Another new word….murderlize

Love it..I’m really into this creation of new words…you may have heard of Webster’s Dictionary…Sweazy’s is up and coming!

So my new word (the old word was pulshing) is Murderlize. Basically, the is when you want to more than murder someone. You not only want to murder them, but you want to REALLY murder them. Use your imagination.

Got this post is sick. But, I’m am at the point in my life (or week) that I just really want to hurt someone.

I would like everyone to know that I am laughing out loud right now at this word…murderlize…hilarious!

‘Mommy and daddy are angels’
Kin rally around twins orphaned by plane crash

Ten days have passed since Bob and Donna Gregory kissed their 4-year-old twins goodbye and boarded a small plane that was supposed to fly them from Long Island to an appointment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Federal investigators think it may take nine months to explain why this mission of mercy ended in a horrific ball of fire at the edge of a supermarket parking lot in Easton.

Harry Gregory knows it will take much longer than that before Amanda and Bobby Jr. Gregory, his little grandniece and nephew, are able to process the answer to a question they wake up asking:

“When are Mommy and Daddy coming home?”

“It’s tough right now,” Harry Gregory said in a voice filled with heartache. “Our biggest concern has been trying to figure out how Bobby Jr. and Amanda are going to react as time passes.

“When they ask about Mommy and Daddy each morning,” Harry explained, “we say that their Mommy and Daddy are angels. We try, as best we can, to let them know that even though they may not be able to see Mommy and Daddy right now, they are right here and always with them.”

Harry Gregory watched his nephew and godson, Bob Sr., battle leukemia for eight years. In the middle of that struggle, he saw life bless Bobby and his wife, Donna. Their dream of having a family was doubly fulfilled with the births of twins Bobby Jr. and Amanda.

Over these past 10 days, Harry said a loving swarm of grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins has found some respite from their own grief and bewilderment by enfolding an orphaned brother and sister. “The children are not just the center of attention,” Harry said, “right now, they are our heart and soul.”

Yet, he added that he’s in no rush to explain to them something he will never completely be able to fathom. “No,” Harry sighed, “it’s not time to tell Bobby and Amanda why they can’t see their parents. ‘They’re angels,’ we say. ‘It’s hard to see angels, but they’re always here, always right beside you, watching over you every minute. Mommy and Daddy see you all the time.’

“They’re only 4,” Harry said, pain choking off his voice for a moment. “No, they don’t really understand. Still, in their eyes sometimes, you can see they know something isn’t right.”

Of all the mercy flights Bob Gregory made to Boston, his uncle finds himself wondering why Donna chose to join her husband on that fateful one. “Usually, when it was just a back-and-forth visit, like that one was going to be, Donna stayed home with the kids.”

Even when the feds come back with a reason, they will never have an answer to what will always gnaw at the heart of a wounded uncle.

Four days ago, Joyce Podlas, the Gregorys’ neighbor in Riverhead, N.Y., and Donna’s friend since junior high, attended a memorial service that brought her no closure.

“It’s still like I’m living a bad dream,” Joyce said yesterday. “I finally was able to cry, yes, but I still can’t believe they’re gone. It’s just too awful, too horrible. It’s a tragedy when a child loses one parent. But to lose two . . . I don’t know how to deal with that.”

Joyce’s own twins may help to see her through. Joyce Poldas has already received a request from Donna’s mother, Evelyn McGregor. “She’s asked me to bring my son and daughter, who are the same age, over to play with Bobby and Amanda,” Joyce said. “The kids will have fun, but it will be strange for me to be in Bob and Donna’s house and not have them there.”

Just where an orphaned twin sister and brother will ultimately grow up has not been decided, Harry Gregory said. “Just ask people to pray for them,” Harry asked.

The Valley of the Dolls

So, went to my first book club last night with the Boston Gamma Phi Alumnae Chapter. It was very exciting!

The book we read was “Valley of the Dolls” by Jacqueline Susann. I have to be honest…through the first 50 pages I didn’t think I was going to make it. I was bored out of my mind. Then the book took a turn for the positive. It started getting juicy with stories of drugs, sex and hollywood.

I would recommend this book for a good summer pool/beach read. However, I won’t give you my opinion of the end just in case you do read it!

Very funny video…It’s good to have cool friends

3 killed in small plane crash in Easton

EASTON — A cancer patient was among three people killed this morning when a single-engine airplane operated by Angel Flight New England crashed on its way from an airport in Westhampton, N.Y., to Logan International Airport, officials at the nonprofit group said.

The crash at 10:25 a.m. left a male patient, his wife, and the pilot dead. The patient was being taken to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for cancer treatment, said Amy Camerlin, a spokeswoman for Angel Flights, an organization of volunteer pilots that helps needy patients get medical care.

“Sadly, we learned the Angel flight patient and his wife and the pilot were lost,” Camerlin said in a phone interview. “They were traveling to Boston for medical treatment. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the patient’s and pilot’s families.”

Jim Peters, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, confirmed that the pilot was flying a Long Island couple to Boston for medical treatment. The plane crashed in the back row of a blacktop parking lot of a Hannaford’s supermarket on Robert Drive, which is also called Route 106. No one was injured on the ground.

“As to what happened, what may have transpired, we don’t know at this time,” said Richard Bunker, an inspector for the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission, who rushed to the scene.

The registered owner of the four-passenger Beechcraft Bonanza plane is Janet Keene, who was reached by telephone today at her home in Brookfield, Conn. Keene said she inherited the plane and that the pilot was a man from Brookfield who had used the aircraft to fly more than a dozen mercy missions.

“We don’t know of any problems the plane had,” said Keene, who declined to identify the pilot by name. “This is really a tragedy.”

Easton Fire Chief Thomas Stone said that a last-minute maneuver by the pilot may have avoided casualties in the shopping complex, where the burned wings stretched across three parking spaces.

“One hundred feet in either direction and he could have hit some cars,” Stone said.

Easton Deputy Police Chief Allen Krajick said that he saw the plane flying low under the clouds when it appeared to “stall or spin.” Other witnesses have told investigators that the aircraft appeared to be having trouble staying aloft before it nose-dived into the parking lot of the shopping complex, which also includes a Target and a TJ Maxx.

“We’re very fortunate no one else was hurt,” Krajick said.

Bridget Dumoulin, 40, was shopping in Hannaford’s for pizza-making ingredients for her son’s dinner when, “there was a big explosion and the building shook.”

“At first I thought he hit the building,” Dumoulin said. “People rushed over and tried to help, but it was just too late. The flames were too intense.”

At the nearby Bank of Easton, branch manager Patti Desgrosseilliers heard a loud “boom” and looked outside to see the fire some 500 feet from her window.

“We ran outside, we saw the flames and the smoke, and we could just see the tail of the plane,” Desgrosseilliers said.

This is crazy…

Animatronic waterboarding exhibit at Coney Island

Posted by Cory Doctorow, August 6, 2008 11:59 PM | permalink

Artist Steve Powers has created a Guantanamo Bay waterboarding exhibition at Coney Island — for a buck, you can watch an animatronic torture reenactment. This is the most intriguing use of animatronics I’ve heard of since I got to see the animatronic reenactment of the castration of the eunuch admiral Zhèng Hé at the 1421 exhibit in Singapore.

If you climb up a few cinderblock steps to the small window, you can look through the bars at a scene meant to invoke a Guantánamo Bay interrogation. A lifesize figure in a dark sweatshirt, the hood drawn low over his face, leans over another figure in an orange jumpsuit, his face covered by a towel and his body strapped down on a tilted surface.Feed a dollar into a slot, the lights go on, and Black Hood pours water up Orange Jumpsuit’s nose and mouth while Orange Jumpsuit convulses against his restraints for 15 seconds. O.K., kids, who wants more cotton candy!

In interrupting a day at the beach with scenes of the United States government’s rougher practices, Mr. Powers is being deliberately provocative. “What’s more obscene,” he asks, “the official position that waterboarding is not torture, or our official position that it’s a thrill ride?”

Reigh Rockefeller Found “ALIVE”- Over Dramatic

UPDATE: I should have simmered for a little while on the orginal post and I should have found the article which spawned my post. After a fellow blogger wrote and pointed to my attention that innocent chilren aren’t always found. I decided to revise my post. REVISION: I am ecstatic that the authorities found Reigh. I think the correct term inconjunction with her return should have been “unharmed”. One report I saw said she was found “ALIVE”. That is what peeved me off a little. My original point was that she was never in danger of being murdered – all the reports on her father (although very strange and maybe a fraud) indicated that he loved her unconditionally and he just wanted to be with her. Just my opinion. I feel the term “ALIVE” in this particular case was a little over dramatic.

ORIGINAL POST: I really hate the way reports were made stating that Reigh Rockefeller was found “unharmed, alive, uninjured, etc” In not one report was the dad reported to be harmful to the child. Everyone they interview said that the dad and daughter had a great relationship. In my opinion, this was just a case of a dad wanting to be with his daughter and the mother took the child away – GRANTED, the mom could have taken the child away because the father was a crook and a fraud..but the dad was never going to harm the child. That was obvious.

Our prayers are answered’

News that 7-year-old Reigh “Snooks” Storrow Mills Boss was found unharmed yesterday was greeted with joy and relief by those who know her.

“Our prayers are answered,” said the Rev. Brian Marsh, who baptized Reigh years ago at Trinity Anglican Church in Cornish, N.H., where her parents, Clark Rockefeller and Sandra L. Boss, lived before their divorce.

“I’m very, very relieved, and I know the congregation and particularly her mother will be as well,” Marsh said. “I know it has been an exhausting ordeal for her. Reigh’s a wonderful little child.”

Reigh was abducted by Rockefeller last Sunday, police said.

“We are both ecstatic,” said Stuart J.L. Gardner, lawyer for Aileen Ang, the unwitting driver of one of Rockefeller’s Boston getaway cars. “Aileen is overwhelmed with joy that the little girl has been returned to her mother safely.”

Rockefeller was arrested outside a Baltimore apartment yesterday afternoon and his precocious, tow-headed daughter was found safe inside.

Cornish Selectman John Hammond called Rockefeller’s capture “the best news I’ve heard all week.”

“My main concern is that the little girl is OK,” Hammond said. “Her father’s going to have to deal with his actions.”

Opinions differed, however, about exactly what should happen to Rockefeller, who allegedly kidnapped his daughter during a supervised visit in Boston. It was the first time he had seen Reigh since he and her mother divorced last December and Boss moved to London with their daughter.

Emily Miller, Reigh’s former babysitter in Cornish, said she hopes Rockefeller can still be involved in his daughter’s life.

“I hope Sandy can understand that was very hard for him to do as long as she was living in London,” Miller said.

“He should certainly be able to see her,” agreed Kristie Macrakis, who knew Rockefeller from a Boston discussion group called Cafe Society. Although she had long been suspicious of his affectations, Macrakis said yesterday, “I never doubted (Reigh) would survive. He never would have harmed her. Her father loved her.”

But Don MacLeay, a former neighbor of Rockefeller’s, was less than sympathetic.

“I think they should put him in jail and throw the key away,” MacLeay said. “Maybe we’ll finally find out who he really is.”
