FREAKY: Caution the Following News Story is Disturbing

'It was her choice'
By Roxana Hegeman, ASSOCIATED PRESS, 3:42 a.m. March 13, 2008

WICHITA, Kan. – A 35-year-old woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time he called police had a phobia about leaving the bathroom, the boyfriend said.

“She is an adult; she made her own decision,” said her boyfriend, Kory McFarren. “I should have gotten help for her sooner; I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it.”
Advertisement The case drew nationwide attention after Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat in the two years she apparently was in the bathroom.

“We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,” Whipple said. “The hospital removed it.”

McFarren, 36, said he can't be certain how long Pam Babcock stayed in the bathroom because “time just went by so quick I can't pinpoint how long.” He said beatings she received in her childhood caused her phobia.

“It just kind of happened one day; she went in and had been in there a little while, the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay – like it was a safe place for her,” McFarren said.

But McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into the clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and had an otherwise normal relationship – except it all happened in the bathroom.

McFarren said he finally called police Feb. 27 after he became worried because Babcock was acting groggy – like she didn't know what was going on, except she was awake. What emergency responders found when they went into bathroom has left residents of this small western Kansas town buzzing, and law enforcement officials incredulous.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to mid-thigh. She was “somewhat disoriented,” and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said. “She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,” Whipple said. “It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself.”

She initially refused emergency medical services, but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital. “She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave,” he said.

Whipple said the county attorney will determine whether any charges should be filed against McFarren. McFarren, who works at an antique store, said he has been taking care of Babcock for the 16 years they have lived together. He insisted that he tried to coax her out of the bathroom every day.

“And her reply would be, 'Maybe tomorrow,'” Whipple said. “According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.” She was reported in fair condition Wednesday at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Babcock has an infection in her legs that has damaged her nerves, and there is a possibility she may wind up in a wheelchair, McFarren said. James Ellis, a neighbor, said he had known the woman since she was a child, but that he had not seen her for at least six years. “I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it,” Ellis said.

Babcock had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up, he said. “It really doesn't surprise me,” Ellis said. “What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier.”

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

THROWBACK: BETTER OFF DEAD

I would like to take a moment and pay homage to probably one of the best 80's movies, EVER!! Better Off Dead was on cable this weekend... I have to admit.. it was funnier now then it was back then... probably because I didn't understand some of the scenarios when I was 8 years old... hahaha
My two favorite scenes are Christmas morning when the family is opening presents.. All the frozen TV dinners from Mom!! (something my own mother would do).. And Charles De Mar giving Lane a pep talk about skiing the K12 and Charles screaming about the street value of the mountain... HAHAHA!!
From the Lovable Characters... Lane Myer, Mrs. Myer, Charles De Mar, the Paper Boy, Ricky, Monique Junot and the Wacky Humor... (Some of which I still quote daily)... I think this movie is an absolute Classic!!
I love 80's Movies... I highly recommend curling up with some pop corn and lots of blankets on a rainy Sunday afternoon and laughing your ass off to John Cusack and "Better Off Dead."

WORD OF THE WEEK: SLANG

Slang
Def. 1.) Unofficial language (words or grammar) or interpretation of language, usually because the language is too recent or not used widespread enough to be assimilated officially. Slang exists in pretty much every language, and is part of the natural evolution of a language

Def. 2.) Future cause of illiteracy

... kicking off our Word of the Week entry... I figured the word SLANG is pretty apprioriate...

PEOPLE: BJORK

"i have been asked by many for a statement after dedicating my song "declare independence" to both kosovo and tibet ( amongst others ) on different occasions. "

"i would like to put importance on that i am not a politician, i am first and last a musician and as such i feel my duty to try to express the whole range of human emotions. the urge for declaring independence is just one of them but an important one that we all feel at some times in our lives. this song was written more with the personal in mind but the fact that it has translated to its broadest meaning, the struggle of a suppressed nation, gives me much pleasure

i would like to wish all individuals and nations good luck in their battle for independence. "

justice !

warmth , björk.

WHICH WAS HER RESPONSE TO THE SITUATION REPORTED ABOUT BELOW

Bjork's Cry for Tibet Draws Ire of Chinese Government,

AP Says By Mark Schoifet

March 7 (Bloomberg) -- China plans to crack down on foreign performers after the Icelandic singer Bjork yelled ``Tibet, Tibet'' at the end of her concert in Shanghai this week, the Associated Press reported. Bjork's comments ``broke Chinese law and hurt Chinese people's feelings,'' the Culture Ministry said in a statement today, according to AP. The singer's actions drew rare attention inside China to the government's 58-year rule over the Himalayan region, AP said. China's often harsh treatment of Tibet has drawn frequent condemnation from foreign governments and activists, the wire service said.

Many Tibetans consider the exiled Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama to be their rightful leader. The government statement, posted on the Culture Ministry's Web site, also said ``there is no country that admits that Tibet is an `independent country.''' Bjork shouted ``Tibet'' after performing the song ``Declare Independence'' on March 2. The quirky singer, known for her odd outfits and unorthodox vocal stylings, has performed the song to support Kosovo and other independence movements in the past, AP said.
