Off Topic: Vinny

/in /by

I happen to run into this woman who on YouTube who has trained her dog amazingly. I thought you might enjoy her story. Check out all of her videos…she’s something really special. The abilities she has to teach Vinny and Vinny’s incredible desire to please her are just amazing!

I hope this gentle soul gets her own TV show some day. She could teach a lot of people some wonderful things! Just watching her moved me to tears…and I am not one to cry easily, but this connection is just awe-inspiring! If only the world had more people like her…

Annette Sykes Speaks About Possible Sighting

/in /by

Annette Sykes talks about possible Haleigh sighting. One reader says it appears as if Sykes has no belief that Haleigh could be found alive and ask me for my opinion.

I personally think Sykes is realistic in that it is not likely that Haleigh is alive, but she does entertain the thought that Walmart likely has a lot of cameras, and if they can get a shot, there is a chance it could be Haleigh. However, Sykes tells us it is hard to hold out hope, because they’ve had their hopes dashed before. This is very logical and realistic.

I do not see any reason to doubt Grandma Sykes.

Tim Miller Speaks about Ron Cummings

/in /by

radio station

There is a radio station, Sky 973, that aired Tim Miller talking about Ronald Cummings this week, and of course, one must take this with a grain of salt, because we aren’t hearing Ronald talk personally. We are hearing Miller share what he believes Ronald said. Words change when people recollect what others say, and so can the meaning of things.

Read moreHowever, if Tim Miller’s account is true and closely resembles what Ronald said, I don’t believe a word Ronald Cummings is saying. It’s completely ridiculous.

Tim Miller says, “Ronald Cummings said, ‘The bitch had something to do with my daughter’s disappearance,’ and he said that she never made the bed that night, she’d been awake all night, she never went to sleep. They did not have any laundry detergent, so she never washed clothes. The only clothes in the dryer were dirty clothes, and Ron Cummings, himself, told me he felt as though Misty was having sex with someone in his house and little Haleigh woke up and said, ‘I’m telling Daddy.’ This came out of Ronald Cummings mouth. The question was asked ‘Why did you marry Misty?’ He said, ‘You keep your friends close, you keep your enemies closer.'”

When I look at this statement and assume it is a true, one thing that absolutely seems plausible is that Ronald would be jealous that Misty might have had sex with some other guy, regardless of whether or not there was any foundation to Ronald’s beliefs. Ronald hits me as the type of guy who, if he couldn’t reach Misty on the phone ONE time (perhaps after an argument), would accuse her of such nonsense.

I also find it laughable that Ronald tells Tim Miller that “you keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” when he refers to Misty and why he married her. If Ron is keeping Misty close to protect himself, but truly dislikes her and sees her as an enemy, his behavior towards her would be noticeably different. At minimum, he would have a hard time disguising it, but he hasn’t given one indication EVER that he is against Misty in any form or fashion. It’s is so obviously clear that he is on Misty’s side that it is indisputable. Period.

Tim Miller went on to say that Ron told him if he could get $35,000 dollars, he could get Haleigh home.

What is so funny about this last statement, if it is a true account, is how could Ronald say this? If he was uninvolved, and doesn’t know anything, how could he make this suggestion?

If only Miller had a real audio tape of Ronald Cummings saying these things, it would be ten times more fascinating. While I have shared with you my opinions, assuming these statements are true and very close to what Ronald could have said, I will personally forget them, because hearsay is not valuable evidence about anything to me. I prefer to depend on watching people for myself, directly, but I know many of you were curious what I thought.

No Mouse: Frog or Toad in Pepsi Can

Drinks can

Here is an update to the Fred and Amy Denegri suspected “mouse in the Pepsi” story that I wrote about several weeks back.

[Pepsi says,]”‘The FDA conducted a thorough inspection of our Orlando facility and found no cause for concern. In this case, the FDA simply was unable to determine when or how the specimen entered the package,’ he said.”

[…] [Amy says,] “The report proves that something was in there. We didn’t do it,” she said. “Obviously, it was too big for us to push inside that small hole.”

[…]The couple doesn’t intend to sue Pepsi, but Amy Denegri said they are receiving legal advice about the matter…[more]

Read moreI think we all knew something was in the can. That wasn’t the debatable aspect of this case.

I do think it is strange the couple is receiving legal advice, if they have no intention to sue. What would be the point of it?

On the flip side, you would think the FDA would investigate through other experts how long it would take for something like this to decay to the state they received it. The rate of decay should give an approximate date of introduction to the can, which would either “pre-” or post date the can back to the Pepsi plant. That would go along way in helping everyone, but then again, maybe they can’t get that precise. I wish they would talk more about this, because a lack of an answer makes me wonder if they could be hiding something. Science is usually pretty precise. Is one can not worth it? Or is there more to this that Pepsi doesn’t want out?

Yet, when I think of a frog or a toad in a Pepsi plant, it seems highly unlikely they would survive getting in the door, and getting on a line–let alone make the perfect jump on to a can, let alone getting inside one. A mouse would seem much more plausible, because they are nimble, but frogs and toads are not. Frogs and toads are much more likely to get squashed, because they are slow to move. I wonder how many frogs or toads have been seen inside a Pepsi plant?

Look here at some of Florida’s frogs and toads.

It appears for now that this one will remain a mystery.

What do you think?

UPDATE: 9-3-2009

CNN is reporting this:

  1. The animal was lacking internal organs normally found in the abdominal and thoracic cavity,” the report notes.

  2. The retired school staffer [Amy] says she and her husband are seeking legal advice to examine their options. “I want to see Pepsi fess up to it and compensate my husband for the negative publicity they have caused,” she said. “I’m easy, but they’re the ones that are making it hard.”

This article says that pepsi runs 1,200 cans on the production line a minute.

I don’t have much to say about this because the video cuts in an out so much in a short period of time. if I do have any thoughts, I will share it below in the comment section. Thanks, C, again for the links.
