Authorities allege Kendra Licari secretly sent her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend thousands of hateful messages. "We had tens of thousands of text messages, whether they were messages that were just for her daughter or some of her daughter's friends," Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney David Barberi said. "And, you know, the digital footprint was just insane." According to prosecutors, Licari's daughter first received these messages in early 2021. The daughter and her boyfriend's parents then reported it to officials at their school, who later referred the situation to law enforcement. But the messages allegedly continued. Investigators claimed that they discovered Licari was the source when they traced the messages back to her this spring. "Even when we realized that it wasn't a kid, we weren't expecting that it would be a parent," Beal City Public Schools Superintendent William Chilman said. "When they informed us later in the spring that they were suspecting that it possibly was her, it was as a shock to all of us, I think everybody involved." Authorities say Licari used software to hide the origin of the messages, using several numbers and area codes, even allegedly trying to make it look like her daughter's classmates were behind it all. "In doing so, it would shield her and kind of cloak her identity or her digital identity," Barberi explained. "But eventually, we were able to see that her IP address was popping in and out right before and right after these messages were going through." Licari is facing five charges, including stalking a minor and obstruction of justice. She was released on a $5,000 bond. Police documents show when she was confronted with the evidence, she admitted the messages came from her. She and her attorney said they have no comment at this time. The mother did not elaborate on her motive for allegedly targeting her daughter and her daughter's then-boyfriend. Licari is due back in court later in December to determine whether or not there is sufficient information to proceed forward with a case. ___________________________________________________ Wall Creeper ___________________________________________________ >From Bill After playing 18 holes of golf, our foursome was sitting around the clubhouse settling our bets when another golfer stormed in.

After walking around for several minutes he grabbed a large can of beans and moved on to the cashier. He placed the can down on the counter, opened his trench coat and slapped his penis down next to the beans. The shocked cashier picked up the can and proceeded to slam it repeatedly down on the flasher's private parts. He screamed and passed out from the pain. The police were called and in the memo section of the incident report the responding officer wrote, "He should have practised with a loaf of bread." _______________________________________________ In the beginning, God created earth and rested.

"Well, Ensign, it's history and tradition. First, we give you a gold bar representing that you're valuable BUT malleable. The silver bar of a Lieutenant Junior Grade represents value, but less malleable. When you make Lieutenant, you're twice as valuable so we give you two silver bars. "As a Captain, you soar over military masses, hence the eagle. As an Admiral, you're obviously a star. That answer your question?" "Yes, Sir, but what about Commanders and Lieutenant Commanders?" "Now that goes waaaaaay back in history. Back to the Garden of Eden even. You see, if you look at that stained glass window on the chapel over there, even in the Garden of Eden some things were always covered with leaves." ____________________________________________________ Today, December 24 in 1814, The War of 1812 between the U.S. and Britain was ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium. 1818, Franz Gruber of Oberndorf, Germany composed the music for "Silent Night" to words written by Josef Mohr. 1828, William Burke who, with his partner William Hare, dug up the dead and murdered to sell the corpses for dissection, went on trial in Edinburgh. 1851, A fire devastated the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, destroying about 35,000 volumes. 1865, Several veterans of the Confederate Army formed a private social club in Pulaski, TN, called the Ku Klux Klan. 1906, Reginald A.
