I don't think this stuff is ever going to end, but hopefully the Wagner trials will go on as planned. I can't even imagine how the R's are getting through this nightmare with all the delays. It's like reliving it every time it's delayed with no justice in sight.

O/T

Hubby and I have been exposed 4 times. We are still well as is the rest of the family, thank God. But we did lose our dog (a 14 year old min pin to what the vet said was "an allergic reaction to a spider bite" at the time. But we checked back on the dates and an old friend and client brought in their taxes a few days before he died of the virus. His daughter brought in hers on March 12. Our dog died March 20. He was fine nothing wrong with him then suddenly his lungs filled with fluid. We took him to the hospital and they put him on a ventilator and 2 hours later he was dead. The autopsy said nothing wrong with his heart, liver, kidneys, nothing, just his lungs filling with fluid faster than they could drain it off, so final report, ARDS caused by an allergic reaction to a spider bite or something he ate (re: like a peanut ect) but there was no peanuts in the house. Now they are saying cats and dogs are testing positive for Covid-19. I think he had it and since he was an old dog he died from it. I am pretty sure hubby had it too around March 15. He has never had any problems breathing but got so short of breath he had to stay the night in hospital. They said it was blood pressure. He never had a problem with that either, but it went up to 230/123. But he is fine now and still not taking any BP meds. No high BP or shortness of breath now either. I am waiting for the anti body tests to see if he had it. Hopefully they will do them on our other dogs and the cat too.

Sorry for the rant and off topic statement. I am so bored I can't wait until they open things back up.

Raisin, good to hear your story, though I'm very sorry for the loss of your precious dog, and I'm so thankful your hubby is okay. God bless America. JMO, there is no telling how many of us had it early and didn't know it, or who of us have it now and don't know it.
 
Rest in peace Chris Rhoden, Jr., Hanna Rhoden, Frankie Rhoden, Hannah Hazel Gilley, Dana Rhoden, Chris Rhoden, Sr., Gary Rhoden, and Kenneth Rhoden. Hopefully soon, the gutless killers who murdered you will be convicted and put to death.

Thanks, Niner! Great work, as always. Much appreciated.

JMO, once the COVID 19 situation resolves itself long enough to resume court hearings, I think the judge and prosecution will want things to speed up a little. They've had plenty of time to exchange and review all the evidence. I hope the defense has been forthcoming with their discovery.
 
Meanwhile, The Accused are sitting in jail and rotting.
At this point they may have some hope for a positive outcome.
Their anxiety level will rise dramatically as the first trial nears.
When the evidence is presented to the jury by hostile prosecutors in the first trial, I think a boiling point will be reached.
I do hope the trial will be on cable or live streamed.
Maybe even with a tight shot of the defendant's face in a box in a screen corner.
Must-See TV.
 
Raisin, good to hear your story, though I'm very sorry for the loss of your precious dog, and I'm so thankful your hubby is okay. God bless America. JMO, there is no telling how many of us had it early and didn't know it, or who of us have it now and don't know it.
Thank you Loomis. It has been hard to get over losing him. I feel like the episode of the Walking Dead where the CDC DR told Rick "You are all infected". lol
 
No words needed....

I hope Ms. Geneva is staying well. Pike doesn't seem to have too many cases of the virus.
OHIO - only posting this because of where Miss Geneva and the other family members live and it shows not very many cases in those Counties. I know we are all thinking about the families and hope and pray they are all well.

Sorry for the rant and off topic statement. I am so bored I can't wait until they open things back up.

my min pin just turned 12 but he still seems young, except for his butt hernia and he doesn't like food anymore. but I worry about him carrying or getting sick. a lady 4 houses up died, an immigrant from Bulgaria staying with her son. the son and his toddler were sick and got better and since she didn't have insurance she didn't go to the hospital. very sad.

I'm sorry about your baby. mine is like having a 2 year old. no one's ever loved me or have been so excited to see me like him. I got him when I turned 18 and I just got 30 and I know it will break me. I'm so sorry.
 
The tattoo release form is listed in AW's Discovery March 20 2019. So I'm sure the tattoo artist was interviewed. JMO

Angela Wagner

Unbelievable that he used a tattoo artist on-grid enough to require a signed release form! Wow!! I'm glad they have that evidence, but it's becoming more surprising that they managed to pull off their evil plan in the first place. I don't see any valedictorians in the bunch. MOO

Reading your post got me curious about what a tattoo release form is. So I found this one if anyone is interested. So yes, I have to agree with you that Billy is "stupid" for not getting an off-grid tattoo if the tattoo he got is any type of tattoo that would draw suspicion to his crimes. Which yes, it is that type of tattoo or the prosecution wouldn't have his tattoo release form in evidence.

Just think, if you had someone like BW come in and request THAT tattoo, wouldn't you get a signed request form? I sure would.
