I'm off to find some of Jodi's legal briefs. They have to exist, right? She did represent herself for a period of time...I need a good laugh...

IIRC, Jodi said early on that she wanted to represent herself. She never did. You said you need a good laugh. Do you subscribe to Netflix? Have a Redbox near you so you can rent funny movies? IMO, I cannot find anything funny about Jodi's trial. Well, except for Juan Martinez asking Alice LaViolette about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. MOO:moo:

Enough about damn computers.
I'm thinking about selling my house and buying a little trailer to put on my older son's land up here (use to be my parents land) about 10 miles from me. Anyone live in a trailer? My son is suppose to, eventually, move up here and build a house on the land (9 acres). There would be no more taxes for me to pay since he pays the taxes on the land.
what do you think? Anyone ever live in a trailer?

Trailers usually fall apart and depreciated in value. If it just going to be you living there, why not look into a "tiny house". There are many website and places to find them. "Tiny Tumbleweed House" are probably to most famous but they are wayyy overpriced. There are quite a few overpriced makers of tiny houses but keep looking. Many of them are quite easy to put together with just a a few days to a few weeks work and a few friends and tools.Just search "Tiny Houses" on Google and you will find hundreds of resources.

Many tiny houses are incredibly creative and can be built inexpensively if you put your mind to it. I have always loved them and wanted one and now we have our own 600sq ft house that we bought for less that $5000 because it needed to be moved. It's a wood frame house so jacking it up, putting it up on a flatbed trailer and moving it was tricky but my hubby did it.

Check out http://www.panelconcepts.com/ - This is my favorite site because they give you great information on their prices, styles and optional choices. You can practically customize the model to the size you want, choose options and they have the prices right there for you to see. From what i remember, they were the site that I spent the most time at, browsing over the models and reading. They were the most reasonably priced ones too.

The website http://tinyhouselistings.com/ is a good site just to see a vast array of little houses and their costs all over the US.

Here are some other sites to look at as well.

Oops forgot to explain HIIT, it's short bursts of HIgh intensity bursts, usually about 20 seconds with a 20-80 second recovery. The key is to take it to the max for that "sprint" and the body will continue to burn fat for up to 30 hours after the exercise is over. You think 20 seconds is short until you have to go all out! You can do it on a stationary bike, treadmill or elliptical, or even just walking. You do it to your own exertion.
I'm pretty out of shape so it doesn't take much!

Are you doing TurboFire by any chance?
 
I think she's still in solitary. She's still tweeting thru whoever and read To Kill A Mockingbird, don't you know. She's so literary :floorlaugh:
Hope she sweats all the evilness out. :jail:

Did she actually tweet that she read To Kill a Mockingbird?

Aww, if I was a single gal and had money to expend I would so build a tiny home.

I love Ross Chapin, he also designs pocket neighborhoods, which also sound pretty awesome.
 
Did she actually tweet that she read To Kill a Mockingbird?

No. anybody can set up a Twitter account and say it is from Jodi Arias. There are many frauds out there. Call Sheriff Joe.

One of them is real. I was wondering if the real Jodi actually tweeted that.
 
Arpaio knows. He does not care. It isn't her sitting and tweeting, it is someone speaking for her. She cannot actually get access to twitter. Since she isn't tweeting there isn't anything he can do.

I got a Dell from Walmart in February and it has Windows 8 , and I hate it also. I was pulled kicking and screaming from Windows XP (which I never really mastered much beyond reading mail and surfing the net), to Vista and was about as illiterate on it as XP, then got a nice "just because" from my husband during the JA trial and was trying my best not to venture far from WebSleuths or I'd never find my way back.

I asked my husband if they had am even dumber book for dummies on Windows 8.

I heard so much bad stuff about Windows 8, I bought a refurbished laptop from Dell that has Windows 7.

I love it!
 
I hv a new laptop with windows 8; there is a slight learning curve. I don't use the home app page, I still go directly to desk top. I updated to 8.1; and it almost lost everything on my system and really screwed me UP. whatever you do; don't download or install 8.1 while it's in beta. IMMHO
 
I think I've been following too many trials and reading about too many horrible cases lately. Last night I had two truly terrifying dreams. Shook me up so bad that I ended up sleeping on the couch with the tv on. I'm still a little bothered by them this morning.

Does this ever happen to anyone else?
 
Had mine out at age 6, with the promise I could have all the ice cream I wanted :floorlaugh:

I asked my mother how many shots I would be getting, and she LIED to me and said none ... but I'll never forget the FIVE shots. LOL

The biggest lie I told my kids - well, my son - was that the Wedway People Mover at Disney World's Magic Kingdom was Space Mountain. We knew he'd love Space Mountain's roller coaster, but he refused to try it. So we looked around to the People Mover, which moves like molasses and looks like the safest thing in the world, pointed it out to him and said, "That's Space Mountain's roller coaster!"

:rollercoaster:

Of course, he loved the real thing, and insisted on going on Space Mountain several times. I still feel bad about the lie, though :blushing:. I wouldn't even tell my kids there was a Santa, I just said "I've heard conflicting stories," or something like that. Hey, I didn't want them to end up in a tower shooting people because of the horrible betrayal! :scared:

I bought a win8 computer and loved it so much that I also purchased the win8 phone. I am with you though, on my computer I rarely use the home app page except for things like netfix and hulu.

All in all, I highly recommend windows 8... not brave enough to update to 8.1 though, heard to many horror stories.. yours included!

I have bad dreams all the time. Not super nightmares, but where I'm chased or harrassed or haven't paid my hotel bill in weeks and months and I know it's going to be a doozy!

It worried me, so I did some research, and found that negative dreams are the norm. People actually have more negative dreams than positive ones.

I guess it's all in your perspective, though. Hubby says he has dreams that, in real life, would be considered "adventure vacations," e. g., dangerous hiking in the mountains, or helping save a ship from sinking. The particulars don't seem very fun to me, but he's kind of a "glass half full" person. I'm more like a "Does anyone see the obvious spots on this glass? Can we wash it again?" kind of person. :floorlaugh:

YorN, I have always been fascinated by the homes they make out of shipping containers.

There is a huge glut of shipping containers cause of all the stuff we buy from China. They are starting to use them in some really creative ways, like emergency housing for areas hit by natural disasters (like Haiti, shown here:
http://www.mnn.com/your-home/remodeling-design/blogs/a-seed-of-hope-in-haiti)

But some are so cute! And they are virtually indestructible, if you have to worry about tornadoes or hurricanes.

Plus, you can ship them pretty much anywhere, on trains, ships, so if you decide to move, you can take your whole house!

And you can easily expand by just adding more containers.

There are some really fancy ones you can find that I am sure cost a lot of $$, but there are also very simple cheap ones like these:

I think this is a fascinating 'green' idea and if I didn't' already have a house, I would definitely investigate.

:seeya:
 
You always have something mouthwatering to tease us with. Thanks for the recipes. Do you have a good Carne Asade like Mi Tierra's tomato sauce based one?

Mi Tierra? Tell me more cause it sounds great

I do like Carne Asada, usually with some pico and fresh guacamole

Carne Guisada I do make with tomatoes in the gravy...

Lately been making lots of grillades and grits...

Holy crap that looks delicious, where do you get your carne asada and do you have a recipe?

I would say that if following true crime and real trials and cases is new to you then YES. Even though I have been a part of the system and followed cases since I was ten yrs old, I still can become traumatized by following a trial. Jessica Lundsfords case gave me nightmares. It is common I would say. Best to fill your head now with some good stuff, garden, music, do some real world things. After the Chavez verdict, the Zimmerman verdict and Casey A's verdict, I think many of us feel like :banghead:

You are not alone if you are suffering some nightmares, or depression even; or just complete sadness for the victims and the families. I would agree, it's quite normal IF you are a very compassionate person. Feel better soon. Hopefully our Justice System will be restored, some how some way. But people are going to hv to start to care at the very least. Like they used to.
 
So does anyone know what the judge decided as to a new trial date? I know there is another status hearing update, but will that even be televised? Maybe her new DP phase WILL NOT BE COVERED LIVE. Wouldn't that be a blow to miss "I love the camera and the fame and being infamous", it's all she will EVER achieve. IMMHO
