    FFS the thing weighs 2500 pounds. Can we stop thinking it’s plausible that they bought a storm shelter and buried it without anyone else involved and no one noticing?  A 5x6x6 hole is significant, probably 8+ cubic yards with margins, and Brian didn’t strike me as someone used to manual labor. His parents are also on the small side. Those two flower beds that are made out of 2x12s aren’t holding that amount of dirt either. There is zero chance that the feds wouldn’t have noticed fresh digging in that yard if it happened in the last few weeks.  

    Where I live, your shelter gets recorded at the city so they'll know to come looking for your ass after a tornado wipes out your neighborhood. Maybe that's just an Oklahoma thing but it makes too much sense for it to only happen here. This place ain't exactly on the cutting edge.

    I see your point, and as a matter of fact I do have 2 grown children (22 and 25).  I get what you're saying a bit, but I would be very skeptical to think that the average sane parent wouldn't be almost in a fetal position with worry.  This isn't Junior being late on car payments or being evicted from his apartment, it's murder.
     

    I agree and I don't want to come across like I'd just cover up my kids' crimes in the same manner that I'd just take out my own garbage. If this was my son, I'd probably be in the hospital right now. You just never know how much anyone can take when it comes to a crisis. Maybe these parents are raging assholes that should be shunned from society. Maybe they're just so worried about their kid that they have to keep busy and working in the yard helps them stay sane. I don't know.

    I dunno, but I mean these people are fucking nuts.  Son is "missing" and/or a definite murderer and they're out there - gardening?  WTF?  I mean, ya gotta have a first-rate Scotts-approved yard, no matter what!  Psychotic?  I mean there is something wrong here... something really really WRONG here [John Winger].

    Not too far to the next step, oink oink.

    Edit:  Just read where the old man was out mowing the yard today.  The grief must be unimaginable.  Yeah, I guess to these two, they can't imagine it.
     

    Not sure if you have grown children but eventually, you have to emotionally disconnect just a tad. At least, I do. If I let myself dwell on some of the stupid decisions my kids make that I cannot control, I'll have an ulcer or heart attack in no time. I had a panic attack once, no desire to go down that road again. 

    And no, that doesn't mean I'm down to cover up murders with my kids but we don't know what kind of an asshole this guy has been to his folks over the years, or what kind of bullshit he's put his parents through. Maybe they've quietly reached their breaking point and gardening is what's keeping them sane.

  4. My twins got a 2001 Honda Accord (wife's old car she bought in 2002) and a 2012 Ford Fusion (uncle died, my dad bought it and gave it to the kid). The Honda died last year, I replaced it with a 2017 Hyundai Elantra, $9500. Fuck buying my kids a new car.

    Goodell and the NFL need to be transparent with the investigation of the WFT

    The problem with this is that the average football fan (like myself) doesn't give a flying fuck about that shit. I watch football to relax on the weekends. If I want to worry about shit like this, I can just go to work. I don't care what millionaire dipshits email to each other.

    Wife had a complete meltdown, ugly crying in the middle of Macy's because I was being unhelpful with the registry item scanner thingy. I told her it's not that I don't care, it's that either 1) we'll get what she wants, or 2) we'll get what I want and she'll be pissy about it 'til death do us part; so what's the fucking point of me providing input?? And if it was me (engineer) calling the registry shots, we wouldn't have walked into a singular store anyway, wandering around scanning random shelf inventory...you know we'd be at home with a spreadsheet, researching and optimizing all that shit.

    When we did the registry thing, I told my wife it was pointless because nobody would get us anything we actually needed/wanted. We were both adults (her 29, me 35) and we didn't need towels, dishes, etc., as we already had that shit. She disagreed, so I purposely put shit on the list for me that I knew we wouldn't get, just to prove a point. I put a big TV, a playstation 3, any big electronic item. We got...towels, dishes, etc. I'd say 90% got returned for store credit. Just give cash, people.

    106 wins.  The most ever for a 2nd place team.  Brutal.

    Not as bad as winning 103 and not even making the playoffs. Hope you lose to STL, no offense.

  8. I found out yesterday that a childhood friend died from cancer, she had just turned 51. I hadn't seen her in over 30 years, she was my older sister's friend when we were in grade school. We've been facebook friends for years and I knew she had been diagnosed but she was updating everything that she'd been doing and seemed upbeat about it. 2 months after the diagnosis, she's gone. Her poor parents, she was an only child and had no spouse or kids. They're in their 70s and all alone now.

    MSM: This missing white girl syndrome is outrageous. What about other missing people, particularly people of color? Why are people so enthralled with this chick, no offense. Sorry she died but what about all the missing people who just don’t get the same coverage bc they aren’t a white girl? It’s a tragedy and an outrage.

    HLN: I hear ya. It’s beyond awful. Maybe we can mention those missing POC in a less than two minute segment during our new nightly one hour show on Gabby Petito? 
     

    Totally true. HLN now has a nightly one hour special with most of Nancy Grace’s old panel of guests on Gabby and daily updates.  And they spend about two minutes or less talking about all the other cases. I would say SMH but it’s how the media rolls. Lulz. 

    America eats true crime for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If CNN or MSNBC made a weekly missing persons show, it would get great ratings, regardless of the race of those missing people. So why don't they???
