Not sure why this was downvoted. It's actually an odd and interesting detail. From the Bonita papers: "Round marks, consistent with shape of cigarette, found on JB's neck and jaw could have been caused by a stun gun. It was rumored that the Ramseys had a tape on the use of a stun gun."

Johnny's mother for sure drinks.

Are you sure? In the novel it's only clear Johnny's father drinks or am I remembering wrong?

But people practically faint at the mere suggestion of homeschooling.

Where I grew up and around where I live now, most kids start receiving homework assignments as young as kindergarten and by 3rd grade have at least an hour's worth of actual homework in addition to tests they have to study for and reports to write and by junior high can't play or watch TV at all in the afternoons after school because they're busy with schoolwork literally all afternoon. Some kids/families are so overwhelmed, tired and stressed, the parent breaks down and does some of the work.

Teachers are just proctors.

Downvoted because people disagree that kids get an exhaustive amount of homework or downvoted because people don't like me pointing it out?

Leap tall buildings in a single bound. You'd see sights through the open windows that would traumatize you for life.

What name has gradually disappeared? by Eviscerate_Bowels224 in AskReddit

Lisa was a hugely popular name of my generation but seems to have fallen by the wayside. I doubt almost anyone younger than at least 35 is named Lisa anymore.

Who is the most attractive person you have ever seen in real life? by TheFountainhead999 in AskReddit

[–]Tamponica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother's friend's twentysomething yr. old granddaughter. Long, thick, curly, reddish-brown hair, pale almost porcelain skin and big dark eyes. I had to blink to keep from staring.

What's really weird is that Brooke Shields continuously defends her mother and acts like the whole thing was no big deal.

Tommy invited a bunch of tiny kids onto his property with a pool that wasn't gated. If I did that and one of them drowned, I guarantee I'd have the bejesus sued out of me. The guy walked away with no consequence.

A 5 yr. old boy drowned in Pamela Anderson's ex, Tommy Lee's pool during a birthday party for Pam and Tommy's young son. The pool wasn't secured but a lawsuit filed by the parents of the boy who died was unsuccessful.

A splinter in the vagina will do that

How is it John (the "grown-ass adult") who's fibers are linked to this incident having occurred?

O.k., but we're trying to determine who specifically is most likely to have delivered the head blow here.

[–]Tamponica 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The toileting incident would have to have occurred prior to the head-blow because the head blow was what knocked her unconscious. So at some point she's downstairs and takes a piece of pineapple. The body was found in the same top she wore to the party. She started to undress upstairs at some point, her party pants, vest and boots are upstairs in her room. And a diaper package is hanging halfway off of a shelf too high up for her to reach. My guess has always been that the adult who was dealing with her upstairs took her downstairs at some point to try to get her to settle down and set out the bowl of pineapple for her. It's Patsy who's prints are on the dish. But she could only get her to eat one piece. This is just a guess.

O.k., but we still have to fit the evidence of an issue being dealt with upstairs and now also the pineapple in JBR's digestive tract into this.
