Angry Soccer Mom Accused of Neglect

LINCOLN, Neb. - An angry soccer mom who left her teenage daughter alongside an interstate was ticketed for neglect, Lincoln police said Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Katherine Finnell confirmed this account from police reports:

The 42-year-old Lincoln mom was miffed about her daughter's poor play on Saturday.

On their drive home the girl flubbed the lines her mom had drilled into her on how to improve her game, so the mother slapped her daughter.

The girl told her mom to pull over. The mom did, near the downtown Lincoln exit off Interstate 80.

The mom yelled at the girl to get out. When she did, her mom drove off.

A teammate's parent spotted the girl alongside the interstate, stopped to pick her up, then took her to their home and called police.

    All: I especially like the part where she slapped her daughter for flubbing her lines! Simply amazing.

    This sort of reminds me of William Hurt in Broadcast News when they flashback to him as a kid and he gives a bad report card to his dad. His dad is about to let him have it, but he goes on the offense and rattles off a speach about having to do better in school to reach his potential. "I will get better. I will.... I will, I will!! Thanks dad for this lecture with me. I think it really helped."

    Too bad the psycho soccer mom's kid has probably never seen it.

    Boob Lady: I have heard the term mema, but don't know what it means. I am assuming mom, is that right?

Handicapped Assessable. What does it mean to you? We have seen some pretty poor modifications in our time of pushing Skyler around, but absolutely nothing that compares to this series of pictures from overseas. I will never complain again! (well, yes I will, but only when I really need to...)

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
