ETA: She's been found and wants to come home! Also removed the pictures as they are no longer needed.

Note - this is not my daughter, I am simply copying and pasting someone else's post.

She may change her destination if she knows she is being looked for. She's supposedly traveling with 2 guys named Tim and Josh, both Caucasian, early 20s or late teens, one with a "cholo tear" tattoo near his eye. She's 5'5", 120#, reddish-blonde hair, long bangs and sidelocks, short in back, always wears her jean vest with studs and patches on it. She may be begging for spare change. If you see her, *please* contact me ( bifemmefatale@livejournal.com ) and the police! 16 is too young to be running around the country on her own. I'm very worried for her safety. Thanks in advance.





ETA: her dad says she left her pack with him, so all she has is what she was wearing: the vest in the pic, a Cannibal Corpse hoodie, a black lace-trimmed cami, jeans and ankle-length black leather boots.

More of an ETA: No new word from or about Mo. The bus she was on does not actually stop in Carbondale. She may have gotten off in St. Louis or Columbia, MO, so any extra eyes in those areas would be welcome. She may go somewhere else entirely now that she knows we are looking for her at the Rainbow Gathering. I have heard that some of her gutterpunk friends are wintering in Texas. She could, frankly, be headed for any city anywhere in the US at this point.

I have left a message for her at 1-800-runaway, and if she calls there they will provide her with a way to get a message to me, conflict mediation, or, if she so chooses, a free ride home.

And another update: Mo was spotted by a couple different people in Murphysboro IL tonight headed for the gathering near Harrisburg!! Please keep looking near there! She is with 2 guys, Tim and Josh. Tim has a tear tattoo and a white supremacist gang tat on his arm. They are probably hitching. Mo is using the alias Valia O'Donnell.

CALL POLICE. Then call me (number written on original poster's LJ - follow the link if you need it)

If you have an adult loved one die, check with all the cemeteries to see if they had pre-purchased things needed for their burial. It's amazing how often people don't check and pay for seconds of everything.

If you can afford it, buy stuff for yourself now. Plots that people purchased in their 20s and are just now using sold back then for under $100, and are now selling for over $2000.

Leave explicit instructions in your will what you want done with your body, and to not do anything different with it later. Otherwise if your surviving spouse re-marries, they may have you dug up, cremated, and keep you in the back of their closet so that they and their new spouse can be buried together in your plot. Or your children may chose to keep your plot for themselves, have you cremated, and stuff you in a closet, or ship you across the country to somewhere you didn't want to be.

Don't ever have a loved one dug up, they will come back to haunt (not literally) the cemetery workers.

I can't afford a Christmas tree this year. I stopped by the Christmas tree place to see what they were going to do with branches stripped off trees in hopes I could tie a bunch together or something. They pointed me to their garbage pile, which included a bunch of wreaths.

I took a bunch of the wreaths in different sizes, stacked them together to make an approximately Christmas tree shape, and stuck a few branches in the top. It looks kinda like a tree.

Did my son look sad or disappointed, or even say that it wasn't the same? Nope. He smiled, and said "It looks great, you did good, mom!"

I love my kid.

The Merchants of Deva are a non-profit arts and events production organization.

My son is spending the night with his dad, and there really isn't a damned thing to do. Thought about going to the merc, but without knowing if anyone will be there or not (and it's probably too late to try and find out if anyone is going), I don't want to waste the gas. Anyone have ideas of things to do that don't involve a ton of planning?

I've been offered a ride up to the Merc on Sat, and I'm tempted to go. Is anyone planning on being there? I would hate to go and then be stuck only knowing the person I get a ride from.

Snow? AGAIN?!?!?

OK, after seing so many people around LJ with these, I couldn't help it. I had to get some dragon eggs. Please click and help them hatch!

I know there are at least 2 people on my friends list who are pregnant or want to be pregnant. I found a website where you can get a free copy of the book "what to expect when you're expecting" I have to say I adored this book when I was pregnant.
