Training at the NTC Seriously Savage – H*Wood Style

Training at the NTC Seriously Savage – H*Wood Style

I recently had the pleasure of joining the Blackhorse Squadron and a few other movers and shakers from #TeamLucas for know your Army at NTC for some great training and insight at an undisclosed location.

We arrived by Black Hawks after a jaunt from an undisclosed airport.  If you know me you can imagine that this is right up my alley when it comes to covert ops.  I can tell those who have never been on a helicopter – that the ride on the Black Hawk was invigorating, loud, nauseating and turbulent!  Those choppers are  not made for comfort but there is wifi but definitely not the same as a corporate chopper.

The pilots did a great job getting us there safely considering the wind was blowing at knots higher than expected for a comfortable ride.  Once at the training facility we got acquainted with our officers and our squadron, we had MRE lunches and shot it up Hollywood style with some of the bravest men and women who are giving their service for America.

Wow what a time it was –  We were savage in our endeavors and took it to another level with training.  Huah!  Thank you #USArmy for your Service to America and thank the #DOD and #TeamLucas for an experience of a lifetime.

Weird People Do Weird Things Like Merritt Morrison Turner Patterson of Dallas, Texas – The Insanely Shallow Blogger- Its Proven!

Interesting information about a local woman who harasses people, stalks their children and writes insanely shallow stories about them. Merritt Patterson, best buddies with the 2 times bankrupt, evicted former cast member on Big Rich Texas Bonnie Blossman Myer the 6 time parolee Carl Allen Henegan of Houston and Fake News no where blogger Ife Blount of Wisconsin.
We have found a very interesting overview for Merritt C. Patterson that should be shared since that is what she would want you to do. Patterson would do the same thing and has shared stories of this same nature many times. Merritt Patterson of Dallas is a self proclaimed blogger who abuses her contractual privileges at various online sites that have allowed her to write insanely shallow stories about innocent local people while jeopardizing the publication who would/should also be held liable for Patterson’s malice. She is wife of Michael C. Patterson a mother of 2 and has 2 step children. Michael is employed by the almost defunct TXU in Dallas and had a small home on Lovers Lane. They move a lot due to Merritt’s bad breath.

You can look up her home at 4512 Normandy Ave in Dallas AND if you drive over to the condo you will see it is nestled in between a few ugly houses close to a wall that blocks the street from the noisy Tollway. (nice) Poor Michael’s wife Merritt is a convicted fraud. See Dallas public records from 2009 to 2011 where she was sued for more than $80,000. Wow Merritt was this a mid life crisis? It dammed sure wasn’t a teenage prank thats for sure.Looking back at this insanely shallow woman, we can see that a few years ago Merritt got pregnant with hopes to move out of her apartment into a home in lovely East Plano Texas. A home with a garage next to the FRONT DOOR! Just the type of home Merri Pat likes to knock people out for which is Appalling. (see her addresses on the document below as she has lived (rented) 3 addresses in East Plano) Merritt is on record bashing Plano Texas over the years and ridiculing many of the residents, their children,the schools and pretty much anything about Plano Texas. Hypocrite much?

The record below also shows that old Merri has lived in quite a few apartments. I say this because she also bashes people who have lived in apartments and in Plano. Merritt C. Morrison Turner Patterson is not from Dallas she is from Oklahoma not that there is anything wrong with that. Patterson has changed her phone number many times as she has changed her name. Not surprising for a person like her. I personally have had the same number for 15 years but I’m guessing her fraudulent behavior and malicious acts have people between Oklahoma and her Park Cities Bubble looking for her insanely shallow ass.Old Merritt likes to call the Kettle BLACK doesn’t she. Isn’t that SPECIAL?1. Multiple Names Used By Merritt Patterson

2. Merritt Patterson has lived in multiple homes (3) over in the lovely Plano Texas and spent the majority of her life as an apartment dweller. She was able to move into the small house on Lovers Lane after she (scammed) got pregnant by Michael and was much thinner. I am told she is back in a (gasp!) condo today.

3. Merritt Patterson has a criminal background in Dallas County (DCRecords Division 2009 – 2011) for Fraud where she had to pay somewhere around $80,000 in restitution.

4. Merritt C. Patterson is a divorcee

5. Merritt C. Patterson is basically a liar and a bully.

The LA Auto Show Was A Treat for Pamela Martin Chairwoman of the Luxury Marketing Council of Texas – Loves The Idea of Electric Super Cars

The spectacle was just that “a spectacle” at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles where Pamela took a few family members along to see what the hype was all about. A very special bonus was seeing a certain +La+Clippers player

We began with the “Concept” division which was THE most outstanding display of machine and good looks put into a motor vehicle – we couldn’t get enough AND loved pretty much everything we saw.

The list of fabulousness goes on forever and Ive got photos to prove it.  Take a look at some of these new concepts we were blown away by:
