Did she just get her license? Because if I had her name, causing a few cows to fly would be the #1 thing on my list. Parents might be second. ---

Her family name is Cowit, and they named her Daisy? I blame all her troubles on her parents, Elsie and Ferdinand. ---

Humour of the situation aside, she should be charged with two counts of attempted murder (for the farmhands she almost mowed down). Hell, any time anyone gets caught texting and driving, they should be charged with attempted murder - you’re not alone on the roads, assholes! ---

Hell, any time anyone gets caught texting and driving, they should be charged with attempted murder - you’re not alone on the roads, assholes! Agreed, also add the following penalties… Permanent loss of drivers license and driving privileges Destruction of her cell phone, permanent ban from smartphone ownership, indeed any cell capable of texting, limit her to an ancient, analog “brick” cell phone popular in the 1980’s, she doesn’t even rate an old Motorola StarTac flip phone, as the flip would distract her too much ---

At the bottom of the page is a link to the story **model Breastfeeds Calf** , about Brazilian model Sabrina Boing Boing’s bid for attention. > **[Model Breastfeeds Calf](https://cw39.com/cw39/online-dish-model-breastfeeds-calf/)** > > A Brazilian model is getting a lot of attention for her not so model behavior. Sabrina Boing Boing, a model, DL and former Pamela Anderson impersonator recently posted some questionable pics on ins… I honestly don’t know anymore if this is a real attention whore (there’s a link to her feeding an ostrich with fruit kept under her breast) or if the website is making this up to jerk us around. I suppose I could do an internet search, but it ain’t worth it. Sabrina Boing Boing? really? Just for kcks, I checkedthe Cowit story. That one’s on other sites, including some real news sites, so it seems to be a real story: [http://news.search.yahoo.com/search?p=Cowit+texting&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-900&fr2=newsdd](http://news.search.yahoo.com/search?p=Cowit+texting&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-900&fr2=newsdd) ---
