i used to know her. this isn't all that surprising. she's quite manipulative.

my god and to top it off she has a belching problem so severe her parents put it after her first name at birth. Sorry couldn't help myself..

It may seem harsh but this is just one of many reasons I hope I never end up in one of these places. They seem to hire the scum of the earth and every person I have talked to who lives in an assisted living facility hates and despises it with a passion.. they are miserable there, the houseplants are treated better than the residents (and 75% of the houseplants die). To those involved in such work who are not the scum of the earth I can only say you owe people like this young woman for the impressions most have. Hopefully she will not see freedom for at least 10-15 years. Give her a nice long time to think of how stupid and scummy her actions were. I bet her parents are so proud! Ah well...

Waitaminute... Corvallis Police... green and gold Oregon sweatshirt... sounds like a case of anti-Duck racial profiling to me!
