Well, with Bernardo, there's always been the speculation that the investigation was not as thorough as it should have been (I'm not the only one convinced Bernardo killed Elizabeth Bain). The good thing that came out of it is that diff police forces now have to compare notes, since that's the reason his rampage went on as long as it did.

Have you decided which one you want to do?

On a diff note - have you read any of Max Haines' books? It's neat in a creepy kinda way to read about killers in your own backyard.

I havent decided wich on to do. Im not doing Bernardo since Ive done a project on him in the past and want to do a new one. I was thinking Pincton - sounds interesting. Im going to look into the other cases first.

My sister reads the books in the family. Im not a reader LOL. I get really bored when reading and takes me months to read a book if I even finish it.

wow, what a great paper. i did a class at college called hunting humans, just like that. our prof wrote a book same name.
i personally find the killers who are very discerning, its makes a great story. also remember that sometimes information can be harder to find in canadian murders. a more modern murderer will have more documentation(even 100-125 years ago) based on fact and not lore,also because of testing, media. good luck with the paper.

Ive taken a few courses like these and love them. I know Canadian murderd are hard to get info (the actual facts). One of my projects we couldnt find any info and ended up calling the police deptment to get some of the info.

Ok, I finally have 5 minutes to sit down, and I need to ask all of you for some prayers! You might have noticed I'm not my usual chatty self lately.. First, nothing is wrong with the baby, in case that is your immediate thought. She is just fine, though I cannot say when she'll be arriving. I think they might have my due date pretty wrong, since I am contracting all the time!

Anyway.. We've been having some pretty hard to deal with issues lately. For any of you that don't know, I'm not a Canadian resident yet, technically. I moved here a few years ago, and applied for Permanent Residency. My application was re-submitted a bit more than a year ago, since there were some issues with the fact that I applied "the wrong way" and should have applied as Sponsored by my husband. That is why my immigration is taking so long.

When I moved here, I had previously been working in the states for the US Postal service, as well as in a hospital. My health insurance was really good, so I applied to keep it using a program they have for that kind of thing, and I pay around $3k a year to keep it up. It functions like traveler's insurance, and up till now I haven't had any problems with it.

There is really only one hospital here in London that delivers babies. I go there for all my appointments, since they have a women's OB clinic there as well. I got a call from the hospital a little more than a month ago, saying they had an issue with me. They said that my 2nd daughter's birth had never been paid for by my insurance. This boggled my mind, since she is almost 2, and I've not heard of this till now?? So they suddenly say that because I am not a permanent resident yet, they are refusing me any kind of treatment at the hospital until I pay my outstanding bill. Well, come to find out, my insurance has been refusing ALL my bills since Monet's birth, and I owe around $16,000!!! (This includes my emergency gallbladder surgery) This is NOT the worst part.

The worst part is... apparently, according to the provincial government, they can consider deporting me for non-payment of my bills at the hospital. You are not supposed to rack up debt you cannot afford to pay in the province where you reside while you are waiting for approval of your permanent residency application. It is pretty clearly stated in all the application forms. They don't want to hear that I didn't know it was happening, they just know that it exists, and I am in clear violation of the rules.

The insurance company has been refusing the bills because I apparently didn't follow THEIR rules for certain types of "Claim submission", and my lawyer says that it is very evident that they are not required to pay. He's tried everything, but you all probably know how stateside insurance companies work.

Sooo.. we paid back about $6500 of the bills so far, but we need to come up with the rest before the beginning of August, or I can be deported. That is when the statute requires them to wait until, and I know they'll never give me even one extra day. They also CAN refuse to deliver this baby at the hospital, but the nurses in the maternity ward have ASSURED me they will not do it, that they will deliver the baby no matter what. I don't know what we'd do if they didn't all like me and agree that it was insane to deny me if I was in labor.. I can't go into the states right now, or they will not allow me back into Canada because of my status.

So anyway.. any prayers you can spare in our direction are very appreciated. Just typing all this out has made me feel a bit better... You guys are the closest thing to family I have! My husband's family is all kinda crazy, and I only have about 3 people left in my family, and that number includes my crazy brother and his fruity wife

It is funny how writing something down can make you feel better. I should have kept a journal when I was a teenager

Love ya all! Gotta go make sure the 4 year old is really only playing with her playdoh and not making castles out of playdoh and placemats like last time

thank you for the new words

Hi lolcat,
That must be so frustrating for you! As if being so close to delivering wasn't stressful enough, now you all of that to deal with. I'm sending prayers your way. Hopefully you and your family can find some way to come up with the rest of the money in time, or better yet the lawyer can find some loophole. You have been paying 3K a year and they should be doing something for you. The insurance company should have been sending you some kind of denial statements but things probably work differently in the US.
I had my second child at the London hospital and the nurses there are all superb. If they have told you that they will deliver the baby, they will.

Keep your chin up, and take care of yourself most importantly.
