Local news that is interesting...other things too!

Baby wanders out of sitter’s home with all doors locked and falls into the backyard swimming pool! How could this happen, you ask? Apparently, the toddler, who did survive this parental nightmare, had snuck out the doggy door! Parents should be made aware of this additional unsafe egress from your homes.
I never wanted one personally, a doggy door that is, even when I was working and had a fenced in yard my fear was not that my dog or dogs would go out anytime that they might want to, it was the fear of what critters or small burglars could possibly gain entry, something to think about.

Next story is that Wheel of Fortune is here in our state with their show actually live from Sea World in Orlando, but not really Orlando, since that is really Lake Buena Vista and not really live either, but live on tape, whatever that means. Local news’s caster has interviewed Pat and Vanna and found out that the job is even easier than we all thought; they only film all those shows 35 days a year for the year!

For any of you in any part of this country who may be reading this we too have a bunch of homes here that were built with that Chinese Drywall that has hit the fan as being another gift from China that is dangerous and unhealthy. It seems this sheetrock stinks of sulfur, rotten eggs, and destroys copper and electrical wires and all other fixtures that count within your walls. This is a national problem and supposedly the time span of the drywall entering these United States was during the 2004- 2005 period, yep you got it our building surge and rebuilding during and after those nasty two years of hurricanes down here, over 6K homes have been affected, infected. Oh did I mention humans are also becoming ill from this stuff, respiratory difficulties seemed to be the most common malady.

My husband has assured me that our home is free and clear of this sheetrock, since none of our copper coils show any of those symptoms or deterioration, and I have a very capable nose in smelling out weird odors, thank heavens! Since our home was rebuilt in 2004 I was certainly concerned, whew I am glad that we are OK.
Really, who needs anymore problems?

Today we all went out for a massive haircut day, Skipper to the groomer, hubby to the barber and me to the hair salon we are all now much spiffier.
We also went on somewhat of a treasure hunt for me to locate some things I need now in my new body form, a lighter coffee mug that is microwave safe and a shower brush of some sort to help me reach my hair to use to shampoo both are needed now to help me accomplish those simple tasks due to my shoulders getting worse and not allowing me to reach or carry the weight that I used to, ironstone is way too heavy and painful. The brush for my hair was not as difficult as one might think a back or washing shower brush, just hope those bristles won’t tangle my hair, ouch! But the cup or mug has not been found yet after many tries in many stores. I have found light but not microwave safe and vice versa, frustrating.
The search will go on, switching to an online search most likely starting tomorrow.

Pirates tried to take an American container ship, but the crew fought back, but they still got away with the ship’s Captain Phillips this was all happening off the coast of Somalia.

On that horrid note I will wish you all good night, and to all count those blessings and I will too!
