Just to entice you to see this video (actually a series of videos), at the end Daniel Radcliffe gets his head chopped off.

Guess what...I live in NJ, I survived the blizzard, and I still think 23 F

To any of my friends who may be worried about me, the shooting in Tucson occurred only half a mile from my home at the Safeway where I usually shop but I'm okay and so is my family. I was at that store last night, but, fortunately, I wasn't there today. If you believe in God, please pray for Gabrielle Giffords, the Arizona Congresswoman wounded in the attack and for the families of those who were killed, including a federal judge, John Roll, and a nine-year-old girl.

Carol,

I'm so glad you are okay.  What's happening in this country these days is
so tragically sad...people shooting and stabbing other people rather than
writing letters and trying to solve their problems and complaints like
mature beings.  (Don't get me started on this topic!!!!)

I've lifted a prayer for Gabrielle. 

Hugs,

Lee

Carol responds:

Thanks, Lee and Tonya. The good news is that the bullet went through only the left hemisphere of her brain (back to front) so it didn't cross hemispheres. She's on a ventilator and half her skull has been removed to allow the brain room to swell, but when the doctors periodically wake her from her medically induced coma, she can respond by small gestures like raising two fingers or squeezing someone's hand. The doctors, as you've probably heard, are "cautiously optimistic." The other patients who were injured are now out of ICU. I wish the same could be said for the six who died.

I never thought that something like this could happen in my town, much less so close to home.

Carol, thanking everyone for your thoughts and prayers

Hi,

Turned out the New Jersey woman, Phyllis Schnek (SP?) was a friend of my
husband's best friends.  In the summers she lived at Green Pond, NJ which
isn't a whole lotta far from us, was active with their chapel and had
several dinners with Dick & Joan, my husband's friends.  They, and we, are
heart-broken as we see how small and connected the world is these days.
So, we grieve the loss of Phyllis and all the good things she did.

Go Carefully!

Lee

I may not care to lead;   | N2FGC
Do not walk before me,    | n2fgc at arrl.net (or)
I may not care to follow; | n2fgc at optonline.net

Carol responds:

Thanks for thinking of me. Ironically, I didn't know anything about it because I hadn't turned on the TV and didn't hear any sirens. I was on my way to see DH before the theaters stopped showing it--I'd given up on getting anyone to go with me and decided to go to a matinee performance by myself. I couldn't get out of the parking lot because the entrance to Oracle Road was blocked. I saw a police car and what looked like a fender bender, so I took a different route to the movie theater. When I got home, I saw the flag at half mast and found a message on my answering machine asking me to call her and let her know that I was okay. When I asked her what was going onnd she told me that Gabrielle Giffords had been shot, I couldn't believe it. I still can't. If she were a radical or a reactionary, I could at least understand someone hating her, but she's a moderate and a strong advocate for bipartisan legislation! I was also shocked to find out *where* the shooting occurred--the very Safeway store where I had bought groceries the night before. It's still unreal to me. But thank God Gabby Giffords is young, only forty, so she has a better chance than someone older of pulling through. And the bullet didn't cross the hemispheres of her brain. I'm afraid she may have some sort of speech impairment, but it looks as if she'll live.

I'm sad that the same can't be said for Judge Roll and little Christina Green and the other four innocent people that Jared Loughner murdered. (Yes, I know that he's officially "the suspect," but there's no question of his guilt.)

For those of you who aren't familiar with Gabrielle Giffords, she's also, among other things, the wife of an astronaut whose twin brother, also an astronaut, is on board the space shuttle Enterprise; the first Jewish Congresswoman from Arizona; and, I just learned, Gwyneth Paltrow's second cousin.

Carol, wondering why things like this happen and how we can prevent them

The guy is obviously very disturbed, you can't expect to understand him, Carol. It seems he went to a public meeting with her a few years ago, asked her a question and didn't like the answer. I guess for a mentally unstable person this is reason enough to shoot her and everyone around her. It must be a scary thought for you that you could have been there at the time of the shooting.

Carol again:

Right on all counts. His question to Gabby Giffords was, "What is government if words have no meaning?" How on earth can anyone answer that, yet he called her stupid for "failing" to answer his question.

And, yes, it's very scary to think that a place that I used to go to twice a week is now a crime scene. I wish I could talk to the Safeway clerks that I normally chat with as I stand in line to buy groceries (they know me by name) and ask them if they're okay. Apparently, anyone who was a witness, whether a customer, an employee, or the few people who attended the meet-and-greet and weren't killed or wounded, had to remain on the scene and undergo questioning. Some of them couldn't go home till seven in the evening and they'd been there since ten in the morning or earlier. (It's sort of like 9/11--many people weren't actual victims but were stuck in airports and couldn't go anywhere.)

I'm very lucky I wasn't there, but I still feel sick and sad every time I think about it. The good news is that Gabrielle Giffords is off the ventilator and breathing on her own, but she should be going about her daily business as a Congresswoman, not lying in a hospital bed. Even though the shooter is obviously mentally disturbed, I still ask--Why her, of all people? Why our kindest, most rational politician, always working for moderation and bipartisanship? No one deserves to be shot, obviously, but Arizona needs Gabrielle Giffords.

Carol, for whom January 8, 2011, is a day that will live in infamy

Well, I'm very happy that she survived - happy for her and her family, of course, but also glad that the shooter won't have the satisfaction...

Happy Birthday, Mike!
Friday January 14, 2011
All Day
(This event repeats every year.)

Notes:
*a cold and shivering Birthday Elf clad in a fur-line pillowcase pops out of a nearby snowbank*

If I can trudge through the snowbanks for this party, so can the rest of you! I know that Mike would trudge, or at least drive, through snow for us. *waves at Mike and is sorry to be flying over him this year and not riding a bus through town*

Today's birthday honouree is Mike. Birthday owls can be sent care of this list or directly to: mcrudele78 at yahoo.com

*starts putting a line of bubbling, smoking drinks on the bar*

Nibblies are over there on the side table. Yes, I know the cake looks like it will topple over but, trust me, it won't. :)

I hope your day is magical and all your birthday wishes are granted.

Happy Birthday, MIke!

Sheryll the Birthday Elf

Carol responds:

Absolutely, especially given his most recently discovered scrap of writing ("Die, b----!").

I just hope that his trial isn't declared a mistrial because he's already been tried in the media and found guilty on all counts. Obviously, there's more than enough evidence to convict him, but where will they find twelve objective jurors--at least for the state offenses, which require a trial by jury?

Carol, hoping that one of the lawyers on the list can tell us whether federal cases are tried by a judge or a jury

There's something missing here... I know!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday, filled with friends, family and much LUSH goodness.

Today's birthday honouree is Melbaluna. Birthday owls can be sent care of this list or directly to: holmesclan2002 at yahoo.com

Oh, we can't forget this!

Happy Birthday, Shaun!
Thursday January 20, 2011
All Day
(This event repeats every year.)

Notes:
*a distracted Birthday Elf dusts off the streamers, blows up more balloons and suspends glittery confetti in the air above the dance floor*

I is wondering if this party is being too early or too late. Shaun is living on the other side of the globe and Birthday Elvses are not good with time zones.

Today's birthday honouree is our very own List Elf Shaun. Birthday owls can be sent care of this list or directly to: drednort at alphalink.com.au

The music is all cued up, nibbles and beverages are waiting on the side table. 

See that awesomely tall cake? Yes, that one. Don't be eating it all before Shaun gets here!

Shaun, I hope your day is magical and brings many good things.

Happy Birthday, Shaun!

Sheryll the Birthday Elf
