Strange news story

You may have heard of the abduction of woman and her 9 year old daughter yesterday in Bucks County,Pa.

The child's father was on morning news show today.

Yesterday, 911 got a call from the woman who said she and her daughter were kidnapped after a fender bender at a very busy intersection. The caller identified herself, and said that she was kidnapped and calling from the trunk of a black Cadillac, and her daughter was left in the SUV.

Phone call was traced to Philadelphia.

This evening, news is saying that mother had pulled daughter out of school on May 1.

Busy intersection, lined with stores that have surveillance systems...no witnesses to the accident and abduction, and nothing on any surveillance tapes.

Mother's SUV has been found in Phila, and recovered...not a scratch on it, nor any signs of a struggle, etc.

This one is really strange.

Film of her husband walking out of the Police station shows him strolling and smiling.

There must be more to this story.

Police now say it was a hoax. Woman caught on security film at airport, she bought tickets to Orlando, Fl.

I don't even know what to say. She left her older daughter behind?? She must have been really desperate to get away from her financial woes because she didn't plan it too well.

I am fairly new to the wonderful world of brugs, though I have a simple white one that I've grown for a few years. I've had the same result. Last year I propagated the plant and took three 'babies' to my boyfriend's mom's house. Her home is in a colder microclimate, and beyond that, on her property, there is a distinct cold pocket. The plant in the cold pocket has normal blooms most of the time, but develops these blooms every fall, although sometimes it also bears the usual, full trumpet types as well at the same time, even on the same branch. I have noticed that the blooms further out along the branches tend to do this more often. I have no idea why this is the case, but I always assumed it was a weather issue interfering with bud formation. The other plants at that property never display this behavior, and are at the top of the hill, in a warmer, more stable microclimate.

I loved JS&MN, so thanks for the heads up. The stories sound like they are similar to the fairy tales in the footnotes of the novel, which I really loved. I am putting it on my TBR and hope to get it from the library also. HA! The ad the came up with this thread is Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses. How wierdly appropriate.

Do you like to read books online Kay? I remember there was a discussion a while back here on that, and most people did not. I always prefer a book but once and awhile I will read a short book/story online. I would never attempt some large Dickens-sized book though! From the written previews on this movie it seems that the story focuses a lot on the romance portion, which there was not much of in the original story. I will probably just wait for it to come out on DVD. If any of you see it let me know how it is. I did read Benjamin Button online before investing in the collected short stories of Fitzgerald. Here is another link to the story if anyone is interested in reading it. CMK Here is a link that might be useful: Fitzgerald short story

I was going by this:

Sweeten has since remarried to Richard Sweeten, who operates a landscaping service. According to her Facebook page, she has three daughters, and is a 1989 graduate of Bensalem High School."

Her older daughter, Paige, 15, wrote on her Facebook page: "im asking everyone, to please pray for my mom and sister pray please."

Mother arrested and expected to be charged with identity theft (she used a co-worker's drivers license for ID at airport)and multiple false police calls. Other charges (theft) may also be made.
Daughter's father flying to Fl to pick her up and bring her home.

The mother has 2 other daughters....a 15 year old and an infant (who was left at daycare when she took off).
