Discussion Forum

Since many of the comments on several of my posts seem to end up being more of a “discussion” than anything else, I have created a discussion forum so that we can all talk about these crimes. I hope you will come on over. This is the place to talk about the gossipy stuff or the “whodoneit” type stuff. That does not belong here, as I wish this part to be for justice and the victim.

Our Discussion Forum

I am open to any and all suggestions on this. Also, please remember, this is the first time I have done this, so be nice!!

I have set up a quite few topics already. Any you want added, just let me know!

Update: Caylee Anthony: Phone Call?

Check out Trench’s post. I had not seen this. Very interesting. It made me recall a comment on my first post about this missing child. Could the grandmother know more than she is saying?

Did Caylee Call?

Andrea Curry-Demus: WOW! Tries to pass off newborn as her own while Kia Johnson’s body found in her apartment


                  Kia Johnson

Andrea Curry-Demus went to West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh for help with the newborn baby. The baby still had it umbilical cord attached and doctors said that she had not given birth. She finally admitted that was true. She then said that she paid a woman $1,000 for the baby. Then, the body of a woman with her hands bound was found in Andrea’s apartment. AND not only that, but Andrea has tried to do this before – she spent time in prison for stabbing a woman and trying to steal her baby girl. This woman was desperate.

OK, not my typical post! Just curious!

OK, this is not necessarily crime related! I read alot of blogs and websites, and of course, not all of them are crime related. But, most really are. I read the blogs of my fellow bloggers in Coalition of Crime Bloggers. I recommend each blog as they are all good! I cannot pick a favorite. You can’t make me! (OK, this week, it would be News of Doom, of course, since my kitties were the Kitties of Doom!). But I read all of them.

I also like these:

America’s Most Wanted
In Cold Blog
1947 Project
Crime Scene KC
The Doe Network
FBI
Death Penalty Information Center

Those are some of the crimes sites/blogs I go to.

Of course, since I am a huge football and hockey fan, I love all the sports sites and sports blogs, especially if they are related to my teams (Chicago Bears and Chicago Blackhawks). In fact, I have 2 sports related blogs (Bears & Blackhawks and This Chicks View on Sports, although I have not done much with them lately. I frequent the Bears home site, the Blackhawks, NFL.com, ESPN.com (have MyESPN page even), etc. I also play fantasy football, and have several teams! I am addicted to fantasy football! However, my favorite football sight (especially with their podcast) is NFL Rants and Raves. For me, it is THE BEST football podcast and fantasy football podcast there is, hands down. And they are hysterical!

I also go to recipe and cooking blogs alot. I love to cook and find new things to make for my husband. I also have a recipe blog, which has been fun. I love to get recipes for afternoon tea, also. I love tea and coffee, and discovered a tea room near me. My sister and I went today and it was great! It is a great experience, and I recommend going for those who love that kind of thing. Very relaxing. I have a few favorite recipe and cooking places:

The T-Cozy
Epicurious
Lidia’s Italy(I watch her on tv also)
Simply Cake (a wonderful blog on cakes)
Morning Coffee, Afternoon Tea
Teapots, Teapots, Teapots (I collect teapots, teacups & saucers, etc.)
Tea in my cup (lots of great recipes)

Besides these, I go to some entertainment places (usually IMDb.com and once in a while some of the gossipy kinds!). My guilty pleasure sites? MyDeathSpace and NY Post. Oh and yes, I do have a MySpace and a Facebook profile, but I don’t go there as often as I should.

So, where do you wander to online? I am curious! (However, no pornographic or offensive sites – I will ban you and remove your comments – this is for fun, not shock value)
