I'll let Red know Sandy - sorry it caused you problems.  We do appreciate it when you translate them no matter your expertise

Help, please.

I forwarded an FOIA form to the FBI requesting information about Natalee's alleged disappearance in Costa Rica.  Some buttwipe at UR or RU, whatever the hell it is, claimed she new it was fact based on info she received from the FBI using the FOIA form.  Well I got a letter from the FBI that I want to post at UR to prove that I did request the info and was denied based on the fact that there is no proof that Natalee is deceased.  I have scanned the letter to a pdf but do not know how to post here or any other blog.  Can someone help me do that, please.  At the very least I want to show that blankety blanks that I'm not full of it and am not lying (like most of them).

Yep, email it to me and I can fix it for you.  I wonder if it could be uploaded to a site as a pdf?  hmmm.  If you have it saved as a .jpg you can upload to photobucket too.  Email to me and I'll figure it out.

Sorry, Klaas, I don't have your email anymore.

I just emailed you from the one you posted at RU  

ok

My boss just sent me this e mail:

MUST KNOW *677

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *677.




It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on.  Lauren's parents have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.




Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 677 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, so he told her to keep driving, remain calm, and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her.
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.


I never knew about the *677 Cell Phone feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them ( i.e. put on your hazard lights) or call *677 like Lauren did.




Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of wonderful information.


*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell** Mobility confirmed that *677 was a direct link to State Police Dispatch. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *677.





Send this to every person you know; it may save a life

For years here in Pa this same thing has happened. several women have been raped using the same M.O. 2 months ago they found the perp and he was an off duty cop this time, pulling females driving alone off the side of the road and rapeing them.  In 2 other previous cases that i can remember it was rapist who was let out of jail for good behavior.  I believe he was on week end furloughs from a work program and thats how he was cought all the occurance happened while he was out on his w/e work release.
  the last case i remember was a former rapist who was let out on early parole due to jail overcrowding.  
thank God for the cell phone features now in place and never stop for anyone in the dark. go to nearest police station or diall 911 if you have a phone.

I'm going to tell you monkeys all about my day so you'll feel better about yours.

1)Showed up at the building where our trainer was supposed to have set up the staff training I was doing - to find nothing set up.
2)Rushed back to my office (8 miles) and got training stuff. Couldn't go over the speed limit cause I didn't put my purse back in the car and was driving without a license.
3)Got back to training site, the overhead projector that was supposed to be there wasn't.
4)Found an overhead projector, it only worked five minutes.
5)Didn't have enough chairs in the room, had to find more chairs.
6)Found another overhead projector, then the blacklight I needed at one point in the training broke.
7)Found a vacuum cleaner to sweep up the broken bulb, but all the vacuum did was crush the glass into the carpet.
8)Had to find a broom and dustpan and try to get the glass bits out of the carpet.
9)Tried to leave, but was caught by a staff member who needed me to approve some stuff.
10)Had not had even a drop of water all morning, finally tried to eat lunch at my desk at 1:30.
11)Director and Asst Director are both out of town, so I'm in charge. The whole time I tried to eat people were bringing me things to approve.
12)Left to go to local giant mall to get a black light to replace the one I broke. (Doing same training again tomorrow.) Had blisters on my feet, no parking places near mall entrance.
13)Got black light and came back outside. It was 105 degrees.
14)Finally got home and my mom told me my aunt died today.

Now, don't you all feel better about your own day?

So sorry to hear about your aunts passing.  My prayers for your aunt and your family. sicearly sandy l

no problem thanks for understanding. Ill continue translating as much as i can - just dont need crazies if ya know what i mean.

I sent your translation to an Aruban friend and was told it was pretty good.  Not exactly verbatim, but the content was accurate.

[sandy leiva]

BT....Earlier today I posted a link to Coffee Pot site you asked about last night.
http://www.coffeepotghost.com/NATALEE_HOLLOWAY_CASE_index.html

New Front Page Post

Aruba, One Happy Safe Island … If You overlook the Armed Crack Addicts

http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/2006/08/01/Aruba-one-happy-safe-island-if-you-overlook-the-armed-crack-addicts/

There is a tourism slogan in there somewhere I am sure Aruba can use.


Come to Aruba ... we have armed Crack Addicts.

Come to aruba ... where we demolish the crack houses so they can spend more time on the beach

Aruba ... Snap, Crackle, Pop.

Red
I sure wish there was an easy way to cut & paste text from the front page..  

What shelter??   Is this a rehab or 1/2 way house they went through and found the "artifacts"?  

"the Governments decision to demolish a crack house downtown"!  

What the heck does this mean?  Did the government own and operate this place? Did a city condemn a building owned by an individual(s) and demand its demolition?

People are concerned that the "addicts will also break into the stores and other establishments that are closed in the area around Main Street ".  What about stores that are not closed?

Oh thanks so much Easy for doing that, sometimes I worry that maybe I sent the wrong flavor of the message. Been practicing papiamento from a book and it aint easy because of the old caigue tribe(indian) word the dutch influence and thier own dialect But I read it and reread it until I get the gist of it.  I really appreciate knowing that. Thanks again

[BIGORANGECRUSH]

BOC on a fly by! No booking from our agencies to Aruba in over a year! Even those who own time shares are not going and selling their time to non US tourist!   Keep the fire burning I'll be back!!!

      just so you'll know the real deal, Siddalee is Julia Renfro's mommy or Glenda's or Scoop's or bondia's   all of the above multiple personalities

Hi you all, I ventured out to other threads today, some interesting information and sharing of ideas in the Middle East situation.

Good question OF, I wondered too if this was some sort of half-way house or what. If it was, and they demolished it and gave the residents no other option, then to the streets I guess they would go.

[BTgirl]

Thanks to Sandy and da wench.

Much appreciated.

[mishy]

BT, so sorry about your hellish day and very sorry to hear of your aunt's  passing

Thanks much, Mishy. Smoochies.

BTGirl,

I just read your post and now I'm all stressed out.. It's important to be able to relax into silence, unentertained except by your own thoughts. If you can find an oasis of healing silence in the midst of your busy day, you will find yourself refreshed and recharged. Our lives are busy, the world is noisy. Spending time in silence can help you recognize the still point within yourself so that you can return to that calmness anytime you need it.  Lunch in the park with your husband, a walk in the woods. That corner of silence is hard to find sometimes, but we all need it. And once you find it, even the memory of it will sustain you.   So tell your husband to bring his toothbrush and meet you for lunch tomorrow..  I will be watching..
