Wanted For Attempted Murder (the actual AP headline)
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket
to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car.
He noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she’d been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.
And, yes, Linda is a blonde.

TIME seems to be the one thing we long for, but never seem to have enough of. And when we get a few minutes we are usually too tired to enjoy it.
Julia Ward Howe said, “I am weary way down into next year”. That is descriptive of the way many of us feel—especially at the Thanksgiving and Christmas. We become so exhausted that we miss the real meaning of the occasion.
Our lives become so busy, we get worn out and have no time for friends, family or God. A lady once told me,” I ‘am so busy serving God, that I don’t have time for God”. What a shame, because God is the only person that can give us true rest and peace in the mist of our hectic lives.©
Thank you for sharing your time with me and stopping by, Hugs to each of you!
Enjoy this special time, making memories with the ones you love!
Lovingly, Karan
Discussion Question: How do you save time during the busy season’s, what tricks have you learned?
Funny. This reminded me of the time that I was hauling horses from California to Colorado with snacks for the trip in the backseat. When we reached the top of Donner Pass in the Sierra, a bag of chips exploded due to the air pressure that had built up in the bag. I thought I blew a tire and immediately pulled over to the side of the freeway and ran around the rig in a panic looking for a flat tire. Nope…I’m not even blonde.
Thank you Cheryl for sharing this one, I have a very vivid imagination and can picture this event. Hilarious! Hugs
