Title: Monkey Musing Daily Open Discussion #1 8/12 - 8/17/2007
Post by: klaasend on August 12, 2007, 10:20:17 AM
This thread will be like the old LCD thread.  We only request that if you have actual news, photos or pertenant facts on specific cases you post in the proper area.

Example:  If you have a news article or photo or specific information on the NH or other MP cases please post in either the NH thread or the MP thread.  If you have information on a court date in the NH case, please post in the NH thread, etc.

If you really just want to chat about silly stuff, please go to the chat room.

Other than that, discussion about all topics is welcome and this thread will act as our "meeting place and hang out".

 :lol:

It is great to see so many monkeys, missed all of you guys.  I am still quite conflatulated about what is going on, however.  For those of you who do not know that word, it means I am so confused, it is giving me gas.

REMINDER - if you have actual NEWS to report in the Natalee Holloway case we would like that posted in the Natalee Case Discussion thread:

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2023.0

Hashing out of ideas in the NH case or any other case can be done in this thread.

True chit chat should go to the CHAT ROOM.  I think the "chatters" have already decided they like it there, lol  :lol:

It should be fine!  It's no different than the LCD just has a different name and location.  That way we can keep the Natalee Holloway thread about Natalee and continue with our normal thread without being off topic in the Natalee Holloway forum.   :wink:

Like Mrs. Red, we have an old computer that Dugga confirmed will not work with chat, therefore, I truly hope that those who prefer chat stop in here often, because it's the only option I have right now...

That's the beauty of this thread, it can be about anything.  We only ask that SERIOUS chit chat move to the CHAT Room.

IMO. the "newness" of chat will wear off for lots of folks, in time. I think of "chat" as the ladies room ( sorry guys ) where gossip prevails. But while I'm glad it's there, I don't want to stay there throughout the party!  :lol: :lol:

2NJ - I think people will be spending some time at both places now. I like to read all the Natalee discussion that takes place and try to store up the facts in my head. However, I'm kind of a smarty pants and can't resist making silly comments to people when I post. I was afraid I was going to get into trouble for that after we made the last format change, so I've been keeping myself primarily in chat. If this thread is what we've been used to, and it's okay for me to be a smarty pants sometimes, then I know I will be spending more time here and less in chat.

Are you back from the supermarket, already?  :lol: 

I guess my not being able to go to chat, when I feel like it, is bothersome.  We just can't buy a new computer right now.  So, I'll be here when I can.

My neighbor decided to use his chainsaw today at 7am and cut off every living thing seperating our property :-| Everytime I thought he was done I would try to go back to sleep only for him to start up again..Now that I am awake and up he stopped  :smt075 :gaah:

We've had construction in our neighborhood for weeks....they start at 7am..hammering away, but not on weekends.  One week when it was really hot, they started around 6am...after several days, DH called police headquarters and that ended that. 

Hope he didn't cut anything on your property...

Well if he starts buring what he cut at 12:30 am call the cops like I did on my neighbor. :-x

He was so pissed that he started yelling towards the people in the back of my house because he thought they were the ones who called :lol:

Did I tell you I hate my neighbor.

No Yap.  The guy with the bus lives around the block.  He doesn't come that much anymore with his bus.

This neighbor who is buring stuff is actually family and I can't stand him, his mother and father.  Biggest losers you want to meet.

Question for anyone that used to post at the NataleeHolloway.net site before it went down.

Opus has posted old Billyright posts that are claimed to be from the NH.net site from July 30, 2005.  My problem with the Billyright posts are that I can find NOTHING except reference to these July posts.  It was posted last year on the front page of SM as well. 

My question is if anyone remembers Billyright?  Do you know of he was in Aruba?  What is to say Billyright isn't another Kelmal/Gretamal or just someone with an overactive imagination.

I don't know the answer to that ******* but that is an interesting line of thinking.

I was reading the Austrailia by Tib thread in the monkey lounge.  She has posted an article written by Wes Mannion, Steve Irwin's buddy.  Wow.  It's very touching.

For GrannyToad>>Bringing this over from last night...I am not caught up yet...It seems it has been stated several times that Guido got out of work that early morning at 3AM. I do not have links for that, but that is what I remember reading in several places. True or not...I do not know.

How did Guido get into this picture, charged as suspected as being accomplice to among other things heavy battery, "Grievous Bodily Harm". What time did Guido leave work that late night?
Anybody think that Guido was questioned in the first week of June 05 because of scratch/other witnesses, unrelated to Joran...initially?

My question is if anyone remembers Billyright?  Do you know of he was in Aruba?  What is to say Billyright isn't another Kelmal/Gretamal or just someone with an overactive imagination.

Well crapola......I was going to ASK YOU THAT! LOL!

Merv Griffin just died at 82 years.  He was a class act, I always thought.   :sad:

Merv Griffin Dies at the Age of 82, Rest in Peace

http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/2007/08/12/merv-griffin-dies-at-the-age-of-82-rest-in-peace/

Merv Griffin had been battling prostate cancer since 1996 and had been reported yesterday as being gravely ill.

It is being reported that Merv Griffin has passed away at the age of 82, rest in peace.

Talk show host, game show king and entertainment icon Merv Griffin has died of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his family. He was 82 years old. (CBS)

Merv was truly a class act ...

It just bothers me when old posts like this turn up with no actual proof, you know?  We don't know if Billyright was in Aruba or if he was another troll.

On the previous thread I was asking if Joran had any friends in Virginia because there was a major troll at that HGCTV blog using like 12 diffrent names. Makes me wonder where Val and the other brother were sent to in the states in early june 2005?

Val was in the states, but I don't remember if it was Virginia.  He was visiting his girlfriend at the time Natalie.  I don't think it was Virginia though.

She lives in Kentucky.

k..Thanks..

Good Afternoon Everybody!

Would just like to say that it would seem that anybody who has the knowledge & ability to hookup remotely to computer(s) physically removed from their location would be in full ability to disguise where their posts are originating from.  I know myself I have this feature turned off on my PC as in the past some no good hacker did just that to me & then sent off lots of emails.

Thinking outloud for those who have never had similar experiences.

Billy used to confront Scubajap on the RWV thingie and when he posted to her, he seemed to know her and Julia and said things that made me feel that he knew them and had been in Aruba.  I was told that Billy was from Palm Beach and had some personal grudge against Aruba (I cannot remember for what) but that was told to me by someone who might have been lapping at the saucer of AHATA.

Klaas, there are many Billright posts missing, as they would be deleted immediately in many cases and then Billy began posting under other aliases.  I wish I could remember all the names he posted under, and he used different IPs which drove Dan nuts.

There is a (billy  right) William Wright/Aruba...

this person would probably know Julia.

It really doesn't look too promising that we will be receiving any news on the Miner's in Utah for quite some time.  Big surprise, nothing changed after the Sago Mine disaster & rescue plans are far from rescue but more or less nothing but recover.

I am checking at "Today's News" here on SM too.  But if there is news, (pray it is GOOD) the news will be given here too, with maybe a good follow up article with link under "Today's News"  BTW for example, like the school killings started out as "Today's News" and the story has been developing.  Will it get moved to another thread, say like M & E?  Yeah, I know.  We need more places to look :roll:  That said, I hope monkeys will make it over to some of the M & E threads.  It's important imo.

  I agree that a PM feature would be a great help also  as we could communicate with out putting out E-mail Addys  up for grabs.
   Personally I do not fear people having my E-Mail address as I use Gmail and so far it has worked miracles in avoiding spam and or unwanted -mails .
  but i think some folks are still stymied about what can and cannot be done thru e mails 
or maybe just don't want to be bothered   I am sometimes  too dammed  brave for my own good I have been told .

Did you know the caretaker that was killed on Ving Rhames property was NOT killed by the dogs?  I posted the update article under the Ving Rhames thread.  He had bites, like he had been pulled or tugged on his arms legs, but NO bites to his head and torso.  The media made such a sensation in the beginning, saying he was mauled by the mastiffs, but no follow up to say the autopsy shows he wasn't killed by the dogs.

Yes - it appears FOB2 is not down so that's where they are hanging out.  FOB2 is an invite only forum:

Edited to add:  In case you are wondering why I posted that link, it's only so those that know how can go ahead and check the DNS if they want to, on their own.  You can't get into that site without an invite.

klaas - Thank you and others at SM's helm for this thread; I really appreciate it. I do have one question.

As you know, I scan Diario and Amigoe every day for murder & mayhem on Aruba. (Occasionally I see something else of interest; i.e., stories about tourism.)

I have been posting certain of the crimes on the M&C thread and usually also in the LCD, so other monkeys will know.

I think it would be excessive to post in 3 places - here, the current Natalee thread, and M&C thread.

Other than the M&C thread, should I routinely post the crimes here, or in the Natalee thread?

* * *
And speaking of it - I have an opinion about the S&S thread and maybe others, as compared to the M&C thread.

We aren't expected to discuss M&C on Aruba only in the M&C thread. What's important is that the information we have is in that ONE place.

That's how I feel about S&S too. I don't mind S&S posts wherever (although I am not that much into them), but the S&S thread should be the ONE place where their actual posts, and anything we think we've figured out, should be. Just so the wheel doesn't have to be reinvented.

(For instance, S&S comments aligned with the timeline as we know it, is a good piece of work. I can see that being treated in a similar manner as the Summary in the M&C thread.)

Just my opinion, of course.

The News reports from Aruba whether directly related to Natalee or regarding tourism should be posted the same as always, in the M&C thread and in the Natalee Discussion thread but NOT HERE.

Ongoing Shango/Simian discussion should be in the Shango/Simian thread in the NH forum.  An occasional reference here is no big deal. 

This is a thread for any topic thoughts.  Any actual NEWS on particular MP cases belong in the appropriate thread.  Any actual NEWS about the mine disaster or any other current even can be mentioned here but really should have it's own thread here in the Current Events forum.

Does that makes sense?

FOB1 is forever history as per
nomdeguerre Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 11:55 am at RU
I've been saying that since the day I got here, Pro. If everybody put all10, wabbi, and a few others on ignore, either they'd leave, or they'd go play in their own little playpen and leave the rest of us alone.

That's the reason the Fobbers decided to just stick with Fob2 and not try to resurrect Fob1 and keep it going - too many trolls.




Yes - it appears FOB2 is not down so that's where they are hanging out.  FOB2 is an invite only forum:

Edited to add:  In case you are wondering why I posted that link, it's only so those that know how can go ahead and check the DNS if they want to, on their own.  You can't get into that site without an invite.

That one has got to be a real snake pit!

Mrs. Red - when JR and Boucheron left FOB, they left it with nobody to delete posts or ban people.  Trolls (pro Natalee) infiltrated FOB.  Moonshadows created a new forum called FOB2 which is invite only so they wouldn't get trolls. 

FOB apprears to be done with now and only FOB2 (invite only) is till up.

crece is togrow from the verb crecer
tatawa is an indian word used as a prefix before the action  haci comes from verb hacer or to do.
basta alone is truly enough but when used with another action verb may mean very in this case very bad.

crece=  it grows.....or boy?? LOL!

good job klaas and mrs red....i guess your suggestions to red & tom were welcomed.....now that i have looked around and know my surroundings...i really like this set up! :smt052

Klaas - just want to clarify something. Please bear with me. It takes sock monkeys a little longer to catch on to things sometimes.

It's okay to discuss Natalee here like we always did, unless there is some serious news/case development, and then that should be posted in the other Natalee thread?

For instance, we can still speculate, discuss our theories, etc., here, but an announcement about Beth's book tour would go in the other thread?

Thanks. Maybe I'll get it soon.

Good to see you, Cuz,

Yes, I think this will work well.  Anything about Natalee in the Natalee Thread/Threads with a link here (if the poster wants to put one).  With IE7 Tabbed browsing, one could in theory even have a tab open here and one in Natalee thread if fearful of missing something.  Or one for here and one for Front Page.

Don't know if that is OK to do or if Dugga would object to more than one tab being open in the Forum/Blog.  What do you think, Klaas?

If it's just speculation or "musings" it's ok here unless it gets out of hand.  If you want to bring up a theory and discuss it at length then it really should go in the NH thread.  NEWS, PHOTOS, S&S should all really go in the NH forum.

If you hear a rumor that Joran is in Aruba, it's OK to post it here.  If you find out it's fact it should really be in the NH thread.  Not sure if that's the best example.  Links pertaining to the case, Diario article, etc should not be posted here but in the NH forum.

This is not a NH thread it's a current events thread.  So discussing any current events is OK.  Events that may lead to further discussion should be in their own thread or forum.

Is that confusing enough for you?  LOL  :lol:

It makes sense to me to have the NH discussions in Natalee's own thread and all the other everyday day stuff in this thread.  I am sure an occasional mention of Natalee would not be frowned on here but it is easier for everyone to keep their thoughts and discussions on track with separate threads.
Guess it just makes more for Klaas to oversee though. I can imagine her sitting in front of a row of monitors watching each thread like a security camera network :lol: :lol:

An occasional discussion of Natalee isn't frowned upon here because most of the time we are going over old stuff.  But if it is something new that is discovered and discussed it should be in the NH thread (Photos, court date, etc).

This is what Klaas posted in the beginning of the thread:

This thread will be like the old LCD thread.  We only request that if you have actual news, photos or pertenant facts on specific cases you post in the proper area.

Example:  If you have a news article or photo or specific information on the NH or other MP cases please post in either the NH thread or the MP thread.  If you have information on a court date in the NH case, please post in the NH thread, etc.

If you really just want to chat about silly stuff, please go to the chat room.

Other than that, discussion about all topics is welcome and this thread will act as our "meeting place and hang out".

I completely agree, Tibro.  It isn't confusing at all.  Discuss Natalee in her thread and Current Events and other things that don't have a thread of their own here as well as a link to announcements made in any of the different threads/forums if poster wants to.

Internet Explorer Version 7 has little index tabs at the top of the page that show which site you are on.  I put more than one on SM and still can do two other sites open at the same time.  Maybe more, haven't tried, but they are shown as little tabs at the top of the page and you can close them one by one.

You may be doing this but I didn't know what else to call it but tabbed browser.  If you have the last version of Internet Explorer, I think this is what you are doing, too.

Anna - I have 6 IE7 tabs (3 are SM).  You can open another IE browser window and have another bunch of tabs there too.  I don't think there is a limit to how many tabs or how many browsers you have open.  Only in how much demand it puts on your own PC as far as memory goes.

It is very helpful with the tabs.  I had a lot of tabs open because I felt I had to be every where but I realize I can just keep two open for SM.

For a monkey to show up on your desktop you have to "right mouse click" on this website and say "create shortcut". That will put a shortcut icon on your desktop that should be a monkey  :wink:

I don't know CUZ, but maybe last thing, logout and close the SM windows?  Then the next one to use your puter wouldn't have a clue where you had been.  At least that is what I think but others know far more about that than me.  No one else uses my computer so I don't have to use care in that regard.

Although I have suspected the dogs a few times when strange items arrive in dog food orders like toys!   :P

It's those cute pandas again!  This time they had the wrong sex for one until she gave birth to twin cubs!  No wonder they are endangered if we don't know any more about them than this.

This happened a few years back.  My husband does all the vacuuming.

Anyway, we had this vacuum for about 2 years.  My husband was sitting on the couch and spilled a bowl of nuts in his lap.  So I told him, just sit there and I'll get the vacuum.

So I got the vacuum, plugged it in and took it over to the couch.  Then I just stood there looking at it.

My husband said "you don't know how to turn it on do you"?   I said, no.... ha ha ha ha ha

I have a little Mikimoto pearl story...An ex-boyfriend gave me a really pretty pearl and diamond ring about 3 years ago.  I loved it! After we broke up I couldn't wear it so I put it in my jewlery box.  When I was packing to move in Feb I found the box for it.  I guess I never read the writing on the inside of the box because it said that it was a Mikimoto Pearl.  A friend was helping me pack and I said--OMG that is a Mikimoto pearl!  That's what Mrs Red wants!--She was like--what are you talking about--so i tried to explain you and SM---she didn't get it.  But I guess I found out the ex wasn't such a tight wad.

I have a vaccum cleaner story that is funny NOW but at the time wasn't.  I was vacuuming ashes from off the hearth when I smelled smoke and turned around and the whole room was full of it.  I vacuumed up some hot embers that had caught on fire inside the vacuum cleaner!  I drug it outside by the hose but it burned a spot on the floor!

Klaas, you are wise to never go near those things!  All kinds of bad things have happened to me related to them.  Stay away whatever you do is my advice.   :D :D :D

Well, my vacuum cleaner story involves a dead rat.  That's all I am saying.  :roll:

I thought the rat was dead, but he was only playing 'possum.  So you can imagine what happened next.  Reminded me of a cartoon where the critter is sucked up through the hose and you see a little lump as it goes by.  I didn't want to get him out but I couldn't stand knowing he was in there running around either.

Meant "goofed" up the quotes... am drained from exploring today. I found the tool box site. I happened to ask the man who was in his side yard if he'd heard about a tool box and he was the man who found the tool box. Actually it was where I thought it was last week when I didn't have my camera.

Learned a bunch about the railroad areas. Am drained. Have some good pictures and need now to organize them into areas of interest Re: the areas around the house where Donna Jou, we think, was last seen.

A while ago I posted about blue beer in the Lounge... I think I have one left. Time for a toast to Tim Miller, Red, Mrs. Red, Klaas, Dugga, and all my Monkey family!!!

My father-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law's husband's aunt have been staying with us since Thursday afternoon, and I just found out they're staying until tomorrow at 3 o'clock, at which point I'll have the privelege of driving them to the airport during rush hour. For the past three days we have done nothing but sit in the car or the hot sun, waiting to cheer for them in this fundraising walk they were doing...and if anyone ever uttered a complaint about being the least bit uncomfortable, it was rendered illegitimate by the fact that we hadn't walked 20 miles that day (never mind that I am four-and-a-half months pregnant, and it does take a certain amount of time and energy to create and incubate a human life for nine months...I realize that pales in comparison to long-distance walking).

My husband has gotten no work done this weekend and is in a terrible mood. My guests have washed a white towel with colors (there's a reason why my towels are fluffy, white, and beautiful--and it's because I only wash them with other whites), run a Waterford highball glass through the dishwasher, practically gone through every linen tea towel I own, and one actually doctored the boils on her feet on a white duvet cover on my grandmother's antique bed. (Ever heard of doing first aid in a bathroom?)

I have had one round of houseguests after another continuously since August 2. I thought they'd be leaving tomorrow morning and I could go on to have a somewhat normal day. Now I have to cancel my lunch plans, and I have less than a day to get my house back in order, design a poster as a favor, and pack for my trip home.

I am seriously about to cry and have no one to talk to.

/vent

Thanks; I feel better. I have to keep telling myself these things would never happen to me if I weren't such a d*mn good hostess.

Lalas,  I am terrified of mice.  Much more so than spiders that I can just smush.  Mice have TEETH.  Big ones, too.  You were right to have DH handle the matter.

But see what I mean about vacuum cleaners?  They are just plain evil at times.  I swear a couple of mine have been possessed.  In addition the the one trying to kill me about the hot embers, once there was a bug on the lip of an aquarium and so I thought I could just slurp it up with the vacuum but instead, without my touching it at all for I was VERY careful not to do so, the next thing I knew, water was shorting out the vacuum and I was knocked for a loop!  It just slurped up the water on its own without my actually touching it!

Dangerous appliances!

OMG, I'd be going nuts.  I'm terrible with company that stays.  I don't mind a party but overnight guests are not my cup of tea.  Even when we have a party here I hate having others in my kitchen. 

I truely feel for you!  Pregnant too and the heat!   {{{{HUGS}}}}  Get an icepack or a bowl of ice cream.  Put your feet up.  At least there is light at the end of the tunnel.  One more day.

Blue KY Girl, can you call them a cab for tomorrow?  You need to get up with a terrible backache, unable to even stand straight if you get my drift! 

And seriously, extreme heat is NOT good for those pregnant.  You have not only rights but the obligation to put the baby you are carrying ahead of other adults who can take care of themselves.

I have a real thing about people who are not considerate of others who are pregnant, guess you can tell!  That was one time I did demand to be given special consideration and would just balk like anything at doing anything that made me feel uncomfortable no matter how minor it was.  I think we know we have limitations at that time we don't normally have and others need to adjust to them.

It seems that everyone is going to sleep, so I wanted to say goodnight to all and thank you again for your words of support. It means a lot to know there are those who understand and are listening.

I just had an epiphany about motherhood which I hope will help me. It had to do with my husband's weekend more than mine--if anyone in his family had once been understanding of the fact that he is constantly buried in work, if anyone had been kind enough to think about things from his perspective and say, "It's OK--go do what you need to do--we understand. You're not required to be here," and made him feel less obligated to be there for every second of the weekend's activities, it certainly would have helped him a lot.

I'm going to treat this whole neverending horrible weekend as a lesson in empathy and understanding that will prevent me from putting unrealistic expectations on my own child, and understanding when he/she is doing all he/she can.

Goodnight, friends.  :)

I am going to suggest to you that you come up with a LIST OF HOUSE RULES, print it out on your computer, or hand print on nice paper & put in a frame, use colors of your bathroom & place it where ALL CAN READ.

That's a sure way of knowing whether they should ever be your house guest again or you call the nearest hotel/motel when they are going to be in the area & you can provide them the phone number as they DIDN'T FOLLOW the house rules.

But see what I mean about vacuum cleaners?  They are just plain evil at times.  I swear a couple of mine have been possessed.  In addition the the one trying to kill me about the hot embers, once there was a bug on the lip of an aquarium and so I thought I could just slurp it up with the vacuum but instead, without my touching it at all for I was VERY careful not to do so, the next thing I knew, water was shorting out the vacuum and I was knocked for a loop!  It just slurped up the water on its own without my actually touching it!

Dangerous appliances!

I'm posting this here as well as the NH thread, 'cause when I read it back, I guess it was musings. Sorry!  :D

I know that not everyone agrees with me, but I believe that beyond the HI story told to ALE, there is continually mounting lies and inconsistencies that have been left unchallenged that have potential for criminal charges. ( Anna, I may have just beaten your long sentence record.)

Joran is largely responsible for the growing heap. He just cannot keep his mouth shut. I want the Dutch to prepare themselves with every nuance of conflicting statement from interviews, statements, books, cell and computer records, and taped conversations, and blitz a synchronized "haul" of every person of interest in this case into jail for intense questioning. I include members of ALE who had custody of evidence or obstructed normal proceedings in this scenario. Keep them separated, confront them long and hard with the inconsistencies and one of two things would happen IMO.

Either they would gain enough info to come up with physical evidence, or they would have overwhelming evidence for the soundest circumstantial case in history. Certainly, they would have lessor charges in their pocket.

That's my wish. I don't think anyone can claim at this point, to have done a reliable investigation into the case of Natalee Holloway with anything short of that undertaking. JMO.

My worry is that there is NO evidence left for the Dutch to work with.  Only words and I doubt they will prosecute on that alone.  We have uncovered lie after lie and still there is no way to prosecute these creeps without someone turning on the other and telling it all.  I still doubt a good outcome.  Where's Robots?  I need convincing again.

ALE decided to show the world their monumental efforts to pursue this case by draining a friggin pond and doing air shows instead. It was never about getting to the bottom of what happened or finding Natalee. They MUST have known what happened and the object was to NOT divuldge it, but show the world to what lengths they'd go to keep their island "safe and happy" without revealing the nasty underbelly.

The suggestion of ocean searches required big efforts to divert attention.

Somehow this has to be relevant in some way! lol

(AP) People are being careful about their language around an 8-year-old named Peaches who has a habit of learning and repeating the worst she hears.

Peaches is a Moluccan cockatoo, and staffers at Black Pine Animal Park say she used to be a pet in a household where she picked up a vocabulary that can be as colorful as her feathers.

The bird didn't miss anything when a volunteer construction worker started cussing recently after a chimp threw feces at him, said Jessica Price, senior zookeeper at the sanctuary about 30 miles north of Fort Wayne.

"She started laughing and carrying on," Price said.

Peaches then reverted to a few of her own favorites.

"Go away, shut up, shut your blankety-blank mouth," Price said. "She says a lot of very bad words."

It is difficult to get birds to stop using words they have learned, she said.

"We obviously don't repeat them," Price said. "We don't encourage it."

(AP) A woman attacked a karaoke singer belting out Coldplay on Thursday night, telling him he "sucked" before she pushed and punched him to get him to stop singing, bar staff said. The man was singing "Yellow" when it happened.

"It took three or four of us to hold her down," bartender Robert Willmette said.

When she was escorted outside, the 21-year-old woman "went crazy," Willmette said, throwing punches at him and others, including an off-duty police officer.

Patrol officers and detectives then arrived at the neighborhood bar and blocked off the street, which inflamed the woman's rage even more, a police report said. Before police could handcuff the woman, she headbutted the off-duty officer at least twice.

The off-duty officer was treated for cuts, scrapes and bruises.

After treatment for injuries, the woman was booked into the King County jail for investigation of assault. She was also held on a warrant issued for a previous theft charge.

According to bartender notes, she had only a single shot of Jagermeister.

I would have to say Jagermeister was largely responsible for my breaking my arm several years ago when my husband was out of town, the Princess was about 8 y.o. .  I had to wait until morning to drive myself to the doc in the box.  I was not the only one involved with Jagermeister that day.

Woman Arrested After Complaining About 'Fake' Drugs
http://www.cbs46.com/news/13878002/detail.html

Quote
ROCHELLE, Ga. -- A woman was arrested after she called local police to help "get her money back" after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she purchased.

Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.

She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were "fake."
She took Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office into her kitchen and showed them the drugs, police said.

She was promptly arrested on charges of possession of cocaine.

It began with volleyball.  Down at the pool (but not water volleyball)  I was doing well until I was up in the air and a kid ran into me.  Naturally I caught myself on my right wrist.  Broke it.  It was about 7 p.m. on the 4th of July.  I know better than to think there's an orthopedist sitting around waiting for this to happen to me.  So I put my arm on ice, found some pain pills and had a beer.  Nobody was driving anybody anywhere.  Next morning, I drove myself to the doc in the box so they could x-ray and tell me what I already knew and send me to an ortho to set the break and put me in a lovely fuschia cast.

The first thing DH saw when I picked him up on his return from out of town was this spectacular cast hanging out the window.

And now you know the rest of the story.

(AP) A man accused of having sex with a goat is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday on a animal cruelty charge. Charging papers say a witness saw 63-year-old Arthur Lawton having sex with a goat May 8th in a barn at Eatonville's Pioneer Farm Museum where he worked.

Lawton said he was trying to milk the goat.

Lawton missed a scheduled arraignment on August 3rd but turned himself in last night to Pierce County sheriff's deputies.

He's the second person charged in the county since the Legislature made bestiality a crime in response to the fatal injury to a man having sex with a horse in Enumclaw.

O/T

My father-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law's husband's aunt have been staying with us since Thursday afternoon, and I just found out they're staying until tomorrow at 3 o'clock, at which point I'll have the privelege of driving them to the airport during rush hour. For the past three days we have done nothing but sit in the car or the hot sun, waiting to cheer for them in this fundraising walk they were doing...and if anyone ever uttered a complaint about being the least bit uncomfortable, it was rendered illegitimate by the fact that we hadn't walked 20 miles that day (never mind that I am four-and-a-half months pregnant, and it does take a certain amount of time and energy to create and incubate a human life for nine months...I realize that pales in comparison to long-distance walking).

My husband has gotten no work done this weekend and is in a terrible mood. My guests have washed a white towel with colors (there's a reason why my towels are fluffy, white, and beautiful--and it's because I only wash them with other whites), run a Waterford highball glass through the dishwasher, practically gone through every linen tea towel I own, and one actually doctored the boils on her feet on a white duvet cover on my grandmother's antique bed. (Ever heard of doing first aid in a bathroom?)

I have had one round of houseguests after another continuously since August 2. I thought they'd be leaving tomorrow morning and I could go on to have a somewhat normal day. Now I have to cancel my lunch plans, and I have less than a day to get my house back in order, design a poster as a favor, and pack for my trip home.

I am seriously about to cry and have no one to talk to.

/vent

Thanks; I feel better. I have to keep telling myself these things would never happen to me if I weren't such a d*mn good hostess.



NEXT TIME SERVE MY MOM'S FAMOUS SHOE-FLY PIE:


Ingredients
1 heaping tablespoon of Algae
A pinch of Fungus
4 cups of Pond Water
3/4 cup of Sunflower Seeds
A dollop of Honey
1 Shoe
3 cups of Fresh Files

Directions
Grate the Algae and pinch the Fungus. If the Algae is grating on you, pinch it too.

Carefully separate the Pond Water from the pond scum. Save the pond sum for later. It makes a delicious dessert topping.

While nibbling on the Sunflower Seeds ---which have nothing to do with this recipe but sure are mighty tasty yesiree---use your dolloper to dollop Honey all over the Shoe. (A loafer is perfect for casual meals, but a high heel or wingtip works best for formal dinners. If you're planning to eat and run,k use a sneaker.)

Sprinkle 3 cups fresh Flies over the now sticky Shoe and enjoy!


This is sure to have guests think twice about coming back to yer house Heh Heh!

Easy,
The song that evokes this response in me is one that I can't act on but you know that Hallelujah Chorus they sing in Church every Easter?  So said response would be totally inappropriate and it is the delivery required by the song I find so objectionable and NOT the message.
I really wish they would skip that one.  The Haaallaluuaahh after each line gets to me long before the song is over.

MsMarple ~ You *know* we need to hear your lawnmower story.  :lol: :lol: :wink:

I had this lawnmower for eons, and had to get psychologically prepared to use it – not about cutting the grass, but about getting the @%$*&% thing to start. (One of those pull cord things.) Usually I was exhausted by the time it kicked in.

So. One fine day, I psyched myself up to this task, and lo and behold – it started on the FIRST TRY!

I was so startled that I fell over backward.

Left foot scraped the mower’s housing, but I thought nothing of it at the time, and of course I didn’t DARE turn off the lawn mower!

Two hours later, I turn the mower off, and hear a squishing sound as I walk. Look down, and my left shoe is a dirty red color covered by a whole lot of grass clippings. (I was wearing old white sneakers.)

~ sparing certain grim details here, but I was able to drive to the ER without getting blood all over the car  :lol: ~

It was not the blade, it was the edge of the metal housing, that cut through my shoe and the tippy tip of my big toe. At the ER, they had to remove the toe nail to take stitches.

The doctor told me that had he known beforehand that I worked for < a VERY well known health insurance company > he would have removed my toe nail without benefit of anesthesia.

I think that was a joke.

MsMarple ~ You *know* we need to hear your lawnmower story.  :lol: :lol: :wink:

I had this lawnmower for eons, and had to get psychologically prepared to use it – not about cutting the grass, but about getting the @%$*&% thing to start. (One of those pull cord things.) Usually I was exhausted by the time it kicked in.

So. One fine day, I psyched myself up to this task, and lo and behold – it started on the FIRST TRY!

I was so startled that I fell over backward.

Left foot scraped the mower’s housing, but I thought nothing of it at the time, and of course I didn’t DARE turn off the lawn mower!

Two hours later, I turn the mower off, and hear a squishing sound as I walk. Look down, and my left shoe is a dirty red color covered by a whole lot of grass clippings. (I was wearing old white sneakers.)

~ sparing certain grim details here, but I was able to drive to the ER without getting blood all over the car  :lol: ~

It was not the blade, it was the edge of the metal housing, that cut through my shoe and the tippy tip of my big toe. At the ER, they had to remove the toe nail to take stitches.

The doctor told me that had he known beforehand that I worked for < a VERY well known health insurance company > he would have removed my toe nail without benefit of anesthesia.

I think that was a joke. 

Oh my gosh  ~  ewwwww weeeeee ~ that's a story you can always use as an icebreaker.  :shock: :shock: :shock: :2doh:

Hey I like sex too but Mr. Winky never advised me to stick in a critter. Thank God my mind over rules his.  True Story from PA. afew years back. Guy from Pittsburgh picksup a road kill doe and takes it home. People complain of the smell after a few days, police come and find that the guy has it in the tub, had performed sex acts on it and was eating steaks from it. The game commission fined the crap out of him as they had jurisdiction. I am a hunter and it made me want to puke.

Sunfreak,
You have just been through so much this year!  It has been one thing after another for you and I truly hope and pray it is behind you now. 

I remembered you were sorting through things and I have taken on the mountain of paper I have collected and am trying to sort through that.  Most of it can go so you inspired me to do that.  Old financial records, stock actions, things like that, five years is all that is required to keep them for tax purposes so I am pitching out massive amounts of papers, most shredded.  The shredding takes the longest as I have a tiny little machine.

Back to work with me. . . .

BTW, our weather calls for a high of 103 every day this week and we have had no real rain since about Easter.  I have never seen anything like this in this area in my life.  Trees are already losing lower leaves, etc.  Grass is just about gone, all brown and crunchy.  But it is the dust that I hate and it is everywhere.  The backsides of curtains are dusty where it creeps in around the windows even with storm windows.  A layer forms on everything in a couple of days. 

Welcome to the new desert southeast!  Although in the southern part of the state, they have had more rain than up here in the northern part.  This extreme heat is just making it all worse, too.

Later, taters!

Finally the little girl told her Mom, thank God.  The grand mother is as sick as the grand father.  Perverts, both.

I called a contact in Aruba...he is in the law division on the island...that's all I can say...not trying to be snotty...just smart ;-)

Here is what I found out today...don't know if it's old news or not...I just write down our conversations.

Destiny

 Hello Klaas,

Very interesting conversation with XXXXXXX at the XXXXXXXXXX today.  We covered a lot of ground, so I'll try to put in the best order that I can based on copious notes I took during our conversation.

First I told him who I was, he said he remembered me and that it was good to hear my voice again. I thanked him profusely for all his kind help last week, and Thanked him for being so friendly with me.

He said "Yes I remember you called about Lorenzo, so that topic is what we talked about for awhile.  I brought up again the trial status of Lorenzo again, he said that Lorenzo would not have a trial.  He tried to explain the Aruban Justice System to me....he really likes to talk, He said that Lorenzo had a private mediation with a Judge from Holland, and that the only way that Lorenzo would be brought back in for trial is that after 60 days from his release on July 25th, if a Jury requested a trial, that then Lorenzo would be brought back in to be seen by a panel of 3 Judges to determine if that should happen.  But, he also said"THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN"  and that Lorenzo had been released on time already served...18 days was the time he mentioned...so it seems that Lorenzo is scott free on the drug bust.

I did ask him if Paulus or anyone from that office was Lorenzo's Lawyer, he said no, he thought it was a Lawyer from Holland.

I then felt brave enough to bring up Joran...he immediately said "oh the Natallee case I asked him if he knew if Joran had come to Aruba during vacation, he said no Joran is in Holland for school, but then he threw in that he had heard that Joran had made a short trip to Florida for an interview, he didn't know whom with, nor what for, but from there went back to Holland.

He did tell me that Mama and Papa Sloot are on Aruba right now, and that Papa is getting to work on his new Lawyer practice.

He also told me that approx. 8 weeks ago a team of FBI Agents arrived in Aruba and questioned a lot of Police and Officials,  regarding the Nat case..and the FBI also questions some ppl from a newspapers didn't ask what paper nor who was questioned.

If he doesn't volunteer, I try not to appear too nosey.

I did ask about the KLPD investigators from Holland...he said they have all gone home now. none on the island...I asked him if the case was closed, he said no it was not...I asked him his feelings about the Nat case...his answer was that he had a *strange* feeling about the case, in fact he said this 2 times....then he went on about how Aruba is such a small island, that something should have been found, and how hard everyone worked in the beginning with the search efforts.

He also said Nancy Grace turned a lot of the locals off with how she presented Aruba....he brought this up out of the blue.

He sail the case is still very much open and is basically being handled by the KLPD in Holland and the FBI.  And, that he enjoyed talking  with me, and I could call him anytime with questions.

That's what I have for now...

Destiny...please excuse my spelling, am tired today.

Evening, Monkeys!

Destiny, thanks so much for that post!!! You are remarkable!

BB..I think it probably was Julia and a few of her cronies..after all, she was the worst offender of trying to inject herself into this case.

In fact, it could cause a reasonable person to wonder if she wasn't indeed involved in Natalee's disappearance or the coverup. I think that wild goose chase to the courthouse with Beth was to give "someone" time to move the body.

IMO

These damn crabs have already killed a snail trying to steal his shell.  Then I guess they didnt like the shell cause they didnt take it so dead snail for nothing.  My GF is bringing over some empty shells tomorrow so they can use them instead of killing everything else in the tank.

Ok... I have a question on where something might be posted...

I set up Re: Off Topic and NOT part of the CHAT Room  in the Lounge  when 20+ were in Chat... which was way too many for me.

When For Monkey Musings / Open Discussion  opened up I directed everything here.

But one  of the last posts I made there was
WONDERFUL news about Beth doing Dana's show !!!!!!!!!!  :D :D :D

A question for the thread though......

why is it men always talk about breaking wind?  :2doh:

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/OldF/hmm.gif)--(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/OldF/hmm.gif) -- (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/OldF/confused.gif)


Should I which to PONDER  this topic more  where should I put it... the Lounge or as a sub topic.. under Musing.. ?

I have my own reasons for picking my NIC...
I know some people have a real problem with part of it. I could have made it OLDFLATULENCE    old OLDCHIT  (as in Chat  :roll:) but I did not...

We abbreviate everones (I think) NIC  and I do not expect a lot of off drop off messages  or responses I can not locate (sooner or later) but OF... is a problem for me - OLD is not too bad though. For some reason people just do not want to add the "F" letter

So If wanted to start a place to to ask and PONDER why pepole are a reluctant to use  a term... where would the proper place be..

Thanks
OldF

it's fine by me to leave it here Old Fart... what am I supposed to call you..???


Blah - it was sad, but the funny part of it was I didn't buy the fish... he came about because a coworker took me seriously when I said we needed an office pet.... and she didn't get that it was hyperbole...

Would "old lady" be term for wife or girlfriend?

not sure, thats why I said old lady - covers them both  :lol:

Blah,  you need to learn some political correctness in my book.  I am very aware of what "my old lady" means and it is a very degratory statement showing lack of respect for women. It is not a term of endearment.  I sorry you didn't know that.   People are wives, girlfriends, or significant people in someones life.  The term old lady is not a matter of age.

Blah,  you need to learn some political correctness in my book.  I am very aware of what "my old lady" means and it is a very degratory statement showing lack of respect for women. It is not a term of endearment.  I sorry you didn't know that.   People are wives, girlfriends, or significant people in someones life.  The term old lady is not a matter of age. It is a condescending term in any circle. 

Midgets are also no longer called midgets.  They perfer the term "little people".

welp, sorry you feel that way but I really dont need your preaching.  I call my girlfreind old lady and she calls me old man and if you dont like it, tough.  It is not condescending in OUR circle so you can just butt right on out of it.

I'm really tired of so many people who claim to be offended all of the time even when the subject has nothing to do with them.  If you want to be offended by everything everyone says - go right ahead, I really dont care and I really dont care to hear about it.

If you were so aware of what it meant, then why did you ask in the first place?  Just so you could come preach to me?  Well your wasting your breath.

Have a nice night.

Blah-- from the Urban dictionary

14. old lady  19 up, 6 down 
 
 A term used to refer to your GF or your wife, etc. Usually somebody who you may like, but really don't have much respect for. Also a term used out of habit by people usually living in lower income neighborhoods.

"Don't worry about it, I'll just get my old lady to make us something to eat."
"My old lady will take you to where you need to go."
"My old lady will never find out."
"You never hear" I really love my old lady, she means the world to me"

O.J. Simpson's 'If I Did It' to Be Published
Monday, August 13, 2007


LOS ANGELES —  A literary agent for the family of stabbing victim Ronald Goldman has made a deal to repackage and publish O.J. Simpson's canceled "If I Did It" book about the slayings of Goldman and Simpson's ex-wife, a spokesman for the agent said Monday.

We kept saying, it is OK to quit, come back when it is cooler.  They wouldn't leave!  We brought them ice cold towels for the heads, invited them in the house to cool off, gave them ice water, and a cold corona when they were done.  We also said, jump in the pool when you need to.  they just kept going and going.  unbelievable.

Here is the current Drought Monitor and as you can see the area is once again expanding for the drought in Alabama.

http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html

I hate to whine all the time but we have had no real rain in so long and 103 degrees every day this week is going to finish off all the small vegetation like grass.  We are not allowed to water or at least have been shamed into not doing so as we have no way of knowing when it will rain again.

I can't even think outside when it is this hot.  Don't know how AZSunny can stand 114 but do know it is not humid there like here.  Not humid in my over, either, as Johnny Carson used to say about that.

I agree wreck !! It rocks !!!!!!!!!

It's been 112 to 115 here with the heat index over the last week, I was up at 5am rolling out the trash cans and watering the flowers. We've lived with designated watering days and watering bans for the last 7 years, due to an ongoing drought. This spring was the only time that we had real rain in forever and consistently, which was good for I suspect all the trees in my yard would be toppling over if not for that.

My upstairs home office is so hot I had to move in an industrial fan last week, only good thing is I can't hear as well on my conference calls due to the noise of it, but that might be a blessing at times  :lol: I just keep my mute button on if I don't have anything to say, and enjoy the roaring sound of the fan ! If I kept my upstairs cool I'd be bankrupt too !

Good. I was hoping it would be well received. There are some little hacks that allow you to enter in the page numbers directly, but they're a bit clunky for my taste. Instead, I am going to try to work out a different method myself. But in the meantime, especially since we typically rotate popular threads at 50, this might be a nice solution.

Good morning folks...!

Dugga...that has been one of those requests (page numbers) we have tried off and on for a while...love it...!

Re recalls:  I know that there will be a new list of Chinese recalls today...but wanted to say that I used the little Gilcrist&Soames toothpaste on a recent trip...now thought to be toxic...perhaps containing some ingredient used in antifreeze.  Seems like we ought to have a thread for recalls...in the Lounge.

Hiya, Mere~! I kept looking at chat yesterday with one user and finally went in to check on you!  :lol: You were gone.

I have a question.....Anybody know what to do about "sudden pop up onslaught?" I've never had a problem with pop-ups and my settings haven't changed, but whatever fling.com is, I can't get rid of it!

It has been brought up by poster LoRain on BFN that
the Natalee thread of the Diario forum is filled with
vile and filthy posts against Natalee and her family.
Also, there is a lot of spamming going on.

The moderators and admins are letting people post any
nasty trash they want. Jossy might not know how bad it is–
please contact him at the link below. It helps to put “ATTN: Jossy”
in the subject area. Thanks!

Goodmorning all.  Yes, I noticed some popups late last night and sent one to Red and Dugga.  I don't think mine was fling.com.  I have no idea why all of a sudden, it could have to do with new advertisors, not sure but Dugga can find out.

Having all of the page numbers available at the bottom is fantastic!! :)

Good. I was hoping it would be well received. There are some little hacks that allow you to enter in the page numbers directly, but they're a bit clunky for my taste. Instead, I am going to try to work out a different method myself. But in the meantime, especially since we typically rotate popular threads at 50, this might be a nice solution.


I may be slow to notice things, but I found that if I click on the link provided at Musings far right on the SM Index page, where it tells who the last post was made by.....it brings me right where I left off.  That is so cool, and it works for all...NH, Lounge, etc.

Voters in Athens, Alabama, are voting, today I think, on prohibition of alcohol sales.

Quote
A measure to end the sale of alcohol in Athens is up for a citywide vote, a rare instance where voters could overturn a previous vote to allow sales. Business interests are against repeal, but church leaders who helped organize the petition drive that got the measure on the ballot are asking members to pray and fast in support of a ban.

I had a serious problem with some adware/spyware at work recently and we have a pretty good security system in place.  Not sure where I picked it up, but it was invasive and would reset some of the privacy controls.  I think it was named mgrs.exe.  I did a search for it and found this geek forum discussing it and various spyware programs.  One guy really bragged on the shareware version of SUPERAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/), so I gave it a try.  It found things that all the others left alone.

This computer has never run as smooth and I am glad I got rid of the stuff before I had to call for tech support.

Oh, I know, msmarple! I have a tough time with that one, too! If there had been no visual images of her I know what I would have thought, but man, she's either an oscar winning actress or she's been just beaten down. I happened to be watching when she was on the stand and you could barely hear her say that her husband "kept making me have sex," and when further asked about that, she said, "He always wanted to have sex with my bottom."

We are experimenting with a few new advertising programs at the moment. Last night we did do a few hours of a trial run from one new service which Red and I are further investigating. They're currently turned off, however. Things should be business-as-usual today.

Me too (re. the jury). I didn't see any of the trial.

But the thing that bothers me is the money - remember she apparently had been taken in by one of these internet/email Nigerian money scams, and had lost about $17,000 ... and was doing all sorts of funky bank transactions to cover up (disguise) the loss. *In my opinion* that is what REALLY led to the shooting - supposedly she and her husband were supposed to be at the bank the next day to discuss these transactions. He probably didn't know about the loss, or what was going on with their bank accounts.

I'm pretty sure she dreaded telling him.

Japanese Biker Unknowingly Loses Leg, Continues Ride :shock:

Tuesday , August 14, 2007

A Japanese biker whose leg was severed below the knee continued his ride, apparently unaware of his loss, Reuters reports.

The office worker, who was not identified in the story, said he felt extreme pain after hitting a safety barrier on his motorcycle but rode for 1.2 miles before noticing.

One of the friends with whom he was riding retrieved the 54-year-old's body part during the outing in Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday.

He was taken to the hospital but the leg had been crushed

Something might have been clipped from the one you posted. He AND the leg made it to the hospital, but the leg had been crushed.

Especially since it was below the knee, I guess it is remotely possible that it could have been re-attached. ??

Anyone familiar with the Fort Myers Eight?  I wasn’t until I came across the story on MSNBC.com and did a little research?  It is a very interesting situation, but it has not received much attention from MSM.

In March a land surveyor discovered a human skull in a wooded area near Fort Myers, FL and alerted the authorities.  A search recovered the skeletal remains of eight men scattered about.  Several theories have been bouncing around, but the most dominant one is that it was a dumping ground for a serial killer.

Fort Myers police are turning to the public for help identifying eight adult men whose skeletal remains were found this spring in a wooded area on the east side of the city.

Authorities said they still don’t know how the men died, but they described healed injuries and dental work the men are thought to have had in life. The men, who likely died between 1980 and 2000, were identified as follows:


Individual 1: A white man in his late 20s to early 40s. Between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. In life, he was injured in both calves and ankles; had healed fractures to his ribs and chest. Was in the worst shape dentally, authorities say; he was the only one without current dental care. Had large, unfilled cavities that were probably painful and had bone loss.

Individual 2: A white male between 20 and 39. Between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall. Has a well-healed fracture in his right calf. No wisdom teeth, four pre-molars extracted. Dental work current at the time of death.

Individual 3: A white male in his 20s or 30s. Current dental work, no unfilled decay.

Individual 4: A white male in his 20s or 30s. Has all four wisdom teeth.

Individual 5: A white male between 18 and 26. Between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall. Current dental work, no fillings that were retrieved. Has three out of four wisdom teeth.

Individual 6: A white male in his late 20s to early 40s. Between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall. May have complained of back and hip pain. Has all four wisdom teeth.

Individual 7: A white male, also possibly of Hispanic lineage, in his 20s or 30s. Between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 3 inches tall. Had a fracture in his right wrist or forearm. Dental work current, no unfilled decay, but there was decay visible on X-rays. Authorities say he might not have known about it.

Individual 8: A white male in his 20s or 30s. Between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall. Had well-developed muscle on his collar bones, upper arms and chest — possibly an athlete or held a job or had habitual behavior that involved heavy lifting. Dental work current, no unfilled decay. Silver fillings on posterior teeth; has all four wisdom teeth.

I’ve often wondered why Florida has such a claim to fame.  Some say that the moderate climate attracts transients, but it must also attract kooks and assorted nuts!

If any of the missing person’s featured at SM remotely resemble any of these men, it would be worth taking a harder look.  There is a serial killer sitting on Florida’s death row that targeted men in and around Ft. Myers during the 90’s.  He also dumped his victims in wooded areas.  He is a very likely candidate, but no solid connection has been made yet.

Hello Monkeys

Just letting you know I have posted an article in the Lounge about an Australian man who fell for an internet dating scam and was lucky to be rescued and returned home alive.  I thought of several headings for the article but none were polite so I resorted to the newspaper heading  :roll:
I cannot imagine anyone who is able to walk and talk at the same time falling for such an obvious setup.  I wonder who is paying for all the police and officials' time for this rescue mission?  It is not only the young who get sucked in by internet criminals and I do hope this guy's family appoint a keeper for him in the future.

I notice we have more bells and whistles - the page numbers in full under each forum.  Nice to know Dugga listens to our wishes and supplies them when it is feasible to do so.  Thank you Red and Dugga for our new cages.

I have a question.....Anybody know what to do about "sudden pop up onslaught?" I've never had a problem with pop-ups and my settings haven't changed, but whatever fling.com is, I can't get rid of it!

Goodmorning all.  Yes, I noticed some popups late last night and sent one to Red and Dugga.  I don't think mine was fling.com.  I have no idea why all of a sudden, it could have to do with new advertisors, not sure but Dugga can find out.

Add me to the popup campaign.  I kept getting ads for an interactive art gallery or something.  The annoying thing was it kept popping up everytime I changed threads or loaded the next page.  I know popup ads are what support the site and I can handle them appearing when I first log into the site but please - not every page. Thankfully we are back to normal this morning.

Finally, I was able to post.  What is with this box popping up wanting e-mail to someone?   :roll:  Lord, I feel as though I have failed first grade math and trying to explain why to my mother who is a calculus professor.  :lol:

Hi monkeys, no more pop-ups except the e-mail box.  Whew.  It has taken me 24 hours to get in without a popup ad or e-mail message.   :-?   I must have a mental deficiency.  More bells and whistles makes for a confused old woman.  TTYL. Good to see you, Tibro.

How is the temperature "down under?"

Good to see you too, Tyler.  Weather is cold in my corner of the world, and rain forecast to next few days.  It is winter and August is usually our coldest month with snow on highlands and strong winds.  But the spring bulbs are getting ready to bloom and the blossom trees are budding up nicely. New born lambs will soon be appearing in the paddocks.  I love spring and all it's promise of new life and new beginnings.

Info on Nita Mayo   
Nita Mayo has been missing since August 8, 2005  when she had breakfast with a friend before leaving Hawthorne, NV for a day trip over the Sonora Pass. She has not been seen since.

Son works to keep Mayo in spotlight
Published: September 23, 2005

Nita Mayo's car was later found in the parking lot at the Donnell Vista overlook but the Hawthorne, Nev. woman hasn't been seen since.
Mayo’s car was discovered with her purse, cell-phone and keys inside around Donnell Vista on Highway 108 shortly after she disappeared.
“The note just said she was on the part of Sonora Pass that Steve (her boss) had told her about,” Pete Mayo said. “She was looking out over a meadow and listening to the sounds of the mountains.”
A glimmer of a lead came last Sunday, when a San Jose man at the Donnell Vista overlook spotted something yellow floating in Donnell Reservoir, 1,000 feet below. When Nita Mayo disappeared, investigators believe, she was wearing a yellow shirt. Upon seeing the yellow object, Joe Fedor called the Sheriff's Department to urge someone to fly over the lake to see what it was. But unpredictable wind conditions above the lake prevented that.
Two sheriff's investigators went to the vista overlook Monday, but they saw nothing, said Lunney.

Drew Kesse on the search for Jennifer Kesse:


(http://jenniferkesse.com/images/jennifer.jpg)

http://jenniferkesse.com/

Jenn, as family and friends know her, was reported missing when she failed to show up for work on the morning of Tuesday January 24th, 2006. For those of us close to Jenn, we knew something must be wrong. If she was going to be late for work or a meeting she would call. In fact Jenn had good routines she and Rob, her boyfriend called each other everyday while driving to work in the morning and would speak with each other every night before going to bed. On the night of Monday January 23rd, she talked to my husband and I, later with some friends and she and Rob talked by phone as usual and that was the last anyone has heard from Jenn.

She and Rob did not talk the morning of Tuesday January 24th. Rob called Jenn at work and was told she had not arrived yet. When she did not show up for work, her employer immediately called us to see if we knew where Jenn was, we tried to reach her at the condo and on her cell phone and were unsuccessful. We left our home and after arriving at her condo, and not finding her at home, immediately notified the police.

On Thursday Morning the 26th, police found Jennifer's car abandoned in an apartment complex not far from where she lived.

Jennifer is a strong, fun loving, career minded and responsible young lady if she was running late to work she would have called which is why we all became concerned immediately. At no time had Jennifer shown signs of discontent with her life, relationships or work environment.

As I am sure you all can appreciate, this has been an extremely stressful two weeks. We would encourage you to visit the various media websites their coverage has been detailed and accurate.

The Orlando Police Department and all of the other agencies involved have been extremely professional, keeping us posted on a regular basis. We know they are doing everything in their power to help bring Jenn home safely.

Please keep Jenn in your prayers and visit her website for updates. Please think about everyone you know if you believe someone you know or suspect someone you may know might be involved, please call Crimeline immediately and share that information it may be nothing or it may be the missing piece of information that will help bring Jenn home safely. Thanks again to everyone for interest, assistance and support.

Joyce & Drew

That is part of the problem, milk dries with a residue. I tried to rinse it out and let it dry but it still didn't work. I may have rushed into using it again afterwards... and shorted out those keys.

Anyone familiar with the Fort Myers Eight?  I wasn’t until I came across the story on MSNBC.com and did a little research?  It is a very interesting situation, but it has not received much attention from MSM.

In March a land surveyor discovered a human skull in a wooded area near Fort Myers, FL and alerted the authorities.  A search recovered the skeletal remains of eight men scattered about.  Several theories have been bouncing around, but the most dominant one is that it was a dumping ground for a serial killer.

Fort Myers police are turning to the public for help identifying eight adult men whose skeletal remains were found this spring in a wooded area on the east side of the city.

Authorities said they still don’t know how the men died, but they described healed injuries and dental work the men are thought to have had in life. The men, who likely died between 1980 and 2000, were identified as follows:


Individual 1: A white man in his late 20s to early 40s. Between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. In life, he was injured in both calves and ankles; had healed fractures to his ribs and chest. Was in the worst shape dentally, authorities say; he was the only one without current dental care. Had large, unfilled cavities that were probably painful and had bone loss.

Individual 2: A white male between 20 and 39. Between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall. Has a well-healed fracture in his right calf. No wisdom teeth, four pre-molars extracted. Dental work current at the time of death.

Individual 3: A white male in his 20s or 30s. Current dental work, no unfilled decay.

Individual 4: A white male in his 20s or 30s. Has all four wisdom teeth.

Individual 5: A white male between 18 and 26. Between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall. Current dental work, no fillings that were retrieved. Has three out of four wisdom teeth.

Individual 6: A white male in his late 20s to early 40s. Between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall. May have complained of back and hip pain. Has all four wisdom teeth.

Individual 7: A white male, also possibly of Hispanic lineage, in his 20s or 30s. Between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 3 inches tall. Had a fracture in his right wrist or forearm. Dental work current, no unfilled decay, but there was decay visible on X-rays. Authorities say he might not have known about it.

Individual 8: A white male in his 20s or 30s. Between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet tall. Had well-developed muscle on his collar bones, upper arms and chest — possibly an athlete or held a job or had habitual behavior that involved heavy lifting. Dental work current, no unfilled decay. Silver fillings on posterior teeth; has all four wisdom teeth.


Hey I talked about that a couple of weeks ago... was watching a Dateline show and saw something about it...

the murders happened they said between 1980 and 2000... and they said they weren't homeless men, because of the condition of the teeth.

FIREANTS!!!  FIREANTS!!!  FIREANTS!!!



I fed my pups some stew beef outside and they didn't eat all of it so I was picking it up because there were ants on it.  They attacked me, ran up my hand and arm and I have about eight bites.

Am allergic to them and each bite makes a painful blister and continues to sting like still being bitten.  Two would not turn loose even after I killed them by smushing them.  The bites on my hand are localizing and very painful so I can't type much today. 

Am taking meds but in this drought, I forgot things are desperate for food and water like that!

OUCH!!!

BlueKY,
Congrats on a girl!

I ordered a girl.  Three times.  I was reading a book on how to chose your baby's sex when I found out I was expecting the third one so just gave up.

All three times, my order was not filled correctly!  You can do crafts with a daughter!  How wonderful for you to have a baby daughter! 

Hope you are getting more rest.  Just refuse to do things when you are tired or that make you nervous as it is not good for the baby for you to be exhausted or annoyed.  Your chemicals are her chemicals and she may sense emotional state as well.  Just stand your ground and tell people to BACK OFF!

The rest of your pregnancy only YOU should be in charge of what you do or do not do.  Tell them I said so!!!

Thanks, Angie!  Hope your arm and hand are doing better, too!

I have a keyboard that is supposed to be waterproof.  It is made by Kensington.  But like the one Klaas has, the letters are wearing off.  On the liquids, so far, so good.  Supposedly if I did spill something sticky, I could rinse off without hurting it.

O/T for those keeping track...

It's a girl!

I'm going to Google the Fort Myers Eight--that is bizarre. I can't get over the leg thing, either.

Hey Bunny ears.. hope the arm is doing better...

Anna
Ouch.. and if the meds do not work... try some looking up some of the folklore cures. I know you Know tons more than me when it comes to meds... but somethings/problems have been around a lot longer than modern Meds.
I do hope you get some relief from the pain / discomfort soon

Angie, dont be depressed!!!

It will get better.  Remember it took San's arm forever to heal.  Yours will, too, but may take a while.

I am sorry you are feeling depressed.  I don't feel depressed but do feel tired and the heat and drought are making me have asthma attacks all the time lately.  I hate when that happens.  Makes my chest sore for a long time.

Post by: BlueKYGirl on August 14, 2007, 11:19:21 PM
BlueKY,
Congrats on a girl!

I ordered a girl.  Three times.  I was reading a book on how to chose your baby's sex when I found out I was expecting the third one so just gave up.

All three times, my order was not filled correctly!  You can do crafts with a daughter!  How wonderful for you to have a baby daughter! 

Hope you are getting more rest.  Just refuse to do things when you are tired or that make you nervous as it is not good for the baby for you to be exhausted or annoyed.  Your chemicals are her chemicals and she may sense emotional state as well.  Just stand your ground and tell people to BACK OFF!

The rest of your pregnancy only YOU should be in charge of what you do or do not do.  Tell them I said so!!!



It's funny, Anna--I thought I was having a boy, and I was all geared up to do boy things (even though I'm obviously much more adept at craft projects, dress up, and tea). Now that it's definitely a girl I am all geared up for precious little outfits and mother/daughter bonding. It's amazing what a difference it makes to know just a little bit more about who my child is!

I am going to quote you on what you said about taking it easy, Anna. Our guest room (or, as I like to call it, the B&B) is officially closed to the public now and will soon become a nursery. Tomorrow I'm going home to KY to let my parents pamper me for a few days. Thank you so much for the good wishes!

  I dont like feeling depressed Anna, trust me. Hubby is still off of work from his surgery.... dunno when he will get back to work yet.. he is still healing up. I been stressed..  heat here too stinks. I wish I could have sent you some of our rain we have had lately.  Sorry you are having asthma attacks. My mom has asthma.. and hers has been acting up alot lately as well.

JMO... but I do hope you have seen more that one Doctor.
Have the figured out whether it is a circulation or nerve thing.?

I am seeing some one tomorrow because two weeks ago my left arm was asleep most of the day..or felt like I had a "stinger"  and yet at times felt like Hulk Hogan was trying to squeeze an Orange for all the juice it had...  It comes and goes.. but we think we know what the problem is now.

Blue KY,

Those are not wishes but ORDERS!  From now on that little girl should be bathed in positive chemicals from a hap, hap, happy mom!  You have every right to act in the best interest of your child!

Good deal on closing the guest room, too.  I would love to do a nursery.  My friend did one at her house for her grand child in pandas, was too cute.  And another has colors spring green and raspberry, just gorgeous.

Yes ma'am--I will take your orders to be positively giddy for the rest of this pregnancy (it's so easy now--I haven't stopped smiling since I learned the news--or since my company left, for that matter).

Spring green and raspberry--I love that idea! It's a little different from the standard pastel pink (which I love, too). I was thinking of doing the walls green anyway--a deeper pink could be the perfect complement.

Angie, I hope you feel better soon and that your spirits will be lifted, too.

BlueKY,
Talk and sing to her and play classical music softly for her to hear.  Then find some red socks to put on her hands so she finds them real fast when she is at the age for that.

I can still remember my huge firstborn would wake up every time I smelled food as in a restaurant and start kicking so badly I could hardly eat!  I do think some how he knew there was food about but guess it could have been noise or sounds associated with a restaurant.

Oh, my baby and I read sometimes, and I tell her what I'm doing and what's going on in the outside world. She's a real mover and shaker, too. I happen to love '60s R&B, and my baby loves to dance to "Two Lovers" by Mary Wells.

I can narrow it down to about 10 but the challenge is I don't know the M.O... I have a 56k and it takes forever.

No but I will... the map just took too long with Appleworks and my brain got Fibro Fogged (a term those who have Fibromyalgia use where the brain gets fogged, for a lack of a better term.)

So If I set up a photoshop place how will you get time and not everyone else? I may know the answer to this but can't remember at the moment

There is a place to check to make it public and one to make it password only.  You want to make it require a password, IBE.  They no one can see it but you or someone with your sign in information.

Beware emails about greeting cards!  Don't go there if you do not know the person who sent it as it seems to be a trap for a virus or something bad to get on your computer.

IBE - it will be faster for you to put those 10 in photobucket then just send me the link.  I can copy the photos that way and it will be alot faster for you.

The link I need from photobucket in the email is the one without the IMG tags.  The one photobucket calls the URL tag.

I keep getting emails that somebody has sent me a greeting card then if I click on the link, my virus software goes crazy!

Beware emails about greeting cards!  Don't go there if you do not know the person who sent it as it seems to be a trap for a virus or something bad to get on your computer.

Anna, I posted that a few weeks ago...and I am still getting them...my email provider is finding most and sending to a spam folder, but it's still alarming.  They look legitimate, but some greeting websites have announcements that warn against opening them.

2NJ,
Yes I remember you posting that but then I wasn't getting them.  And now I am.  Today I got one thanking ME for sending THEM a greeting card.  New approach I guess.

But I am glad I read your post as it told me to proceed with extreme caution which I did.

TUPELO, Mississippi, Aug. 15, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AP) A monkey that freed himself two weeks ago from a Mississippi zoo has escaped again, zoo officials said. Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo Manager Kirk Nemecheck and other employees noticed the white-faced capuchin's cage open and lock on the ground around 8:30 a.m. Monday.

Oliver and another capuchin named Baby were found wandering nearby. Workers easily captured Baby, but Oliver fled the park headed in the direction of the Tupelo Country Club, Nemecheck said.

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly
the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.

The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly ex haust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind."

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, "Lord, I
wish that I and all men could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside , what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a Woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge? :lol:

Exploding Lawn Mower Destroys Ga. Home
 
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) -- Danny Fendley started more than just his lawn mower when he tugged at its pull cord - he started a fire that destroyed his home.

The mower exploded Tuesday in hot, parched conditions.

Fendley was trying to start the mower in the garage of his two-story brick home in this Atlanta suburb when the machine burst into flames. Before he could extinguish the fire, it had spread through the garage.

Then his wife tried to toss a can of gasoline out a window as the blaze spread, but she missed, spreading the fuel "everywhere," Fendley said.

The flames engulfed the house in less than a minute. The couple escaped without serious injury.

I had a serious problem with some adware/spyware at work recently and we have a pretty good security system in place.  Not sure where I picked it up, but it was invasive and would reset some of the privacy controls.  I think it was named mgrs.exe.  I did a search for it and found this geek forum discussing it and various spyware programs.  One guy really bragged on the shareware version of SUPERAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/), so I gave it a try.  It found things that all the others left alone.

This computer has never run as smooth and I am glad I got rid of the stuff before I had to call for tech support.

Good Morning Monks!  I know as usual I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy behind...but wanted to thank Easy for posting the above....I downloaded it and it worked great....and found something my other spywae didn't...Thanks Easy!!

I would like to know, because I am a nosey monkey.  That said, shouldn't it be discussed over in Monkey Musings, instead of Natalee Holloway thread?  Course, Klaas should be judge of that...Unless Auntiem can't post for some reason that has directly to do with the case, imo.

I see what you mean Klaas.  I'm not you, but I don't see anything there that I would find as a poster , offensive.  As you said one time: "we're all adults here".  Auntiem isn't saying anything worse than some of the posts I saw last night after Ramm posted some stuff, and I think those posters are still around.  Do we have a banned list that all can see?  Sort of like putting a poster in the stocks.  lol

Nobody has been banned in the forum by me.  Not prior to this new forum nor in the old forum.  There have been people who have tried to join unsuccessfully, but none have been banned after joining.

Historic heat wave to continue through at least Thursday before
a slight break...

The ongoing heat wave will persist through the weekend... with a
minor reprieve over the weekend. Triple digit high temperatures
are anticipated through Thursday... but may drop back into the
upper 90s by Friday. Slightly cooler and drier air will filter in
from Canadian high pressure situated across the eastern United
States.

There is some positive news that is limiting the severity of the
heat wave. Overnight lows will be somewhat cooler the next few
nights. The heat index will be less of a factor due to lower
afternoon humidity.

However... heat stress remains high day to day in such a persistent
string of hot temperatures. Continue to protect yourself against
the heat by limiting outdoor activities when possible. Slow down
if you must be outside... and take frequent breaks while drinking
plenty of water. Be aware of signs of heat exhaustion... and if you
feel any symptoms... stop immediately and seek medical attention if
symptoms are not relieved by a short break. Also remember to
provide extra water and a shady place for pets.

Stay tuned to further updates on the heat wave from the National
Weather Service in Huntsville.


 Record Report 
Statement as of 04:51 am CDT on August 15, 2007


... Record high temperature set at Birmingham...

a record high temperature of 104 degrees was set at Birmingham
yesterday. This breaks the old record of 101 set in 1995.

So I opened paint   started the clip playing  and hit prt-screen when the part played.
Then to paint and did a paste...

We will get a ticket and fine if caught watering lawns, etc. and there is a surcharge on water bill if you use over a certain amount in some water districts.  People are having to haul water for livestock who are not on any commercial system so my ferns and stuff are just dying.

I don't know the answer to that one.  They are doing construction work beside the interstate and the dirt being stirred up has caused a cloud you can barely see through.  I see it is worse where you are at.  It is suppose to break here tomorrow night.  Maybe it is on it way down to you too.

OF,
I am joking that it is going to spontaneously combust but am terrified of any fire at this point as thousands of acres are tinder box dry.  At this elevation with no real rain since around Easter, you can understand the concern.  Lighting is also a possible source for disaster. 

This excessive heat was not expected on top of the drought.  Having hay and sweet feed and oats delivered for the horses as there is no grass left for them.  Dust clouds everywhere in a region that should be dense with lush green vegetation.

It's a shame there isn't some way to save the rinse water from your washing machine to water at least a few plants. I know it isn't going to help the lawns.  :roll:  So I guess it's hardly worth the effort.  I hope y'all get a break soon.

Anna,

Just heard this on our local TV, a field fire happened this morning by a train on the tracks-sparks from the train caused the fire.  So it doesn't take much to spark a fire with grass as dry as it is.

That is so scarey.  In times like these, it's good to keep an emergency bag nearby in case you have to get out.  You should have medicines you might need and such.  We had a fire not far from my home last year.  It was just so dry, we lost many acres.  My son and I were prepared to leave with our dogs, and I had small wire boxes for the cockatiel and parakeet in case we had to flee.  Keep close eye on the news, and please be safe.

They interviewed a woman who lived in a house by the tracks and she did have to leave her home until they got it under control.  You are right, keep a bag near by in case you have to leave your home.  It is 102 degrees here and it is 6:15 in the evening.  Unheard of.  It is scary.

Klaas
I am moving this over from the other thread. I think it got lost in all of Ramms posts.

I know that in one part Joran's book, he says that Freddy is mistaken about when he told him the beach story. But in the following quote, isn't he admitting that he told this to Freddy on the 30 th. Or am I reading it wrong.

Carlo asks several times why Freddy thinks that Joran left his shoes
behind.
Freddy answers: Joran did not want to walk with his shoes on the beach
and probably left them behind because of that.
Freddy tells the beachstory again that I would have told him on Monday May 30. Carlo in between asks questions all the time.
Freddy: I felt he asked me those things because he thought that me as a
good friend of Joran could understand why he had done these things. I
do not believe he asked those questions because he thought Joran would
have told me, because he repeated every time: Why do you think that?
My father does not ask Freddy anything, but he does react on Freddy's
answers to my mother. He says: why does Joran lie.

I don't think I could take all my dogs in the car with me at the same time and I won't leave them.  Just hope there is no need.  We used to have one of the highest water tables in the country.  No more, I am afraid.

My washer does empty far out in a pasture so at least there is a small area of greenery for the horses.

BlueMoon,
Yes I am starting to think of all the ways a fire could start and it is very scary.  Lightening is always a biggie in starting them not that there is any danger of us ever having rain.  We have had lightening without a drop of rain falling this summer.

Trains, people throwing cigarettes out of car windows, all sorts of ways fires get started.  And it is almost impossible to fight fire uphill I am told as it spread up to sixteen times faster.

Wisconsin Optometrist Charged in 'Twisted Made-for-TV Movie' Murder
Wednesday, August 15, 2007





A suburban Milwaukee optometrist has been charged in Minnesota with murdering a woman who apparently left him at the altar in Las Vegas.

Prosecutors allege in a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court that Dean Barrette tracked the woman down in a Minnesota hotel room last week and shot her in the head.

Authorities said the 44-year-old Cudahy, Wis., optometrist then returned to Wisconsin, cut the grass at the home he shared with his mother and left for an extended stay at a suburban motel.

The body of Alison Daniels, 24, was found at the Radisson University Hotel in Minneapolis on Aug. 6. Police said Daniels was an online escort from East Lansing, Mich.

"This is one twisted made-for-TV movie," Cudahy Detective Glen Haase said.

Court documents allege Barrette gave Daniels $4,000 to enter into a "sham marriage," but Daniels left Barrette behind in Las Vegas after receiving the money.

Barrette was in the Milwaukee County Jail on Wednesday and fighting extradition to Minnesota. A message left for the lawyer listed for him in court records was not immediately returned Wednesday.

The complaint did not say why the pair were meeting in Minneapolis nor what connection, if any, either had to the city. It also gave no indication why Barrette and Daniels planned a sham marriage.

The criminal complaint said Barrette booked two rooms at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas on July 24. A witness reported seeing Barrette give Daniels an envelope of money there in exchange for her entering into a "sham marriage."

The ceremony was scheduled for that day, but the bride and groom never showed up, according to the complaint. The witness "left Las Vegas with Daniels, knowing Daniels didn't make good on the wedding — essentially stealing Barrette's money," the complaint said.

Another witness told investigators he got a telephone call from Daniels shortly before she died. She said she was at a Minneapolis hotel with the man from "that situation in Las Vegas" and that he had a gun to her head.

Daniels asked the witness to send her $4,000, but he hung up on her because he thought she might be trying to steal from him.

At about 6:30 p.m., about 2 1/2 hours later, police responded to Daniels' room and found signs of a struggle, including large chunks of blond hair like Daniels' and a broken cell phone. The complaint does not indicate what prompted police to go to the room.

Daniels' uncle and godfather, Gary Schafer of Charlevoix, Mich., said he couldn't believe his niece was a professional escort.

"I certainly had people come up to me during the funeral who said they had Alison go to church with them and had received the Lord, things like that," he said.

Daniels became a beautician after graduating from Haslett High School near Lansing in 2000, Schafer said. She was a studying for a new career as an ultrasound technician when she died, he said.

"She loved helping people and she loved being around people," he said.

Breaking news report :

Quakes rock Peruvian capital

Article from: NEWS.com.au..By Reuters and staff writers..August 16, 2007 11:12am

TWO powerful earthquakes within minutes of each other struck Peru today shaking buildings in its Pacific coast capital and cutting power in some areas.

A tsunami warning was issued for Ecuador, Chile and Colombia , said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii.

The first quake, with a magnitude of 7.7, hit about 30km west of Chincha Alta, at a shallow 18km from the earth's surface, the US Geological Survey said.

It said the second had a magnitude of 7.5.

Workers ran into the streets in fear as office buildings in Lima shook in at least two different bouts that lasted around 20 seconds each, witnesses said.

Authorities in Australia said there was no danger to the east coast here.

Geoscience Australia seismologist Clive Collins said although today's quake was large, it would have to have a magnitude in the high eights to travel across the Pacific.

Dear Anna,

After the 1994 Northridge earthquake in SoCal, I pondered how I could take my four cats with me if I needed to evacuate. I have three cat crates by the front door, along with a cat back pack with cat food, a small litter box, litter, packaged water. Now I have only two cats and I'm sure I can put them in one crate.

How many doggies do you have?

Love, Louise

This is to save their life...I had a cat that was terrified of being in a box or kennel  ( hyperventilated and etc.) and I used to slip him into a pillowcase when he needed to go to the vet.  He did well-didn't act like he did in a box.  Someone threw him out of car window when a kitten :sad:  So I don't know what else may have happened to him before that. :-x

MuffyBee, I've used the pillowcase and it works just fine.  In years past, we had a cardboard cat carrier that the vet gave us, but they just don't last forever (easy because of the top opening to place the cat)...the cat carrier we do own is small and when a cat is not used to them, she is too skittish...the pillowcase is less stressfull for the cat and me....We've even used a smaller dog carrier for the cats...just depends on where we have to go and who's going.

City On Lookout For Water Restriction Breakers
Lafayette, Franklin, Portland, Mount Pleasant Currently Conserving Waters
Reported By Cara Kumari

POSTED: 6:36 pm CDT August 15, 2007
UPDATED: 7:41 pm CDT August 15, 2007


MOUNT PLEASANT, Tenn. -- The heat wave and drought are big problems in middle Tennessee, and now they are having a strong impact on water supplies in several places. For that reason, towns are putting restrictions on the use of water.

Video: Water Restrictions In Place At Middle Tenn. Towns

Mount Pleasant, Tenn., is even going so far as to ask residents to turn in their neighbors if they see them breaking the rules.

Resident Adam Morton is not happy that he can only water his shrubs once a week. Because of this mandate, his lawn isn't looking so good.

"(It looks) just pitiful because it's so dry. It's hard to keep it alive because of the water shortage," said Morton.

The lack of rainfall has all of Mount Pleasant's water sources currently 2 feet lower than normal.

"I've been with the Mt. Pleasant Water Department for 31 years, and it's the worst I've ever seen it since I’ve been here," said Darrell Dean of the Mount Pleasant Water Department.

The city is taking some extreme measures. People can only water their lawns once a week and can't fill pools or wash cars. If someone sees a neighbor breaking the rules, the city wants to know about it.

"If neighbors see somebody doing something that's not in compliance, if they will let us know then that gives us a chance to go out and very nicely explain to them what the situation is," said Interim City Manager Debbie McMullin.

If the resident doesn't comply with the city’s restrictions, they will then shut off their water. Mount Pleasant officials said they have had to shut the water off to one person who wasn't following the rules.

These rules apply to everyone, both residents and businesses. Channel 4 News also spotted a car wash in Mount Pleasant that is closed except for Thursdays because of the water shortage.

The Maury County town is not alone in conserving water. Lafayette, Franklin and Portland also have water restrictions in effect.

Mount Pleasant said it gets a large part of its revenue from water sales, so the water restrictions are also hurting them as well.

Well, this sounds like a bit much but I can't muster any shred of sympathy for Vick and hope he continues to be the target of any number of problems.  I can't think of anybody more deserving at the moment.

It's a beautiful morning here despite record breaking heat for the last week.  Tomorrow we're supposed to be breezy up to 20mph.  I can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

I hope they find those miners too.  It's so sad that they can't locate them sooner.

Copper Thefts Could Lead To Power Outages
Power Surges Could Cause House Fires
Reported By Marc Stewart

POSTED: 9:20 am CDT August 16, 2007
UPDATED: 11:04 am CDT August 16, 2007


NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Copper thieves are hitting so many electric substations that it could be threatening to customers.

Video: Copper Thefts Could Create Customer Electric Problems

There's more of a demand not just for electricity but also for copper, and thieves are looking to make a quick cash while putting homes at risk.

The Nashville Electric Service tells Channel 4 that so many of their substations have been hit hard by copper thieves that customers could feel the heat.

"The copper is there for a reason. It's there to keep the electricity flowing properly," said Laurie Parker of NES.

There are two big potential problems. The first being random power outages because of system overload. The other concern is power surges.

"With the copper being gone, it can make the electricity coming into your home fluctuate, which could cause a surge in your house, damage your appliances. The worst-case scenario is it could start an electrical fire in your house,” said Parker.

There are more than 200 substations in the NES system. Whites Creek, White Bridge, Forest Hills, Wedgewood and Wharf Avenue all have been hit.

But NES officials suspect many others not on the list have been hit. Monitoring the problem takes time and money.

"At some point, if this becomes such a big expense for us replacing copper wiring, eventually that will have to trickle down to the customers," said Parker.

In fact, NES is still trying to come up with a price tag for the problem.

Twice, in just the last two weeks, NES had to shut down substations to make repairs, which meant customers had to do without power during the heat wave.

So naturally the electric company sends the guys to trim the trees off my power lines today so that I have to move all the dogs because the Scotties will prolly bite them, making noise with trimmers like that.   :smt083Don't want the others to escape.

I think I am having a heat stroke!  Going to lie down for a bit. :-|

Anna....I am North of you....the temp on the front porch is 103....the grass is crunchy...but so
short i do not think it could burn....the bushes at the front of the house have been here since the 40's (they tell me...lol) and they are turning brown...no rain due for another week and that is just a guess.  There are 80 foot pines near the house....I think they were planted originally as a windbreak....I am wondering how long they will last before they just lie down and die...!

I started a small sprinkler in between the bushes and move it every 45 min - 1 hour.  In 6 hours, I will be finished for today.

Temperature in small town Alabama is 104 at this moment.  Trees are dying around here and no one has any green grass anywhere.  The watering isn't doing much good and my Japanese Maples are probably not going to make it. 

I have never seen hedge wilted in my life...until now.  That stuff is almost indestructible around these parts. My dogwood is already gone.  Even the birds are begging at my bird bath each morning.

That's cruel, Klaas.

103 here now.  I took a nap and am guzzling orange juice but that tree trimming just about finished me off for today.

And I know other places are hotter.  In Memphis there are six dead from the heat.

Today is the anniversary of the death of Elvis and there are people there to commemorate even in that heat.  I liked the King and all but not that much.

There are lots of places hotter than it is here today but there are none drier as at this elevation, we have missed what little rain there has been.  It goes around us for some reason.

Robots had a signature about controlling the rain.  Maybe it's his fault.

OF,
I am joking that it is going to spontaneously combust but am terrified of any fire at this point as thousands of acres are tinder box dry.  At this elevation with no real rain since around Easter, you can understand the concern.  Lighting is also a possible source for disaster. 

This excessive heat was not expected on top of the drought.  Having hay and sweet feed and oats delivered for the horses as there is no grass left for them.  Dust clouds everywhere in a region that should be dense with lush green vegetation. 

maybe you might want to start thinking about trading those horses in on some nice camels  :smt045

Note the whole state almost is back in D-4 but some of us haven't been out of it since early spring.

Hay which normally sells for $20 a roll is $60 and reportedly $100 in parts of TN.

That's what I thought, Blah.  Fortunately, most have even more stored than you would, ha!  ha!  I just don't store as I have never had need before this year.  It is normally green year around with plenty, plenty, too much in fact and still has to be mowed even with four horses.

This is just unusual but there is still some hay being harvested locally, very yellow looking and small rolls.  Places where nothing is grazing.

Southeast Heat Wave Blamed for Deaths, Fires
Thursday , August 16, 2007

The American South sizzled beneath a relentless sun for a sixth straight day. Officials in Memphis said two more people had died of the heat, raising the city's death toll to seven in a little more than a week.

Much of the Southeast was under a heat advisory as temperatures topped 100 degrees (38 Celsius) for the 10th consecutive day in places, fueling brush fires and increasing the number of people seeking medical help. The high of 105 (40.6 Celsius) in St. Louis broke a 71-year-old record.

It was just as hot in Memphis on Wednesday. Hospital workers passed out free bottles of water to thousands of Elvis Presley fans who filled Graceland's tourism complex Wednesday to mark the 30th anniversary of his death.

One fan, a 67-year-old woman from New Jersey, was found dead inside a tent at a campground near Graceland. She had chronic health problems, but the medical examiner's office said heat was an element in her death.

Temperatures in Memphis were forecast to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) at least through Friday, according to the National Weather Service. A 32-year-old man was found dead outside his apartment, which had no air conditioning, officials said.

"Unfortunately, many of these deaths have been in areas that are considered unsafe, poorer areas of town where people don't have air conditioning, but they're too afraid to open their windows," Shelby County Medical Examiner Karen E. Chancellor said.

Also Wednesday, a man died of what appeared to be heatstroke while preparing for a county fair east of Nashville.

In St. Louis, two more heat-related deaths brought the city's heat wave toll to five, and Mayor Francis Slay urged citizens to check on relatives, friends and neighbors to ensure their safety.

In Alabama, State Health Officer Dr. Don Williamson said the heat wave is the worst in the state since 1980, when temperature soared for weeks, killing 125 people.

This year's temperatures are similar, but the death count is down dramatically, Wilson said. So far only one death in the state has been described as "possibly heat related."

A lot of the ones who died were in brick buildings, some in housing projects, too, and once the bricks got so hot, they didn't cool off even at night.  Like being in a brick oven.  But I am relieved that we are doing so much better this time with death toll.

Of course, this isn't over yet.  I did take IBE's advice and wet chamois strips and froze in the freezer.  They helped but didn't last long as I wish.

I am just south of you and get Nashville weather on Google for some reason some of the time and it was 107 degrees today. 

Yes, I am over here griping like anything about having to get out in this heat.

But I do hope the people whose house Robots was jacking up asked that he do that. 

But who knows?  And he hasn't been around much lately either.

IT'S HOT!!! :smt095

Went by the bank about 2 hours ago and their "temp sign" said 103*. The heat index would HAVE to be at least 105. Geographically, this area is classified as "humid sub-tropic" and for good reason.
My friend, John, lived in California while in the Air Force, and he said when he moved back, he felt like he was trying to breath water.

In Alabama, State Health Officer Dr. Don Williamson said the heat wave is the worst in the state since 1980, when temperature soared for weeks, killing 125 people.

A lot of the ones who died were in brick buildings, some in housing projects, too, and once the bricks got so hot, they didn't cool off even at night.  Like being in a brick oven.  But I am relieved that we are doing so much better this time with death toll.

Of course, this isn't over yet.  I did take IBE's advice and wet chamois strips and froze in the freezer.  They helped but didn't last long as I wish.

Thought for a minute there you were trying to tell ME how to make homebrew, lol.

That is funny but I would betcha it works!  I freeze big bottles of water for the dog's water.  They have A/C in all their rooms but for some reason just must go outside no matter how hot so they have wading pools and I put frozen gallon of water in those to keep them really cool most of the day.

Farmers are selling off their cattle here because they don't have the grass for them to graze on.  Tuesday is the only day for cattle sales and they lined up all day long and sold 2000 head of cattle and had to send lots of farmers away to come back next week and try again.    We have broken our old record set in 1918.  It has not been this bad since the early 1900's But I am still going to water my plants.

The local papers here said to report your neighbors if they were watering the grass, washing cars, etc.  Sorry, folks, guess I'm going to have to turn all of you in, lol.

Just kidding.  I wouldn't even turn in my neighbors either. 

I have to live with these people and I don't even know the ones on the water board.  Are they nuts or what!

This is why I think this may be Robots fault.  He has this in his signature:

The rain ...falls upon the just and the unjust alike;  which would not happen if I were superintending the rain's affairs. No, I would rain softly and sweetly on the just, but if I caught a sample of the unjust outdoors I would drown him. - Mark Twain


Sounds to me like he has been messing with the rain!

That's cruel, Klaas.

103 here now.  I took a nap and am guzzling orange juice but that tree trimming just about finished me off for today.

And I know other places are hotter.  In Memphis there are six dead from the heat.

Today is the anniversary of the death of Elvis and there are people there to commemorate even in that heat.  I liked the King and all but not that much.

There are lots of places hotter than it is here today but there are none drier as at this elevation, we have missed what little rain there has been.  It goes around us for some reason.

Robots had a signature about controlling the rain.  Maybe it's his fault.

Well off I go to let the man in to deliver the stuff for the horses and check their water, etc.

It's a balmy 103 so should be pleasant enough.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  And to think I got these horses to eat the grass down so it wouldn't have to be mowed so much.  Ha!  What grass?

Blah,

If I didn't know better, I would think you were trying to get me and Robots to fight.  Again!  We are on to YOU!

O/T of the heat and the drought which may or may not be Robots related, there are some crows that live here that are absolutely HUGE.  Like as tall as up to a little higher than my knees when they walk on the ground.

Can that be normal for crows to be that large?  They are totally black, black, black and otherwise look like regular crows except for being just absolutely huge.

Maybe I should call Art Bell, lol, lol, lol!

O/T

I've had a horrible day.  Went to get my stitches out but the Dr wanted to wait.  So now I have to go back again tomorrow.

Then I come home to find that a friend has died of an alcohol & anti- anxiety medication overdose.  We grew up together grades 4-12.  She and another friend and I told everyone we were triplets.  Same mom different Dad.  Hee Hee.  Seriously the 3 of us looked so much alike and were always together people thought we were triplets.  RIP my friend and sister, Linda.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.  This whole summer has been so hard for you!  Maybe that's why the dr wanted to leave the stitches you may not be healing well because of all the other stuff you have had going one.

And now this!  I truly am sorry and hope things get better for you soon.  And the heat makes every thing worse, too.

Anna,
Thanks for directing me to the correct place for chit chat..

Sorry Klass, got off topic over there.  It's not me, it's this HEAT....

Hi TNMOM :)  We're all still adjusting where to post too.  Sometimes I forget where I am when I post too.  :2doh:
 Come here and muse with us    :smt024 or join us in chat.  :smt045

The Chat moves so fast I can't keep up sometimes.  Because I come and read then off to do something and back again.

I will try again someday soon.

It is nice to know the heat is not just around me, sometimes it gets too ya.  I have a new house with new yard.  It was pretty green in May, it looks like a desert right now.  I too have been watering my landscaping twice a week, but I feel like everyday the plants are saying water  -w-a-t-e-r. 


I understand about the cattle sales, I have a friend that dug a pond, put fence on 10 acres and then went out and bought 20 cows in the spring, he's watching the money fly out the window everyday.  His pond is dry, so he has to provide tap water, the field is dead, he's buying hay and the price of it has doubled.  He's tempted to sell and try again next year, but still holding on...

Hope everyone stays cool or at least comfortable.  Going out to see what plants died today

the first thing that comes to mind is what in the heck does he do with all of the crap?????

He cant possibly be spreading it on 10 acres and still have room for grazing.

I couldn't help it, I called him.  He said standard here is 3 per acre, and that 7 arew calfs.  That's what the old farmers tell him.  So I don't know.  He only fenced the 10 acre lot, but said his plans to fence another 10 or so were for spring.  But he may sell before then.  He has a total of 270 acres but started with the 10 this spring for cows.
He was defensive.  So I better not talk about his cows anymore.


And what a huge guy that must be to have a head that big.

No, don't worry about it.  I know what you mean and it is obvious.

Everyone is being too hard on themselves about posting in the Musing thread which should be very relaxed and lenient.

And your friend will find out that hard way but he should talk to somebody else about acres versus number of grazing.  Like maybe the County Agent.

Opus thinks she knows who the guy is that is looking up at Natalee in the CnC bar photo.  Opus thinks that certain posters from So Cal are protecting this person.  Opus also claims that the person looking up at Natalee is a waiter in Aruba and is somehow involved with Posner and Brough.

Caldeb (klaasend) simply asked Opus if she can't post the persons name that I hoped she had sent her information to Natalee's family or the FBI.

For the record, I have no idea who that person is sitting at the bar looking up at Natalee is. I also have absolutely zero connections to Posner, Brough or anyone else involved with this case including Natalee's family.

BREAKING NEWS

Ambulances Called to Crandall Canyon Mine

August 16th, 2007 @ 7:52pm
(KSL News) There's been a flurry of activity at the Crandall Canyon mine tonight. Early reports from NBC Network News suggest that four rescue miners have been injured.

The situation seems to have started at about 7:20 this evening. The Emery County sheriff was seen driving quickly up the road, followed by ambulance. Another ambulance followed and a helicopter also appeared to have landed at the site.

Just minutes later an ambulance came back down. One ambulance left the scene with a person inside performing chest compressions on someone.

Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon declined to comment. We'll keep you updated as details become available.

The man, from Haaksbergen, near Utrecht in the Netherlands, was reported to police after a farmer caught him having sex with a sheep.

But the case was thrown out of court as the sheep couldn't take to the stand to testify that it didn't want to have sex and had suffered emotional stress.

Under Dutch law, bestiality is not a crime unless it can be proved the animal didn't want to have sex.

"Short of putting the sheep in the dock, at the moment these perverts cannot be prosecuted," animal rights campaigner Jos van Huisen said.

It will take me on a 56 k a "small" amt of time to upload :roll: Not!

Monkeys, Keep up the Good Works!!!

Idea... maybe we should have a candle light vigil in front of the LAPD hdqt that covers the Palms area???? Too bad he didn't live 2 blocks south Culver City PD is sure different.. and a town of about 40,000 with a lot of "mid-western" values.

Not that LAPD doesn't have them or Orange County Sheriff's, all of these LE are very, very dedicated and work long, long hours.

 I just mean... in LA  people get killed and go missing every day.. some aren't even reported because they are here illegally and then you have the between gang killings and the black on black and just crime....  How sad for all

Darn.. I have to stop before I cry. The miner stuff is getting to me.

PS... all the pictures I will post in the 4 areas of interest on Donna Jou are strictly, areas of my own opinion and are in "plain view" mostly...I posted that on the chat... Where have we heard that before??? Love to all, IBE

Oh shoot, on CNN they just said there is a rumor that one miner died!

Thank you Klaas, but I just was first just interested for I knew the area where he last lived,  then got frustrated and angry when I heard them say they (LAPD) wouldn't let TES come here, even not in t-shirts and without media

Don't want this to become another Natalee Holloway challenge because of egos, ole boys network, or whatever is causing this.

I have found a great place for TES;s HQ if they come and it is not in LA!!! has big parking lot, community room, larger hall, kitchen patio and bar (if needed :lol: :lol:), motel next door  :smt052 and an Irish Pub across the street. How much could you want except an alive Donna Jou???  :smt052

10 rescue workers injured in Utah mine.  Several taken to hospital, I think 7 so far, one critical, two serious, etc.   Doesn't sound good at all.

Those workers have to be exhausted.  I wonder if they could bring in workers from outside to relieve them or if they would have to know the mine and the equipment to really be of help.

Very O/T.. 30 yrs. ago (Gads) I was a teacher on a series called "How the West Was Won" (Jim Arness) we spent, 30 yrs ago today did several weeks in Aug. on location in Kanab, Utah. Love the people and the nature.

Bragging... the older teenager I mentored as part of the American Legion Auxiliary, about 2 yrs. ago was very depressed and dressed in Gothic.. she joined the Mormon church and this weeks leaves for Salt Lake City to go to a college in nursing training and then tranf, in 2 yrs. to BYU. Earlier this summer she had changed her mind and wanted to be a sound engineer. Did intern this summer and is now back to nursing.

Her younger sister who I also mentored is like a daughter to me and lives here in the complex.

I just thought with all the miners now in Utah you could use some good news.

Rescue Worker Killed, Others Injured at Utah Mine
August 16th, 2007 @ 8:51pm

AP/KSL) -- A disastrous cave-in Thursday night killed a rescue worker and injured at least eight others who were trying to tunnel through rubble to reach six trapped miners, authorities said.

"All rescue workers have been evacuated from the mine. Nine rescue workers were injured in the accident. One of those suffered fatal injuries," said Dirk Fillpot, a spokesman for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.

Lady ... something was her name.
There is something a miner can wear it said on CNN and was being used by miners in Poland when they were able to find one.

Photobucket was freezing at the same time so didn't hear it all.. I think they said I law need to be done to make them wear it here.

Anna... I never thought of it that way..

On the mine... I hope my gut level is wrong, but IMO I think the chances are high they won't let the rescue miners back in... I think it's up to some govt. agency. Let's pray I am wrong.

You are right... earthquakes, mines, fires, no rain, missing adults and children... I need to regroup my stuff re: earthquake survival materials here.. have been very lax on those since moving into the tuna can.

It just said on CNN that some rescue miners done out the other rescue miners

Also they have a capsule, for lack of a better word, that they can use from above to lower down.. again photobucket was freezing so may have not heard it correctly

The Valley medical emerg. where they were flown into is the school/med. in Provo that my "older" mentored young girl is going to and then transferring into BYU later.. I think I said Salt Lake and it should have been Provo.

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello.

He’s rather taken aback because he can’t place where he knows her from. So, he says, “Do you know me?” To which she replies, “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.”

Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, “My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table, with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???”

She looks in to his eyes and says calmly, “No, I’m your son’s teacher.”

Very O/T.. 30 yrs. ago (Gads) I was a teacher on a series called "How the West Was Won" (Jim Arness) we spent, 30 yrs ago today did several weeks in Aug. on location in Kanab, Utah. Love the people and the nature.

That is cool, IBE! I remember watching that show with my parents!

You must really have some great stories to tell about filming. I'd love to hear them.

Morning monkeys.  Getting a break from the heat for now.  It began to rain ever so gently last night.  My DSL went out and the phone too. The satellite wouldn't behave, but I was so happy about the rain.  Phone company came first thing this morning and fixed the lines and now things are a cool 85 degrees at this moment.  I think I may actually be able to go outside for a change and not melt.  Heat will be back, but I am ever so thankful for the rain.

Klaas, why do I get a message about a PM every time I log in or change threads.  It's getting on my last nerve!  Should I email Dugga or is he just hiding behind the curtain and sees all?

That's because either San or one of the other mods tried to PM you and PM's only work for us right now.  There's probably a setting in your profile that will stop notification, want me to take a look?

Just listening to FOX...can you imagine having to tell the families of those miners that are trapped that you are going to stop trying to rescue them?  And then what if you are a miner down there?  You hold out hope that someone will come get you and finally...nothing.

Very early this morning on one of the news shows they did a segment on a guy that does dust art on car windows.  He said he typically knocks one out in about 1 ˝ hours.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  This link goes to a slide show that has pictures of some of his work.  Incredible stuff…..

Easy - So when you wash the car, the art goes away? (I saw the slide show, but don't have audio on, so I'm not sure what's the deal.) Does he do this for fun or profit?

Yeah, once it rains or the car is washed the art is gone.  The guy is a computer artist or something like that and does the dust art for fun.  It just amazed me he could get so much detail in such a short period of time.

I don't quite know where to put this, but wanted to draw attention to a series MSN.COM is doing on Missing Persons.

The link below is to Part 1. It includes a link to Part 2. No idea how many parts there will be. There are other related links. So far I haven't seen a mention of Natalee.

Part 1 is titled,
Missing People Face Disparity in Media Coverage
‘Sex sells, kidnapping sells, but not every kidnapping is equal’

Musing with the Monkeys..... :)

Some of my chat friends know that I am cleaning out boxes of papers....some from my
last move (that should have been done years ago) and some more recent that I tossed together when I found out at the last minute that company was coming...!

Anyhow, I found lots and lots of Scared Monkey papers....letters from monkeys that I no
longer remember and from some who are still here...every now and then I printed a page or two or twelve....!  Old Shango stuff....Klaasend telling me for the first time how to get rid of cookies...lol .  There is another whole box of this stuff....wish I had seen it when we had nothing for 2005....all of this is 2005.

See you all later.

I'm just the opposite, blah, but that's probably because I have the attention span of a gnat. I thought it was perfect to have lots of things mixed in together, because it kept everything interesting, and...well..."lively."  :lol:

The new format doesn't work for me at all. As someone said in chat the other day, the chatroom has become the new LCD. We still ramble from one topic to another in there, including a smattering of case discussion. If the threads have to be isolated the way they are now, then I appreciate Red and Dugga having the chatroom for those of us for whom that does not work.

probably why it seems to work better for me is that, I dont have time to read every day and have never really been able to read every post, maybe 20 - 30%.  So when I come in, the new format makes it alot easier for me to get caught up with the discussion without having to scroll through all of the chit chat.

Well, I'm a very fast reader - no joke.  :D

It always seemed to me that people fed ideas off each other by having the kind of interaction we had in the old LCD. It reminds me of the kinds of meetings we often have in our office. I suppose because we manage child care for almost 1,000 children, we tend to be a little silly ourselves sometimes. In our meetings, we always mix serious business with a fair amount of joking around. That works well for us, and the joking around seems to make us come up with better ideas during the serious business aspects of the meeting. Having a meeting that is all joking or a meeting that is all serious business wouldn't work for us. It's having the two things together that makes us a great work team.

I'm with you on the new format.  I can keep open a Musing tab and a Natalee or other tab I am reading and this way read only those threads I follow closely if that is all time allows.

I know we can scroll past posts on other things but we still have to download them and wait for that and read part to see if it is on topic or off and this way, chatter has its own thread and is working really well.

I feel free to post things in Musing that I would never in a Thread that is supposed to be about somebody's dead child!  And sorry, but yes I do think it inappropriate to mix that missing and likely deceased child in with trivial matters as though all are equal.

Well, I suppose that depends on one's intent. If one's intent is to trivialize Natalee by sometimes being lighthearted in a thread about her, then that would be wrong. However, if talking naturally to other posters the way that we talk with our friends and family helps spur some posters to think about the case more creatively, then I don't think that's disrespectul. In addition, I think Natalee would be proud to know that her case has brought together a diverse group of people who have formed a sort of family while discussing her case. And someone who knew Natalee told me that she had a wonderful sense of humor too.

However, if talking naturally to other posters the way that we talk with our friends and family helps spur some posters to think about the case more creatively, then I don't think that's disrespectful. In addition, I think Natalee would be proud to know that her case has brought together a diverse group of people who have formed a sort of family while discussing her case. And someone who knew Natalee told me that she had a wonderful sense of humor too.

BTgirl - part of the problem is that we will be approving many new members.  Some of the members really aren't joining for the NH case they are joining for other cases or other reasons. 

It is practically unheard of for any forum to have a thread like our old LCD was, in a Missing Persons case.  Like Blah said, too hard for those without alot of time to wade through all the off topic.

This thread can still be used as a "catch all" and "greeting area", just no serious case discussion on any case including the Natalee Holloway case.

Like you said, if you don't feel confortable posting in this Musing thread the chat room is always available and that's a good thing!

TCUMom,

No we are just too weak from the heat to type.

I wonder what Mitt has to do with the mine?

This new format seems to be working just great!  No problems that I can see.  None of us are authorized to speak for Natalee and I think she deserves the respect of her own thread.

It should also be so much easier for all the new monkeys entering the cage.  But seems to be working well.  I know some of you may miss the old format but think it would be good to give this one at least a fair try.

I just have two adult Scotties right now and one stays inside in his A/C all day and the female, Colleen, in the dense bamboo.  She won't stay inside where it is cool no matter what!

And yesterday the wood chipper the electric company brought scared Mr. MacDougal so badly he had to sit in my lap!  This after he is the worst to bark and carry on at strangers, etc. and he bit a girl one time.  Big chicken.

Blah,
I'm with you on the new format.  I can keep open a Musing tab and a Natalee or other tab I am reading and this way read only those threads I follow closely if that is all time allows.

I know we can scroll past posts on other things but we still have to download them and wait for that and read part to see if it is on topic or off and this way, chatter has its own thread and is working really well.

I feel free to post things in Musing that I would never in a Thread that is supposed to be about somebody's dead child!  And sorry, but yes I do think it inappropriate to mix that missing and likely deceased child in with trivial matters as though all are equal.

Just me, however.

Ours just goes nuts when she sees the deer and cows ~ barking like mad as if she's so tough....then, when it is thundering (if you remember what that is  :roll:), she practically does a vertical jump into our arms.   :lol:  Scotties are so sweet......very stubborn and standoffish if you're a stranger, though......

They are still drilling the 4th hole, and if they find signs of life they can send more air, food, water down to them.

I read an article this morning where someone commented that 'the mountain is collapsing in slow motion' :sad:

This is horrible -- and it just keeps getting worse.

My prayers are with the trapped miners and their families and loved ones -- and the entire mining community :sad:

I still wonder if they can't send in fresh crews to rescue the miners.  Those who have been at this for twelve days have to be exhausted.

Maybe they have to know the mine and equipment to be of real help, I just don't know but I do know it is just too sad for them to completely stop.

I am glad they are still drilling the 4th hole, Sharon.

At least it is doing something.  And it was good to hear there is water that is drinkable for they can last a long time with water.

Very close, Klaas. She's a miniature wire-haired dachshund. A total weiner dog alittle over a foot long, with a personality the size of a rottie!

Around the 4th of July when everyone was outside enjoying the summer (before it got so hot), one afternoon she ran out the front door and attacked a waist-high golden retreiver. Not viciously, just playfully. Thankfully, the retreiver was good natured and played back. That dog thinks she's really something, I tell ya. She's not afraid of anything.

And she hates garbage cans and garbage bags. I don't know what it is, but on trash day, she'll sit there at the door and bark her head off at the trash cans up and down the street. On trash day, we have to close the front door because she hates them so much.

Stupid dogs. That's why I'm a cat person. But I'll admit, she is darned cute.

Dugga - I have 2 Jack Russell terriers.  Both of them absolutely hate cleaning equipment.  They attack the vaccuum and the broom.  They also hate the garbage truck and especially the UPS driver. 

They are both getting older now, 12 and 11.  The older one has always, since a pup, barked at birds and helicopters.  So far he's made sure no helicopter has landed on our deck so he's doing his job! :lol:

We have a 20% chance for rain this evening.  It is raining in places all around but the sun is still shining here.  It is our only chance for about another week so wish us luck!

With all our technology, it would seem we could push some of the rain from Texas east just a few hundred miles and end this drought.

I thought the Air Force used to say they would control the weather by now.  Guess not.

I dont know what kind of feedback y'all have been getting since the new forum, but I would just like to say - I like the new format now that i'm getting over the re-learning curve.  I especially like the special thread for Natalee only and the Musing thread seperated the way they are.  I think it really works out great! (even though I just accidentally ended up in the Shango thread  :lol:)

Good Evening Monks! Blah, I agree....this is great. I have been really busy and not much computer time so it great to be able to go into the Natalee thread and not have to wade through  other things to get any news...then I can pop over to musings and see what happening there....I too found myself in S&S once...whew :shock:.....and I popped into chat one night and thought I'd been beamed into Peyton Place!  LOL.....I keep getting a message that I have one or more PM's...but if I click on it...a messages says I can't read my PM's...LOL...guess that a kink in progress!!

One page just loaded for me with no blue or gray backgrounds.  The background stayed white until I refreshed.  But the pages are loading fast.   

Everyone in the New Orleans area is totally freaking over Hurricane Dean.  We won’t know until Sunday night or Monday morning Dean’s real chances of coming this way, but already gasoline lines are very long, grocery stores are overcrowded, and some will be evacuating as early as tomorrow.  At the vulnerable stage we are at in the rebuilding process, if this storm hits here…many will give up and move away, for there possibly could be even more destruction and water than Katrina brought :(  At least, much of the progress that has been made will be reversed. 

I also am watching Dean head west, north of Aruba, and am wishing TES already had done their search.  I think the waters around Aruba will be stirred up quite a bit more than they have been since 2005---or was there another Category 4-5 that passed this close to Aruba since 2005?  I cannot remember.  The worst of Dean will not be affecting Aruba, but…

Good Morning Monkeys
Such sad new about the mine disaster.  I cannot imagine what the families are going through especially if they have to call off the search.  Such dangerous work.

Love the doggie pictures.  My dogs were a little larger  :lol: but just as big a chickens as any of them.  Males were the biggest softies, the females always a lot more independent. Oh I forgot - they were German Shepherds.

Also I received email today from my young friends - the ones I convinced they did not need to go backpacking through the Caribbean after showing them Natalee's story here on SM.  After he finished his Army career and she completed all her nursing post graduate requirements they set off early this month for more northern areas. They sent pics from their stopover in Hawaii and today tell us they landed Vancouver yesterday and tomorrow they set off to Whistler where they both have landed jobs at their first interview.  I have viewed Fairmont's website and it looks absolutely beautiful.
It would be nice to be young again  :cool:

Flood traps 172 miners in China

Country has long history of deadly mine disasters


More than 170 coal miners were trapped underground in eastern China on Saturday after heavy rains brought floods to the area, inundating an old shaft of the mine they were working in.

The official Xinhua news agency said 584 miners were rescued after Friday’s accident at Xintai in Shandong province, but attempts to reach the remaining 172 were being hampered by heavy rain.

It was not known whether the trapped miners were still alive.

Xinhua said flooding in Xintai, more than 450 km (280 miles) southeast of Beijing, caused a 50-metre (160-foot) breach of a levee of the Wen river and a flash flood.

Poor safety standards make Chinese coal mines among the most dangerous in the world. About 1,800 coal miners died in accidents during the first half of 2007.

Earlier this month, 69 coal miners were rescued in the central province of Henan after being trapped underground for three days by flooding caused by heavy rain.

I haven't seen Robots in a while. I checked in at chat, but this lappy doesn't do well there. Be aware of lots of pop-ups! It could be a precurser to a virus called "sheriff" something or other that hangs around for several days and then wrecks havoc! My puter is trying to be salvaged as we speak.

Robots posted earlier today.  I think the forum is still giving him some problems though with slowness.  Actually, it's a little slow loading for me right now.

I can't reply without quoting.  Starting at about pg. 46 or 47, my reply button disappears and turns into reply print.  I am going to try to post this way.  It did the same thing last night.

Probably because he's got all the page numbers showing.  It does kind squish up that area for me but I can still reply.
