I try to get along with everyone ...but if someone offends me(which it takes alot) especially when I share something personal with them and they use it against me or make fun of it ...I ignore them.

For instance i shared something on a thread about a painful time in my life...This person who I thought was my friend came back with a joke about it. I now ignore that person and I learned not to share anything personal on this board again.

Do you have a sense of humor?

in the movie 'my blue heaven' steve martin's charactor claims, "everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, even when they don't!

" do you laugh easily and often?

i am always looking for new material and have about 150 jokes at my disposal.

I cannot tell a funny joke or story to save my life...I always forget the punch line or screw it up.

I am more of the spur of the momemt type person.. I have great comebacks (I least I think I do) People tell me I'm quick witted. I'm also really good at puns. Things just pop in my head and come out. I can't stand sex or racial jokes, I'm more of the corny type.

"following the light of the sun, we left the old world.

some of you understand my struggles with depression in the past.

RubyTuesday

I used to be depressed until I decided to focus on the good things in my life. I am also in better tune with myself. Sometimes I THINK I'm depressed but really I might just be too tired and need to sleep or maybe I'm just hungry. I also keep very busy and try to think about others rather than myself. Exercise really makes me feel better also...

Here is my quote for the day;

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us

Agent says Longo confessed

The accused killer's attorney asks the judge to exclude alleged comments from trial

October 3, 2002
By MATT SABO - Correspondent, The Oregonian

An FBI agent testified Wednesday that Christian Michael Longo confessed to killing his wife and three young children, although Longo wouldn't say how.

Special Agent Daniel C. Clegg said during a pre-trial hearing in Lincoln County Circuit Court that Longo confessed on a Jan. 14 flight to Houston after being arrested in a Mexican beach town.

Clegg said during the flight he told Longo his theory: Longo's wife, MaryJane, caught him molesting one of his children and she was injured in the ensuing fight.

"And then you killed them," Clegg said he told Longo.

After a pause, Clegg said, Longo responded: "The scenario that you just told me could not be further from the truth."

Clegg said he asked Longo why. "He told me, 'I sent them to a better place.' "

That prompted soft sobbing from Penny Dupuie, MaryJane's sister, watching in the courtroom.

On Tuesday, Presiding Judge Robert J. Huckleberry entered a plea of not guilty for Longo, 28, who declined to plea. Longo faces seven counts of aggravated murder -- and the death penalty if convicted -- for allegedly killing his wife, MaryJane, 34, and their three small children: Zachery, 4, Sadie, 3, and Madison, 2.

Longo's court-appointed attorney, Ken Hadley, is attempting have Longo's comments to Clegg and other statements he made to investigators thrown out. Hadley argues that Clegg did not properly administer Longo his Miranda rights after his arrest in Mexico and that Clegg did not tell Longo he had a right to contact the U.S. Consular's Office in Cancun.

Hadley argues that contacting the U.S. Consular would have led Longo to an attorney and he wouldn't have made incriminating statements.

Longo, wearing a light brown three-piece suit, remained composed throughout most of the hearing, even smiling at Clegg at the conclusion of a morning recess.

But in the afternoon, Longo struggled to control his emotions as Ralph Turre, a Lincoln County Sheriff's investigator, described talking to Longo about the killings.

Turre said he tried to get Longo to tell him whether he killed MaryJane first or 2-year-old Madison:

" 'Did you go to Madison first?' " Turre said he asked.

" 'No.' " Longo answered.

Turre said he then asked Longo why he chose MaryJane first.

" 'I know you're not going to like it, but I'm going to wait,' " Longo replied. Longo said he wanted to talk to someone first, Turre said.

Turre also testified about what he thought Longo meant in saying that he sent his family "to a better place."

Longo was raised as a Jehovah's Witness but had been disfellowshipped in Michigan after he ran afoul of the law.

During an interview with Longo in a Houston FBI office Jan. 14, Turre said that Roy Brown, an Oregon State Police investigator, told Longo that normally men who kill their families kill themselves.

Then Brown asked Longo why he didn't kill himself.

"There was a long pause," Turre said, "and I interjected, 'The reason you didn't do that is because you're not right with Jehovah yet.' He said, 'That's right.' "

More hearings on various pre-trial motions will continue Oct. 18. On Dec. 10 and 11, Huckleberry will hear arguments from Hadley and prosecutors on Hadley's request to move the trial out of Lincoln County due to heavy media publicity.
