A Woman Who Scared Me

Traffic on city street (blurred motion)

I met a woman a few weeks back at a party who truly scared me. When I first met her, her demeanor caught my eye. She was unique. I assumed she was a goody-two-shoes, you know one of those women who does everything by the book: gets straights A in school, follows the speed limit, keeps a perfect house, is so strict on being proper that she was socially a little awkward? Well, I was right about the socially awkward, but I was blown away when she randomly confessed to driving 110 miles an hour on a freeway and getting a ticket. After all, she was not 18. She is a married woman, I suspect near 30 years of age.

Yet ironically and totally unexpectedly, she continued her story in almost a bragging way when she told us on that same day, she got another speeding ticket for going over 100 again–on the same highway.

Oddly missing was the shame, embarrassment, etc. that we all feel when we did something stupid in our youth.

I immediately checked in. She was someone truly extraordinary.

Through continued conversation, it came out that she is not afraid of driving at fast speeds and still does it.

I was mortified.

She is a married woman for Pete’s sake. I really wanted to share my thoughts that she was putting other people in danger, but how she talked, I knew it was hopeless. She is convinced she is a great driver, and her dad got her a radar detector so she doesn’t keep getting tickets. He obviously gave up that he could stop her, or he is just as crazy as she is.

I asked her if she had any fears whatsoever and she responded that she doesn’t. If she messes something up, she told me, she’ll just fix it. She can fix anything.

Hello, you can’t fix a dead man!? Have you ever thought of that? I wanted to blurt it out, but socially I knew that wouldn’t fly, so I sat amongst the crowd. People did question her seriously, but she took it all as a joke. Her confidence and stance was clearly abnormal.

The woman was deluding herself. I think many people started wondering if this woman was for real, and I think most people quickly came to the conclusion that she was. This was no joke. It made you squirm, though not everyone caught on. Some people just found it humorous. I was certainly not laughing.

As the night went on, I found out this woman works in an elderly care facility and she is working to become a nurse.

Nurse Checking Elderly Womens Temperature

To say I was mortified is an understatement. I really wish I hadn’t heard that. If she was anything else, I would have cared less, but to care for people with such a disregard for life?

OMG.

For this woman to have no ability to reason that her dangerous behavior can easily kill others, and to believe in an arrogant way that she can fix whatever she does wrong, it only spells disaster, if she becomes a nurse, and I believe she absolutely will.

This woman will ace all of her tests and get licensed. From a technical stand point, I suspect she will be a superior nurse. But on the emotional side, I shudder. She doesn’t have the normal barriers of compassion and concern to administer anything to another person. She is one woman that if we were to follow, will likely face some serious disasters in her personal or professional life that will impact the lives of innocent people who cross her path, and yet there is nothing any one of us can do about it.

That’s chilling! I think it will haunt me for years to come… I will never forget her.

Dr. Phil: Real Housewives

Every Tuesday, Dr. Phil talks to a group of housewives he brought in to get “real”. Dr. Phil didn’t know what their “stories” were going to be when he chose them, so it is all coming out on the show.

This is a fabulous study of human behavior on so many levels. You get to see real people and here their real stories. These shows can get intense, I tell you! I’ve watched two so far.

I’ve always liked Dr. Phil when he is in his “doctor” mode. He is really good at spotting the truth and calling people on it. I thought it was interesting how he talked about “first impressions”, too.

Don’t forget to record it today!

Duper’s Delight on a Grand Scale?

Here is another interesting video of Tiffany a reader pointed out last night. Tiffany talks of people in the boats who appeared “friendly” and “waved” at them.

Missing Zahra Baker

Little 10-year old Zahra Baker went missing from the family home this past Saturday. Zahra has bone cancer and lost a leg and her hearing to the disease. She wears a prosthetic leg and hearing aids. Police issued an Amber Alert in the case and the FBI and U.S. Marshals have been looking for Zahra.

Read moreFrom ABC.com:

Elisa Baker has been arrested for making threats, writing bad checks, larceny and driving with a revoked driver’s license, according to The Associated Press. She is being held on $31,500 bond.

In this interview we see Zahra’s father, Adam Baker, speak. He raises my eyebrows.

Adam was asked in the interview if he believed his wife was involved and he replied, “I wouldn’t like to think so. It’s kind of what I’ve heard so far. It could be possible.”

It’s “kind of” what he heard? Why is he waffling, if this is what he believes or is being led to believe?

George asks Adam if the last time he saw his daughter was at 2:30 a.m. Saturday when she was sleeping in her bed. Adam says, “Uh, that’s what time her mother told me she went and checked on her–when I was asleep.”

George continues, “So when was the last time you saw Zahra?” Watch how Adam has to think to answer that. It’s odd. He says, “It would’ve been…probably Thursday night and I got up early and went to work…”

Probably?

He doesn’t know when he saw his daughter last? Usually when people go missing, the first thing we do is go back to the last time we saw them and think about it. Did we tell them we loved them? Did we kiss them?

If Adam and Elisa believed their daughter was abducted, you would think they would retrace all their steps from their last accounts to see if anything was unusual or extraordinary, wouldn’t you? And he isn’t even confident the last time he saw his daughter? Red flag. I also find it odd how he immediately accounts for his time the next morning. Its like he is trying to cover himself. Why would he care if he knows he had no involvement? It’s noteworthy.

I wonder what the fire was that was burning at 5:30 in the morning? That piques my interest.

I am surprised at how Adam responds to George about checking on Zahra after the fire. He seems to think before he answers here, too. He hesitates a lot. He says, “…..um…..no. I was in big panic because there was a fire in the yard and I was talking to investigators.” Its plausible, of course, but his response is noteworthy to me–how he thinks about it before answering. Why doesn’t he just say “No. I figured she slept through the whole thing. She wasn’t in danger so we didn’t want to worry her.” It’s like he never thought about it at all. Did he know she wasn’t there at that point?

What were they doing up at 5:30 to even see the fire? Was it a building fire or just the yard? I’d like to know more about the fire.

Adam then leaves the house at 11:00 a.m. or noon on Saturday to check out a job, and yet doesn’t think any of not seeing his daughter that morning? Isn’t that odd? Most ten year old children are up long before noon.

Then it wasn’t until 2:00 PM that the parents reported Zahra missing? That doesn’t add up.

Adam says that when he came back from the job that morning, he was working in the yard and that is when Elisa came out of the house and “started screaming that Zahra was missing.” That means Adam wants us to believe he came home and never questioned where his daughter was. Either he was really uncaring and unconcerned about his daughter, or we are not getting the real story here.

George questions Adam about what Elisa knew and Adam says, “Uh, she didn’t know very much. She came out crying and panicking…just like telling me Zahra was gone….um, I went inside and searched the house and started searching around the block (head shake no) and…called the police.”

The words “just like” flag me here. As if she did this, but perhaps really didn’t? It’s a hedge…Ronald Cummings did this as well.

If notice Adam doesn’t give us any details about Elisa said. This is a huge flags me. He should be giving us details. He should have fears, emotional memories, etc, but he doesn’t give us any of this. Alarms ringing.

Adam seems to be resigned his daughter is not out there for some reason. I see no hope that they will find her. Maybe he knows things that the police aren’t revealing?

I think Adam knows more than he is telling, but what that is, of course, I don’t claim to know.

Tiffany Hartley “As far as I know”

Tiffany Hartley speaks out again and again and again. Here is another interview from a Fox morning show.

What I find so fascinating in this interview is the reporter say to Tiffany something to this effect: Is it true that you knew there was risk involved and that your motto is no fear? Tiffany says that’s true. Isn’t that ironic? Last week, she said about her husband, “He would never put me in a position in danger and we hadn’t heard anything, um, going on over there. We had heard of about the pirates, but we didn’t know…we just hadn’t heard anything recently.”

Read moreWatch Tiffany shake her head in this interview and nod. She is all over the table as is her story.

When the reporter says, “They shot your husband in the back of the head?” Tiffany responds with a shockingly new response, “As far as I know.”

WHAT? If she turned him over, she would know for sure he was shot in the head. Her statement clearly show she is doubting herself. Why would she doubt what she supposedly knows happened? This is a really big red flag.

When Tiffany responds to the accusations that the Mexican authorities don’t believe her, watch how she sobs yet not one tear falls. “He was my rock. He was everything to me,” she says.

She keeps licking her lips in this video. I suspect she has a dry mouth, which can come from being nervous. Why on earth would she be nervous if she has nothing to hide?
