Happy Blogiversary.. To Me


After 879 posts, and 365 days... we've made it. We' ve reached that all important marker in a blogs life... Lost in Lima Ohio is now a year old. 58,872 visitors... 117,550 page views... not to shabby for a little blog from a little town.

I say we, because this lil blog would be nothing without the assistance of all those bloggers who have been kind enough to link to it, from some of the first- Richard at Hyscience, Dan at Riehl World View, and of course I could never forget the grandaddy of crime bloggers, Steve at Huff's Crime Blog, to some of the bloggers who have linked, and linked, and linked again... like Trench at News of Doom, Tina at Randomized Drivel and CUG at The Conservative UAW Guy. Then there are those bloggers who just make life a little more fun for me- Sam at The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns, and Mac at MacStansbury.org There are blogging buddies, J Rob's House of Opinions, A Rose By Any Other Name, Beyond Frazzled, Home Sweet Home, T.O. Crime, SSCAT.

Most important this blog would be nothing without it's readers, and commenters. Yep, all those Anonymous people who read and say nothing, or read and say something... and those who aren't so anonymous too:

Mike, you've always been kind and I have incredible respect for your strength and courage to fight the good fight, you have my support. Suzie, Anna, Mag, Tina, Home Sweet Home, Trench, CUG, ~Mel, Harding, Fixcat, Barn Goddess, ~Miss Lisa, Optymyst, Imahologram, MistyLT, thpunishrr, Capt. Fantastic , bblonde3434, and many many more- thank all of you so much!

Happy Birthday, Lilo!
And folks, she is being modest. She not only has survived her first year, she not only fights the good fight, she also gets the credit/blame for getting me started. Without her assistance, Home Sweet Home would never have been born.
So Lilo, not only Happy Birthday, but a big Thank You also.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house... Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge g...
