Did you hear?

Yesterday, I posted about some strange people who call our customer service department at my day job. I just heard my local 11 pm TV news about a very strange situation. A woman was found stuck to her toilet. Not just stuck, but she'd sat on the seat so long, her skin had grown around it. Can you imagine? Supposedly, she's not left her bathroom in two years. Her boyfriend's been bringing her food and water for all that time. He finally called the authorities very recently because his girlfriend grew ill. The authorities had to remove her with the toilet to get her out. She's in the hospital now and the boyfriend may be up on charges. I feel sorry for someone like that. I suppose she had a phobia or mental illness. On a much different note, I see that I've had at least two visitors from South America now. I like to look at my visitor map. North America is covered. Britain and Europe has brought me a lot of visitors. Some from Australia and Asia. There's no one from Africa yet. Does this mean that a lot of people in Africa don't own computers or if they do, they don't blog and surf? I see a lot of articles from South Africans on the net, so I thought I'd eventually see a visitor from that country. We'll see. If you joined the NOR (Night Owl Romance chat) tonight, I must apologize. I came for about 35 minutes, from 8-8:35 p.m. It was just my turn to be in the spotlight and my laptop died. The battery ran out of juice. Wouldn't you know it? This is because I was also at my daughter's softball game outside, so I had no power outlets and was strictly on battery power and using my hubby's Internet card. It's just my luck that it cut out on my at just that second. Oy!
