What the article doesn't mention ~~ from me

The Biscayne Park Police Captain has a very shady and crooked past. He is reportedly beyond pissed off at the allegations of conspiracy with Father Cutie and his wife. Needless to say, we are living life on the edge, as we are told he is quite dangerous.

The gist of Robin's case ~~ from NBC

The ex-boyfriend of Father Alberto Cutié's new wife, who has accused the randy reverend and the Biscayne Park Police Department of conspiring to have him arrested, paid a visit to the State Attorney's office yesterday to begin a criminal investigation into the priest.

Maxi Ratunuman has already filed a civil lawsuit against Cutié, the Biscayne Park PD and Ruhama Canellis, who he claims is his former fiance who dumped him for the controversal priest. The civil suit claims Cutié and Canellis conspired to have him arrested so he could be deported.

Ratunuman says he and Canellis were dating and had planned to get married until Cutié got in the way, and that now the priest wants him out of the picture and deported out of the country.

Ratunuman has claimed false arrest, malicious prosecution and civil theft. The 44-year-old Indonesian resident is currently in jail on trespassing and traffic violation charges.

"The civil case and the criminal case are two very different things. We haven't even really begun discovery on the civil case yet," Ratunuman's lawyer, Robin Hellman, said last night. "They're really dealing with the criminal case now because we're trying to get my client out of jail at this point."

Ratunuman's allegations were serious enough to get him an audience with the State Attorney's Office yesterday.

"Coincidentally, he was coming to court on some of the issues involving his criminal case and so we took the opportunity to take a statement from him here because he is an incarcerated defendant," Katherine Fernandez Rundle, with the State's Attorney Office, said.

Rundle said that her office is following the leads in the case to determine what, if any, involvement Cutié may have had in Ratunuman's arrest, but stressed that they're still in an early phase of any possible case.

"We're really at an investigative stage at this point. What if any involvement he may have had is still an open question," Rundle said.

Cutié was relieved of his duties as pastor of St. Francis de Sales church in Miami Beach in April after photos of he and Canellis getting romantic on a beach were published in a magazine. In June, Cutié announced he would be leaving the Catholic Church and joining the Episcopal faith. He married Canellis in a civil ceremony on June 16.


Hellman said she hopes there will be a resolution to Ratunuman's claims.

"It's really up to the state attorney's office at this point. Obviously my client is a victim," Hellman said.

Charge!


I ran an errand this afternoon and when I got home, Robin was outside talking to our adorable nextdoor neighbors, Eric and Alex (female). We totally lucked out when they moved in and Robin has a little secret crush on Eric. I got out of the car and joined them. All of a sudden, Eric yelled, "All your dogs are outside!!". He jokes around a lot so we totally ignored him. Within seconds, Buddy, Baxter, Bodi and Brady were running around like wild Indians. These dogs do not come on command, so we literally had to catch them and carry them inside (50+ pounds each). Then, rather than yell at the dogs, of course I had to yell at Robin, "Why'd you leave the door open?"

Bodi is a very smart dog and I have seen her paw at the door and open it, but I'm sure that wasn't the case this time. Every time I say something to Robin about Bodi being so smart, I get an "Uh huh".

So when I yelled at Robin about leaving the door open...you got it, "Bodi did it".

Dog or horse?



Brady has practically quadrupled in size. The dog bed is the same in both pictures, just turned inside out. He refuses to part with it. It's like his blankie.

What Have We Done???


Robin is all over the local and Latino news. If you want to check it out, go to www.nbcmiami.com, go to the "local" section and click on the story regarding Father Cutie. This is just the beginning. There's gonna be a press conference later.

Gonna be a long night....


I wish you were here with me right now. The music coming from my backyard neighbor's house is defeaning. They are French. My other neighbors are Cuban and the other ones are rednecks. Everyone is very nice. But these French people have the wildest parties imaginable. They typically last until 9:00 in the morning. I have gotten a up a 6:00 to find the party still going strong. There are people on stilts, a dragon lady, you name it. I assume there are a lot of drugs involved. There'd have to be to go at it all night like that.

We were are a dinner party recetly and met a couple of male hair stylists. They know the French people and told us that THEY'RE SWINGERS!!!!

This is the first party they're having since we learned what, exactly, kind of parties they have.

Camera, don't fail me tonight! Gotta go charge extra batteries.

I'm kidding...or am I???

You know it's hot when...


You're sweating while in the pool. That's why I invented "The Mr. Mister". I hooked up the misting hose attachment and propped it up on the side of the pool, and voila!!

No, that's not me with Miley Cyrus, thank you.


I can't stand Miley Cyrus, but I am ashamed to admit that I love her new song, "The Climb". The first time I heard, I fell in love with it. Then I found out it was Miley Cyrus singing it and I tried to hate it. I couldn't. Just like the other day when I was channel surfing and stumbled upon Rachel Ray's show. I thought, "OK, you haven't seen her in months. Let's watch for two minutes, objectively and with an open mind". Watching, watching. Nope still hate her.

I'd rather...


stick a needle in my eye than go to a neighborhood party where someone is going to show their vacation to Turkey slides for three hours.

Have fun, Mom & Nelson!!!

Good Morning!


These little rascals almost gave me a heart attack this morning. I thought there was a dead something in my pool when I first got up. It was dark and as I approached, it swam off like a bat outta hell.

Two more pets.

Brady could be Bailey reincarnated, right?



I mean...Bailey was a girl and brown and Brady is a yellow boy, but still. And it's funny because Bodi tortured Bailey when she was a puppy and now Brady is torturing Bodi.
