Lively Case Discussion #557 12/9 - 12/10/2006

BT-do you keep the stoppers in the tubs and sinks?  I spray my baseboards with bug spray that is for spiders, since scorpions are arachnids and that is what will kill them.  I use a hand held black light to illuminate and hunt scorpions down.  In summer, wet a piece of burlap and lay it out at night to make a trap.  The scorpions will go to it (they seek moisture).  Using black light, shine it on the burlap and use the bug spray to kill them.  That will get rid of some of the numbers.  Etc.  Also, chickens, guinea hens, ducks like to eat them.

Thanks, Muffy! I need all the help I can get!

Bt, you know that spray that you use in your house when you have pets that will get fleas from you when you go outside and bring them in on your clothes --- that spray kills spiders, etc., for me.  After we spray for about a week, we have dead spiders everywhere.  You have to get the correct one at the vet.  The others do not work.  It really works.  Also if you have your house sprayed for (Oh, Lord, I hate to say it) roaches and other insects like that, it causes more spiders and scorpions in your house because (especially brown recluse) feed on dead things and the poison does not affect them in anyway, so that spray from your termite and insect man WILL NOT kill the spiders and scorpions, only the spray for fleas and ticks will kill them.  If you do not use it with a dog, you probably should. It lasts for six months.

As an aside, I wanted to say one more thing regarding Jossy. When Easy shares Jossy's e-mails with me, I always make a point to ask Easy if they're okay to share. Sometimes he says yes and sometimes no. If Jossy has told Easy not to make something public, Easy is careful to pass that on to me. I just didn't want anyone to think things are being posted that Jossy would rather keep private.

  Gotcha!

Land's End...great place to shop.  I am buying my daughter a pair of their boots this year.  She needs something to keep her feet warm while walking across the campus.  She found them in the book and put a big red circle on them so I wouldn't miss it.

Thanks, Tyler! I've been dreading springtime and the return of the insects here.

Yep...L.L.Bean is great too.

I guess I am getting there with Christmas.  I bought a tree and some ornaments yesterday.  Have yet to buy any gifts.

I have been doing all of my shopping online, but cannot find a coat that I am sure will be warm enough for the Illinois weather, found one for hubby and son, but not for me. I want on that will cover my butt!!!!!!

Try Land's End.  They're online and they tell you how warm the coat is by the temperature.  Like "this will keep you warm up to 20 below."  Good quality.

Funny how all of us living in cold areas... immediately said Land's End!

LOL.  When #3 son was at Tulane, he had to do a lot of winter studies in cold places ,faraway from New Orleans.   We bought all his clothes from Lands End when he had to go to New York, Boston, London, Paris, etc.  They served him very well.

[mrs. red]

Ms Vada is right... LL Bean is awesome too... I just love Land's End though!

[Tylergal]

I have lawn chairs sitting in front of fireplace in living room-haven't bought furniture for that room yet LOL  I guess it makes an interesting combination with the Christmas tree over in the corner.  Sorta outdoorsy...

You could play a disc of some outdoor sounds.

I was considering putting up a screened tent in the dining room this summer due to red wasp infestation-they kept coming in house through all kinds of places And then there were the scorpions...I have 22 windows in living room, so we have plenty of outside inside.  Have deer, roadrunners, foxes, many deer, squirrels.

Heavens, 22 windows!  There goes all the view I ever wanted and all the plantation shutters I could never afford with that many windows.     Oh, I only wish. . . . . . .

Evening Monkeys,how is everyone tonight? I couldn't get into the cage for awhile......glad to be back.

Found this question asked by Anna, and am curious myself about current suspects. Also found a news article that seemsto be stating that Steve Croes was brought in and jailed due to statements made by one of the other suspects  and not because of something he overheard and felt he should go in and tell ALE about.

With the release of Mickey Johns, we are down to eight suspects.  I am not certain exactly who a couple of them are.

1.  Joran
1.  Deepak
3.  Satish
4.  Steve Croes
5.  Abraham Jones
6.  Guido Wever
7.
8.


Is Geoffrey von Cromfroit a suspect or a witness?  How about Freddie?  Koen who did not even give a statement to the police?

Who are the last two suspects, anybody??


.

Earlier Sunday, the attorney for Steve Croes -- a 26-year-old disc jockey arrested in the case June 17 -- said his client would be freed by Monday afternoon due to a lack of evidence against him.

Croes' mother collapsed from emotion outside the courtroom after the judge announced his release.

No formal charges have been filed in the case. Prosecutors said Croes and the three younger suspects were held in connection with possible charges of first- or second-degree murder and kidnapping resulting in death.

Attorneys for Croes, the Kalpoes and Van Der Sloot have said the men are innocent.

Asked whether Holloway's relatives felt the releases were a setback, the girl's father, Dave Holloway, said his focus remains on finding his daughter, not on the investigation.

"I still feel like he ... has some answers," he said of Paul Van Der Sloot. "But if we find Natalee, that will resolve the whole thing."

Croes was arrested after one of the three youths named him, Police Commissioner Jan Van Der Straten said at the time.

The party boat where Croes works docks about 1,000 feet from the Holiday Inn where Holloway was staying.

The judge presiding in Sunday's hearings was flown in from the nearby island of Curacao to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

He heard the case against each suspect separately in a proceeding lasting more than four hours.

From Jossy, per Easy

In my case it will be a phone interview. Fox has no satellite connections to their station from Aruba at this point. I knew about Dave and Beth, but not about Tito. I wonder what he would have to say. I know they will show the video tape. I am on at the start of the program for a short interview, then they will show the tape, and afterward will get back to me for questions.

I'm glad both Beth and Dave are on the show. So is De Vries, with whom they had another interesting interview.

Thanks BT and Easy! So excited to hear that they are showing the tape tonight!!!!!!

Also glad to see that Kimberly G is scooping Greta

It appears that Greta has gotten her moneysworth out of the case.

I would love to if I can find my cameras.  DH will not let me buy another one.  He says they are here someplace.  We just went through a home remodel and upgrade, and I have misplaced the cameras and a few other items.  I am sure I will find them.  I MUST have them for Christmas for pictures of these sweet grandsons.
