullying is…Read More today's thought control of a progressive tyrannical government in motion. If little Johnny sees someone wearing a blue coat little Johnny can freely express his distaste of blue coats. He might even glare at a person wearing a blue coat. No doubt this while stop bullying thing is really laughable at this point.
KD Welborn March 10, 2014 at 12:46 am
Both my boys were bullied. I even home schooled hoping it would help but with social media it still…Read More doesnt stop. One son even received death threats. They hated school. One dropped out and got his GED just so he wouldnt have to put up with it. Schools still dont seem to know how to handle it. They even tell the students not to go to restroom alone or be anywhere like stairwells alone. Why should they feel unprotected.

tamarya March 9, 2014 at 10:31 am
Thats why i try to just ignore any news involving parents and their kids liz. Because it seems that…Read More the ones that take the time to take care of their children but make an oops somewhere gets punished more than ones that should, because all that happens are stricter laws are made involving children that it almost makes people not one to have kids. Maybe they need to focus on this kind of stuff through child protective services instead of someone that spanked their kid or someone that dont clean their home and maybe kids would be protected better. We have laws in place use them wisely instead of stupidly.

It seems strange that the neighbor who cut her grass did not suspect that something was amiss. Was…Read More he paid for years ahead of time or was he doing this just out of the goodness of his heart? As others have mentioned, how was her mail picked up? True, she may have had a mail slot that was built into the front of her house and perhaps never had anything ever delivered. Another possibility may be a post office box that she rented but after a while it would seem that even the "junk mail" would build up even in that case. One last possibility may be that the "grass cutter" periodically retrieved the mail: he might even could have had a key to her place but never went into the garage. A bit mysterious nevertheless.

I used to have a sailboat, we went whale watching for free! Nothing like being up close to a Blue…Read More Whale. Wow!!! Scared the crap out of me. That thing was HUGE!!! Sea World does not offer whale watching and the last I've been to Sea World, no whales there. Sea World's bottom line is making money. They are not a marine sanctuary, nor an institute...well...on paper they say they have an institute...maybe for making money. Sea World is a theme park. Nothing more. Shamu is on display for one purpose and that's for our entertainment. If you want to know more about the wild and wooly Pacific Ocean, go to Scripps Aquarium or the Marine Institute at Dana Point. It's cheaper and much more educational. Make a day trip there if you live in the Inland Empire. If you ride motorcycles, let me know and I'll ride with you. Be careful when you go, you'll turn into a tree hugger like me.

I've seen more people lay waste to alcohol and deaths from alcohol than I've ever heard any equal…Read More percentage of people that have used MJ in their lives! I'm sure people have had incident with MJ as well as people that can't handle poison ivy. If it's a matter of people being screened by observation prior to detemination of their physical or mental action to the exposure to MJ. This would be accomplished by warning labels on Pharmaceuticals. The question is about the "Media having a need to report such actions of advertisement in either a positive or negative way! Is there a story here? Is of any concern to the governing of Government? Does this bring as much harm as weed killers and bug killers to the human race? Did previous cultures of this continent and others use this as a medicine before the Alcohol and Religious groups decide to lobby government to illegalize it so they could reap the moneys instead! If your driving a car around that doesn't have the most recent safety devices. You put yourself at risk for a deadly accident! Never mind what other people are doing, be alert and watch for others on the roadway. They teach this in Drivers Education!

The Patch covers many cities. We have many local newspapers that cover articles around the country.…Read More This isn't foreign. This goes to prove most people don't think out of the box. They only think local meanwhile the things that happen usually affect people nation wide. Can we stop thinking small people?

@Stumpgrinder: Your comment here is irrelevant and seemingly nothing more than yet another negative…Read More post about the Patch. The last 10 Patch articles you've commented on are all negative. Resolve your issues with the Patch (ex-employee?), and stop spamming the comments section with your grudge.
C Sullivan March 8, 2014 at 11:15 am
@Stumpgrinder: If you do not like Patch, why do you subscribe to it? Just curious.
Elma Granata March 8, 2014 at 12:47 pm
This just does not make sense. A woman who has a mortgage, a job & neighbors is not seen or…Read More heard of for over 5 years. What about her property taxes, income taxes? What about the IRS or State of MI? Didn't they become suspicious when she did not file tax returns? I could understand if someone lived in an isolated home in the country but it is amazing that this can happen to someone who lives in urban America.

I think this woman was under a lot of stress and was in a very abusive relationship with her…Read More husband. No one knows what she has endured prior to this happening. No one knows her full mental out look and how much abuse she has endured her entire married life. The monster, her husband, drove her to this. Let's see what type of monster, he really is. Where is that information, I need it before I can judge her.
John Strother March 9, 2014 at 11:53 am
well dang OLDFED, you seem like the husband may had been. Really you got your head shoved so far up…Read More your back side. The love between these too, the husband and wife sure wasn't there. She felts he raped her while she was carrying another child he had fathered. Did he help with the children or force her to cope alone with them? Did she give up a career to be married and was reduced to only being a baby maker? Yet you have judged her as being guilty when you have no clue to how she been degraded. True, she'll be judged for trying to kill her kids, However she may had felt that they were dead than to live with their father ever again. No one knows. Yet you have judged and condemned her. Are there any women in your life? If not, I think I can see the reasons why.
oldfed March 9, 2014 at 01:30 pm
Mr. Strother: Guess you've already judged this issue, and me. Just who exactly are you to attack me?…Read More Try putting down your comic books and go to Wikipedia for the Latin definition of the term "ad hominem". I merely stated the legal (IMO) issues here. You,and others seem sooo infaturated w/this unfortunate woman that you're angry @ other posters. Why, what's YOUR problem?.......

Kids do stupid and mean spirited things all the time and they're regularly chastised for it.…Read More "Why are you picking on me?" is always their complaint.
"Because..." is always the correct answer.
Then, there is the problem that young men goad each other into really stupid stuff. About the only cure for them is growing up. In the meantime, regularly burn their butts.
