Rumor of Breaking News

[Itawamba]

K...well I hope you have a good time! So strange that someone actually knows of The Woodlands.

I knew of The Woodlands *before* it was The Woodlands -- worked on the Mitchell Properties account (advertising/PR) to help Geo Mitchell get his HUD loan, which was the largest ever, at that time.  I was working on it in "Year Minus 5" - 5 years before it opened.

I'm in SW Hou.

What will we all do when this is over?  Do they have rehabs for stuff like this?

[CancunMole]

Sarah: I've been 2X for a week each and stopped on a cruise in between. Great place, great people. Lots of fun.

[Whitney]

Westcoastguy much obliged.  I knew I could count on a "left coaster" to help out.

[Shellbell]

I think that we go buy guilty until proven innocent instead of innocent until proven guilty.  And MJ walked!

[iquitos]

I wonder whose idea it was to arrest the security guards, the FBI or the Aruban police.  They wnet in like gangbusters with the media in tow so they could perp walk the guys and humiliate them publicly.  All the makings of theater and they got the wrong guys.  The arrests did take off the pressure for a few days.   Now they have demonized Joran.  I would not be surprised if he is not involved either.

[WoodGuy]

Sorry woodguy...sorry

Not your fault....I couldn't read fast enough. Just realized that Friend changed her name. Now I'M the confusing one.....

[NativeLingo]

Juvenal.... for instance...in my case, my father is a Native Aruban and my mother is from Madrid Spain.....What do I look like?? Spanish I guess.....
When I lived in the states (up north) I was white....here I'm constantly tanned I guess.....most people are.

Sarah, I spent a few weeks there working on a claims  case (shoddy construction) for the Radisson that was under construction. Ironically, I stayed at the Allegro--didn't get a lot of work done. Fell in love with the place, can't wait to take my wife back.  

Other irony is that we have an office in Birmingham, my good friend is a MBHS alumnus, and Natalee's mom is the specch therapist for my friend's daughter.

I use to live in El Paso, otherwise known as HELL

[KerinTX]

wow Itawamba...I could practically reach out and touch you

sarah says:
Anyone here been to Aruba--besides the folks that actually live there--you lucky dogs.

Yep, vacationed, lived & worked there. Curacao & Bonair as well. Throw in Antigua.

Fox is just a repeat from earlier. Not broadcasting live from Neverland now.

[Shellbell]

Dragon we need to look into that after this is over!

[AnnieMW1]

Sarah - Are u sure you didn't mean St. Louis?

[dragonfly]

Absolutely, Shell.  Otherwise I might actually have to go back to living my life (which I have not done since I found this site!!!!!)

[Selena]

iquito, Joran may not be guilty of anything more than bad judgement in picking friends,..but where is Natalee?

[K in TX]

Now for my Question-of-theDay: Is the Arubian culture similar to the Hispanic culture?  

That site, with Joran at the girl's 15th birthday party, seemed like it could be similar to an Hispanic girl's quincenera celebration.  White dress, big party, etc.

Just wondering.  Around here, any young woman of Hispanic descent celebrates her quincenera (sorry for the lack of the tilde...my computer doesn't have it), and it is a HUGE deal.  I've been to many, and they seem so similar to that party.

[Juvenal]

My eyeballs are burning.  Anybody else having this same problem?

You're sleepy and have your eyeballs locked onto a computer screen at the same time!

[CaliGirl]

Just have to chime in.. it's been sooo nice without trolls tonite!
