Natalee Case Discussion #681 9/16 - 9/24/2007

[crazybabyborg]

It just might be a good day to check your Walmarts! I just called and they said that there's a new modular being set up within the book section, and she was nice enough to go ask the guy if "Loving Natalee" was among the new releases to be dispalyed on it. The guy said he wasn't unpacking his "product" until he got the modular set up, but that he thinks it is! She suggested I call back at 1:00.

I'll try Sam's in the meantime........

VMS,

Did you re-order from Amazon?

I have a copy ordered from Amazon, Anna, but I just ordered another copy from Walmart and paid for overnight shipping.

I don't think it's fair or right to complain about Rob's sharing of info. He is TRYING to do what is best for Beth out of respect. The book is really not supposed to be released yet. Rob does not feel it is fair to Beth to reveal all the juicy details just yet. I don't think it is a "Ego" thing at all.

Thank you!

Looks like someone in Garland, TX already has a copy of Beth's book on Ebay:

Hi 2nj! If you read on down that ebay ad, it says it's a "pre-order" for the book and that it will ship in October. 

CBB, thanks....didn't scroll, obviously!!! It's in huge font, as well!!!!  Chuck the Rodent had something to say about it on the hate site around the same time I posted...

  I am HOPING someone else finds a copy before I get one.
I don't want everyone mad at me because I'm so slow, LOL.

I agree!  And I am surprised that some think otherwise!  I can easily put myself in Rob's shoes.  And as much as I want to know things now, I can see that reading it yourself without information can really affect the way you experience the book.  It is like movies, everyone says, oh it's great go see it.  But by the time you see it with everyones input, you wonder what the big fuss was.  Anyway, I can respect Rob's position.

Wreck, I respect your right to your opinion...even though it differs from mine

Once again...I am sorry I even asked last night.  Seems I am a magnet for trouble anytime I open my mouth.  Sorry to have caused any trouble for Rob and others.  :et's just drop it.  I guess I am too excited to hear Beth's version of things.  We have been told so many lies and still no one on that island seems willing to help except Jossy.  I guess my two years of frustration finally reached it's boiling point.  Again, my apologies.

Lala's there is nothing to apologize for.  I was interested in hearing about the book also.  I know everything can't be said about what's in the book but I have enjoyed what Igsigs and Rob told us so far.

VMS,

I'm not VMS but I think she ordered through Walmart.   To my knowledge, Walmart is the only one making the book available right now.

[Peaches]

I have to run by Walmart later today anyway so I'll look at the store near me.   

As for snippets, I'll read the book myself but if someone posts a particular snippet, I doubt I will get my nose out of joint about it.  Small stuff.

Exactly Peaches.  Good to see you.

Lala's no need for you to apologize ....you did nothing. We are all anxious to hear what Beth has to say.....

[Anna]

I did not order next day delivery but the expedited choice and it says it will be delivered in 2-3 working days.

We will see about that.  Sure hope so.

[Anna]

I might add that I will believe the 2-3 day delivery only when I have the book actually in my hot little hands!

Whatever has made me become so cynical?  I wonder if it has to do with things exposed during this investigation for it has taken me places that I never knew existed and exposed a side to people I sometimes would rather not know.

Looking back to the beginning, this has been one wild ride, hasn't it!

Maybe snippets could go on a separate thread so someone who doesn't want to read anything in advance doesn't take the chance? Klaas?

Yes it has Anna.

I am betting that you will receive your book on Thursday.

Exactly, Anna.
If that book arrives tomorrow, I'll be very surprised. Like I said, I'm gambling.
