Let's hope so!  Word is that it is gone, but the stinky number two is still out there.  At least it is hidden and we can't be tempted to read that trash.

Morning monkeys.

BlueKY, let me come up there and help. I have had in-laws under control for some time now.  It must be my personality. 

Tylergal, you are avoiding me, aren't you? 

Super triple {{{{HUGS}}}}} to Peaches.  My hero.

[nonesuche]

Hi CBB-

Oh I don't know any FOB songs  I will let Easy do those honors.

Hi to everyone and now I need to run back to work  downsize this week, what fun !

[ldstlou]

Good Morning all..

Quick question, what happened to our home decorating thread?

Is this the thread.  It is now in the Lounge.

Thats it, thanks san, still trying to find my way around the new cage..lol

[crazybabyborg]

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

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.

[Easywriter]

(AP) The head of a Chinese toy manufacturing company at the center of a huge U.S. recall has committed suicide, a state-run newspaper said Monday.

Didn't another guy kill himself over the tainted food thing?  They don't take these recalls very well.

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.

To muse or not to muse, that is the question……..

Here is the thread for the travel shows:

[crazybabyborg]

Lala's. See my post in the other thread. There are some tangibles in this case, and if we broaden our focus to include ALE members that obstructed justice, there's even more. JMHO.

I wonder if the best solution to move anything at all further is for the family to file a civil suit in Aruba. Not that I think that will ever happen, but I wish it would!

[Lala'sMom]

Question....why did the FBI not search the water at the very beginning?  It was one of the first slaps that the FBI received from Aruba. They had divers and the equipment.  What was the reasoning by the ALE to not allow it?  What had happened to cause it?  Anyone?

Easy, I think the tainted food guy was executed and really fast.  Like before anybody could ask him any questions or conduct any of those embarrassing interviews.  Fast trial and even faster execution.

This one saved them all that trouble it appears.

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.

[MuffyBee]

I think the "air show" was an excuse to be able to fly over some of those areas for a close look and to intimidate Venezuela.  JMO

[Easywriter]

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."

[Easywriter]

Ever have the same feeling? lol

(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.

[Altruist]

Oh man, it would seem she had plenty of something before she had that one shot.

Murder & injustice are the only subjects that enrage me but my rage is emotional & not physical, knock wood three times it remains that way.
