Throat Punch Thursday~the flu,mom, parenthood

This Throat Punch brought to you by the FLU

Mama’s got the flu~ Unfortunately, today I am feeling way to ill to write my Throat Punch Thursday. The girls have been sick now for going on 3 weeks, previous to that, I had a sinus infection and it appears that the sickness has come around from behind and sucker punched me..just in time for the holidays. I’m not sure exactly what I have, but I suspect that it may be the flu. I woke up this morning with the cold sweats, a sick stomach and a headache. I basically woke up feeling as if I were in the end stages of death. Not pretty. I’m calling it the flu. Maybe it’s exhaustion coupled with something viral, maybe that nasty sinus infection is taking a new approach or maybe it’s the bubonic plague but I’ve not seen any large rats in the house so I’ m sticking with the flu. I hope you will forgive me for punking out on Throat Punch Thursday but I will still have the linky open and welcome all of you to link up. I can still read . I don’t feel much like thinking because at this point it makes my head hurt but I can read and leave comments. I can’t promise they will be coherent because of the fever and medicine. Hell, who am I kidding, I can’t guarantee they’ll be coherent on a good day with my damn six degrees of separation thing I’ve got going on but I’ll try!

I fought the Flu but the Flu won

I really wish I could muster the energy to be witty and snarkalicious about the CNN news today but I’ll leave the end of the Iraq war, Lindsey Lohan, the reasoning for the acquittal of Amanda Knox, the golden globes, the potential presidential candidates and apparently, the shocking news that Matthew McConaughey is currently bald ( who knew? who cares?) and all the rest of the world’s dumbest criminals! Have fun. Throat punch somebody this holiday season. You know you want to! All the frustration of holiday stress, this will help to relieve it!

All you have to do to link up is write a post about a situation,something or someone that you think is worthy of a throat punch. Honestly, it’s not that hard and once you start thinking about it…you’ll have more than enough worthy recipients! Then you go up here to the “buttons” tab on my blog, grab yourself a Throat Punch Thursday button and put it in your post. Then you link up. Then me & anyone who reads my blog comes and checks you out. I’ve learned from experience, the more outlandish the title..the more curious readers are, so go for broke and give me your crazy Throat Punch titles.  OK, I’m getting dizzy. I’ve got to climb back into bed.  One last thing, come back tomorrow..it’s fashion haul Friday and I am giving away an awesome $100 gift certificate to one lucky The TRUTH about Motherhood reader. The post is already written, so even if I die of this plague…the Big Guy has been given strict instructions to continue on with the giveaway  and give one of you a prize posthumously on my behalf.

Throat Punch Thursday~ Ryan Brunn,Jorelys Rivera, Georgia

Ryan Brunn; the Devil down in Georgia

Ryan Brunn ~ Have you heard this name yet? You probably have,the 20-year-old maintenance worker at the River Ridge Apartments face has been splashed all over the news in the last 24 hours. Ryan Brunn is the man in Canton Georgia accused in the abduction and brutal slaying of 7-year-old, Jorelys Rivera. Jorelys Rivera disappeared from the River Ridge apartment community’s playground (where she lives with her mother Jocelyn Rivera) last Friday while in the care of a babysitter who was suppose to be watching the girl as her mother works the night shift. ( I think this babysitter should be charged with negligence because obviously she wasn’t doing a very good job of sitting the baby!) The little girl’s savagely beaten, stabbed and raped body was found Monday in a dumpster on the premises. This story reminds me a lot of the Leiby Kletzky/ Levi Aron case. I’m not quite sure what is going on in the world today but I do know that it is a scary place to raise children. A parent’s biggest fear is that their child will be taken from them but in such a heinous and brutal way is unimaginable.

Ryan Brunn; Accused Child Murderer

As reported by ABC News, Police today arrested a maintenance worker who lives at the same apartment complex where 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera is believed to have been bludgeoned, stabbed and sexually assaulted in a vacant apartment near the playground where she disappeared. What kind of sick person does this to a child? I’m curious to know in what order he committed his crime. He belongs in a cage no matter what but I pray that he was depraved enough to have killed the little girl before sexually assaulting her. I have a 6 year old and the sheer terror of the sexual abuse is more than I can stomach.

Ryan Brunn, 20, doesn’t have a criminal history, investigators said, but Georgia Bureau of Investigation director Vernon Keenan told reporters, “We are confident that Brunn is the killer and that is why he is in custody.” He is allegedly the murderer of this beautiful little girl who’s life was just at the very beginning but what the hell would trigger someone to want to do this to such a small child? Why would someone just wake up one day, with no criminal history, and think to himself “Today seems like a good day to savagely murder a little girl!” Obviously, there would have to be a predisposition to pedophilia but why this little girl? Why someone at the very complex where he worked? This could qualify him as one of the world’s dumbest criminals. I don’t know all the facts of the case ( as they’ve not all been released) but I hope they have some hard evidence because something about this case doesn’t add up.

Jorelys disappeared Friday evening from the playground at the River Ridge apartment community, where she lived with her mother in Canton, Ga. Her body was discovered Monday in one of the complex’s dumpster. This had to be the longest and worst weekend of Jocelyn Rivera’s life. As a mother, if your child disappears from your line of sight for an instance behind a rack in a clothing store THAT is enough to induce heart attack inducing fear.Your mouth goes dry, all you can hear is the rush of your blood to your brain, you get dizzy and you feel as if the entire weight of the universe is sitting squarely on your chest. You can’t breathe.You don’t want to breathe. You want to stop time and rewind to the previous second when your child was in your line of sight. To go an entire weekend feeling that way, not knowing where your child was, whether she was dead or alive would be enough to drive a mother mad. My heart goes out to Jorelys’ mother, Jocelyn Rivera. Monday, every mother’s worst fear was realized for her.

To commit a crime in which one kills a child in such a brutal and savage way, there really has to be something effed up Ryan Brunn’s head. Ryan Brunn you most certainly deserve this week’s throat punch if you committed this heinous crime against little Jorelys Rivera . There was an article today in which they said Jocelyn Rivera, Jorelys mother, was asking for the death penalty for her daughter’s alleged murderer, Ryan Brunn. I’m not sure how this was surprising or newsworthy, I am certain that any parent whose child was murdered, bludgeoned, stabbed and raped viciously would call for the exact same justice. That is if those parents didn’t exact justice on the suspect themselves.

If you have a post that you think gives out a Throat Punch, please add the Throat Punch Thursday Button into your post and link up here so we can check out who you’ve given your throat punch to! Also, don’t forget the Shabby Apple giveaway ends tonight at 11:59 pm EST and the winner will be announced in tomorrow’s Fashion Haul Friday post. Low entries and there is still time to get your hands on that Shabby Apple Lois Lane dress! Good luck.

The world is a scary place but it becomes a lot scarier when the people you see every day, your neighbors, are the predator. We are all hyper aware and teach our children not to go too close or trust the stranger on the street, but how do we protect our children from the familiar assailant? How do we protect our children from the Levi Aron, Casey Anthony and Ryan Brunn’s of the world?

Ryan Brunn; May the Punishment befit Your Crime

Throat Punch Thursday~ Intellectual Property Plagiarism

Intellectual Property Plagiarism ~ This one is personal. You all know how I feel about being plagiarized. I think we can all agree that plagiarizing sucks. I’m not some Pulitzer prize winning writer, I talk about a lot of crazy off the wall shit and it’s not normally popular opinion or written in the usual rainbows and unicorns fashion, so when you plagiarize my intellectual property…it doesn’t take me too long to figure it out. Not to mention that I have taken some pretty extensive steps to catch plagiarist. Oh yeah, I’ve got my blog boobie trapped assholes. I’ve even written entire posts about how to catch a plagiarist and stop them from plagiarizing you.

Intellectual Property Plagiarism Not a Victimless Crime

I don’t think that some people understand that I have ownership over my blog posts because I author them and when they take them without my consent and without acknowledging me as the true author, they are stealing. I don’t adhere to the adage that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s not. The sincerest form of flattery to a writer is to pay her for her writing. When someone copies my thoughts, ideas, words and actions; when someone tries to be who I am by using my mission, my formula, my title and name…that is plagiarism and it pisses me off. It seems the more traffic I get, the more well known my blog becomes the more likely people are to try and hitch their wagon to my star. I’m not saying that there is anything special about what I do but it’s mine. It’s me! I feel like these plagiarists are turning all Single white female on me. It is literally happening almost on a daily basis at this point.I’ve written so many cease and desist letters that the formula is tattooed on my brain.

Intellectual Property Plagiarism is Real & punishable by Law

This latest case of intellectual property plagiarism is what has my panties in a bunch today. Earlier this week, as I was perusing Facebook I stumbled on a Community page using my blog name The TRUTH about Motherhood. Did you even know that this was possible? Can you say blatant intellectual property plagiarism? This piqued my curiosity. I may not be a Dooce or Jessica Gottlieb but I’ve been around long enough for a substantial amount of bloggers to know who the hell I am. It always gives me a little knot in my stomach when I ever see my title used or very close to it because then I have to check it out to see what else it has in common with me. Imagine my reaction when I was reading the description of the page and it read;

Witty, honest look at Motherhood from the trenches. The agony and the ecstasy of being a Mother, from pregnancy, through labor and delivery, to bringing the first baby home and to infinity and beyond. Where other mothers pretend to be Bree Van de Kamp,Truthful Mommy lets it all out there for the world to see. If 30’s the new 20, then imperfect parenting is the new perfect.

I was trying to place the words. I went back through my posts and I saw bits and pieces here and there but not the exact quote.But I knew it had been said. I knew it was something I had said. Then I remembered, it is the verbatim description of my blog on the Babble top Mom blogger nominations. My head was spinning. Then I realized that they had labeled the page Community. To me, that infers that they are the community page for The TRUTH about Motherhood website ( which they are not) especially since they had the balls to use my exact description of my blog and even refer to TruthfulMommy( ME). I contacted them and they refused to answer and removed my comment from their wall. I reported them to FB for intellectual property infringement and they were forced to remove the description. Some of my followers also told me that they reported the page for being a duplicate. I think that since they refer to themselves as the community of The TRUTH abut Motherhood it is still under the guise of being associated with my site and should be forced to change their name, as well. We will see what Facebook does about the situation. I have made my feelings clear. I hope they have to change it or remove it in it’s entirety. This is just one more instance in a long list of times that someone has stolen my brand.

Intellectual Property Plagiarism Parasites

Today, I am throat punching the hell out of PLAGIARIZING PARASITES. I make no bones about it, if you are copying someone else’s thoughts/actions/words give them the acknowledgment and link back, at the very least try to do so. I will not tolerate this anymore. If I find out that you are plagiarizing my intellectual property, I will go through the proper channels and I will take you down.

Hope you will link up your Throat Punch Thursday posts with me. All you have to do is grab the Throat Punch Thursday button ( listed under the buttons tab at the top of the page), put it in your blog post and link up. If you’d like to stay in the Throat Punch know, I’d love it if you would email subscribe ( as GFC will stop working soon).

*Just checked and the FB page for the “community” calling themselves The TRUTH about Motherhood has been taken down! FTW! Thank you FB for having some integrity.

Have you ever been plagiarized? What did you do? Did you go after the plagiarist assholes who stole your property? Did you give them a throat punch? We need to keep an eye out for one another and let one another know if we come across one anothers material on sites not belonging to the original writer. We are bloggers hear us roar ( right before we throat punch your ass)! Fellow bloggers, let plagiarists know that intellectual property plagiarism will no longer be tolerated by any of us.

Miley Cyrus, Fat, demi lovato,

Throat Punch Thursday~ Miley Cyrus:Don't call me fat! Edition

Miley Cyrus is NOT Fat

Miley Cyrus: Don’t Call Me Fat! ~ Seriously, what in the world is wrong with people? Miley Cyrus is not fat. She looks like a healthy young woman. Healthy and woman being the operative words. Hollywood is so used to seeing the Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato girls of the world running around like starved waifs that when they see them with a curvy figure they cry FAT! The Miley Cyrus: Don’t call me Fat! article that is seemingly everywhere is has onlookers split down the middle. There are actually people in the world who think because she is not shaped like a 12 year old boy anymore, she must be fat. This is hurtful gossip at its worst for entertainment value. Shame on you trolls for taking cheap shots and mocking the Marilyn Monroes of the world. If we collectively think that healthy is fat, maybe we are the ones who should seek some help.

Miley Cyrus, Fat, demi lovato,

Miley Cyrus is Beautiful & Healthy Looking

Why do we have to make a strong young woman feel less than enough when she has had the good fortune and upbringing to know that her self-worth does not come from the size of her jeans. Are we jealous? I love that Miley Cyrus, spunky and sassy as ever, shot back almost immediately by declaring a public  Twitter war on those who insulted her. Miley Cyrus tweeted to her three million plus followers, “By calling girls like me fat this is what you’re doing to other people.” Her tweet was accompanied by a picture of an emaciated woman.

Miley Cyrus, Not fat, Demi Lovato

This is the Photo that Miley Cyrus Tweeted

Of course if the above photo is what one identifies with as chic and thin then they may want to seek some mental health themselves. I used to think the image above was a good size and that the Marilyn Monroes of the world were fat. Then again, I have a diagnosis of Body dysmorphic disorder and anorexia/bulima on my books. Even I know that this above photo is too thin. Miley was right to be hurt and insulted. Miley went on to criticize her critics, writing, “I love MYSELF & if you could say the same you wouldn’t be sitting on your computer trying to hurt others.”

To drive the point home, Miley Cyrus posted a picture of Marilyn Monroe with the caption, “Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men, even when your thighs touch.” Damn, I wish I had this girls self-confidence!

Soon, Miley’s friend and fellow pop star Demi Lovato joined in on Twitter tweeting back, “I love you, whoever called you that has it coming.” Lovato recently got out of rehab, which she entered in part due to body image issues. Demi Lovato had to defend her post-rehab weight gain back in August, as well.

Miley responded : @ddlovato AMEN! I will destroy any one that ever calls you the F word. You have the SEXIIIESTTTT curvyyyy body! I LOVE IT! #werkthosecurves

Cyrus wasn’t backing down. She tweeted again, “I LOVE being shaped like a WOMAN & trust me ladies your man won’t mind either.” Indeed, young master. I really wish I had her confidence and felt that comfortable with my body. This is a great message to send to women everywhere. Men don’t want girls who are shaped like little boys, unless they are Jerry Sandusky…then maybe.

Amen! I commend these young girls for having the fortitude to stand up to Hollywood’s image of what beauty is and for speaking up in defense for healthy young women everywhere. You are not fat. You are beautiful, healthy and hopefully happy. If we could just get the rest of the world to understand  what you already know, our self worth is not determined by the size of our jeans. Throat punch to all the asshats who think it’s okay to make a running commentary on someone else’s body. Whether you are being a lecherous pervert or a jerky hater, keep your comments on other peoples sizes and shapes to yourself. They have mirrors in their house and they are perfectly aware of any and all flaws that you might feel is your duty to point out. Know this, they know they are there. No one needs your jokes or opinions. Miley Cyrus you impress me with your big, giant self-confidence!

Paterno,scandal, Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, Second Mile

Throat Punch Thursday~Throat Punch Thursday~ Joe Paterno, Penn State, football, Jerry Sandusky, Graham Spanier, Tim Curly, child abuse, sexual abuse, The Second Mile

Throat Punch Thursday Paterno Style

Joe Paterno ~ What the f*ck is going on over at Penn State? Since when did Penn State college football become more important than a defensive coordinator sexually abusing underprivileged children? When did our society become so nonchalant and tolerant of abuse of any kind towards a child? Childhood is to be magically lived, not survived. I am perfectly aware of the facts of the case, I know that Jerry Sandusky was the actual perverted pedophile who got his rocks off sodomizing the very boys that he was supposed to be helping but everyone who knew about it and turned a blind eye  didn’t beat him with a bat didn’t report it to the police so that they could continue on with winning seasons are equally as guilty. Had the legendary Joe Paterno did more than just reporting it to a higher up maybe it would have stopped. Joe Paterno could have saved every one of Sandusky’s victims since then from ever being abused. Coach Paterno knew what Jerry Sandusky was doing was criminal. If he saw that all Sandusky got was a slap on the wrist, he should have went to the authorities but he didn’t because he didn’t give a shit. It wasn’t his problem. It wasn’t his child. It didn’t effect him in anyway, apparently not even his conscience. He was winning and being glorified and, after all, that is all that matters. Who gives a sh*t about a bunch of underprivileged kids anyways, right?

On November 4, 2011, Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly indicted Sandusky on 40 (WTF?) counts of sex crimes against young boys, following a three-year investigation into allegations that he had inappropriate contact with a 15-year-old boy over the course of four years, beginning when the boy was ten years old. The boy’s parents reported the incident to police in 2009. (What took so long? Did they need to let him abuse someone else?Why is this animal even walking around free around children?)[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][6] A Pennsylvania statewide investigating grand jury identified eight boys singled out for sexual advances or sexual assaults by Sandusky from 1994 through 2009.[7][8] At least 20 of the incidents allegedly took place while Sandusky was still employed by Penn State.[9] The mother of one of the alleged victims said that Sandusky personally admitted to inappropriately touching her son while showering with him on campus in 1998. ( Maybe he wanted to be stopped. Maybe that is why he let himself be caught but no one at Penn State cared enough about the children to report him.) However, Ray Gricar, Attorney General of Centre County at that time, declined to press charges.(Why?I need further explanation! I demand it.) [10]

Sandusky was arrested on November 5 and charged with seven counts of involuntary ( involuntary? What did his dick just assault those little boys and he had no control of his member? Was it an accidental sodomization? Are we calling it a slip and trip in the shower now?) deviate sexual intercourse. Two Penn State administrators were charged with perjury and failure to report suspected child abuse by Sandusky. Senior vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz, who oversaw the Penn State police department, and Tim Curley, the athletic director, were found to be not credible by the grand jury.[12][13]

Despite the history no criminal charges were brought against Sandusky until after an investigation initiated in the Spring of 2008 when the mother of one of the boys (identified in court papers as “Victim 1”) reported the abuse during his freshman year at Central Mountain High School in Clinton County, Pennsylvania. According to court papers Sandusky had been having a relationship with Victim 1 since 2005 or 2006 when the boy was 11 or 12 and the relationship involved “inappropriate touching.” Sandusky had met the boy through the Second Mile program. Sandusky retired from Second Mile in 2010.[14]

What Would Paterno Do?

According to the indictment, in 2002 Penn State graduate assistant Mike McQueary walked in on a ten-year-old boy (described in court papers as “Victim 2”) “being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky”[15] in the Lasch Football Building on the Penn State campus.[14] The next day, he reported the incident to Paterno, who informed Curley. Ultimately, the only action Curley and Schultz took was to order Sandusky not to bring any children from Second Mile to the football building—an action that was approved by school president Graham Spanier. The indictment accused Curley and Schultz of not only failing to tell the police, but falsely telling the grand jury that the graduate assistant never informed them of sexual activity. Since no formal police investigation was conducted at the time, the identity and exact age of Victim 2 is not known. The only formal law enforcement investigation began in December 2010 when McQueary testified before the Grand Jury.[14][2]

Although Penn State prohibited Sandusky from bringing boys onto the main campus in 2002, Sandusky was allowed to operate a summer camp under his name from 2002 to 2008 at a satellite campus near Erie where he had daily contact with boys from fourth grade to high school.[16]

Sandusky is currently free on $100,000 bail pending trial. He could face life in prison if convicted of the charges.[17] Curley and Schultz appeared in a Harrisburg courtroom on November 7, where a judge set bail at $75,000 and required them to surrender their passports.[18]

Paterno,scandal, Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, Second Mile

A Coach Paterno and his Pedophile, Jerry Sandusky

Jerry Sandusky founded the Second Mile with this mission:

Many children face adversity even before they understand how to dream. The Second Mile, founded in 1977 in State College, Pennsylvania, is a statewide non-profit organization for children who need additional support and who would benefit from positive human contact. The Second Mile plans, organizes, and offers activities and programs for children – and adults who work with them – to promote self-confidence as well as physical, academic, and personal success.

When Sandusky founded Second Mile was it with the intent to lure children there under the guise of “promoting self-confidence as well as physical, academic and personal success”? Was Sandusky sodomizing young boys in the shower the positive contact with which they were referring to as beneficial? Why didn’t Mike McQueary forcibly remove Jerry Sandusky from anally raping this small child instead he walked in, “OOPS, didn’t see the sock on the door bro” style and just as quickly ran out. He should have beat the hell out of Sandusky and rescued that terrified boy from the showers. Was the additional support, Paterno passing the information that Mike McQueary told him he had caught Sandusky in the act of anally raping a child in the showers off to Curly? Was support Curly and Schultz, armed with the fact that Sandusky was caught forcibly sodomizing a child, telling Graham Spanier so that he could do nothing more than tell Sandusky that he could not bring the Second Mile kids to the showers at Penn State? Everyone passed it along, no one did anything as helpless unsuspecting children stood shivering in the showers at Penn State as the monsters attacked. Basically, who cares if Jerry Sandusky is abusing children…just don’t do it on our property and soil our good football name! Was the support the Second Mile kids received Spanier approving the action taken by Curly and Schultz but doing nothing further? Why were the authorities not called? Shouldn’t this man, Jerry Sandusky, have been strung up by his balls and beaten like a pinata by his victims? At the very least, he should have been sent to prison in 2002 when he was first caught! To add insult to injury, after his slap on the wrist of not being allowed to use the showers at Penn State to conduct his abuse, he was still allowed to operate a summer camp on one of Penn State’s satellite campuses.

Who knows how many victims there have been over the years since 1977? How many little boys lives have been ruined in the showers at Penn State? An actual investigation was not started until 2008. That is 31 years of unabashed abuse that Sandusky was dispensing to trusting, unsuspecting children who had placed their faith and respect in him to be a mentor, someone to help better their situation. Why did parents not come forth sooner? Better yet, why didn’t the parents of these boys lynch this pedophile child raping bastard? So many people let this go on for so long. The line of culpability is practically wrapped around the entire campus.

The students and alumni are protesting and up in arms that the legendary coach Joe Paterno has been fired and that it will tarnish their football program. What about the children of the past 33 years who have been abused? What about those of the past 9 years who Paterno himself could have directly have saved from the abuse? All this legendary douche canoe had to do was call the fucking police. ONE phone call and he could have stopped this all.  The students and alumni should be up in arms that they have been idolizing a man who is a coward and accomplice to a pedophile. The people of Penn State that are supporting Paterno are supporting the belief that it’s OK to abuse a child. That football is more important than our future. That children are disposable and unimportant. They should look in the mirror, they were not children so long ago. Some may have children of their own. They may even know one of the Penn State Good Ole Boys’ victims.  I say moral negligence is a crime and in and of itself. Paterno may not have sodomized anyone in the shower but he is culpable for is sin of omission and for not screaming fire in a crowded Penn State. Joe Paterno could have saved so many victims but Paterno chose to ignore what Sandusky was doing. You can’t tell me that Paterno thought that a fitting punishment for sodomizing a little boy in the shower was to take away Sandusky’s shower privileges at Penn States main campus? Maybe if the crime was peeing in the shower it would fit the bill. But for raping children, the punishment to fit the crime would be more in the realm of castration by butter knife.

Mike McQueary you get my Throat Punch for not beating the ever loving shit out of Jerry Sandusky when you seen him anally raping that poor little boy. Curly and Schultz, you had the proof to save children from this fate and you turned a blind eye in the name of your football program and Graham Spanier, you are the biggest piece of shit of all. YOU were the final word and your word was to let loose a monster on the children of the Second Mile for 9 years with no regard for their safety and innocence. Joe Paterno you had such power and moral obligation to protect these boys of the Second Mile but football meant more to you than the consequence of what would happen to those boys in the showers at Penn State. You should have done more. You could have done more. Joe Paterno, YOU chose not too.

Paterno You Could Have Stopped this

BABY LISA, LISA IRWIN, DEBORAH BRADLEY, Jeremy Irwin

Throat Punch Thursday~Baby LIsa DIsappeared into thin airBaby Lisa

Baby Lisa Irwin~ Not going to lie, I am a little emotionally spent after yesterday’s coming out of the diagnosis closet post but this Throat Punch had to be issued. It’s been a long time coming. Baby Lisa Irwin is the 10 month old baby from Kansas City who mysteriously disappeared into thin air during the night of October 3, 2011 while her mother, Deborah Bradley, fell into a drunken slumber. I really don’t know what to think. If the parents had nothing to do with this, my heart breaks for them. But my gut, my gut tells me that Baby Lisa’s parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin know something. As I’ve always believed that JonBenet Ramsey’s parents know what happened to JonBenet, and  Casey Anthony knows what happened to little Caylee, something tells me that either one or both of little baby Lisa Irwin’s parents know what has happened to her. I’ve never known of a baby this young to go missing on their own. It is practically unfeasible. It’s not like she packed a bag and took off on her own. Somebody came into that house and took that child out of there. But who would take Baby Lisa? And more sinister, why? What for?

BABY LISA, LISA IRWIN, DEBORAH BRADLEY, Jeremy Irwin

Baby Lisa Missing

This has been the tragic headline for the last 3 weeks.  Little by little more information continues to come out. Seems the media teeters between sympathy and accusation, leaning towards accusation. Here are a few speculative scenarios that I have come up with:

  • Deborah Bradley was so intoxicated that she dropped, hurt, or let baby Lisa fall off of a table, bust her head or Deborah accidentally delivered a fatal blow. Maybe the baby was in the bed too and Deborah rolled over on top of her and smothered her.
  • Maybe Deborah was drunk and distracted and one of the boys accidentally hurt baby Lisa and hid the fact. Maybe Deborah covered for them. Maybe Jeremy Irwin came home and found the scene and had to protect what was left of his family.
  • Maybe Jeremy Irwin stole the child. (He’s never really crying when we see him on TV). Maybe the child is somewhere safe and when this is all over he is leaving Deborah Bradley and rejoining with his baby girl on some far off city in Switzerland.
  • Maybe Jeremy Irwin has a lover and she has the baby and is hiding out in their love nest, awaiting his arrival.
  • Maybe it was just a tragic accident and everyone made a gross misjudgement and burned the baby in the dumpster, buried her in the yard, under the floorboards, side of the road..who knows.
  • A complete stranger broke into the Irwin home and stole the baby, who just happened to be the only family member on that side of the house. Does anyone else find it odd that the baby would be the person furthest in the house from the mom?
  • Perhaps, someone the family knew came into the house and took the baby.
  • Maybe they sold the baby and are having a little sellers remorse?
  • Maybe Baby Lisa was abducted by aliens?

This is all speculation, but what is not speculation is that Baby Lisa is missing for almost a month and somebody knows what happened and I am not buying the intruder came in and stole the baby story. If the parents had nothing to do with it, I am so sorry for what they are going through but I feel like they know something, even if they had nothing to do with what actually happened to the little girl. I keep seeing clips of Deborah Bradley overcome with emotion when talking about her child, but this could be genuine overwhelmed emotion at the situation of her child being missing or it could be an overwhelming sense of guilt. No matter the reason, one thing still remains true about Baby Lisa is gone.

This weeks Throat Punch goes to parents who should have done everything possible to enable the search, a Kansas City police force that should have acted faster and with more force to solve this crime within the first 48 hours, and for anyone or anything who would remove a baby from it’s home in the dead of the night, lose a baby, get completely drunk with no other responsible adult in the home to tend to the babies needs and to anyone who thinks that these parents don’t know something more than they are telling. I hope baby Lisa is found alive and well and this is a hoax, but I fear that the scenario will end more like that of poor little Caylee Anthony.

Throat Punch Thursday~Dress Code for Parents at drop off, dress codes, parents, craziness

Dress code for parents at Drop Off ~ My daughter goes to private elementary school and I love her school. It keeps the focus on academics and spirituality and that is super cool because that is why I’m spending my life savings getting my girls the education and environment that I feel is most conducive to them being good, intelligent, respectable people in the world. Basically, I spend all of my hard earned money so that your world can be filled with great people. I can put up with all the SCRIP and SCRAP, festivals and the plethora of volunteering duties. Hell, I’ll even run the damn Fall carnival , room mother both my girls and rule the entire HASA but damn it, nobody better tell me what I can or can’t wear to drop off my children at school. Seriously, dress code for parents? Isn’t that a violation of one of my amendments? It’s not like I’m going to jump out of the car in my footed duckie jams and dance a jig using jazz hands while screaming “Superstar”. I just want to be able to not have a fashion crisis before 8 am every morning. As long as I’m not showing up naked  or mostly naked, where as I am accosting the children, leave me be.

I don’t judge you, don’t give me a dress code.

Dress Code for Parents, I don’t think so

Apparently, there is an elementary school somewhere in the world where they have implemented a dress code for parents when dropping off and picking up their children. Parents must conform to the same rigorous dress code guidelines as their children. So what? Now, they want me to wear a flipping uniform to pick up my kids? Heil Hitler? What are they the effing dress code Nazis? I’m not one of those moms who drives all over town in her pajama pants, rollers and dirty t-shirt that the baby spat up on last night. But I am most definitely holding my own in sweat pant purgatory. Hey, I’m not proud of my lack of unleashing my inner fashionista but damn it I have two kids to get ready,feed, dress, lug to the opposite side of town and at two separate schools, not to mention, I actually do go directly to the personal trainers on most days. Hey, at least I’m not pulling up in a minivan and that’s something. I am dressed appropriately for my morning. Hell yes, I wear yoga pants and sweat shirts most days, especially in the morning. I am abiding by what I assume is pretty much standard dress code for parents everywhere.Well, except for that one bitch who must get up at 5 am to wiggle into those damn skinny jeans and high heels. MILF my ass, she’s making the rest of us look bad because of her daddy issues. I’m pretty sure these would be her pajamas. In that case, I agree no lingerie for drop off  because all the dad’s would be ass ending one another (No that’s not a euphemism).

This I could see as inappropriate at drop off.I'm pretty sure she'd make all the Dads wreck and possibly kill Sister Mary.

Thank God and Mary too, that our school has had the good sense to not implement any such craziness. I think for what I pay in tuition, I should be able to wear whatever I want to drop my kids off as long as they are clean, well coiffed and dressed appropriately. I don’t think my stint in sweat pant purgatory should have any bearing on my kids’ education. I am pretty sure that my yoga pants are not so offensive as to cause my children’s brain cells to actually spontaneously combust the moment their eyes fall in my general direction. I could be wrong but, since this is my blog, I  say hell no to the dress code and throat punch to any school who tries to dictate what parents are allowed to wear.

Throat Punch Thursday~Prenup agreement~You Look Better with The Lights Off

Prenup Agreement ~ A prenuptial agreement, often shortened to “prenup,” is a legal agreement entered into by an engaged couple prior to being married. The prenuptial agreement provides for an agreed upon distribution of assets if the marriage ends in divorce.

Let me preface this by saying that I am absolutely anti-prenup in 99% of marriages. If you are a zillionaire whose family earned their zillions by working their asses off with the sweat of their brow dripping in their eyes and you marry a pauper who wears a t-shirt that says Looking for Daddy Warbucks then yeah, get yourself a prenup. Protect those zillions. But if you are a college student who marries his college sweetheart and you both don’t have shit, save yourself an argument and don’t even bring the ridiculousness that is a prenup up to your partner. You have nothing. Anything you earn will be while you are together.

Just say no to the prenup!

I think my biggest problem with the idea of the prenup is that it says to the world, this isn’t going to last long and when it all blows up I don’t want you walking away with any of my shit. If this is the case, maybe rather than a prenup to squelch your commitment fears you should reconsider the entire idea of marriage.I know that celebrities have even taken the prenup as far as stipulating how often relations will take place and how many children are allowed into the relationship.

Many prenups even stipulate that cheating will result in a bigger financial piece of pie for the victim and the adulterer forfeits what they may have otherwise earned in the divorce. Earned.in.The.DIVORCE. Do these assholes even believe the shit they are saying?  Is the collective self esteem in Hollywood so low that people actually sign this bullshit? Seriously, I’d just assume paper cut your face with that document, douce you in salt water and gasoline and then set you on fire than sign away my soul to you. You heartless bastard.

This Prenup takes the cake

But this morning on the radio, I heard the most preposterous prenup clause that I could have ever imagined; a weight clause. Yes, it is as awful as it sounds. It is a clause, in the already insulting prenup, that stipulates that a partner must maintain a certain weight or within a 10 pound flex for a predetermined amount of time. What The F*CK? Can you imagine the idiot who presents this to the woman that he has proposed to? “Yes, please do me the honor of marrying me but the minute you gain ten pounds, I am out and you will be left penniless!” “Why yes honey, you do look better with the lights off!” Yes, my jaw was on the floor when I heard this craziness.

Imagine what kind of vain, self centered asshole would not only make you sign a prenup promising not to take all his money when he does you wrong but he even stipulates that if you gain some junk in the trunk, he’s got the right to call you fat and dump you..guilt free. Is the institution of marriage no longer sacred? In a world of people marrying on a dare in Vegas, changing partners as often as they change their underwear and divorcing one another over a weight gain, has marriage lost all of it’s integrity?

This week’s throat punch most definitely goes to the moronic betrothed who has not only the balls but the lack of any common sense to ask their partner to sign a fat clause in their prenup. May your days be long and lonely and may you , yourself, be the picture of what not to do in marriage. As a precautionary measure, I feel that it is my duty to warn anyone who is thinking that this is a good idea to reconsider lest you like to be throat punched and then set on fire.

throat Punch thursday,Prenup

What are your thoughts on the prenup? Did you have a prenup? Would you ask your spouse for a prenup? What do you, honestly, think about the weight maintenance clause? Would you be insulted if asked to sign it? If you could add any clause to a prenup what would you add? Me? I think I’d add the pick up your socks, put the roll on the toilet paper holder, listen when I talk, help put the kids to bed clause. If a fat clause can be put into a prenup, how about a guaranteed orgasm prenup? Yeah, boys…you are not so fast to get behind that one are you?

Throat Punch Thursday~ Obesity, Tara Lynn

Obesity~ The epidemic that is causing broken hearts and leaving dead bodies in it’s wake all across the world but more specifically in my own home country of  the United States. It’s no wonder either. We are a people that live fast paced, on the go and high stress existences. We are always running to and fro and we are overworked and overwhelmed. We are a land of overachievers. In our quest for trying to be the best, we are dropping the ball in one particular area of our life, the most important area..our health. We are mindlessly stress eating too often, everything is super-sized while saturated in grease and we are so busy behind our computers or at our desks that we never get enough exercise. Even when we have the good intentions to work out, we have to beg, borrow and steal to find the time, energy and a babysitter. Sounds to me like obesity is the logical evolution of our current collective lifestyle. But I say NO more!

Just Say No to Obesity

Recently, the answer has been to make fat acceptable. That’s right, I just used the word FAT. Overweight. Obese. However you spin it. If your BMI is over 30 you are a victim, willing participant or whatever the case may be of the epidemic of obesity. Just because we are afraid to hurt one another’s feelings, feel the need to be politically correct and keep changing the size of clothing to pretend we are smaller than we actually are does not mean that we are healthy.It just means that we are packaging obesity in a different way, a prettier package. The only way to be healthy is to put down the fork, get up and get moving and make healthier choices all around. But first, we need to be honest with ourselves! Obesity is no joke. Just because we all pretend it’s cute,package it in fancy clothes and commiserate does not make it any less damaging to our health. That is the point, I am making. That is why the obesity epidemic gets my throat punch. I am fully aware that there are medical conditions that cause some people to be heavy and it’s beyond their control but I’d suspect that only accounts for about 1% of obesity cases. I know most of us don’t do it on purpose, though there are those rare cases of those who do. Most of us got fat the good old fashioned way…we ate too much.

What got me so fired up, you ask? This piece was posted on Facebook, apparently it is spreading like a grassroots fire. I have provided it here…

 A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defends and admires.

Is this how Obesity is protected by vilifying the Alternative?

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn’t enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: “How amazing am I ?! “

Obesity, Tara Lynn

Tara Lynn

 

People can say that it is awesome that Tara Lynn is on the cover of a magazine. She is beautiful.  Kudos can be given because they see a woman who may look a bit more like who they see in the mirror versus a Adriana Lima. I get that. But I also get that it is NOT healthy. To be honest, if I wanted to see chunky on display, I’d look in the mirror. There has to be healthy sizes in between, maybe something in the 8-14 spectrum. What I would consider to be the average sizes, or what I have been lead to believe is average by what I see around me. Pretending that heavy is healthy is a white lie that may seem innocuous when being said to your best friend, your sister or yourself but think of the ripple effect. One person tells another person who tells another person that unhealthy is acceptable. We spare hurting feelings but we are literally killing one another with kindness. Obesity is an epidemic…like the plague the only difference is that we pretend that it’s not deadly. We treat it as a social disease rather than an honest to goodness medical threat. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to be a damn whale or a mermaid, I want to be a healthy human. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be healthy. Why do we have to accept obesity as the status quo? What are your thoughts on the obesity epidemic?

Unhealthiness, Thy Name is Obesity
