Caylee Anthony's mom was released from prison today.  What are your thoughts about this case? 

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- The mother of a missing central Florida toddler was released from jail on $500,000 bail Thursday and returned to her parents' home, where authorities will monitor her with an electronic ankle device.

Attorney Jose Baez shields Casey Anthony with an umbrella as she leaves a Florida jail.

Casey Anthony, 22, said nothing as she left the Orange County jail Thursday.

She faces charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation in the disappearance of 3-year-old Caylee, who has been missing since June.

Police say Casey Anthony lied to them and didn't report Caylee missing for more than a month. Caylee's grandmother reported her disappearance in July.

Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, escorted her out of the jail under a black umbrella amid a throng of reporters. He got into a scuffle with a journalist, pushing him out of the way.

Baez said Anthony whispered into his ear on her way out, "I'm innocent. I'm going to walk out of this place with my head held high."

Anthony, who had been jailed since mid-July, arrived several minutes later at her parents' home, where she was fitted for an electronic monitoring device that plugs into her home phone.

"Right now, the family is in there hugging and enjoying time as a family together," Baez said outside the home. "There's a lot of tears, a lot of emotion."

Anthony was also arraigned Thursday but did not attend the hearing. A written plea of not guilty was entered, according to court documents.

A pretrial hearing was set for November 5 and a trial date for November 17.

Anthony did not comment outside her home. Her attorney said the first thing she asked to do was take a shower.

"The most important thing is that Casey is home and her parents are very grateful," family spokesman Larry Garrison said Thursday. "Now, we are asking the public to please help us find Caylee. Now, more than ever, we are convinced that she was kidnapped."

A group from a California bail bonds company flew to Florida on Sunday to help Clearwater-based bondsman Albert Estes post the bond. They said they believe that Anthony might be more likely to talk about her daughter's disappearance if released from jail.

Anthony told investigators she left Caylee in an apartment with a nanny June 9. But investigators say the apartment had been empty for several months.

She told detectives she didn't immediately call authorities to report Caylee missing because she was conducting her own investigation, according to an affidavit.

But authorities say Anthony, a single mother, has shown no remorse or concern for Caylee under questioning. Cadaver-sniffing dogs detected a scent in her car, and hair, dirt and a strange stain were found in the trunk. Investigators are awaiting FBI tests on that evidence.

A neighbor told detectives that Anthony had asked to borrow a shovel some time in June. Her father said she had stolen two gas cans from the garage and refused to let him get something from the trunk of her car. A boyfriend said she never told him in June that Caylee was missing.

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla was also at the home and said a member of his team is staying with the family and sleeping there while they work on the case. There is a $225,000 reward for Caylee's return.

"I believe she made a mistake, handed her daughter off, and she is alive," said Padilla, who predicted that his team would find Caylee within a week.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said its investigation is continuing.

"The fact that Casey Anthony has bonded out of jail changes nothing in our investigation and our determination to resolve this case," the office said in a statement.

"The simple fact of the matter is, people charged with crimes bond out of detention facilities every day."

I don't know why this wasn't on any of the news stations tonight, OR ON THEIR WEBSITES, but here's the info...  People in Leavenworth County and surrounding areas, please keep an eye out for this man and his car!

"factbox" -->

Police are looking for a 90-year-old Shawnee man who has not returned home since leaving Sunday to run errands.

Warren Wagner left in his Silver 2007 Chevy Colbalt with Kansas plate number QME 063, police said. He was seen about 5 a.m. today in western Atchison County, where a deputy gave him directions home.

Police said he is familiar with Leavenworth and Lansing, Kan. They ask anyone with information on his whereabouts to call Shawnee police at 913-631-2150.

 

 

Ok.  What's the deal.  In today's mail, we received a check for $600.00 for the stimulus payment.  There are four of us in the household, and we had already received the stimulus check for the correct amount for four people.  Has anybody else had this happen to them?  I guess I'll start by making a call tomorrow to the IRS and see what is going on.  We could really use the extra money right now, but, it isn't ours to keep.  :( 

up pops something new.  I've heard of people suing because their drinks were too hot and they were burned...  Wait to see if a suit will be filed because a drink was too cold...

'Brain Freeze' Blamed In Car Crash

Drivers Says Cold Drink Caused Pain In Head

 

POSTED: 3:58 pm CDT June 11, 2008 UPDATED: 4:00 pm CDT June 11, 2008

 

SALINA, Kan. -- Salina police say a 66-year-old man whose car crashed into a house blames "brain freeze" from a cold drink for the mishap. Robert Schulz told police that the sudden, sharp pain in his head while driving Tuesday afternoon was followed by a "chest freeze." Schulz said he had just purchased the flavored, frozen drink from a Sonic restaurant and was drinking it while driving at 3:45 p.m. But he was hit by the painful sensation that often comes after a big swallow of cold liquid. Schulz said his car then went out of control, left the street and slammed into the front steps of a house. An ambulance took Schulz to Salina Regional Health Center, where he was treated and released.

If you are upset with the Mayor getting a pay raise after all the money he slashed recently, I would suggest you contact him directly and let him know of your disapproval and request that he turn the raise down.

I had to do it this way since the right click copy and paste didn't work for me...

Boy, am I ticked.  My sis got me a $50 gift card to Perfume Pizazz.  I never get out to shop, especially around Oak Park Mall anymore since dad has come to live with us.  Today, I took the boys to the mall to get a badly needed pair of shoes, and I remembered to bring my gift card.  Imagine my surprise when I go to Perfume Pizazz only to find them out of business.  Wouldn't it have been nice if they told my sister in December that they were going to be closing and I should use the gift card quickly or stop selling gift cards?  But noooooooooooooooooo!!!  She doesn't have much money anyway, and she gave me more than normal because I've helped her out this past year with dad and his medical problems.   I guess I'll just stick it in my drawer and let it be an expensive lesson.  I don't even want to tell her what happened, she'll feel bad and probably feel like she needs to get me something else...  I just WANT MY PERFUME!!!  

Are the message boards down AGAIN??????

The Phelps klan is going to picket the funeral of Marine Lance Cpl. Maria F. Lauterbach tomorrow in Ohio.  She is the Marine that was pregnant and brutally murdered by the child's father and he is on the run. 

This is ridiculous that they would picket her funeral!  Not surprising, but ridiculous.  I wish this was the straw that broke the camel's back and someone would do something to stop them permanently from ever picketing again or even WALKING or breathing again.  Guido, where ARE you when I need you! 

 

I don't know anybody involved in the following story, but I get a weird feeling about it.  If I were shot and ran away, I wouldn't go to simply hide in a parking lot and then return back to the car injured to drive myself to the hospital.  I would have run into the store, looked for help and have them call 911 if I did not have a cell phone.  Does anybody else think something just doesn't add up, like maybe a deal gone wrong?  Please give me your thoughts. 

Man Shot Numerous Times Outside McDonald's McDonald's or just enabling jstl so that we can just write ${bean.property} and jsp takes care of the new lines. -->
The family of a man shot in the face after leaving McDonald's on 75th Street near I-35 said he'll never be the same.

Overland Park police said the victim stopped at the McDonald's to use the bathroom around 7:20 Monday night.  But before he could get back inside his car, police said someone shot him.

"It can happen to anybody, any time, any where," the victim's step-father Chris Campbell said.

Overland Park police said the victim, headed to his car, was approached by a man asking for money and then a ride.

"At that point the victim sees the man is holding a gun, he takes off running," Jim Weaver with Overland Park Police said. "As he's running away he hears a popping noise and he can't hear out of one ear. He continues to run, he realized he's been hit a again."

Police said the victim ran down a driveway towards the JcPenney parking lot to get away, but the shooter kept firing.  Police said the victim was shot in his chin, cheek, arm and leg but was able to run back to his car and drive across the street to Shawnee Mission Medical Center.  He's since been moved.
 
"There is one bullet wound to his head which kind of took out his lower jaw which will require surgery," Campbell said.

"It's a pretty dangerous person," Weaver said. "Usually if the person runs away from you and you don't have any more to gain you didn't get the car, you didn't get the money, but this guy stood there and shot at this guy multiple times."

Police said the 33-year-old victim is expected to survive.  Police hope the restaurant's surveillance video will lead them to the shooter.  If you have information about this case call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

Do you believe this stupid, idiotic, selfish mom?  She needs to go away and get treatment for a VERY long time.

 

Lenexa Mom In Court For Fourth DUI Charge Natasha Rivera or just enabling jstl so that we can just write ${bean.property} and jsp takes care of the new lines. -->
A Johnson County woman in jail suspected of driving drunk with her child in the car was in court on Wednesday.  Prosecutors said the woman, 25-year-old Natasha Rivera, is a repeat DUI offender.

According to court documents, this is the fourth time the Lenexa mom was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.  The prosecutor's office said this is the second time she's had a child in the car while suspected of DUI.
   
According to the prosecutor's office, someone spotted Rivera on New Year's Eve driving improperly and called police.  Court documents show Rivera was over the blood alcohol limit when she was arrested in Olathe.  Court documents also show Rivera had a child in the vehicle at the time of her arrest.
   
Rivera's husband was in court, but declined to discuss her case.

Rivera was also arrested on October 14 for DUI and on December 19, she entered a plea agreement for her third DUI offense and was given probation.

Dr. John Schmitz, a psychiatrist at Two Rivers Hospital, said as the numbers of DUI offenses go up, the success in treatment goes down.

"In the case of the repeat offender stringent laws are the only thing that works," Dr. Schmitz said. "We've heard of the concept of tough love and the same concept applies in the treatment of people with chemical dependancies."

Rivera is being held on a $10,000 bond.  In court, she asked to have her bond reduced.  If Rivera is able to post bond, she's ordered to house arrest and not allowed to drive, be around firearms, drink alcohol or take drugs.  She's expected back in court on January 10.

On the Food Channel one weekend I saw something called falafel.  It caught my eye. I really want to try it.  I saw online a restaurant at 3rd & Main in River City Market.  Habashi House I think is they name of it.  Has anybody been there?  I want to go next week and try some of it out.  

Did you go to the Tri-Ko party today?  I did!

Christmas is one month away!  I can't believe it, why is it that every year seems to go by faster and faster? 

I just got done watching Kellie Pickler (American Idol) on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.  Is she really that dumb?   She was about as dumb as a box of rocks.  Please tell me that was an act?
