Fish Market Argument!



I was too pissed to write this earlier, but I am getting a hold of myself and going to try to write this up without having a mini stroke. I buy my fish at the fish store. In my neighborhood we have little stores that specialize in things like butchers, fish store, fruit stores etc. I have had issues with the fish store before, after it changed owners. The woman told me one day that the crab cakes weren’t ready, I should come back later. Well I went back hours later, against my better judgment and she still didn’t have them! We may have had another incident too, I try not to remember these things for too long.

Today I went in for jumbo shrimp for my husband. They had about a dozen, but they belonged to someone else already. Someone had put in an order. So she asks me if I want the next size down. I say ok instead of 8 jumbo give me 12 of those large ones. So there is a guy cleaning shrimp and he tells her to take 12 of those and to charge me $7.50. I ask her if she can weigh the shrimp for me because I need to know if 12 is enough for my husband’s dinner. The man takes a fit. He tells me 11 shrimp is half a pound. I tell him yes but I need to know if that will be enough for dinner. He tells her forget it don’t give them to her she doesn’t understand! I tell him I DO understand. The shrimp weigh more uncleaned, I am not questioning that. You don’t understand, I want to know if there is enough for my husband to get full on. As it turned out the 12 shrimp were less than ½ pound and I got two crab cakes to make sure I had enough fish for dinner.

Now I am pissed! The woman tried to make him understand what I meant. He is going to argue with me like I am implying he is cheating me on the money when all I needed to know was how much 12 shrimp weighed. What ever happened to the day when the customer was always right? That’s what I want to know. And this store isn’t exactly packed wit customers either. Fish is too expensive for most people in this economy. They used to have so much more fish in the store and now it’s down to the bare minimum. If there was another store nearby I would not think twice about never going there again. I really need to find another place for fish.

Casey Anthony Trial Wraps up…



Closing arguments are going on right now down in Orlando, Florida. Hard to predict what the jury will decide, they don’t know every thing we know. I don’t know everything they know. I only watched the trial on and off to keep my blood pressure at a normal level. But here are some of the things I know:

The defense did a lousy job. They did not deliver what they promised. There was no evidence to support any of their theories. The judge said they could NOT use the molestation theory claiming Casey was molested by her father, George, or brother, Lee. There was no evidence presented that that ever happened. The defense said Casey drowned in the family pool. There was no evidence of that. There was no nanny Zanny. There was no concern for her missing daughter for 31 days while Casey went partying. There were nothing but lies coming out of Casey’s mouth. Cindy, her mother, lied. She lied about searching for chloroform, about not being at work when the searches were done, she lied about the pool ladder being down. She is obviously trying to cover up for her daughter.

I know that Casey is a thief, she was stealing money from her grandfather’s account, who was in a nursing home. Her aunt told this to Nancy Grace and also said that Cindy planned to have Casey arrested for theft. It’s been an ongoing problem.

It’s a shame that there is not more conclusive evidence and that much of it was destroyed while Caylee’s remains deteriorated in the woods all those months. I would have been happier had this been a slam dunk case and less of a circumstantial case. Nevertheless, I am convinced of Casey’s guilt. All her words and actions incriminate her. She was the one last seen with her daughter leaving the Casey home. By that evening she no longer had Catylee, the phantom “babysitter” did. Why pay a babysitter when your parents have been watching this baby all along?

I hope the jury sees through all the lies and brings back justice for this sweet, innocent baby. Then I hope the prosecution goes after Cindy and anyone else who has lied on the witness stand to thwart justice for Caylee. This whole case is sickening, I’ll be glad when it’s over and hopefully the outcome will be fair and just.
