Woman Sentenced to Jail for Filthy House
You know..I use to think at times I was a slob..LOL But I guess after reading this, I am quite clean in this respect, with my house. My Lord I have seen homes like this, but never as bad as this. You would wonder how people could live like this ? The smell alone...And the FLIES!!
OMAHA, Neb;"After ignoring six years of prodding from the city, a woman is going to jail for having a filthy house. A Douglas County judge Thursday sentenced Rosie Fellman to 45 days behind bars for littering, with breaks every 10 days to clean up her central Omaha home. Trash and debris has been piled up to 5 feet deep in the house and garage, which are a health and fire hazard, the city's chief housing inspector Kevin Denker said. Last month, inspectors found more than 100 garbage cans in the driveway. City Prosecutor Marty Conboy said the city has spent six years trying to get Fellman to clean up. There was not much else the judge could do, Conboy said. At the end of Fellman's sentence, the judge will decide if she has improved the homes condition. If not, she could be sentenced to another 45 days in jail. The city has ordered the home demolished, but Fellman, who lives alone, is appealing the order. "If she doesn't clean it out we'll just tear down everything," Denker said."
Heads -up to all you Men
Okay guys just trying to give you some free fashion, don't get mad!
MSN;"Walk through your average mall, and what do you see? Guys who clearly don’t read G.Q. These guys pay attention to other guys who, fashion-wise, are stuck in 1987. Thus these mall-walkers are, in a sense, trendsetters, albeit most of the trends they set are seriously lame. This isn’t to say you have to emulate a G.Q. boy to look good, but you’d do well to avoid the following: The ponytail. If you’re sporting a long ponytail, the general public might think you’re a wannabe hippie. If you’re sporting a medium-sized ponytail, the general public might think you’re too lazy to get a haircut. If you’re sporting a short ponytail, the general public might think you’re a hopelessly out-of-touch record executive. Nicely styled long hair is perfectly swell—just leave that scrunchy at home. The single earring. Back in the ’80s, it was said that if a guy wore only one earring, you could get an idea of his sexual preference, depending on which of his lobes was pierced. Today, if a guy wears one earring, you can get an idea of his lack of taste, regardless of which lobe is pierced. Get both ears pierced and be symmetrical, or don’t get pierced at all. (Note: A single earring often shares a head with a ponytail. This is a situation where two wrongs most definitely don’t make a right.) Loafers without socks. Sockless loafers with jeans don’t work. Sockless loafers with shorts don’t work. Sockless loafers with anything don’t work. Plus most loafers don’t breathe well, so if you wear them sans socks, you run the risk of developing toe cheese. The goatee. A quick refresher course in facial hair terminology: A Van Dyke is a mustache/chin-hair combo, and if you keep it neatly trimmed, it can look very cool. A soul patch is a little blip of hair under your lower lip, and if it’s carved and sized just right, it too can be exceedingly hip. A goatee is a blob of hair on your chin, and it isn’t the least bit stylish—it just looks like somebody glued a blob of hair on your chin. The comb-over. If you develop male-pattern baldness, roll with it. Take what you have, and get it styled so it looks, y’know, stylish. Or, if there’s not enough there to style—and if you have a nicely shaped head—chop it all off. Not only will a total buzz make you look enigmatic and dangerous, but it’ll give you the opportunity to fudge the truth about your scalp: “I’m not going bald—I have tons of hair. I just like the way it looks when it’s shaved.”
