it is, and Suze I never thought you felt anything negative for me. Just like all the love I have for you. And I'm glad you can see it so benignly. I guess, we view things the same, but with different words. What I view as truth, holds no anger, only analytical indifference. Things are what they are. And there's no point in colouring it a different way. But I do like the "Ghost" analogy though. It definitely makes sense to me. I just wish that a lot more people were as compassionate as you. This world would definitely be a much brighter and more wonderful place to be.

wow Dianna, you've turned into a real bitch.
Gee.. I go away for awhile and come back to that? Honey, I haven't turned in to anything. You have no idea who I am. I 've probably working on that title since you were in diapers. I quit being a doormat in 1970. So what did I say to set you off this time?
P.S. I'm not a bitch, I'm THE bitch and it's MS. bitch to you. In other words, I really am a nice person as long as you treat me decent. Fuck with me, my family or my friends and it's a whole new ballgame.

UPDATE.........
Accused baby scammer pleads guilty Kevin Murphy, The Republican Eagle Published Tuesday, January 13, 2009 MADISON, Wis. -
A Red Wing woman who told four women that she had a baby to adopt when, in fact she didn't, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to four counts of wire fraud.
Melissa Christiansen, 31, formerly of Maiden Rock, was indicted in August with scheming to obtain an unspecified amount of money from four women by e-mailing, instant messaging or phoning them that she was pregnant and wanted to place her infant up for adoption.
Although selling an infant is illegal, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Altman, the case against Christiansen is about wire fraud, which is making false representations by electronic communication in order obtain to money. RELATED CONTENT The Republican Eagle Talk About It Icon Article comments (7) According to the indictment:
In September 2003, Christiansen contacted a woman in Hot Springs, Ark., and a woman in Fredericksburg, Va., about their adopting her baby. Christiansen phoned a woman in Thornton, Texas in November and December 2003, about adopting her baby and in July 2006, Christiansen emailed and phoned a Granton, Ohio woman about adoption.
Christiansen asked the women for and received money for phone bills, travel, bail and other items.
Some of the women sent Christiansen small amounts of money, $200 to $250, for bail, Altman said.
The amount of money involved is still being totaled. The victims may travel to Madison to attend Christiansen's April 1 sentencing, according to a spokesperson in the U.S. Attorney's office.
Altman declined to say how Christiansen was caught, but before she was indicted her victims appeared on the "Dr. Phil" television show and explained their contacts with Christiansen. The recording of the show was evidence in the case and turned over to the defense.
Altman wouldn't comment on the evidentiary value of the women's' comments on the show, but told a reporter "it's pretty clear. You should watch it."
Christiansen moved from Maiden Rock to Red Wing this summer where she remains on bail and attends college, said her attorney, federal defender Michael Lieberman. Lieberman declined further comment Tuesday.
Christiansen's case was scheduled for trial on Feb. 9. She faces maximum statutory penalties of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years on probation and restitution when sentenced before District Judge Barbara Crabb.
Her actual sentence isn't expected to approach 20 years and will be based on advisory guidelines, which factor in the seriousness of the offense, the amount of time involved, the defendant's character and criminal history.

Thrash... Please at least quote in context. I didn't say that. You made it sound like it was me. Thanx.

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come off that way ... I meant that I thought that APRIL FOOL'S DAY, for a SCAMMER, was a funny day for sentencing ...

Dianna, I was referring to the way you speak to zoomie. ....he lives here, you know?
He came into this thread 1 1/2 years after it was started. He attacked me...I defended myself. I'm the bitch?
We must all remember that we have all been victims at some time in our lives. Drugs, alcohol, abusive relationships, sexual abuse. We attack the cause not the one who was lured by it. Ask yourself what kind of person are you? Do you attack the cause or do you attack the victim. The end point is that the people that Melissa/Bella hurt have overcome. They are living their lives, but they are not letting her get away with the crimes that she perpetrated on them.
Thrash... it is funny. BUT that is also my wedding anniversary. To have to share it with her.....ewwww! (We figured since it was a second marriage for both of us, we had to be fools to do it.) So far...10 years later it's still working.

No.
For once I'm going to disagree with suzie. I think she's totally hot for a woman in my age group and brilliantly insane thanks to years of drug abuse. And she probably has, hands down, the nicest rack in North Florida outside of Raphael's Silver Cloud Lounge and Female Cabaret. But she's wrong. You dear lady, are not a bitch.
You're a cunt. You're worse. You're a cunty cunt. No one cares what this woman did to you. Here's a clue: Take your cunty cunt cunt to Wordpress.com and blog about it. All the fiber in Baltimore couldn't make me give a shit about you.
ThrashInc might have the ugliest default theme, and 50 more choices to back it up but what it desperately needs is a cunt-ignore button.
And I shouldn't be drinking when I just quit smoking.
