You get what you give!
I have always believed you get what you give in life. For example, if you are mean to people then sometime in life someone will be mean to you. If you want to call it an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth kind of thing, so be it., Usually, you do not get to see people get (for lack of a better word) PAYBACK for how they have treated people in the past. Well last night was a first for me, I actually got to see a person who was mean to me in the past get a type of payback and she knew I saw her at a low time in her life. I did not feel happy in regards to her situation but I do know that it bothered her that I saw her in a bad situation. Oh well, maybe this will knock some sense into her head and she will start being nicer to people.

Hayes shows no signs of mental illness, Dix officials say
Michael Hayes doesn't show signs of a mental illness and does not appear to be a danger to society, two mental-health professionals testified Monday in a hearing in Forsyth Superior Court to determine if Hayes should be released from Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.
Hayes killed four people and wounded five others in a 1988 shooting spree on Old Salisbury Road. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and has spent the past 20 years at Dorothea Dix Hospital being treated for mental illness. In 2007, after a hearing, Judge Steve Balog ordered him recommitted to the hospital. In 2008, Hayes waived his right to a hearing and appealed Balog's ruling. Last year, the N.C. Court of Appeals ruled that Hayes could be discharged from Dorothea Dix "with conditions," if a local judge approves it.
Until that ruling, the judge's only options were to recommit Hayes to the hospital or release him with no checks on his behavior.
At issue in today's ruling is if Hayes should be recommitted, released without conditions or released with conditions.
Charles Vance and Mark Hazelrigg, who work at Dorothea Dix, both reaffirmed their testimony from 2007 that Hayes has no current signs of a mental illness and is not a danger to the public. But under cross-examination, they acknowledged that there is a risk that Hayes could be violent again.
Comment:
He wasn't crazy when he committed these crimes, he was high as a kite. Even the W-S Journal printed the cocktail of drugs that he was on. He should be released to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell at Central Prison in Raleigh. What is our world coming to? Are we going to release a man who killed and injured numerous people?
Tell me what you think.

Catherine Bach's husband dies in apparent suicide
LOS ANGELES— A successful entertainment attorney who was married to actress Catherine Bach was found dead in an apparent suicide Friday, coroners officials said.
Peter Lopez, 60, died of a gunshot wound at his home in the Encino Hills, coroner's office operations chief Craig Harvey said.
A neighbor reported hearing a shot and someone at the home found Lopez's body, coroners officials said.
Bach and her two daughters suffered a "tragic personal loss," said her publicist, Steve Rohr.
Bach played Daisy Duke in the 1980s TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Lopez was Michael Jackson's music attorney for several years, according to Alfred Newman, a spokesman for the firm Lopez helped found, Kleinberg Lopez Lange Cuddy & Klein. He also represented The Eagles, Andrea Bocelli and Michael Buble.
"We are deeply shocked and saddened by the unexpected loss of our friend and partner," the firm said in a statement.
Lopez worked with singers, record producers and songwriters and was a co-producer of the Jennifer Lopez film "Selena," a biopic about the beloved Tejano singer who was killed by the president of her fan club.
Raymone Bain, Michael Jackson's former general manager, said she hired Peter Lopez in 2006 as Jackson's entertainment attorney when she was reorganizing the singer's business affairs.
"I'd known Peter for 20 years," she said. When she was searching for a new legal team she said another of her clients, R&B singer Babyface, recommended Lopez.
I can't think of a nicer individual," she said. "He was a good guy. I'm just so shocked."She said Lopez traveled with her and Jackson to London for the World Music Awards and spoke to the singer quite often.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Lopez to the California State Athletic Commission, which regulates boxing, and as the director of the California Exposition and State Fair Board.
Lopez attended UCLA Law School.

POLITICAL PHONE CALLS
Why is it that during elections my phone starts ringing off of the hook? These candidates call my house asking for me to vote for them. For all of you candidates out there, LISTEN UP- Please do not call my house because I have already decided who I am voting for. I figured out this information by listening what all of the ads say about what all of you stand for and I research your interests and then I compare them to mine. Your phone call will not change my mind on who I am voting for.

Why is it that at most jobs co-workers try to stab each other in the back? Why do we not believe in teamwork but we believe in throwing someone under the bus so we can get ahead? Speak your mind.

People who borrow things!
Recently, I let a friend borrow a dvd and it has been at least 2 months and it has not been returned. I have asked and asked for my dvd to be returned but to no avail. People when you borrow someone's property then you need to return it in a timely matter. It's doesn't matter what it is, you need to RETURN IT.
Due to this incident I will be hesitant to let someone borrow anything in the future.

Pakistani group claims NYC car bomb responsibility
Can you believe this? Here we go again. Why is it that these countries cannot get along? Our world is going to hell in a hand basket and nobody is doing anything about it. We need to do something about these terrorists because we are not safe in our own country.
