Odd Twists
This week as I looked around my usual places to see what odd or unusual happenings have transpired in the last 7 days, I noticed a lot of “same old” crazy. However, there are always a few little quirky details that set some stories apart. So today I am offering up “Crazy with a twist.”
Surprise, Surprise!
Jay Conolly, a 29 year old that was serving a jail sentence in the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Jail, was taken pity on by a 69 year old female (her name is being withheld). The woman had been doing volunteer work in the facility where Jay was incarcerated.

| Surprise! A crook that’s not honest??? |
The woman paid the bail for Connelly and agreed to let him stay at her home in a gated community in Surprise, AZ. According to a report at Fox news, the woman said she thought the two would get married.
On Thursday, however, Connolly and a lady friend, Candy Dean, overpowered the woman, bound her, stole her cell phone, gun, purse and car. Connolly and Dean were apprehended the next morning and charged with kidnapping, aggravated robbery, theft, and theft of means of transportation.
It could be said that I am a cynic….and often is. When I read the part about a 69 year old bailing out a 29 year old and taking him home, I had my doubts. I wasn’t at all surprised that things didn’t turn out quite like she expected. What did surprise me, though…is that it happened in Surprise, AZ.
Speaking of Jails

| After 10 AM and Kierran is still snoozing. |
A man from the UK, Kierran Batchelor, was caught burglarizing homes last February. After being tried, he was sentenced to a suspended sentence and probation. On his release from jail in April he posted to Facebook “IV JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL, IM F**KIN BUZZIN!!!” Evidently his buzz didn’t last very long as he didn’t bother to check in with his probation officer.
According to Batchehlor, the 10 AM meetings weren’t agreeing with his sleep patterns. When he was brought back into court he asked the judge to put him in jail.so he could sleep in.
Batchelor was sentenced to 40 weeks in jail. He thanked the judge on the way out.
Either Keirran has a Vitamin B shortage or he is very confused about the purpose of jails.
Would Your Life Make a Great Movie?
On “My Life Is a Lifetime Movie” viewers met Barbara Reifel. Her husband is serving time for stealing body parts. Yeh,….body parts.

| I considered Lop N Chop…so many choices for a “parts” store. |
After becoming addicted to pain killers, Michael Mastromarino, started his entrepreneurial venture to sell body parts, bones and tissue. Not only did Micheal choose rather unconventional products but some of his merchandise was diseased with Hepatitis, HIV and cancer. Still he managed to make over 4 million dollars in 4 years. He was eventually caught and sentenced to 58 years in prison.
According to one of the investigators in the case, it was stated that he stole parts from more than 1000 bodies and neglected to get permission from any of them. (I am serious…that is what the investigator was quoted as saying)
I don’t know if I am more shocked at the fact that the 1000 or so bodies failed to give their permission or if a person can peddle 4 million dollars worth of body parts for 4 years and no one noticed something was amiss. I might be wrong, but I think if Lifetime Movies reaches out to you, you might have a problem.
What a Clown
Ronald McDonald has admitted to following his ex- wife into a McDonalds. A 50 year old man from Britain, that has the same name as the fast food icon, had been served with a retraining order last September after assaulting his wife and another woman.
However, Ronald wasn’t to be deterred by some restraint and decided to follow her around. On one of his little stalk-abouts, he followed her into the Westwood Cross McDonalds. He, also sent her a text. Both actions violated the restraining order.
Ronald received an 86 day sentence for failing to adhere to the order and is forbidden from contacting his wife for the next three years. (this, of course, remains to be seen as he seems to follow orders so well.)
Poor Ronald McDonald, now has the reputation for being a wife beater and probably isn’t welcome at the local McDonalds.
I am a veteran of corporate moves. Having moved 21 times while my husband climbed the corporate ladder while dragging me up… rung by rung over the course of our 40+ year marriage. I used to delude myself into thinking
that I was middle-age but now realize that I would have to live to be 116 to justify that term. If wisdom comes with age, I am wiser than some, older than many, and more cynical than most. My blog is to jot down the nonsense I
see, hear and think about while I still have all my faculties working.
