Builder’s Daughter Slaps Salman Khan!

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:07 pm

A dead-drunk, rich builder’s daughter Monika barged into Salman Khan’s private party in Delhi  and slapped him in front of everybody. This after she had abused Sushmita Sen and Sohail Khan, reports Mumbai Mirror.

The shocking incident took place during a recent private party held in Delhi after a fashion show, where a rich builder’s high spirited daughter Monika allegedly barged into Salman’s private party and slapped him.

According to sources, she also ended up abusing S u s h m i t a Sen, Sohail Khan and other guests who were present at the party. Ignoring the hullaballoo, the actor kept his cool and asked the security guards to show a sozzled Monika the way out.

According to Mumbai Mirror, an eyewitness at the party says, “After the fashion show by Sanjana Jon, a private party was being held at a five-star hotel in Delhi. Present there were Salman, Sohail Khan, Sushmita Sen, her brother Rajiv Sen, Raima and Riya Sen, Amaan and Ayaan Ali Khan, Shibani Kashyap, boxing champ Vijender Singh, a few Bollywood biggies and prominent politicos. The party, which went on till the wee hours of morning, was not without its fair share of drama. A sloshed Monika accompanied by a male friend first tried to forcefully enter the party venue. She was too loud and completely out of control because of her inebriated state. Sohail Khan, who was standing close to the entrance, saw the hungama and asked the security guards not to let Monika in.”

“Meanwhile, Salman heard the commotion and walked to where Monika was making a fuss. She was misbehaving and started bragging about her connections and abused Sushmita Sen. When Salman very politely asked the girl to leave, she suddenly slapped the actor,” adds the source.

A crowd gathered and the guards whisked away the girl. “Known for his infamous temper, surprisingly, Salman did not retaliate even once. He kept his cool and went inside with Sohail after the girl was taken away,” says the source. Despite repeated attempts at trying to talk to Monika’s friend, he said he was busy with somebody’s marriage and would be free to talk only after 15 days.

What’s the best way to dry breastmilk up?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:07 pm

Look, here’s the thing. I went out over the weekend and drank too much and ended up hitting a joint a couple of times. Now, I don’t want to nurse my daughter whose five months because I know the THC transfers over. I was starting to slow up as is but now it looks like I screwed up and there’s no other choice but to stop.

And Look, don’t give me some friggin lecture about how i’m a bad mother or how stupid I was for smoking weed. You’re preachin to the choir. Just let me know how to do it.

Can the father of my 6mo daughter win full custody if he has proof I drove DUI with my baby in the car?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:00 pm

All throughout my pregnancy my ex-fiance was abusive towards me and he also smoked crack on a weekly to daily basis and he had no job except for cash jobs here and there. I was afraid to notify authorities of the drug use and the physical abuse situation at the time because I didn’t want to send him to jail when I was pregnant because I was scared of being a single mom. I did not use drugs at all while I was pregnant, and I had a full time job and went to school part time while he did not work and would smoke crack. I have documentation that the police were called to a domestic situation (he was violently beating me) when I was 3 months pregnant, but at the time I did not press charges because I was scared of being a single mom, so the report is limited and does not include the extent of my injuries (I suffered a concussion and I can still feel the spot on my head where he bashed it into the floor a year later). I was very hard on him verbally because of his drug addiction and as a result he began cheating on me while I was 8 months pregnant. I did not know this at the time and all that I knew was that he was not coming home and I was 8 months pregnant and I needed him to be there. One night when he had called me and told me he was not coming home for the night I told him that I was taking a sleeping pill because I couldn’t handle the stress he was putting me through, and then I was going to bed. He then called the cops to my house that night and the cops told me they had to take me for a psychiatric evaluation because he had told them I was suicidal. I voluntarily went for the evaluation and after talking with a therapist they could very easily see that I was fine and they sent me home within a few hours. I am certain he has obtained the police report for that night and will use this against me in court to say that I have mental problems. A few weeks later we broke up and he went to live with the girl he was seeing, who lived down the street. This was obviously very upsetting to me as by this point I was 9 months pregnant. It is a well documented fact that stressors like this during a pregnancy is a very strong indicator of risk for postpartum depression, so I began seeing a therapist right away to work through my feelings about the situation. I also began reaching out to my friends and I have always kept a journal to gather my thoughts and I relied on these resources to get through the difficult time. I was told that I could take anti-depressant pills however I declined the pills as I also chose to breast feed, and I felt that I am mentally strong enough to tackle my emotions on my own. When I gave birth to our daughter he made the entire time increasingly stressful and only visited the hospital a total of three hours, and refused to help pick out a name for our child. He also brought police to my house the day I brought my daughter home from the hospital, asking the police to escort him while he got his belongings from the house. When I told the police I had just brought my newborn daughter home that day and that it was not a good time, they agreed to postpone the escort for a couple days. He also was violent with me showing up at my house a week later to retrieve additional items and this resulted in an order of protection that was active for 2 months until I had it removed to enable him the ability to see his daughter. Although it was stressful for me to see him and this affected my milk supply, I was also frustrated that he was not making any efforts to see his daughter and so this was a double edged sword that stressed me out both ways. I thought that by lifting the order of protection he would not have an excuse any more to not see his daughter. I was wrong and he refused to see her. I stopped seeing the therapist due to a lack of time when I returned to school part time and work full time because I was confident keeping busy would help me to heal and that I was able to handle the situation on my own with the support of my family, friends, and my own intelligence. But unfortunately one night, when my daughter was 3 months old I was drinking after my daughter had gone to bed and I made a very bad decision. I wanted so badly to tell him what an awful piece of shit he was that I put my daughter in the car and drove a quarter mile down the street to his new house to confront him. This was a bad decision and he called the police and the police report will show that they gave me a breathalyzer and I registered just under the legal limit for a DUI. The police did not arrest me and they simply sent me back home, but I am sure he has obtained a copy of the police report and he has now filed paperwork to sue me for full custody of my daughter. I do not normally drink and that was a single night of error and I give my daughter everything I have. She loves going to daycare and I visit her on my lunch break every day and I have a good job and my family and friends help me out with her a lot so that I have a bala
I have a balanced life of work, family, and me time. I do not want or need him in my life, and although I think that at some point he should be a part in her life, I dont think that now is that time because she is just six months old. He has never changed her diaper, he fights not to pay child support and i am afraid he is still violent in his new relationship. He says he doesn’t smoke crack anymore but I do not believe him. I am convinced that he has done everything he can to manipulate me into looking like the bad guy when he was the one who couldn’t get his act straight for so long! I wish I would have called the cops on him while he was smoking crack in my house or beating me so I would have the kind of proof he has on me that makes me look bad. I know in my heart he is the real bad guy, but i know the courts will only look at proof, not what I know in my heart. My question is, will they take my baby away from me because of his evidence?

I’ve gone back to work and my daughter is drinking more than I’m pumping…help?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 8:33 pm

I’m a teacher and I recently went back to work. I have three times a day I can pump (at my two recesses and my lunch break.) Problem is, I’m getting only 8 oz or so all day and my daughter is drinking 10-14 oz during the day. I really can’t pump anymore during school. I’m already pumping after feedings with her to try to increase production, but I’ve been doing that for 3 weeks now and it doesn’t appear to help. I even got a hospital grade pump and that’s not keeping up with her. She’s also just started on rice cereal (she’s 5 months old) but that didn’t appear to lower her intake of milk. I’d love some suggestions. Thank you :)
I’m not really wanting to give her formula. I’ve gone through 5 bouts of mastitis and if I didn’t give up breastfeeding then, I’m not going to do it now just because I’m a working mom. If I just can’t find a way to produce more milk, I guess I’ll supplement some with formula, but it’s a last resort choice for me. My daughter has horrible reflux and breastmilk is more easily digested that formula which would cause more projectile vomiting cases.

What do you think of David Hasselhoff’s drunk video?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 8:33 pm

here’s the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYj6TceYio0

watch the video then read the comments.
some of the comments made me laugh harder than the video itself. especially this one:

Now I know why he needed “K.I.T.T.” the self driving -talking Pontiac Trans-Am on the show ” Night Rider”… so he could make it home after binge drinking.. LOL The only thing that would make this video funnier would be if the guy that did KITT’s voice would voice over Hasselhoff’s daughter’s voice and ask the questions about his drinking… with the theme of Night Rider very low in the background.

Why does carol p say story of an East Oakland illegal alien drunk driver that I’m not supposed to mention?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 8:33 pm

An Oakland man charged Monday with murdering two children in a Thanksgiving night hit-and-run crash told his 17-year-old nephew moments before impact that he didn’t care if he or the teenager died as a result of his speeding, a prosecutor said.
Carmelo Salas, 28, was charged with murder in the deaths of Stephanie Cervantez, 14, and her 4-year-old cousin, Jacklin Munguia-Herrera, for allegedly running a stop sign in East Oakland and crashing his Ford Expedition sport utility vehicle into a Ford Mustang carrying the victims about 7:20 p.m. Thursday.Salas fled after the crash at 89th Avenue and D Street but was arrested early the next morning, police said.He was charged with murder under the theory of implied malice, which is defined as engaging in an unlawful act done in “conscious disregard” of the risk to human life, prosecutor Norbert Chu said. Salas told his nephew, who was in the SUV with him, that he wasn’t afraid to die and that he would take his nephew with him, Chu said. Salas was going as fast as 80 mph in a 25-mph zone, and the nephew warned him seconds before impact that the Mustang was approaching, the prosecutor said.Salas was also charged with two counts of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury for hurting Jacklin’s mother, Laura Herrera, 23, who was driving the Mustang, and Herrera’s daughter, Evalyn Munguia, 3. Both Herrera and Munguia remain hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said.

Salas was also charged with kidnapping his nephew to ride with him in the SUV, Chu said. The nephew feared for his safety because he knew Salas could be “volatile” when he was drinking, Chu said. Police said the nephew helped identify the suspect.

Police believe Salas was driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. But prosecutors didn’t charge him with DUI because several hours elapsed before he was arrested, making it impossible to measure his blood-alcohol level when the accident happened.

Salas is also the subject of a hold by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement because he is in the United States illegally from Mexico, authorities said.

Peer Pressure & Your Teenage Daughter

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 8:27 pm

If His Eyes Look like Two Cherries in a Glass of Buttermilk, He Might be a Weedhead

Mom, the potheads that parked at the top of the parking lot when we were in high school are not parking there today. The potheads of today may be parking their cars closer to you than you think.

“The Secrets to Having the Teenage Daughter you Actually Like” with Dr. Cheryl Guy

You may want to look in your own garage. That’s a hard pill to swallow, but it is true. Avoiding the “bad crowd” was much easier when we knew who they were by their looks and reputation. Today, it is not so easy to identify who the drug users are.

Teenagers and peer pressure is much more difficult to steer clear of when they are cheering next to one on the cheerleading squad and dance line. Girls are trading sex for drugs underneath their parent’s noses and they look just like your own daughter. How did we ever get here?

Teenagers need to be taught from a very early age to stand firm in their beliefs and be prepared to stand alone at times. During a group counseling session with three girls, I listened as they expressed great distress over feeling as if they were viewed as outcasts at their school. They had chosen to stick together and resist the peer pressures of alcohol, drugs, and sex. These were three very beautiful girls who were questioning their decision to resist these pressures and temptations because of their lack of a “normal” social life. I tend to talk very straight and direct so I didn’t mince words as I described what society sees as “normal and socially acceptable”. At the end of my description I advised them that the day they openly decided to bypass the act of sex and partying, was the day many guys wrote them off of their black book list. Partying and engaging in pre-marital sex seems to be the direction many unsuspecting teenage girls and boys have chosen. I oftentimes advise my own daughters that all guys have a penis, and the majority of them desire to use their penises as many times as they can as they advance through high school. Mothers of sons, hold on before you heat up the keys sending me emails. I too have a son who happens to be twelve years old. I expect him to have the same feelings other teenage guys have. He will certainly have a desire to use his penis as many times as he can while in high school, but he must be in a constant state of self-control if he wishes to fight the urges that naturally come with raging hormones.

Today’s times requires blunt force discussions about the dangers of teenage drinking, teenage drug abuse, and teenage sex. Allowing yourself to be in situations where your guard is impaired and let down offers up the gamut of possible problems. As a mother and counselor, I will never say “It would never happen to one of my daughters.” It could just as easily happen to mine as yours. I am not naive enough to think that I have perfect children. I actually think I have very normal children who can be as easily influenced as the next. There is never a day that goes by where I am not using something that I learn to equip my family with more protection. That is what all mothers can do. Protect your family by gaining information and teaming up with each member as you fight for their safety. Peer pressure is hard to resist because the media makes it look so pretty. Teenage sex is not pretty though. Sexually transmitted diseases are not pretty. Unwanted pregnancies are not pretty either. Each situation can put much stress on a family.

I have counseled many teens as they are involved in sexual relationships, but one really stuck out. There was a particular fourteen year old girl who was engaging in a sexual relationship with her boyfriend. I told her that the act of sex can have several negative unintended outcomes; outcomes that a fourteen year old would have absolutely no comprehension of. I advised her of the emotional impact the sexual relationship could have on her at such a young age. As a maturing teenager, she was losing her own identity and becoming entwined with her boyfriend. This was taking her parent’s role of protecting her out of their hands. She was allowing her boyfriend to have a connection and bond with her that emotionally there was no way she could be ready for. Her emotional growth and maturity was being stunted and delayed as long as she continued to have this sexual relationship. My concern for her was not necessarily the physical act that was wrong, but the emotional and psychological impact that was going on and she was totally oblivious to its effects on her. Far too often we get so caught up as parents in the discussion of the act of sex being wrong until marriage and we forget to go further with the deeper scars that can form as a result as well.

The peer pressures teens face are still the same today as they were in our day, it is simply so much easier to get caught into the web the spiders spin today as they catch their prey. We now have cell phones, the internet, reality  T.V., The Hills episodes, ipods, and much more to serve as constant reminders of the “fun and excitement” that is right at their fingertips.

Teach your daughter to be stronger than the peer pressures that they will certainly face every day of their life.
