Another Tooth bites the dust

So how many is this? Gesh! It's like they are just falling right out of his mouth. Tonight he lost a molar. I think this made tooth #100 or something...LOL ;) Saira was jealous though. She came to me and said, "mommy, do I have a tooth that's loose?". I said, "No baby, you don't have any ready to come out yet." And she said, "Ahhhh man!!! I wanted some more money!!!". OMG, that totally cracked me up!!! They are killing me with these teeth. ;)

I have sinkhole update requests... ;)

The Daisetta Sinkhole is still there...LOL haha ;) No really, it hasn't changed thankfully, inspite of the rain we've had. It's still being watched carefully. All the media moved on and left us. No more hype for us. ;) Once a day I hear a local pilot flying over in his little private plane. But I think he might be apart of the survey crew. The top story now days.... We have an alligator or two that have made a home with the hole. I had a friend who was shocked to hear that we have so many gators around here. But we do. Daisetta is slap dab in the middle of the marsh/swamp lands here. You have to remember, we are really darn close to Lousiana. Last year, I think it was, there was a gator just a few feet away from the Elementary school that wanted to make home from a colvert. Crazy thing!! I think one of the local Constables had to shoot him. It was HUGE too. So yeah, we have gators and they are moving into the hole. The articles that I've read about the gator in the hole, are saying that the oil can irriate the skin on the gator, but it's staying away from the oil.

I never posted this on my blog. But I emailed it. Shows just how close I am to the hole. ...just several hundread yards.

More of me on the Media

This morning the producer of Neal Cavuto with the Fox News Channel called to see if I'd do a phone interview LIVE with Neal during his show to talk about the sink hole, because my name was all over the place due to the article from the AP. Yeah, google Jayme Downs and see what you come up with...LOL WOW!! But anyways, that was interesting. His show was at 3pm central time. And I aired around 3:20.



I may not be a famous scrapbooker, but I am through the news media...LOL!! j/k ;)

Me on our Local News

Today I went on an adventure. I wanted to go to the corner where all the news crew were located, so I could snap the camera a few times so I could scrap this moment in my towns History. So my neighbor and I ventured out, snapped our cameras and then we noticed a man headed our way. He asked if we didn't mind being interviewed and I said sure, lets do it. :) He told us who he was, which I knew that already...LOL Duh, who doesn't know their local news people ya know? LOL I told him I had emailed his news channel earlier this morning and he said, "You are just the lady I've been looking for!!". Wow, geeeee, me??!??! How cool! He asks a few questions and then his camera man came. Oh good God! I couldn't done without the camera...LOL But ok, I'm game. We do the interview, which was much more than what they actually put on the air. He says thank you, blah blah blah, and then we brush off all the ants that got all over my feet and legs during the interview...LOL That was rather funny. He goes on his marry way and then the camera man asks to get some footage of me and Saira looking towards the Sink Hole. She thought that was soooooooooooooooo cool!! You'll see her with me at the very first when they say my name and all that jazz. So then he goes on his marry way as well. Then ANOTHER man comes over. He was a reporter with the Associated Press. He asked if he could ask me a few questions. Did that, then we sat and watched for a few minutes to get a couple of more snap shots. Anyways, here are the links to view. :) Please don't laugh tooooo hard at my retarded self. I was soooo embarrassed later on after I left the scene. LOL

Houston News has been doing video footage all morning and afternoon. It's about 100 ft deep now and about 250 ft across....and growing. If you are to look at the video footage, you have to know that the ground there was completely flat. You see rings around the ground.

...Yeah, I'm scared.
