Becca, I agree with you! While it is sad and tragic, the unfortunate headline "asleep at the reins" was just too much.

Sorry Folks if I offend but even in the most tragic of circumstances I often find humor. I blame this on my best friend's Dad who would go to funerals and you'd see a crowd gathered where Charlie had everyone laughing......sometimes at the expense of the deceased! Please understand that I certainly see the sadness in the Amish story, but that headline was ridiculous and worthy of a chuckle (for me).

Last week, Karen's Mom fell in St. Martin hitting the back of her head. They suspect she was brain dead as soon as she fell, but they life-flighted her to Atlanta to a specialist her employer knew. Thing is, the life-flight had to clear through Miami and they had to take her through customs.   Sorry, but that made me laugh and it eased the tension when I said, "What were they expecting her to declare?" Please don't explain.... I know why they did it.

Like Jeri, I think they're after ol' Rush, but the fact he needs Viagra and carries it under another person's name was a bit too much!
