Late Spring Sunset on the Lake
Here are some shots I took recently from the beach. Ahhhh. Living on the lake in the winter is a bear; living here in the summer is heaven.
Comments
OMG! That is beautiful!

This is what I would call a "good way of living". By the way, contrary to the myths, I am really happy about your recent, humm, how can we call it, humm, achievements, Loretta. Real life real achievements. You sure deserve it (you know what I mean).
Hi to everybody!!
Sorry if I have been MIA lately here and at the Kitchen. Real life interruptus, indeed.
Hi to both MargarethS (hey Peggy, I saw you at my son's "UNupdated" Blog these days).
Happy belated Birthdays to CG and Vero! And Miss L., of course. And all my fellow Geminians.

Those pictures are amazing! One of these days I'll have to get myself up there to see it in person.

Howdy, Anne! I agree, Ms Lorelei is certainly showing us what life should be like. And, looking fantastic while she is doing it.
Missing her a bit, though.
Nadine, hope you is takin' care o'yo'self.
Posted by: Mgt | June 19, 2007 11:01 AM
Wow! That certainly makes the snow shoveling worth while. Living on the water is soothing to the soul.
Hey Anne,is the next edition going to be the first car? I hope not.
Mgt,glad to see you this am and I hope that you are feeling fine.
I'll be seeing you in person this summer,Loretta. I am waiting to hear about the surgery as that will set the time table as to when my help will be needed.
Love to all, seen and unseen.
Posted by: Peggy | June 19, 2007 11:16 AM
I'm doing fine, Peggy. Thanks for your concern.
Seeing your comment up there makes me wonder if the same can be said about you? Sending my very best wishes.
Posted by: Mgt | June 19, 2007 11:27 AM
Loretta - You now have my email address and I would invite you to contact me concerning the post you left on my blog.
The pictures are, btw, beautiful.

Waving Hello!
Beautiful pictures! I am fortunate to have seen it in person. Awesome!
I'm working and packing for our trip Saturday. We'll be on TableRock Lake for a whole week of boating and relaxing.

Does this name ring any bells with anyone:
Francesca C.... F
Age 42
Something-something street in H---, North Carolina.
Gee, I lived in Asheville for a time. She didn't sound Southern to me. More like Pittsburgh.
Thanks to Samantha/Shina, we received some interesting information about BabyGirl. Sic' the goons on me?

Beautiful Pictures!
Lot of odd things happening in North Carolina these days.
Posted by: vero | June 19, 2007 10:02 PM
That sunset is beautiful. I don't think I'd move from the beach with that kind of scenery.
Just lovely.

Hi everyone:
Are you guys somewhere that's invitation only? Knock, knock.
Posted by: Kneasles | June 19, 2007 10:23 PM
Hey, Kneasles. Yes, many of us that you may remember (with a few exceptions) are posting elsewhere.
We really don't have any choice. Even after 15...20...I don't know how many months (little inside joke, you may recall), I'm still getting harassed by some lunatics and idiots.
Not too many of them remaining in Muttville, but the last are the sickest of the sick.
I just don't have the patience for it and won't let them have any fodder for their grist mill.
Perhaps I'll consider "open enrollment" in the kitchen - our secret password-protected blob. We have a lot of fun in there.
It's a Mutt-Free, Idiot-Free Zone, of course.
Posted by: loretta | June 19, 2007 10:32 PM
Well, it's just too bad that a few nutcases have to ruin a good thing. I stop by periodically and I figured you were all there somewhere, inside out of the rain.
I always enjoyed your postings and all the comments.
Posted by: Kneasles | June 19, 2007 10:45 PM
Yeah, most of the gang's all there. I have thought about doing more entries in here (I do one every couple of days in the other blog, although they are much less serious and more personal than anything I can write in here anymore), and we are all very good friends.
If I had time to blog-sit in here, I'd do more. But, I don't have the time to be deleting comments and closing the blog when trolls show up and mess with me.
I am on the road a lot and it's just not conducive to monitoring the blog. Oh well, all good things come to an end.
I may yet revive this site in September again.

Attention Mutts:
If you want this information removed (even though nobody cares and it's not any violation of any laws and it's not defamatory and it's not threatening) and you want to prevent your identities (that are not protected by any laws, so go pound salt) being exposed yet again, you will remove all posts regading me from your nasty little place.
Then we can all go back to the peace we had for all these months.
That's my offer. Take it or leave it.
I know who all of you are.
Posted by: loretta | June 19, 2007 11:03 PM
Yep, Joe. That was one of her (now defunct) biznesses.
You are good!
Check out "Frankie Tester" while you're at it.

I guess the mutts can't read plain English.
ALL THE POSTS ABOUT ME.
Oh heck, just delete the entire comment section, you idiot.
That will be fine.
Otherwise, court documents coming up. Oh, we have lots of those.
Posted by: loretta | June 19, 2007 11:19 PM
Public record, of course.
Didn't you know we had several misfits in North Carolina?
Never mind the super sleuths already on staff. Heh.
Yes, there is a traitor in your midst - again. Gosh, sux to be a mutt. Paranoia, much?
Posted by: loretta | June 19, 2007 11:23 PM
We even traced the IP of the email from the little weasel who sent the lowdown on BG.
Hahahaha. It's just too funny. I could not have invented this scenario if I stayed up as late as Shina does during her manic phases.
ALL POSTS ABOUT ME.
What part of "ALL" do you need explained?
I want all of it gone. All of it.
All mention of me - anywhere on that blog.
You got yer work cut out for ya, dearie. Get crackin' or we'll start with the BMW. Fascinating stuff on you, Francie.
Posted by: loretta | June 19, 2007 11:47 PM
There may be a Modesto connection, which explains her interest in the Laci Peterson case.
But you may be right, Joe. I think it's either an alias or a maiden name. She had a poster named "Shannon" who could be a sister, or could be someone using that name as an alias.
In Muttville there are only 5 or 6 posters all using different nicknames or "anonymous"....as I mentioned before, it's just the "Sickest Six" left.

Looks like our Captain is on it.
He's tenacious and thorough; a man on a mission.
Gotta love him.

On the advice of the mutts, of course.

Beautiful pictures! Love and light to all.

Oh, brother!
The world is going to h@ll in a handbasket and then you get "them"!
Geez, the fact that they are still "at it" is pathetic! I mean, what can you say, without insulting them?

Hi, Mgt! SSDD around there, I think. How is your summer going? Has it warmed up at all over there?
Posted by: vero | June 20, 2007 09:11 AM
(((yawn)))
Muttville in a frenzy. Massive damage control. Stephanie F aka "Gamegirl" aka "MadisonGal" aka "JAPOP" aka "MadisonMutt" is posting excerpts of an email exchange we had yesterday.
Gee, should I post her part of it?
The mutts would love to see how two-faced she is. Oh my. She's the kind of woman that smiles in your face and stabs you in the back - never even flinching.
An amazing talent.
Too bad Stephanie is obese, homely and ignorant. She also has really, really bad teeth.
So does Francesca, come to think of it. Can you imagine Shina's teeth? Holy cow.
No wonder Stephanie and the other trailer park trash have to do their little bait and switch deal online. In real life, it's doubtful Stephanie gets many second glances.
All the pics of "BG" posted were really, really funny. She sure had those mutts fooled. And that story about having a "Teddy Ruxpin" doll? Gee, I think those came out when my daugthers were little.
We were never fooled. We knew BG was in her 40s and was acting out some fantasy. So many lies mixed in with little bits of truth, who knows what she invented and what is real? I can't keep up. I don't care.
But it was funny to be called an "old hag" by someone who was 4 years younger than me. That's hilarious. Or be called other colorful things or accused of being a liar by someone who was perpetrating this hoax on a group of people for months and months.
And those stupid mutts hung on every word.
Once again, validating my theory that all my detractors are IDIOTS and NUTCASES.
All the threats to sic cops, lawyers and goons on me are so predictable. So ridiculous. I guess I'll put on my bra with blinkers like Lora and wait at the mailbox.
Oh, wait. I can't. I have to work. Shucks.
This woman, Francesca, lives in an episode of "Sopranos." Sorry, Frannie. This is real life. Get. A. Grip.
The curtain has been ripped open and behind it is a toady little middle-aged woman who has financial problems, business failures, and other things that reveal the BIG YAWN LIFE.
All that "glamour" and top shelf single-malt scotch and the so-called "bling" and the cheap DaVinci prints? All signs of fakery. The trappings of faux wealth.
In reality, people with real money don't have to flaunt it. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Even if Francesca could hang on to any money for long or even knew what to do with it, she would never be anything more than ignorant trash.
But, sorry, muttaroonies. Pay no attention to that fraud behind the curtain. Continue your little fantasy. It does no harm.
Just leave ME out of it.
Leave ME OUT OF IT.

What is really fascinating to me (and would probably make an interesting topic for a PhD thesis or a book...hmmmm) is the phenomenon of the Mutt Leader.
You know we've seen several Mutt Leaders come and go. They all have something in common. Well, they all have more than one thing in common (for example, all mutts have serious psychological disorders and/or have a tenuous grip on reality and/or are perpetrating a fraud) -- but the one thing all Mutt Leaders had in common? They had a little talent, no audience, too lazy to have their own blog, but wanted attention just the same.
So, how did they gain an audience and attention, despite their abysmal work ethic, lack of discipline, inconsistent output, sloppy work and tedious prose?
They used me as their subject matter!
BAM! Instant audience.
Let's take a little trip down Mutt Memory Lane, shall we?
Posted by: loretta | June 20, 2007 09:58 AM
Ponsa, ponsa time there was a poster on CTV who had a range of nicks using "Anita" as the first name. Newman, Richman, Poorman, whatever.
She was funny. Her posts on CTV were good. She had some talent, no doubt about it.
Who knows why she decided I was Public Enemy #1 (I suspect it had something to do with KCL and my opinions about that big adventure) but she decided to spoof me with a little parody about my "recorder".
It was kind of funny.
When she set up the BogBuster site, I really thought she might have the ability to spoof me. Instead, it turned into this insipid hatefest.
I was so disappointed. I really hoped it would be funny.
It wasn't.
There were a few things that were pretty good and worthy, but for the most part it was stupid, uninspired, lackluster.
She had talent but no time, no originality, no work ethic.
They tried to imitate me and others here; they stole our jokes, they spoofed our names, they defaced our pictures -- all sorts of juvenile things (of which I have been guilty, but at least I wrote many serious things over the course of time and did real work as opposed to 7th grade delinquent nonsense over and over) - and when poor Anita was exposed for the fake she was - wayull...
Party over.
Next?
Posted by: loretta | June 20, 2007 10:07 AM
Then there was Susan - aka "Patsy", aka "Spangley" or various nicks.
This poor woman had no talent, but really, desperately wanted an audience just the same.
So, what does she do? She creates a web site where she defaces my picture, photo-chops my face on animals, mocks me, copies excerpts of my posts, steals entries, ridicules my opinion (snore), and variations on that tired theme for months and months and months ad nauseum.
It was so bizarre.
She also spent a great deal of time in Mobile Muttville (cuz it kept moving like a M*A*S*H unit), desperately trying to gain her own little audience for her horrible (and I mean *horrible*) song parodies (which were so bad, we dubbed her the "Song Slayer") and her little book review site (where nobody posted) and her little crime-blob (which nobody read) and her other publishing pursuits (which had nothing but cyber crickets on it, despite her valiant efforts to attract somebody, ANYBODY, to join her....)
Pathetic.
The only time she got kudos from the mutts is when she defaced another one of my pictures.
Did I mention how bizarre that was?
Can you imagine having a blog online devoted to nothing but defacing your pictures?
I showed that to some friends of mine and we laughed and laughed. But, we could not decide if this woman was dangerously obsessed (obsessed, yes, but was she dangerous?) or if she just needed a hobby.
I have to admit it was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.
Meanwhile, when she continued to fail to attract a community of her own (which is what she desperately wanted, but she just had no charisma or talent whatsoever), she had to continue to play red-headed stepchild in the latest incarnation of Muttville.
The point being, the only time "Patsy" got any attention in her entire pathetic cyber career was when she made me her subject matter.
Me.
It's all about me, me, me.
Without me? None of the Mutt Leaders would have been anything more than another nameless, faceless poster on CTV.
Oh, but there's more.
Posted by: loretta | June 20, 2007 10:18 AM
They're C&P-ing for posterior...er...posterity, so your audience is rivetted.
Posted by: vero | June 20, 2007 10:27 AM
Then there was the mysterious "V" who set up the L-haters site. First, Shina had it, but, in typical Shina fashion, she sabotaged it and could not maintain any kind of site for long, much less maintain any grasp on reality for long.
So, this "V" person, whom I suspect at first was a person from Detective Talk named "Violet" (and other flower nicks) who lived in Houston.
Then I believe Mrs. V took over. I can't be certain.
Several others were behind that site, including our friends JA, Shippy and Shina, but the Ringleader was, no doubt, Mrs. V.
Now, Mrs. V has talent. There is no doubt about that. She wrote good song parodies (as opposed to the butchery and botchery and debauchery of Patsy), and Mrs. V could whip out some decent prose.
It's just too bad she used her powers for evil instead of good. heheh.
Once again, despite innate talent and a work ethic high above her mutt peers, Mrs. V only got any real attention when she wrote about me.
She started a blog with the sole intent of defaming, discrediting and ridiculing me, likening me to stalkers, pedophiles, scammers and other cyber and real menaces in society.
Riiiight.
Anyhooo, she got plenty of attention and made all sorts of threats and blew all kinds of smoke. The mutts hung on every word again. Why? Because she was gunning for me.
I can't believe what kind of power I had over these folks that they would spend such enormous time, energy (never mind disk space archiving stuff I don't even have anymore) in order to punish me.
Wow. Think about that.
All that time and energy could have been devoted to honing their craft, researching interesting topics, volunteering at shelters, performing some kind of philanthropic endeavors to make the world a better place.
But, noooooo.
Their idea of making the world a better place was making cyberspace safe from me.
Me. Little ol' me.
Scrinchy face, anyone?
Needless to say, Mrs. V, like her predecessors, lacked the ability to really attract an audience of real people. Instead, the only way they could get attention was to continue to bash (and rehash and rehash and rehash) me and my silly little inconsequential opinions.
Mrs. V coped and pastied excerpts of ancient comment sections where we went over to CTV to play with the excerebrose in the 10-mile thread.
Seriously. As if this demonstrated some kind of criminal malice on our parts.
Eventually and predictably, someone ticked off Mrs. V (or she woke up with fleas one day) and she went after Shina and Francesca.
Ooops.
Now the archives of Shina's vast cyber sewer and Francesca's silly Pound were forever at risk of being rehashed and excerpted in perpetuity.
As if anyone wants to read that stuff.
There were also the side-mutts, you know, the ones who had blogs nobody read unless they posted some defamatory things about me, or "fisked" my entries; constantly imitating but never duplicating.
I can't keep track anymore.
The point is, Muttville and all its incarnations has always been and always will be a pointless exercise.
The leaders are frauds.
The obsession is pathological.
The mission is depraved.
The results? Betrayal, paranoia, rage, confusion.
Gee. How's that workin' for ya, mutts?
Do you get the picture, yet?
Do you see how this has failed utterly and completely?
Isn't it time to give it up once and for all?
Posted by: loretta | June 20, 2007 10:37 AM
What I find so interesting is when life gets a little boring, mundane, routine in their blogosphere or what have you, all any anonymouse or long-term hater has to do is bring up your name and voila! Fireworks! Action! Excitement! You haven't said Boo to them or about them for almost a year and they still yammer on about you. Strange.
YOU ARE SO DAMN POWERFUL! Geeze, maybe you should run for president or something.
As for me, I'm so busy with real life excitement, I can't be bothered with their self-induced drama. Life's just to short to bother with negative and hateful people.
Love, love, love the sunset photos. I'm going up to Munising with my daughter and about 10 of her friends this weekend to participate in a half marathon/5K charity walk/run to benefit a battered women's shelter up there.
We are staying two nights on Lake Superior. I hope to get some really beautiful photos. It's gorgeous up there.

If Ms V, Papillon, or whatever, hadn't gone ballistic recently, this could have stayed under the radar. Do you think she might have some reason, besides tearing chunks out of F and S, for dredging all that up again?
She's the only one who wouldn't take down when we all took down, isn't she?

Thanks, Vero. I'm really looking forward to it. Those 20 somethings are a fun group of people. Makes me feel younger. I've been exercising my buns off trying to get in shape for the event. Speaking of which, I'm just stepping out to a Slow Flow Yoga Class on my lunch break.
Chat with you cats, lattah!
Mgt, it's really good to "see" you. Peggy, too. Hope you are both well and happy.
Posted by: Monica | June 20, 2007 10:52 AM
Well, at the risk of being accused of being arrogant (hahahaha), I think Mrs. V wanted to get MY attention when she resurrected Shina's vile and despicable (now defunct) blogs attacking me.
She probably knew I'd hear about it or read it, although I hadn't been to her site in months. She probably knows exactly when and for how long, too. heh.
I think Mrs. V wanted me to sit up and pay attention, since I have been ignoring them with ice around the edges for months.
She has a hard-on for me and always will. But she also has a hard-on for Shina and Francesca now, and who knows who else, so she wanted to get my attention.
She wanted me to find out who BG was and expose her. I'm sure that was her intent.
She was too chicken to expose her completely, so she made sure I found out.
How? Well, someone created a fake email name and address and sent something out that was All About Francesca.
Did I solicit that? No. Had I been researching BG's identity? No. Did I care? No.
Do I care now? No.
But, if, like former Mutt Leaders of Yore, exposing the real identity of someone will get them to take *pause* in what they do from now on, it's a good thing.
Some maniacs like Shina don't care if you expose them.
They just don't have anything to lose.
However, most people are going to think ... hmmm ... maybe I don't want that to come back to bite me in the tail someday.
Maybe I'll just GO AWAY.
We'll see how things shake down.

Hey, we know him. Prosecuted Mike Peterson. This is the 3rd DDA who was promoted from a case we followed.
We're on a roll. Next is Craig Hum.
Posted by: loretta | June 20, 2007 07:35 PM
By the way, just to make something clear about who sent the mysterious email regarding Francesca, it was someone who used a spoof, disposable email address under the name "Charlene Papillon" and likely an AOL IP.
Gosh. Who do we know that spoofs people's names as email addresses and uses AOL?
(Jeopardy music.)
Three guesses and the first two don't count.
Yerrrrrrr right!
Gosh. Does that mean that Samantha/Shina really isn't the bestest friend anyone could ever have? Is it possible that she peeled out of the squadron yet again and betrayed yet another Internet buddy?
Would that not be the most amazing (ding) thing?
Or, would that be utterly predictable?
Well, puppies, I warned you. Nobody listened to me. ((sigh))
Anyone who has ever given Samantha/Shina a single iota of personal information should be quaking in their booties.
Baaaaad idea.
Baaaaad idea.
Stupid is as stupid does, Forrest.

All you who championed her, encouraged her, enabled her, forgave her, and later befriended her after seeing what she was capable of?
Idiots and Nutcases. All a ya!
Posted by: loretta | June 20, 2007 09:10 PM
Here's the theory:
Mrs. V got mad at BG. Shina attacked Mrs. V or ticked off Mrs. V (not hard to do), and decided to get all snarky with Mrs. V, probably threatening her.
We already knew Papillon was Mrs. V. We already knew a whole lotta stuff. We just didn't care.
Then, Mrs. V posted some identifying information about BG on her dumb blob that was mainly set up to bash me.
I guess I got boring.
Anyhoo, Mrs. V set the trap for Shina.
Shina, as usual, took the bait. She decided to pull her usual MO and create a spoof email address combining Mrs. V's names (nick and real) just like she did with the assorted email addresses she created with my names, my kids' names, my mom's name, Dr. N Buster, etc. etc. ad infinitum.
She sent this mysterious missive to one of us.
Intending, of course, to make it look like Mrs. V was doing it; sort of reverse psychology thinking Mrs. V would never create a spoof email address under her nicks and real name.
But, the AOL thing was the dead giveaway. We only know of a few mutts using AOL.
Oh, I suppose that's not quite enough evidence for a slam dunk, but it's good enough to be the PRIME SUSPECT.
I doubt JA, Peace or Cathy sent it. But, I suppose it's possible.
Someone will have to 'fess up. Cuz it probably wasn't Charlene. I can't see her giving me any personal information about BG, even to set me up for Mutt Madness Part XXIII.
Nahhh. It was Shina.
Prove me wrong. I dare ya.

Nearly spewed my coffee on the monitor reading this gem from Francesca:
Hell, I am probably wrong but I'm hoping that once they **** find that they're tracking a bitch who has stolen my ID at least 40 or more times that they will back up and correct themselves but as we all know, wrong info has never stopped them before.
Hahahahaha. Alrighty, dear. Is that the best thing you can come up with? Honestly, you remind me of Sante Kimes.
You may think you can fool your 3, 4 stupid little pups with this, but really.
Oh, and your fake little conversation with fake law enforcement and fake police is really amusing.
I have news for ya, Francesca, you can blow smoke and talk tough and make threats and lie through your teeth all you want, we both know what's going on, here.
The smart thing for you to do would be to just go away, or privatize your blog if you want to continue to use it as a venue for defamation of me.
Otherwise, you know you're busted, I know you're busted, all of us with firing brain cells know you're busted.
The thing is, I don't care who you are, where you work, how old you are.
I just want you to leave me out of your games. I want you to take responsibility for what's posted on your PUBLIC blog.
Either take it private or clean it up.
Keep my name off your site. Period.
No, I have not gone off my rocker and you know it. You had a conversation with a "DA" yesterday about as much as I had a conversation with Jesus Christ.
So, spare me your b.s.
Collar Shina and keep her away from me. And while you're at it, watch your back. She's the biggest threat to you. Not me.
Posted by: loretta | June 21, 2007 10:16 AM
Incidentally, there is no possible way BG/Francesca or Shina/Samantha or any other demented whackjob over there can threaten my livelihood.
The little muttaroonies think that because a couple of other whackjobs were successful in interjecting their insanity into my real life last year that it's open season on me.
Well, it doesn't quite work like that. First off, all the things you think about my particular situation are incorrect.
There really is nobody for you to call and nothing you can do. Clearly you have been out of the loop for a long time and are still living in the summer of 2006.
Secondly, I think it's really interesting and rather incriminating that you continue to threaten my livelihood, threaten to harm me physically, threaten to call some kind of authorities on me, and try to portray me as the subject of incredulity among district attorneys.
Very interesting.
You threaten to interfere in my real life, get me "fired" from some job I don't even have, call a boss I don't have, threaten to call people about my children, on and on and on.
What I "threatened" to do was file a lawsuit that has been building up evidence for almost 2 years. Two years.
I have requested on a number of occasions both privately and publicly for you to cease your defamation of me and remove all offending posts about me from your blog.
Simple request.
You continue to refuse to do that. You continue to allow this. All I want is for you to stop.
I know who you are. I exposed who you were not to put you in danger (which it doesn't) but rather to remind you that you have liability if I can demonstrate that your stupid blog has harmed me.
If you want to call my bluff, fine.
I think, however, you would be better off just removing the offending material and minding your own business.
That's all I'm asking. Your idle threats and posturing are not going to solve anything and, frankly, they are insulting to anyone with a brain cell.
So, Frannie, get over yourself and leave me out of your conversations.

CV, are you paying attention to this?
I have a sneaking suspicion that this applies to you, too.

I left a very polite, detailed, clear message on Francesca's voice mail. The information I received from Shina was correct.
I have a recording of Francesca's voice from when she drunken dialed me at 1:30 in the morning and left screaming threats on my cell phone voice mail.
Remember when we shared that little gem with everyone?
It was funny because she told me I had 10 minutes to call her back or something and yet never left me a phone number in order to return her call.
Not that I was up at 1:30 AM to do that in the first place.
Interesting that someone would call me at 1:30 AM, knowing I have little kids in bed, assuming incorrectly that I am online or sitting up.
Then she calls Charlene at 5:10 AM? I guess that's even worse. If someone called me at 5:10 AM I'd freak. I'd think it was an emergency.
Unreal.
I'd rather get a call at 1:30 AM, but even that's kind of freaky.
Something a drunk would do.
Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that before the mutts start accusing me of stalking, harassing, etc.
Since Francesca already broke the proverbial ice on that one (and we have it documented and recorded), I thought it was fair that I call her at a reasonable, civilized time to verify that the phone number I got from Shina was correct.
I think if she plays my message for her fake DA and fake cop friends, they will have to agree it's quite civilized, quite clear, quite calm and quite reasonable.

Ahhhn, so you did exactly what she asked for at her 1:14 AM post. Hei, but she also said all the info you had was wrong!?!?! How come?
We know Mrs. Frankie worked as an extra for a period of time. Great actress. Not! That part about the DA, Assistant DA and PD, laughing over something that does not exist made my day.
On the other hand, I am not 100% sure about Shina being the culprit. Contessa has been flaming the game and she really likes to use your name a lot. So, Peace, as well as Cathy are still other strong options. I don't believe Charlene sent that e-mail, just because she is a coward and because all she needed to do was to add a couple of pieces of information to what she already had publicized at her Blob.

These are very lovely photos. May I ask what type of camera are being taken from?

It's a Canon Powershot SD450 I got last year. With a 3x zoom. Slight editing with Picasa to crop a few things and darken the shadows. The last shot I blurred intentionally to make it look a little like a painting.
Nothing too fancy.
