I thought for sure Natter 40 would be closed by now.

It's all part of our Culture of Life.

Personally, I am glad we have armed Air Marshals, but the idea of someone shooting a gun on a plane is scary. It's such a narrow, crowded space. I suppose the marshals train for just that situation, however.

Nicole! One of the women on the pool league competing against Brendon last night looked so much like you. (other than her bland clothing choices) Her body shape, face, hair, all looked like you. She played pool ok too.

Woman hires hit man to steal block of cheese:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- In an unusual case of mistaken identity, a woman who thought a block of white cheese was cocaine is charged with trying to hire a hit man to rob and kill four men. The woman also was mistaken about the hit man. He turned out to be an undercover police officer.

Jessica Sandy Booth, 18, was arrested over the weekend and remains in jail with bond set at $1 million on four charges of attempted murder and four counts of soliciting a murder.

According to police, Booth was in the Memphis home of the four intended victims last week when she mistook a block of queso fresco cheese for cocaine _ inspiring the idea to hire someone to break into the home, take the drugs, and kill the men.

A search of the home with the permission of the occupants revealed no drugs _ only the white, crumbly cheese common in Mexican cuisine.

I don't feel good. My stomach has been hurting all day (I avoided food until about half an hour ago when I started on a couple of bagel) and for the last 3 hours or so, I've had this awful taste in my mouth. I drank some water, tried some coffee (really bad idea), and now ate the bagels, but the taste is still there.

Laura! I have look-alikes all over, apparently. Unless... what if it really was me? Are you positive that it wasn't? Maybe I couldn't say Hello because I was undercover.

Believe me, I would've rather been hanging out in a Florida bar. Too cold here last night.

This is sounding worse every moment. Make me stop reading.

Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Doyle said the plane had just arrived from Medellin, Colombia, when a passenger indicated he had a bomb in his carry-on bag.

Mary Gardner, a passenger on the plane, told WTVJ the man started “running crazily through the aisle” after the plane landed in Miami. Gardner said a woman seated with the man ran after him, yelling that her husband was bipolar and had not taken his medication. Gardner described the woman as “hysterical.”

NBC News’ Pete Williams said authorities searching the man's carry-on bag did not find a bomb.

From MSNBC. This is very upsetting.

msbelle, I hope you start feeling better soon.

Poor msbelle's tummy. You have any gingerale source close by?
