I just wanted to take a minute to say that I LOVE my microwave oven! If I did not have a microwave oven, every single meal of mine would be eaten COLD! My mother-in-law tells me that when her kids were young, she NEVER had a hot meal! With the magic of microwave ovens, if my supper gets cold because I have to stop eating and tend the baby, with just 45 seconds and a push of the button when the baby is settled, my meal is hot again! I LOVE the modern world, and I’m glad I did not have to be a “mother” in “the good old days” when the microwave oven was not in existence!

I was reading the Time.com website and just found out that Estelle Getty, the little old lady dearly known as “Sophia” on the television series “The Golden Girls” died at the age of 84 earlier today.  I was very surprised to learn that she was only 84!  The makeup artists did such a good job of making her look older than she was – she was only in her 60s when she was making the television show, playing the part of a woman in her 80’s.  I don’t know the cause of her death, only that she died today.  She will be missed.

Last week I read a story about how the beaches on Martha’s Vineyard were closed due to a shark scare. Today I was reading on MSNBC.NBC.com that the reason they were closed was that a 60 year old man had claimed to see two large great white sharks swimming near the beach while he was working on a fishing boat. As a precaution the beaches were closed to swimmers. Upon further investigation, the authorities asked the man what boat he was working on. The man told them the name of a boat and the name of the boat owner; neither one exist. So that has been determined to be a hoax, and the man has been charged with disorderly conduct.

Just before I came on my blog this morning I was reading my emails and after that a page from yahoo popped up that showed a headline about an airline flight diversion involving a soccer team.  Well, of course I had to click on the story and see what was up.   From what I understand an American Airlines flight was on its way to Los Angelas from Boston when one of the passengers just totally flipped out.  He started crying and talking gibberish, then went into the restroom and stripped naked.

The coach of a soccer team that was on the flight went up the the man when he left the restroom and told him to put his clothes back on.  The naked man complied, but upon leaving the restroom he bolted to the emergency exit door and tried to open it!  Now keep in mind the plane was in flight; opening the emergency exit door while the plane is flying is NOT a good thing to do!  The man was then subdued by several members of the soccer team and then flight attendants tied him to one of the airline seats to keep him contained until the plane landed.  The plane was diverted to land in Oklahoma to remove the man, who was taken into custody by the police and taken to a psychiatric facility.

Now that’s one adventure I’m glad I missed!

 An American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to Oklahoma City on Friday after a passenger stripped nude and later tried to open an emergency exit door before being subdued by members of a professional soccer team and others, the FBI said.
