911 DISPATCH AUDIO: TikToker Sarah Grace Patrick, 17. The mother & step-father are cold to the touch

From the moment that 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick called police around 7 a.m. or so on Thursday, February 20, 2025, to report her mother and step-father were "cold to the touch" the suspicions of law enforcement officers kicked into gear. https://youtu.be/L8FvHgEGTWA?si=kT3SNOSrni68W3PO You can hear several officers confirming with the dispatch operator that the 5-bedroom, 1-bathroom home on Tyus Carrollton Road in Carrollton, Georgia, was indeed the scene of two deceased people, like they couldn't believe their ears. Carrollton is a mid-sized city, about 45 miles west of Atlanta, near the Alabama state line. It offers a blend of suburban feel with access to amenities and a strong sense of community.  However, the peace was shattered when Sarah's 5-year-old sister discovered her parents gone that morning, from apparent gunshot wounds. Things got weirder in the wake of the deaths, when Sarah's behavior struck some people as off-putting. Sarah gave a long, tearfu...

Ted Williams woman black-and-white photo circa 1960

Can anyone identify this beautiful lady? This is an iso from a shot of her with baseball star Ted Williams in about 1960. The Vintage Baseball Photos community is going crazy trying to identify her.

That time I almost deleted my 10-year-old blog...

#StraightOutta A photo posted by Paula Mooney (@paulanealmooney) on Aug 7, 2015 at 1:59pm PDT Do you ever look at old stuff you've written and wonder who in the hell you were trying to be? Who you wanted to impress? That's kind of how I felt looking back at this old blog, with my last update nearly one year ago. Well, I'm done with the fakeness and almost considered deleting this blog -- until I realized it would be 10 years old come December 2015. That's something else! So onward and forward and upward...but only in a more truthful, interesting manner.

My weight update, Elance income, Yahoo Voices closing and more...

Might as well pop off a blog post where I can capture my latest weight loss updates and more, seeing as  though I love to track this info for reference's sake when I look back over my journey. Back on December 3, 2013, I wrote about trying to deny that my home scale read that I weighed 180.4 pound s. Today, August 1, 2014, nearly eight months later, I'm grateful that my home scale showed that I weighed 157.8 pounds, about 23 pounds down from where I was on the day I realized it was seriously time to turn things around. (Yes, my weight above from my trainer 's scale shows 161.6 pounds currently, because I weighed myself the first thing this morning -- and I love to go with the lowest weight!) So the strength training is working, along with running those 5Ks on the treadmill or sweating it out on the elliptical machine -- and let's not forget how much I love the MyFitnessPal app to keep track of my calories. I love that the app asked me if I wanted to adjust my new ...

I guess I should update this blog more...I'm 161ish pounds now - and look at this cool pic

Yes, I've been a busy little bee, writing and working out and walking and riding my bike and so much more. Bless the Lord I'm down to 161-something pounds, all thanks to my fun bootcamp classes at Max Life Training , that lovely MyFitnessPal app, and an epiphany I had in Cincinnati that I wanted to try and elimination diet that included going gluten-free and dairy-free to see if that would clear up my adult acne. Thankfully, it's working and I'm losing weight in a good and healthy manner. Plus, I'm writing to much for my Elance clients that I've barely put much focus on this blog, but I always come back. One of my clients is a photo-editing service, and I thought it was a cool perk to have him transform my pic above into something so different and creative. Just another perk of writing online. Okay, so stick with me if you're still looking for freelance writing tips. (I tell all my friends to try and get jobs through Elance -- whatever ty...

Down to 175.8 pounds and reducing: Weight training, "clean" eating and lots of Jesus...

Trying to look thinner... There I am, taking a weight-loss progress selfie in the hallway mirror to find my skinniest looking pose. The last time I wrote about my weight on this blog I confessed that I had hit 180 pounds , even though the gym's scale said 183 pounds back then. I thought 180 was a nice round number -- and it was lower than the gym's scale because it was my so-called flush weight, what I weighed first thing in the morning -- my thinnest poop-everything-out weight. Anyway, today I'm grateful to God that the scale is going down in a good way and my weight read 175.8 pounds this Friday, on my weigh-in day, which is nearly 5 pounds less than that 180-pound point that I knew had to be my turn around. What changed?  Well, the last time I wrote about my love of Robek's green smoothies and I have still been doing plenty of those kale and spinach combined with fruit and protein smoothies that I absolutely love. (My kids like them, too.) And I...
