Yesterday was headache-y, but ok. Mp, Newt and I just sort of flopped around and slept off and on. There's something to be said about curling up in a little knot and just sleeping the day away inside while the rain pounds outdoors.



Lapjuicer - "The Lapjuicer is intended to be used by a lap-dancer in a club. The performer uses their body with the object, in order to extract fruit juices that can be drunk by one or more spectators."

Good Grief. Who comes up with these things?!? probably not safe for work.



Gerald McBoing Boing tells the story of a small boy who when he first tries to talk can only utter sound effects like 'Boing! Boing! His parents are shocked and call in a doctor who says he has no cure for the noises.

Great classic cartoon.. I had the storybook when I was but a tiny little Scotto.

Moment of Lyric: (mp3)

One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there
And she almost knocked me dead
Punk rock girl please look at me
Punk rock girl what do you see?
Let's travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl

I tapped her on the shoulder
And said do you have a beau?
She looked at me and smiled
And said she did not know
Punk rock girl give me a chance
Punk rock girl let's go slamdance
We'll dress like Minnie Pearl
Just you and me punk rock girl

We went to the Philly Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said "Well no
We only have it iced"
So we jumped up on the table
And shouted "anarchy"
And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was "California Dreamin'"
So we started screamin'
"On such a winter's day"

She took me to her parents
For a Sunday meal
Her father took one look at me
And he began to squeal
Punk rock girl it makes no sense
Punk rock girl your dad is the Vice President
Rich as the Duke of Earl
Yeah you're for me punk rock girl

We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us
To a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said "He don't work here"
We said "If you don't got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin'"

We got into a car
Away we started rollin'
I said "How much you pay for this?"
She said "Nothing man, it's stolen"
Punk rock girl you look so wild
Punk rock girl let's have a child
We'll name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me
Eating fudge banana swirl
Just you and me
We'll travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl

He grabbed girl's arm -- now he's a sex offender

 
Fitzroy Barnaby said he had to swerve to avoid hitting the 14-year-old Des Plaines girl who walked in front of his car.

She said he yelled, "Come here, little girl," before getting out of his car and grabbing her by the arm.

He said he simply lectured her.

She said she broke free and ran, fearful of what he'd do next.

In a Thursday ruling, the Appellate Court of Illinois said the 28-year-old Evanston man must register as a sex offender.

While acknowledging it might be "unfair for [Barnaby] to suffer the stigmatization of being labeled a sex offender when his crime was not sexually motivated," the court said his actions are the type that are "often a precursor" to a child being abducted or molested.

Though Barnaby was acquitted of attempted kidnapping and child abduction charges stemming from the November 2002 incident, he was convicted of unlawful restraint of a minor -- which is a sex offense.

'Most stupid ruling'

Now, he will have to tell local police where he lives and won't be able to live near a park or school.

"This is the most stupid ruling the appellate court has rendered in years," said Barnaby's Chicago attorney, Frederick Cohn. "If you see a 15-year-old beating up your 8-year-old and you grab that kid's hand and are found guilty of unlawful restraint, do you now have to register as a sex offender?"

But Cook County state's attorney spokesman Tom Stanton said Barnaby should have to register "because of the proclivity of offenders who restrain children to also commit sex acts or other crimes against them."

In the criminal case against him, Cook County Judge Patrick Morse said that "it's more likely than not" Barnaby planned only "to chastise the girl" when he grabbed her, but "I can't read his mind."

"I don't really see the purpose of registration in this case. I really don't," Morse said. "But I feel that I am constrained by the statute."

Recognizing the stigma that comes with being labeled as a sex offender, the appellate court said "it is [Barnaby's] actions which have caused him to be stigmatized, not the courts."

Well...I can't tell you, how many friends and family bring up that I should do something with social work...be a counselor, something. I've always known I've been good at that, too.

The problem is, that I'm little miss *Empath*. I feel & notice everything, without having to do much to do that. It can kick the heck out of me.

My social work friends switch to other departments frequently...because of the stress. One of them ditched her job & degree and is now a dog groomer, because of the stress.

The article was about people who are trained in family problems... and families themselves sometimes don't want to SEE someone, they want to communicate on the phone or the net. Sounds good to me. ;)

Oh, I know a bit of what you mean about empathy. it gets very difficult to deal with some situations... the folks at my missing kids gig are either on the road to burnout or apathy.

the net/phone solution is a nice one!

That's what sad about helping. You want to help, but some things are so bad that it changes you as a person in some life changing ways...not in a positive way.

Do you think your job has made you chance in a noticable way? I mean..do you get angry sometimes at seeing this stuff constantly..and does it stay with you? (I remember you said that not all cases were molestation...but even the amount you do see I wonder about).

I will catch you later...I have to round the babies up in the one A/C'd room (it's 100 degrees!) that I have. They get games & lovin' time after that. :D

later, tater!

I'd say that the people I interact with have changed me more than the job I do has altered me.

I'm pretty hardwired to the point that molestation, rapists and kidnappers are framed in my mind as "broken parts of society that have to be removed if they can't be repaired". I don't worry too much about them.

My big concert is when broken parts start to break other parts. the kids.

I'd say that I think more about parents not paying attention or kids that think that they can handle themselves when they run off... it just doesn't work. If I had a kid, I'd have them trackable six ways to sunday. (and only have them know about 2 of the ways.)

Haha..no matter what I try, I'm unable to break my thoughts down into small sentences like you do. ;)

Good thing I type as fast as the wind. :D
