Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Seriously,
I feel like I should write a book about doing all the non-Pest Control professional stuff for dealing with bedbugs. The thing I have not been so great about doing is getting rid of stuff, but that honestly has had more to do with lack of brain power and time to do thoughtful work going through stuff.
Jackson's drug intake before his death:
You know, it pisses it me off IMFUCKINGMENSELY that on the one hand MJ can get this badly fucked up with little supervision, and then on the other hand, normal non-celebrity people get treated like junkies when they try to get enough meds to get their pain dialed down from a 12 to an 11.

Oh yeah, that too.
(And to be super-clear, both hands piss me off.)

Also, if anyone does feel they need to inflict more of the awful kidnapping story on themselves, the Contra Costa Times, the local paper for the county Antioch is in, has good (if depressing) coverage. Including an apology from the county sheriff, which is too little too late for the woman and her children, but at least is a real apology and not a handwavey not-our-fault fauxpology.

One of my all time pet peeves. I can be coughing in the doctor's office with a cough that can be heard in Alabama and still have to practically beg the obviously suspicious doctor for codeine.
According to the Contra Costa Times, the sheriff "attributed the shortcoming to the deputy's lack of ready access to a database containing information about sex offenders in the county." I found him [link] on the sex offender registry in 10 seconds.
Unfortunately, Ginger, you are way smarter and more computer literate than the average sheriff's deputy.
Cases like this are extra hard because there seems to be pretty clear evidence that the guy is mentally ill - hearing voices from God, etc. I think the Elizabeth Smart kidnapper was found mentally unfit to stand trial for the same reason. The crime is horrible, but the criminal pretty clearly does not know right from wrong. (OTOH, if you know your brother is literally insane, why do you let him take care of your elderly, dementia-suffering mother?)
2PM, and I'm waiting for someone to call me for a phone interview.

OMG, Andy Bellefleur works in Cali, now...too bad they didn't have a Sookie, too.
