Lively Case Discussion #585 2/25 - 3/2/2007

Strange thing, when I was in Quebec a couple of years ago, I didn't see it ? Or maybe I did because we did eat at a couple of fast food places but overlooked it. ????

You were in Saint-Sauveur, if I remember correctly.  That place is a little too fancy smancy for the real poutine.  All the kids, from Montreal,  who grew up on french fries, gravy and cheese curds (and Pepsi and Mae West) go to "Sauveur" to walk around in ski outfits and eat at Thai restaurants.  You have to go down the road to Chez Johnny in St. Jerome.  Look for a restaurant with people sitting at the counter smoking and watching the TV in the corner.  If the front window has huge stencils of hotdogs, hamburgers and steaming plates of poutine - you are at the right place.

I really liked Saint-Sauveur. We mostly ate where we stayed and then went out later ( walking ) . It was so peaceful. The shops were very overpriced, but I did get a deal on a very nice brooch.
We had to hang around Dorval for hours and I did see places like you described. We have our places here too for the fries. Real potatoes, lots of grease, tons of vinegar and salt. There is a place where you can get a nickel bag ( $5.00 worth or fries ) that will feed everyone you know, past present and future. For me, a once a year thing in spring when Greasy Mike's or whatever his name is opens.
It is still cold here, but not as bad. Haven't seen the sun for days.

I just posted the message below in the Atlanta lunch thread in the Lounge. I wanted to repeat it here to be sure everyone who is interested sees it.

Okay, Lunch Monkeys - we have settled on a location. If you have indicated to me that you are planning to attend, you should have received an e-mail from me today regarding where we'll be meeting. If you didn't, and you are planning to be there, please e-mail me at sockmonkey_mom@yahoo.com

We will need a definite head count as soon as possible so that we can make sure we get a table big enough to seat our group.

Thanks.

I pray he is right. Something is stirring the pot and has "wonder woman" (who is probably an old ugly man) stirring up her sh*t pot on the hate sites. And to think that others actually beleive that crap., that he/she spews out! LMAO!

I just wanted to add that as far as the Deepak emails, I do not know if I beleive in those or not. But I do know that this wonder woman character, did not bring them forward in an attempt to help Natalee's case. WW thought that the Deepak emails would prove him innocent. If they even were real, they were just a smokescreen IMO. WW has been slamming Beth, the Twittys etc. Even when WW did come here it was to argue. WW has all kind of theories, I call them garbage.  And just so that WW knows, this is not the entire forum's opinion, it is my opinion.

NANCY GRACE

GRACE: ...... while you were out combing the island, they called a meeting, a meeting at the pool behind the judge`s house of lawyers, the Kalpoe family, Joran Van Der Sloot, his father, for what?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: What he was doing was helping the boys get their stories straight, Nancy. He was instructing the boys how to get your story straight. If all stories match, in 10 days you will be free.

GRACE: And what about the hard drive?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Well he also told the guys once they got their stories straight to begin e-mailing this and then use your hard drive to nail an alibi.

GRACE: And not to use your cell phone.

Aruban Brothers Want Natalee Holloway Lawsuit Dismissed
 
LOS ANGELES -- A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles against two Aruban brothers by the parents of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway should be dismissed on grounds the case has no connection to California, the siblings' lawyers argue in court papers obtained Tuesday.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George Wu will consider the motion brought on behalf of Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, but no date was immediately set. The next scheduled hearing in the case is April 2.

The brothers' attorney, Kristina M. Beck, filed court papers last Tuesday in support of the dismissal.

The Kalpoes and another Aruban resident, Joran van der Sloot, have been the subject of scrutiny by Aruban authorities and the U.S. media. All three were arrested in connection with the Holloway case and later released.

Beck's court papers state that an important ruling occurred Jan. 24, when another Los Angeles Superior Court judge, Edward A. Ferns, ruled that the wrongful death claim of the teen's parents against the Kalpoes is substantially different from the siblings' defamation case against "Dr. Phil" McGraw.

"These actions do not arise from the same or substantially identical transactions, happenings or events...," Ferns wrote, in ruling that both cases should not be kept before the same judge.

The Kalpoes sued McGraw and CBS Television on Dec. 13, alleging they were defamed in a Sept. 15, 2005, show dealing with the still-unsolved case. Although the Kalpoe brothers had been released from Aruban police custody, the "Dr. Phil" episode suggested they gave Holloway a date rape drug and had non- consensual group sex with her, according to their lawsuit.

The episode also implied the siblings helped kill Holloway and dispose of her body, according to the lawsuit.

The Kalpoes and van der Sloot have maintained that they were not involved in her disappearance and did not have sex with her.

In addition to defamation, the Kalpoes' suit alleges invasion of privacy, emotional distress, fraud, deceit and civil conspiracy.

Natalee Holloway's parents, Elizabeth Ann Twitty of Alabama and Dave E. Holloway of Mississippi, filed a wrongful death suit against the Kalpoes the next day, even though their daughter's body has never been found and Aruban authorities have not determined if she is dead or alive.

Natalee Holloway was vacationing with friends on the Caribbean island resort when the 18-year-old disappeared the night of May 30, 2005.

Twitty and Dave Holloway, who are divorced, maintain that by bringing an action against McGraw in Los Angeles, the Kalpoes voluntarily submitted themselves to the Los Angeles Superior Court jurisdiction.

But in her court papers, Beck argues that Twitty and Holloway are not part of the defamation case; that the alleged misconduct by the defendants in the lawsuits occurred in two entirely different locations -- Aruba and California; and that one suit involves wrongful death and the other defamation.

In support of her motion, Beck attached to her court papers a declaration by the Kalpoe brothers' mother, Kemwattie Ramirez, stating that her sons live with her in Aruba and have no ties to California.

"Neither Deepak nor Satish has ever traveled to California, or anywhere within the United States, for business or pleasure," according to their mother, who also said her sons have no business, employment of financial ties to California.

Twitty and Dave Holloway also filed a wrongful death suit last year in New York against van der Sloot and his father, but a judge there also threw it out for lack of jurisdiction.

Meanwhile, a motion is set before Judge Ferns on Thursday in the defamation case.

Hi everyone!


Although both lawsuits are not involved with one another, it all falls back to the same denomiator. "Natalee"  And it always will.

Like many others on Aruba, they have Florida or USA POBox addresses or use someone elses in the USA. I was told by someone in Aruba he has a Florida POBox and uses it to keep from paying taxes or higher taxes.
I take it as a use for money laundering but they will never admit to that.
