What a surprise. I know George Stoll quite well and have met his sister "Mink" on many occasions. Sister-in-law? Hmmm.

I never met Glen Milstead, but when a friend of mine created "Graveline Tours" (a tour in a hearse showing Hollywood's many death, sin, and scandal sites) Glen was his very first customer and John Waters followed a month later

In fact I was just picturing you in Mink's role as Peggy Gravel in "Desperate Living."

Peggy Gravel: Why did you tell me to come this way, Grizelda? You know I hate nature! Look at those disgusting trees, stealing my oxygen. Oh, I can't stand this scenery another minute. All natural forests should be turned into housing developments! I want cement covering every blade of grass in this nation. Don't we taxpayers have a voice anymore???

**
Neighborhood boy: I'm sorry my baseball broke your window Mrs. Gravel, I'll pay for it out of my allowance.

Peggy Gravel: Your baseball almost killed me. What about my life? Do you get enough allowance to pay for that too? Go home to your mother! Doesn't she ever want you? Tell her this isn't some sort of Communist daycare center! Tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother I hate you! Tell your mother I hate everybody.

Telephone rings ...

Peggy Gravel: Hello? What number are you calling?! You've dialed the wrong number! Sorry -- what good is that? How could you ever repay me for the thirty seconds you've stolen from my life.

Grace, doesn't this story just make you sick?

The state threatened to take a newborn away from his loving Mom & Dad, and place their newborn baby only days old into the revolving door of foster care, simply because the couple is blind and the State is clueless as to how effective blind people are taking care of their children.

Wouldn't it be cheaper for the state to have someone check in on the loving parents for the first few months, rather than pay $1,500 per month to some stranger in the foster care system?

I mean how absurd.
