Natalee Case Discussion #709 12/30 - 1/3/08

[mrs. red]

What a clever idea having the main personnel here do Happy New Year for the front page.  And no southern accents among them, not even Mrs. Red.   

It's because at that point I hadn't talked to my family.... after I hang up I always pick my accent back up!!!

I love, love, love San's accent ... gotta tell y'all! 

San definitely has a New Yawk accent, and I loved hearing her.  San is just special at any rate. 

Don't know why but I have never lost my North Carolina accent regardless of where I lived and how long, but I never lived in North Carolina.  Everyone who knows me, however, guesses I am from North Carolina and always have.  Oh, Lord, does that mean I sound like John Edwards!?!  Grrrr.  I hope not.  I think he has a pretentious South Alabama accent like the ones they do in the movies of Southerners, that are so poorly done and sound nothing like Southerners.

Oh those movies make me want to barf....   John Edwards sounds like someone trying to imitate a southerner....

Anyone that knows all about the underwear of her teenaged sons' conquest has problems!

so very true....

Robots, why was it funny to hear us?      I almost forgot to tell y'all who I was

it was funny because all day long all we do is type
and then when you hear the voices.... its interesting and funny because i said it is...

Natalee is somewhere waiting
in a place that's cold and dark.
And when she hears the Persistence
her soul will feel a spark!

Her body is somewhere waiting
but her soul is in another place.
She knows she's not forgotten.
Quietly she waits, with an angel's grace.

She heard her parents talking
about plans to bring her home.
She's waited such a long time,
counting days pass one by one.

But now she knows she's going home.
She'll be on home ground again.
There are wonderful people who are bringing a ship
she tells her Angel friends.

There are people coming to search for me,
they are already looking every day.
A sturdy ship, a caring crew.
God please let them find me, I pray!

Her face will glow with happiness,
and the Angels will sing their song.
She raises her voice to Him in prayer.
Thank you Lord...it's been so long!

She's ready and waiting, she'll know when they're near.
She'll know when they stop above her.
The Angels will sing and the Heavens will shine.
She's going home to her families who love her!

For the Persistence and crew, a New Year's boost of encouragement for your selfless efforts and dedication. God is with you all.
Wishing each of you a very Happy New Year, and many blessings.

Beautiful Gabby.

I wonder if Mos did in fact release the suspects as this is his self-imposed deadline, isn't it?

Has anyone heard anything about that today?  And if so, does it really mean anything as nothing is happening in that regard anyway.

.

Insider info: Mos is hiding under his bed.

Wishing you a most Happy New Year Dayhiker.

[mrs. red]

I love Bernadette Peters!   Glad you posted that ...


Robots... maybe we will do a call in for other monkeys to give their thoughts... I would love to hear some of you guys!

I am going to musings and start a poll/question of sorts... y'all stop by and answer, K??

"Come, wander with me she said into regions yet untrod. Read with me what is still unread in the manuscript of God." - Longfellow
The words return to me as they did in Louisiana almost a month ago. The assembling swaths of sonar data reveal the seabed to us as if it were a scroll from a mighty manuscript written by a mighty hand. The numerous ROV dives are the Rosetta Stone for reading the great manuscript.

The seabed tells a different tale at every scale of observation. The submarine terrain appears tired, bent, and worn- a stark yet welcomed contrast to our jagged expectations. The seabed is deeply pitted, torn, and scarred. It cryptically cries out in past neglect, ruin, and abandon. Sparkling coral and happy creatures thrive in the shallows blissfully unaware of the decay of their heritage laying just out beyond the reef. The water deepens and color fades to grey where predators roam. Deeper still, the seabed appears lifeless and void. As the ROV touches down onto the deep seafloor, a benthic nephloid cloud erupts, engulfing the remote intruder. As the silt settles in the darkness, polycheate worms withdraw into their delicate burrows. Now under immense pressure, the ROV is in total solitude, stillness, and cold. There is no margin for failure in the ocean. The seafloor speaks of past failure, where grim reminders of the lost and broken abound. It is a relief to be back on board the Persistence in relative safety.

The Persistence is amid uncovering the final planned quadrant of the search area. Once completed and ROV ground-truthed, we will assemble the data and read from the last scroll in this mighty manuscript.

Heh Kat - I'm another year older and getting some slower flies would be nice!

Heh Heh!

A RIBBIT NEW YEAR TO YOU MS. JANET!

[GabbyG]

Thank ya'll for all of your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I just thought that with it being the new year and all, it would be ok to be positive in the poem, we surely dont need any negatives.
Even if the Persistence crew doesn't find Natalee it's still all good because they have given from the heart to help a family who needed them, and their dedication and sacrifices will never be forgotten. Either way it goes...
But we can hope....
