MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #20 2/19/09 - 2/22/09

[theboyzmom]

Back to my DC problem - here are the choices for airports:
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI):
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA):
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD):

I have flown in to Regan but that is the only one - this is only my son's second time flying and first time alone - does anyone have an opinion as to which one will be easiest for him to navigate and find his shuttle?

[Kermit]

I believe Jug's word over Kermit's also. For that I am called misguided.

I [THE LEAK] asked Jug about Schaeffer...he is the oil guy. He was the one that provided the cash to get down there. Silvetti knew he would get more business from Schaeffer if he mapped....while they were looking...the ocean floor.

I have only flown into Dulles once in the last two years, it really does depend on the airline that you are using. I would suggest you call into the airline, ask specifically how far the security screening is from their gates, how far to the shuttle, and if they have a map. I know American Airlines has maps of the concourses for each airport. You might also go to the website for each of those airports to view maps. Also ask if there is any construction. Only time I got 'lost' recently was in Philly and they had torn up half of the security area and hallways leading to that concourse.

I just had another thought.....depending on theboyzmom's son's age, perhaps a special accomodation can be made for someone to make sure he makes the shuttle through the airline.  Of course, this probably will have a fee, but I have read about the process for my own purposes, that being for disabled, etc.

Just so everyone understands what I am referring to and not just being hateful. I am not good at copying and pasting either!! lol Hope this works.

This is what lead me to believe these were pics of Kermit. It said "these are my own personal photos", not "these are my own personal photos of someone I know".

I was later sent a photo bucket of a person who I don't believe was Kermit but a woman who works in the Nixon library who had these same photos and also claimed they were pictures of herself. My assumption now is that Kermit posted pics of someone other than herself and the only reason I can fathom for doing that is to deceive. I would love to be proven wrong because it really upsets me someone would do this.

Now you're a pro!!.   I would have offered to walk you through, but our burner drawer is stuck and we haven't been able to use it.  I tried methods to open it to no avail...seems the motor is shot.   Hoping to be able to get a new computer one of these days.

Reagan is downtown and Dullus is further in Virginia. The Metro is just outside Reagan and I've always found it well marked. The shuttles are just outside the baggage area with the taxi stands. If it's a hotel shuttle, the hotel should be able to verify where to go at the airport. Hope that helps?

That's the only one I ever use, too, CBB.  Easy to find your way around and surprisingly small.  At least compared to Atlanta.

I see Kermit in both photos.  See the little box in the middle with Kermit in it?  Duh.

"My personal photos" suggests to me that Kermit was taking the photos.  Not that Kermit was a human in the photos.  You ASSUMED that Kermit was a human in the photos.  So, the lady who stated the photo was of her would be correct.  Kermit took the picture with Kermit's camera. 

Got it?

Move on.

[ldstlou]

LDSTLOU - I feel you pain for your custody issues.  My husband and I sought custody of his 2 children a few years back!! In 2004, we finally got custody and in 2006 I was afforded the blessing of being able to adopt my children.

I can honestly say that it was one of the most difficult times of my life!!  The emotional tool it can take on you and your SON will be forever lasting!!

I will like to offer you some advice, I hope that is OK!!

From our experience, our Family Court System is not one to be proud of!  Lawyers, who claim to care about children, suddenly don't care if there is no money and judges have way too much power!!

Please do all your own homework!  Find out everything possible about your son's father and everyday!!  Don't rely on all old info!  Keep on him!!  Don't rely on your lawyer!

Also, the old saying of who you know is very true!! We had a well know known "mothers judge."  We were being eaten alive!!  After some research, we had no choice but to change lawyers and finally got the judge to recuse herself!!  We had tries several times, but she continued to refuse to do so.  Eventually, we got a much fairer Judge by hiring the "mother's judge" friend!  We did this so their would be a conflict of interest and she would be left no choice but to recuse herself!!  Our new attorney was very good and impressed with our homework!!

One last little bit info!! If your son's father makes more money, he has to help pay your legal bills.  Lawyers hate to do it because they typically have to a wait and fight for their money!  Although, we had to pay a substantial amount of her legal fees, it can be seen as a fair law.  Just because someone has more money should not afford them more legal power is the thinking behind this law!!   It outraged us, because - but not for her own actions, we would not be there!  Yet, this info has been handy for some of my friends that ex husbands loved dragging them to court - just to mess with them!!  Not so much fun, when they had to start paying!!   

If you need any help or advice, I am here here for you!!  Again, stay strong, keep your faith and trust your own instincts!! 

Mytime

Thanks Mytime! All advice on this ordeal is appreciated.
We were blessed. I have a fantastic lawyer who took the time to get to know Nicholas and I.
The ad litem is absolutely amazing. First time I left his office he gave me a big hug and promised me he would not put Nicholas in danger and he has kept his word. It appears that his dad will get 1 visit a week for 2 1/ hours and I retain all custody. Apparently I make more than him because he has asked the court for me to pay HIS legal bills!! lol
Not going to happen though. I think it is finally almost over, ad litem comes for a visit tonight and then court again next Tuesday, I think this is the best we could expect.

My little guy is a happy, healthy cookie, I think he is going to come out of this Aok!
Thank you for your concern!

so is the one on my desktop NJ Sons Mom. I didn't think of this before but shoot me an email, I'll loan you my company discount? Kind of ashamed I didn't think of that before now.

I think in the context, the photos were meant to make me believe these were photos of Kermit. Maybe I am the only one who read it that way? I apologize if so, but usually if I am showing pics of friends or family, I say this is a friend or family member and then discuss a bit about them and the pic.

I am NOT being hateful, just telling you what my experience has been throughout this.

My executive friends, whom travel a LOT - both foreign and domestic - avoid Dulles if at all possible.  They prefer going through Reagan or Baltimore. 

[nonesuche]

oh and before anyone goes off like a rocket, I am allowed to share my discount with friends and family and NJ Sons is indeed a friend !

wingnut- thank you for clarifying about the photos. My head is dizzy trying to make sense of it all and I really had not even stared at the photos before !

[Anna]

OK, here's another computer dilemma.  Mine recently stopped playing CD's or DVD's and suddenly does nothing when one is inserted.

Any suggestions?  I seem to have some how deleted or inactivated my drivers or something for the DVD/CD rom which is also read/write both in one.  HP.

Will check back later as I am having to just walk away.

WHY DID YOU LIE?

Idstlou said: “They were working with two FBI agents from Barbados. The footage was turned over to them.”http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4340.560

Idstlou said: ”The footage WAS turned over to the FBI immediately.”http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4340.500

BUT that is not what JUG said:

LEAK said: "This comment was made by Jug during a recent phone conversation:
All of the stuff that Kermit posted
FBI did not know about it..."
