Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

No questions to Moose? With luck, the press will be struck dumb as they were a couple days ago.

[Darlin']

hehehe. The real news would be if Blitzer knew.

[mystery-ak]

Wolf and Moose...LOL....Moose is taking no questions.....my guess he is speaking to the shooter.

[Howlin]

Well, I've been told to be quiet, to go to bed, among other things, and called a "picture licker".......we must be doing something right, girl friend!

Depends on the ball player, if it's the shortstop for the Cleveland Indians, Omar Vizquel, then it matters, otherwise no. :)

[Catspaw]

You'd BETTER say you were joking :-))

[tomkat]

that was a wise qualifier.
i was about to lob a graphic on ya ...

[Darlin']

Y'all are sooooo bad. LOL

[InvisibleChurch]

has the police department considered installing Caller ID for the next time the guy calls?

[MasonGal]

I've been flamed more than enough times in my 4 years here, myself. That's why it's been a LONG time since I've been an active poster. I'm just getting back into the swing of things again.

I can be a little too "thin-skinned" at times. I'm learning - and as I am getting older - my skin is getting a little "tougher". LOL

[snippy_about_it]

I saw that. What was that large white thing, looked like a blank billboard or giant white sheet hanging up in the field, police standing around and then they went to regular programming. aargh.

[Howlin]

Well, some people say if you're catching a ration, you're doing something right!

But I do notice that it's mainly the same ones over and over, the ones that complain about EVERY SINGLE THING on the face of the earth. Unhappy people.

[Catspaw]

You've got to be thick-skinned around here. Oh, yeah. But as my Mom used to tell me when I was a kid, "you've got to toughen up." Little does she know :-))

[snippy_about_it]

a picture licker?? Maybe I don't even want to know what that means. LOL.

[TexKat]

I saw that. What was that large white thing, looked like a blank billboard or giant white sheet hanging up in the field, police standing around and then they went to regular programming. aargh.

I know,I'm glad I was not the only one that saw that and I"ve got to run out and pick my daughter up from school. Please keep me informed.

[MasonGal]

LOL - Oh - I know - My mom used to tell me the same thing - she said that when I got older - I wouldn't let things get to me and that I would toughen up. She was right. (Although - I STILL have a LONG way to go).

[tomkat]

i started to ask also, but ...
lol

[snippy_about_it]

Sure, sure, take a shower too, we'll keep you informed. :)

[Howlin]

Oh, some people out there don't like the Daily Dose thread and openly mock it. That think "picture licker" is a smear to all of us.

[Howlin]

LOL...see above!
