Lively Case Discussion #479 6/25/2006

SNIPPED:

You are very special to many in here. Just stay away from those other sites. I sometimes read there, but it is so bad there now (much worse than before IMO) I don't go there anymore.  You shouldn't either. I, too, care about this case and there is much that angers me. Sometimes I have to step away. Didn't mean to rant. Just wanted to tell you you're a fine person!

\
Amen!!  Well said....and Easy....Natalee needs you!!!

[nomad]

Nomad, nice rant.  I agree totally.  Couldn't have said it better myself.

Easy, we love you.  

Hi Hat.

Thanks Peaches! Didn't know whether to post it or not.   You made me feel glad I did. I think an awful lot about Easy and so many in here. You, too!

Nomad,

Every post you have ever made has been exceptional!  Just don't be so scarce and when in doubt, by all means post!  We love to hear from you and as I said, you always have something certainly worth reading to say.

Another great rant by Anna!  Must be a ranting kinda day out there.  I hope all who need rain are getting it and those that don't need it aren't.

Mrs. Red, I will admit to stopping on the Fishing channel for a minute when surfing.  I just like to hear them talk about fishing.....for a minute.  I do like watching PBR... Professional Bull Riding.  That's pretty exciting.  And barrel racing! Love to watch that.

Ono, I think who Mr. Renfro is might shed some light on how she seems to have so much info for the editor of a tourist rag that is mostly social crap and porn ads from what I can tell.

it might also be the key to solving out what happened to Natalee....if she is indeed married.......is she protecting her husband?  what does HE know. She was a nobody until she invaded Beth's hotel room offering her help!! well....she is still a nobldy....but now she is a nobody who is part of the cover up, the lies and the corruption in Aruba

I was amazed wen I saw the Dog of Aruba... looks way to old to have a baby in the past few years. As if that matters. Lots of old ugly people have babies.
Why and how did she insert herself into this case ?
I don't remember where I read this so it could be crapola, but she befriended Beth and then she was on TV speaking of Joran in a glowing way. That was the reason for the fallout. ?
What exactly are her business interests in Aruba and how did she get them?
What did she do in the US ?
I know you all have plenty of funny comments abut what she used to do, but I am serious.

oH i think floating the trial ballon to see if they can make him take the fall...

Hey there Mrs. Red. I could envision this being attempted, all things considered. Pinning this crime on a Colombian would be a dream come true for Aruba. Huge risk though. Everybody is watching. Another corrupt move and the 20% drop in tourism would seem like nothing.

Anna, I agree!  

Igsigs... exactly but you know I don't think they understand our culture one bit... they think they can make this go away... they don't understand that our politicans get on tv and blow a bunch of junk and then go have cocktails together... they really don't get that we see straight through them...

Renfro, a white American who has lived in Aruba for 15 years and is the mother of biracial children, said racial profiling does not have the same foothold on the island nation that it does in the United States.

"Aruba's colorblind," she said of the nation heavily dependent on the tourism industry.

"Interracial ... is not a word we would use here," she continued. "It doesn't exist. Most of the marriages are mixed. All of the children are mixed. Nobody can say I'm black, I'm white."

Yeah, right!  Tell that to Mickey Johns and Abraham Jones (I think that was his name??  other security guard) and see if they will buy it!  The Dutch are the ones who brought us Apartheid in South Africa and that was not that long ago, either.  

Actions speak louder than words and I resent that crack about racial profiling here in the U.S.  I am literally sick to death of these lectures from these smug, superior-sounding elitist in Aruba.  

First, we don't understand their system and later all the nasty remarks like this one.  Well, guess what?  We DO understand their system and it is called corruption and graft and collusion.  It is called "Change the Rules as You Go" and they are so transparent that anybody over the age of twelve would not be fooled by any of their malarkey for one minute.

I did soooo want Dompig to meet the Chief of Police in Birmingham and just see the look on his smug face after that one!   Those not guided by racial prejudice think others are for some reason and it seems their own measure of people is their income and/or status in their little flyspeck of an island community.  They are truly lost in their own smallness.  Ranches in Texas are larger than their entire island!  This attitude that they are so superior in every way is what got them into this mess in the fist place.

No one can claim they are a fast study or quick learners, can they??
 

Yea Anna!!  Have I told you lately how much I love your posts!!!

OS...I might add, I had extreme anxiety as well. I think the memory of the pain, and all I went thru, made me anxious. For one thing, I was so afraid the pain would hit again. The entire ordeal, even tho the outcome is successful, is just hard to take in. Plus, suddenly your entire life has changed.

My daughter's sister in law is a cardiologist, prior to private practice she was on a heart transplant team in Salt Lake City. She said 6 months post op, her patients thank her. So I guess the 6 month mark is what we are looking for.

My DH doesn't say anything about the pain now, but was adamant that he would not do it again. He says things that I just can't understand because I haven't been in the situation.

He will be ok, Prayers have been answered. This is just a difficult time for him, I think having to do things differently is hard for him. We just take our health for granted some times. I am so proud of him for quitting smoking.

Thanks for advice it is much appreciated.

Gotta go for today,

OS out

Mrs. Red this is from the VF article:

In those tumultuous first days, Beth's most valuable allies were Julia Renfro, the 37-year-old American-born editor of an English-language daily, Aruba Today, and one of her reporters, Angela Munzenhofer, a tough-talking American whose family runs one of the island's popular restaurants.

I knew I saw that somewhere....
