Lively Case Discussion #484 6/30 - 7/1/2006

[Sleuth]

Hello Casa - good morning!

[Anna]

Sleuth,
Hope this doesn't mean if I get another cookbook that YOU will take it!


KLAAS:
There was mention of keyloggers in association with that Dayo so that is what got me to thinking about back when I had mine.  I had posted on Usual Suspects but very few times.   Now I wonder if this guy uses those.  Seems many are upset with him even on his friendly forums.  I just wonder what he thinks he can do with all his gleaned information on everybody who ever posted about Natalee.  And how does he store all that.

Caught up on my reading so now Anna walking. . . . . . . . . .
(I just adore Hat!  Wish he had time to post more often!!)

Hello Casa - good morning!

morning, sleuth!

[flyingmermaid]

Carnut - I drive a Cavalier (03 - black sun roof - sooooooooo cute - couple of bells and whistles that Mr. Mermaid installed)  - yes we are a Chevy Family!

Every once in a while I come home and say I saw a cute mazda or a Crossfire and I want to go test drive it just to see that little vein in Mr. Mermaid's head pump and throb!

I'm a Cessna/Learjet kinda guy myself.

Well Mr. Mermaid is a Exec for a Lear/Challenger Co. in Ft Laud Exec Airport - They have like 10-12 Jets.  He started out as an A&P Mechanic 35 yrs ago.  His whole family flies and his bro is a Continental Captain.  Heck his 87 yr old Mom gave up her pilot license when she was 75 yrs old.  Everybody asks why don't I learn how to fly - the line around here is so long I would never get the chance.

Flying is like driving except there is no road under you!

Shoulda worked for Cessna and get paid to learn on company time.

And don't tell Mr. Mermaid, but flying is quite boring as well.

I think the in charge but relaxed part is what he likes!

Very torn here Johnny Depp bio on!

Car, have you ever heard of a Morgan 4+4?  That is what I drove in high school.  I don't remember the exact model year but it was completely hand made with a wood frame.  My father, brother, and I started working to restore it when I was about 5 years old so it was a '50's model.

Yes, I am quite familiar with Morgans.

They are actually still in production.

I've corresponded with a lady on the net who says she was a racing drive back in the 50's 60' and has all the stories down pat.

She says she was married to a Dr. and when she got a divorce he wanted their restored Morgan in the settlement. So, before he came to pick it up she says she totally disassembled the car in the garage.

I remember seeing the story in a Sports Car mag of the era, just don't know if she was the 'for real' person in the story.

This lady doesn't live in CO does she.  I sware that sounds like the exact story my father told my mother when he brought that car home in boxes that took up the garage.  I am serious.

Well, yes, the lady has some CO time and in her background, she was a stewardess and she drops some pretty big auto/racing names as friends.

I was under the impression though that the car deal was back east in Pennsylvania or so.

We lived in CO at the time dad bought the Morgan and remember I was very young so I wasn't reading car mag's yet.  I don't know exactly where dad had to go to get the car but I remember all the stories about how mad my mom was about him waisting money on a bunch of boxes of junk and the story he told her.  My dad was ultra honest but who knows.  I do know at my age now I cannot believe he let me drive it to school and out with my friends every day when I was 17-18.  I guess he loved his little girl.

heh, heh, would you believe back when I worked at Cessna I bought property in a landing strip development and built a house with an attached 30x48 garage/hanger?

Lived there 10yrs until got divorce.

Unfortunately found out I like the scenery on the ground better than in the air and the drivers license physicals are easier to pass.

Does appear there are a few Dads around like that, lucky girl.

Hey casa, my eyes are crossing, but am enjoying all the OT chat.

His bro lives on a fly in - kinda fun arrive at someone's house for the weekend in a plane and no car and leave that way.  Little scary to land there. We are looking for one here.  Eliminate hanger rent......

My youngest daughter flew to Memphis last week and she sat beside an older woman on the plane.  She said she was talking with the woman and that the woman looked at her and said "you look like that girl that disappeared in Aruba".  It seemed strange to my baby cause she worked for Natalee's aunt who lives in the same town as us but she does resemble her slightly.  At least it is still on people's minds!!

I met a lady at a party who looked just like Beth - after a convo I told her - and she said people told her that alot.

That actually was the best thing about flying around here, day trips (1hr or so) to check on things in the area and then return the same day.

Have had a couple of jobs where I did that on occasion.

Traveling for me is still much more enjoyable on the ground.

Yep, short grass strips can get your attention.

[Carnut]

We live in Fl so Orlando, Key West, Tampa, Cocoa/daytona/St Ausustine,
Bahamas all about an hour.  I like that!  4 hours in a car now is torture for me.

You don't understand Car.  I was the wildest of wild child.

Carnut, I meant to tell you earlier, I had the same thing happen to me about the tooth.  Was going to get root canal, dentist said I can't do it, sent me to an oral surgeon and he sent me directly to the hospital.  Was suppossed to be outpatient, ended up in hospital for three days and came home with IV antibiotics with Home Health,  a real nightmare. Kind of sounded like what happened to you.

[anidac]

Good night gang.  Hubby says I must go to bed now.

Exactly, almost the same story.

Casa - hate to say this but this encounter of your daughter will somehow find it's way to Refugees.  Someone will say Natalee was seen on an airplane recently.
