Good afternoon, ladies! What is going on around here? I leave for less then 24 hrs and all hell breaks loose! We were being singled out on the thread HLL started as being a man bashing site. Isn't that a joke? When have we ever bashed men? Maybe a specific man like Chelsea's beau, Ian, but we are man friendly over here I always thought.

Daisy, I think Jenna is just fed up with the press. I agree and think she is so cute, but everytime there is a picture of her any place she ends up being critiqued from head to toe. Not to mention all the constant drunk jokes.

Y'all have to hear what happened to me yesterday. I ran out about 2:30 my time to just do a little shopping. I came back about 4:00 and pulled into my parking lot and saw a baby running through the parking lot in nothing but a diaper! He was about 2ish and obviously had been out for a while because he was all pink and very dirty. I pulled into a space and called 911 on my cell phone. Since it was on my cell phone the call went to another towns 911 center, so I told them who covers our area gave them my address and cell # and he said he would call that center. Guys, this little boy was so cute! He was blonde and had big blue eyes and just looked like a cherub! It broke my heart to know he could be gone so long and no one would be looking for him! I ran over to him because he was playing right next to the edge of the water. I steered him back over to the swings. He was pretty shy and wouldn't tell me his name.

Then, not just one police car showed up, three or four police cars showed up, two fire trucks, an 2 ambulances and the fire marshall all were there in about 5-10 minutes. They said no one had reported a missing child. To make a long story short, (I know, too late!) a family was staying with someone who lived in one of the units and this was thier baby. Neighbors had called the police on three seperate occasions to report that this person wasn't taking care of thier children (there is a little girl also), but supposedly they had no reason to charge this person with anything until now. I don't know what happened after they found the family, but about 7-10 police and fire fighters and EMT's were in his condo for a really long time. It's a shame that people have children they obviously don't want. This little boy was such a doll I couldn't believe anyone wouldn't care what happens to him. It really broke my heart.

I have been busy this morning boxing things up for Texana Red. I am sending some dishes, pots and pans, silverware, linens and clothes.

I can only imagine how horrible it would be to lose everything in a flood or fire.

I also included a Bed Bath and Beyond gift basket with a card from all of us at The Guild. I felt it was the least we could do. I will go look for more things to send. Texana Red has to start from scratch.

I am waiting to hear when she will be in her temporary home before I send things. The post office will be holding her mail, but I don't want to take advantage of the situation. If any of you would like to send household items, let me know and I will send you her address.

We all have so many blessings but one of our biggest blessings is the ability to take away the pain of others.
