Your first subject

Oh, Shels! Don't feel badly about your decision! Cesar will be fine and it sounds like it is something you've given a lot of thought to. I'm relieved, to be honest. I thought you and Edwin were having problems and that your decision was in regard to that. Praise God that it isn't! I'm happy to have thought wrong!

I sure hope you get feeling better, too.

Good to see ya, Dale!

He ran from me to the street the other night, liked to have had a heart attack...just other stuff...
It breaks my heart and dread saying good bye, but it is best for him & us...I'm not as active as he needs either...
Life will better for everyone & most of all, Cesar. This is hard but ... he has a long life ahead...

Sooooo. this is the decision///I am so sorry for u and Cesar, now I know why ur kids r sad. There isn't a dog in the world that doesn't have some problems. maybe a quiet dog that just wants to cuttle is for u and family. There r breeds out there if u look into it that have good temperments. I think tho u have to go to a breeder.
I wish I lived close. I would love to have adopted Cesar, but as u know, I am a totally moosh with animals. I am glad poor Kelly is gone and finally home, but even tho Ian won;t admit it, he will be lonely and sad without her. Kelly was attached to Ian at the hip. It was cool to see, but Ian's temperment isn;t one that can handle that well. As for my pets, they r relaxed and not feeling that their attention is nt being taken away. Mishy, I do understand, and I am sure with Wanda's help, he will find a wonderful home.

Hi guys. I know I have not been around much but I do care about you folks and hate to see some of you sad or disappointed. I never saw this kind of thread as the same kind of thing as OW3 at all, that is and was a public room with all kinds dropping in and out and post at your own risk because you never know what lurks in there or just around the corner and for all the world to see. It's been mostly a decent place for the past year or so and there are a couple of constants which are that most of the links get posted, so yes, there is good information. And it is fairly deliberately impersonal, a few people have each other's emails but it's definitely nothing like it was early on, nor is it much like this thread or the others you all have started. There are still folks on there who get stalked by trolls, there are still haters who post 800 dim bulbs to someone they don't like.

These threads, in comparison, are loosely based on the case yes, but are more based on the friendships that have been forged, and caring for one another even through trials and tribulations. Some of you are disappointed at how seldom others come in, and some just don't come in much anymore because when they do they usually find themselves the only one here. I generally can only drop in now and again at night, I can look at stuff like topix from work at times, but don't do sites where I have to log in from there. So I just come in late and see how y'all are doing, usually when you are not here. I am sorry for the illnesses and sadnesses that are going on with some of you or your families and I hope only for the best for you. You are such good people. There is not failure here. There is, I think, only love here and I for one hope not to disappoint anyone by my infrequency. Some of my dearest friends from my whole life are only in touch with me a couple times a year, and I understand that, it's the way things go when our individual lives intervene. Children, pets, relationships, illnesses, bad weather, moving, school, work, all these things make up all of our daily lives, some are more time consuming, some are harder to bear than others sometimes. But this thread is not a failure even if nobody is here that much, or if someone drops out, this thread is something put together by people who care about each other. I know the numbers have dwindled since your original thread but I am certain that these folks still care, whether they each come by with regularity or not. (((((Hugs)))))) to Dale, Dy, Nana De, Dottie, Kaci, Mish, Mad, Linda, and all your families and by gosh I hope I am not leaving anyone out. But God Bless all of you and I hope to drop by and read wonderful things are happening for all of you in this new year. I've been more on the outer edge of this circle rather than in the core, but you all have always made me feel good and welcome and have been very caring.Thank you!

Hi again folks, just seeing if anyone has been in. I am sorry that I have missed you all.

Mish, I am sorry that you are having to give up Cesar. But sounds like he will be OK, and you will be too. Your beautiful kids will get back to normal before you know it. Maybe now was just not the time. Hugs to all of you. Take care.

All is fine with my dog...i still have him, yesterday morning i saw a car pass by me on the road with a dog enjoying the fresh air...made me tear up...as i drove into my driveway, a man was walking his queensland...we had a conversation, i knew it was for me to keep him for now to try more for him to calm down for us...amazing how certain ppl even a stranger can appear before us at that right moment.
Life is good except for this terrible bug lingering...i need to call my dr. for some antibiotic before i cough my brain out...
Going to lay down, have a good day...and peace...ppl suffering in the world like we will never have to.

Aw, Mish that is sweet. I'm sure he will continue to be trying but I hope you can work it out. How old is he again? Before I had a baby, I fostered dogs from the shelter when they were running out of room and somebody had to go. Three of the four that I fostered were young male dogs between about 6 months and a year. They were all very exhuberent and fairly untrained, I think they just must have driven their owners nuts and ended up back in the shelter. They all responded really well to crate training and some basic obedience that I started and their eventual owners finished, and they are all just wonderful dogs, they just had to get through that awful stage. And i know with some breeds that stage takes like up to two years and makes you want to scream though! My last foster of that sort was my last foster because I had him so long nobody ever adopted him and he became ours. With three dogs and a baby (and we used to have a couple cats) that pretty much maxed out our household so no more fostering. But if I ever do it again I am sure there will be no shortage of those crazy young dogs who hit "that" stage where they are no longer calendar cute cuddlies but they can not yet behave themselves. The foster who became "our" dog, Bo, "ate" a large plastic cooler in the yard, the vinyl siding off the house, (no kidding, and it was that corner piece that the other pieces hook into, so it made those pieces fall down, argh!) the PHONE, and countless shoes. He was such a PITA. Truth be told he still can be, in that he has no short term memory so when the sweet lady next door knocks on the door he acts like she is an axe murderer or something and barks to scare the HECK out of everyone. BUT, he is my three year old's absolute favorite, he is absolutely trustworthy, and she loves him beyond reason. I trust him with her implicitly and she can pull on him or do whatever she wants and he's as gentle as a lamb with her. So sweet.

Anyway... I am glad you have had a change of heart, he probably just needs some training and exercise, and that can be fun to do. But I also know that's all very time consuming, and you are a busy lady, and you gotta do what you gotta do that is right for your family and your life and your heart.

So sorry that you are sick, hope you can shake it very soon.

Thanks Cobbles...: ) yea, walked even longer this morning in the sunshine so it was even greater.
We had a huge bulldog? charge at us...whew...next time I will take my golf club...
He is doing somewhat better...it has been my fault for being too stubborn with the cold weather for walks...I know Cesar Millan came to my home he would first say do you walk him & it is your fault not his.
He is over a year now actually, so maybe it will happen, as my older girl says...suddenly one day he will "get it"...i'm waiting...and trying to not give up so easily...These days I try to not give up on things & people on such quick impulse...in my heart I know I will regret it.
Thanks for your story...is very uplifting : )

What happened here?

I don't know, maybe it's my breath? You are the only one who's been in in the last few days. Well I think Kaci said she is coming back and that some are taking breaks? I hope some folks check in soon.

Your quote above, about not giving up on ppl and situations so easily, is very profound, and you are a wise woman.

oMG////.....LORD, HAVEN'T BEEN ON SO LONG I FORGOT TO TYPE/....oh Mishy, u still have little Cesar? I am so confused! Dy has been trying to call u, and De if u get on, she has tried to call u too, but no one is answering their phones....we sit on the phone at nite for hrs....while dy has been out of work, I have taken advantage and have had long, joking talks on the phone...dy has been so sick, but is on the mend, so i am sure she will be on here soon.
Jamie I said "hi" to ya on Oh well and Everything else.....got on there just to be with Dave once in awhile, but u r right, here we r friends, very loving friends..it is special, and feel so guilty by not being here...I miss everyone.
Hay BB, whats up with ya...miss u a lot!!
De honey bunny, how is Dottie, and I see Mad/David is on the games now...what? r we nuts?

Hey all. It's a rainy Sunday here. Not too cold though and the new woodstove is burning! Yay! I hope everyone is doing well. Good to hear that Dy is doing better. Mish I hope you are doing OK. Hi to everyone.
Dale glad to see you back. I am starting afresh with WW and hope to take off that last 10 lbs I have been struggling with. At least. I hope I can do it. I don't do enough exercise!

Thank you Dale for being there through my sickness, don't know what I would have done without your help.

Please take good care of you. Lots of friends here having some tough times. THank you for posting the links, that's like old times. I will find one too...

TIM MILLER TALKS CANDIDLY ABOUT DONNA BROCK; AND THE MISTY CUMMINGS TAPES EXPOSED


January 21, 2010 by Steph
SUNDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 P.M., only on blogtalkradio.com/Watts-Up-With-This
Tune in to my radio show Sunday night for a live candid interview with Texas EquuSearch founder, Tim Miller. He will talk candidly about Donna Brock, the woman now charged, along with Misty Croslin and Ronald Cummings, in an undecover drug sting. Donna use to work for Miller, and was working as a “double agent,” by befriending Misty Croslin and providing information to the Putnam County Sherriff’s Dept. After a road rage incident, and my reporting of Donna Brock distributing drugs to Misty while on a interview in NY, Miller released brock for TES, and the police no longer required her services. But Brock continued her “friendship” with Misty, spiraling out of control, and ending up jailed in a drug sting operation.
Also, in another exclusive interview, Jacgue Hollander heard all the illegal wire tap tapes Brock made of Misty Croslin. Hollander will relay, in detail what she heard on those tapes and how she belives Brock knows where Haliegh Cummings is. Will Brock sing like a church brid now that the long arm of the law has caught up with her?? You’ll hear this ONLY on “watts-Up-With-This??”!!!!!

Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin, the father and former stepmother of missing Florida toddler Haleigh Cummings were arrested late yesterday, January 20, 2010, on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription medications, and now face more than 25 years in the slammer.
Also arrested and charged were Hank Croslin Jr. (Misty’s Brother), Hope A. Sykes and Donna Brock. All were arrested Wednesday, according to a news release issued by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department.
Putnam police said an undercover officer purchased large quantities of prescription medications on several occasions in an undercover sting operation in effect over the last month. The estimated street value of the Oxycodone and Hydrocodone is $3,900. Cummings and Croslin were arrested Wednesday after prescription meds were purchased by undercover investigators, the others were arrested on warrants later that night.
CHARGES BELOW
Misty Janette Croslin, DOB: 12/09/1991 –
Six (6) Counts of trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond – $950,000.00)
Ronald Lemyles Cummings, DOB: 10/29/1983 –
Three (3) Counts of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond – $500,000.00)
Hank “Tommy” Croslin Jr., DOB: 08/02/1986 –

Hope A. Sykes, DOB: 03/24/1991 – One (1) Count of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond – $150,000)
Donna Brock – One (1) Count of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond – $250,000.00)
This comes as no suprise to me, and it comes on the heals of me notifying law enforcement over 2 weeks ago that Donna Brock, Misty’s “friend” was supplying her with illegal drugs while on a trip to NY and attempting to sell illegally obtained audio tapes she had recorded of her conversations with Misty.
If convicted as charged, Ronald Cummings, Misty Croslin and Donna Brock could receive a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years in state prison. The others can receive minimum sentences ranging from three years to 15 years in state prison. Ronald Cummings is the father of Haleigh Cummings, the little girl who disappeared in early 2009 and has not been found. Misty Croslin, who was the last person to see Haleigh before she disappeared, later married Ronald, but the two divorced months later. Donna Brock, a former search volunteer, who was recently banished from the search group Texas EquuSearch, had befriended Misty Cummings in an attempt to get her to talk about what happened the night little Haleigh disappeared. Donna wore wire taps, and was attempting to sell to the media audio tapes of her conversations with Misty Cummmings, to no avail.

Well looks like Nancy's Ronny lied to her

Hi Ladies.
Yes, hope to God that this latest breaks the case on Haleigh. Has been way too long. Also, Chrystal may not be Mother of the Year but I SO HOPE that woman can get ahold of herself, get clean, and get her son away from those people, they are a MESS, they are responsible for whatever it was that happened to Haleigh, the whole area seems to be a hotbed of drugs and crime and underage sex and parenting, and enablers, that poor kid Junior needs to get the heck out of there and away from that whole town and family. But from Chrystal's past record she's not a ton better. I hope that her love for Haleigh and Junior might bring her to a point where she can find a support system and get clean for the sake of her children. - Oh, and WTF is up with Misty and Ron being together again? Does the sanctity of divorce mean nothing to them? (sarcasm, sorry..)

Dy, hope you are feeling better and that work didn't take too much out of you. Dale, so proud of your weight loss. And hope your dog can cool it and be good for you. Mish, hope you are doing well. Nobody else been back since I have been here. Hugs to all of you.

YIPPY I AYE, or however u say it.......Misty and Ron will pay for HALEIGH, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER......apparently,Chrystal went to court, and was granted custody of Junior....this was on Nancy last nite. Lord I hope with all this media attention. she will try to be a good Mom to Junior. I am so sure poor Haleigh died of drug overdose. God, it is so amazing those white trash haven't been stupid enouph to spill the beans. Florida seems to be a hot bed of "trash", drugs etc. ( sorry De. we know u r special, Dottie too!)
Yea, our Mica is back!!! And it is so cool to see u here alot Jamie....
Everyone have a great day...Dy, hope ur shift was an easy one, and that ur OK
Off to clean customer's house, then will try to fin ish drawing I started of my dogs, but will be back tonite..hope rest of the crew comes back!!!

Sorry you are not feeling well! Me not so good either - finally got my H1N1 shot a couple days ago and have had a wicked stiff neck since the next morning. Ow.

I hope more of you come back or are at least reading here. I can see why some stop though, nobody likes to feel like they are talking to themselves... but I just want to say Hi and that I hope you are doing OK.

Well, hi guys. I just want you all to know that I wish you well always even if I do not get to "see" you again here. I wish you all and those you love health and happiness. I am sorry that things fell apart here to some extent and I hope that you all are still in touch through other avenues if it is meaningful to you. If any of you come back to Cookies or OW it's a pretty good environment (mostly) lately. Still public so there are trolls of course but for the most part they are staying somewhat on topic and posting informative links and thoughts.

We had an unusual snow event in VA last weekend. It was wonderful to play with my little daughter in the snow! She loved it and who knows when we will get the chance again!

I just caught the end of Nancy Grace. Looks like maybe they will finally get something out of Ron or Misty. Will not hold my breath though, those two are so unintelligent and drug addled I am not sure they can even remember what happened a year ago.

Well, take care all. Be well.

WOW.....THE FATHER OF SUSPECT OF THE MURDER OF NATALIE HOLLOWAY DIED SUDDENLY........I have no compassion. He helped his son get away with murder!!!!!!!

I want to apoligize to some friends, since i have had no health insurance, i have been off my antidepressent meds....at first it was fine, but slowly depression has seeped into my brain....it is out of control, I have lost my zest for life, and have stayed home avoiding just about everything. It has come to a head when neighbors complained about dogs barking, called police, and now i am totally paranoid when letting dogs out. I KNOW I have to get help, don't know yet how, but will be in touch with therapist today, and pray she accepts cash so i can get new perscript. I need so badly a thread and to talk with friends.....Dy and i have thought about going back to GARDEN......please, please help us get back together!!!!!!!

Jamie, if u have the link to the garden, please post!!!!!

Dale, I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been yourself! Please take good care of yourself and see your docs etc before this gets any worse. You are a good person and you take good care of the pets, etc, don't let your neighbors complaints get to you too much. I was visiting with one of my neighbors yesterday and could hear my own dogs barking and I winced some, they are not even out that much but I can see if you are not a dog person it could get annoying. But anyway it sounds like you are just in a sensitive state of mind... that is OK but try not to dwell too much on the negative things.

I was never in the garden thread I only made it as far as the grill and "grandma" found me long after I had been left behind. If it's a topix thread I don't know if I want to converse in the open way that we did on these private forums... topix is just too public and there are trolls who take little bits of info and try to use them against you later - I don't know - it's not cool the way those operate. I think these private threads were much more personal and etc. I hope that you and the others who are on facebook or emailing each other can keep similar touch that way if possible and if nobody wants to come back here...

Just checking in.... Hope you all are OK.
