Wow Savannah, that is just ridiculous. And a very sad comment on our society.

I'm not sure if this is where this should go or not.........But I have a question/comment about the news in general, so I'll put it here. I can't believe what is considered "News" now! I was looking through general headlines last night - not in an entertainment or social section, just general headlines. And one of the headlining "News" stories was about Sarah Palin's daughter breaking up with her boyfriend. And it was listed in higher ranking than the school shootings in Germany and the church shooting in Illinois. Good grief. Since when did teen gossip become newsworthy??

That's what I'd like to know!!! It's really bad on Yahoo. Its nothing but a bunch of gossip. I'm one of those people who could care less what anybody wore last night, how beautiful it was or how ugly it was. It's fine if you want to know about those things, just don't call it news!

Well, I have some very sad news to report regarding an 8 year old girl who lived in northern CA, about 2 1/2 hours from where I live.

She went missing on 3/27 and her body has now been found.
Here is video of her:

That is so awesome...gives me goosebumps! There was a segment on the news recently on another SUV burning and a bunch of good samaritans jumping in, and they saved three children inside...it was on the Today show just a few days ago. When asked if he thought twice about helping, one of the rescuers said he's the father of three you children himself, he just knew he need to get them out. He said you just go into a different 'mode' altogether.

Now this is some feel good news! A woman in our area gave all of her lotto winnings to her church!
