And the little creep is smiling!
Mark Klaas always tells ppl
to STAY AWAY FROM PSYCHICS.
The ones that tried to help
find Polly only ruined and
held up the investigation.
my grilled cheese sandwitch told me the same thing

brigette, were you around about 15 years ago when someone predicted it would hit? They even had a date if I remember correctly. Maybe December? Scared the bejesus out of everyone here anyway. I don't know how it played out elsewhere but in western Ky it was all over the news. I got an earthquake kit ready. (o: But yes I agree. When it hits,andnot IF, it will be devestating.
Several years ago, we added Earthquake Insurance to our Homeowners policy here in Arkansas (New Madrid Fault Zone). Our company (USAA) stopped issuing that insurance here, but we got in under the wire. We're NOT dropping it either :)
Well, let's not split hairs. I think we're both right, but I certainly didn't mean to slight NH's family and I'm sure they're devastated. I'm wondering if we're getting ready for a very foul odor of a cover-up from the Dutch.
Will be interesting to hear if Geraldo has any real news to report about this latest development.
I hope someone with better eyes than mine can pick out that red flag in the pic of the atm. It looks like a McDonald's golden arches flag.
For some reason I keep going back to Carlos and Charlies in my thoughts. Does anyone have pictures of the inside and outside of the bar?
Fox just showed pictures of PvdS after being released today. He has the shiftiest and weirdest EYES I hae ever seen. There is definitely something up with him!!
I now wonder about the new judge being called in to look like they are not playing favorites and then he releases this jerk. More Aruba politics and games.
to me it looked like UBA.........as in ARUBA
Maybe Geraldo will have Beth on
to get her take on the day's
court happenings.
A few days ago I posted a photo gallery that contained quite a few photos from Cn'C.
Ah, thanks, I didn't scroll down far enough. LOL!

June 26, 2005
Several hundred people, including classmates who traveled to Aruba with missing teen Natalee Holloway, attended a hometown fund-raiser for the Holloway family.
Holloway, 18, went missing May 30 on a Mountain Brook High School graduation trip to the Caribbean island with classmates and chaperones.
At the fund-raiser Saturday afternoon, a group of six Mountain Brook teenage girls put on matching silver wishbone necklaces, a sign of their lasting friendship.
"Natalee still has hers," Mallie Tucker said at the concert raising money for the search for Holloway. "Natalee is my best friend and I'd do anything to bring her home."
"We just get together and pray," said Frances Ellen Byrd, also wearing her wishbone necklace. "We can't wait for her to get home."
Byrd was at Carlos and Charlie's in Aruba the night Holloway disappeared. "I never saw her when she left," Byrd said. "It was closing time and everyone was leaving."
She said that Holloway was with 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot - now detained by police in her disappearance - as early as 9:30 p.m. the night of the disappearance, before leaving with him after the bar closed at 1 a.m.
She said it was hard to keep track of all the 124 Mountain Brook High School students as they left the bar.
"I don't blame anyone," Byrd said.
But there is still guilt, some of Holloway's fellow students said.
"A lot of us feel personal guilt," said Milner Owens, who was on the trip to Aruba. "People are trying not to relive it. I wish we had done something. We've all learned a lesson from this. We've changed. Life is altered."
Beau Barron, also on the Aruba trip, remembers being at the bar with Holloway that night, and wonders how it could have turned out differently. "It's always in the back of everybody's mind," he said.
The chaperones are not to blame, Barron said.
"They weren't there to hold our hands," he said. "By no means should this be put on them at all."
Said Barron: "We're trying to keep hope alive. Nobody's giving up."
A group of 24 volunteers, including eight divers, with Texas EquuSearch began searching Aruba with sonar equipment and dogs on Saturday.
Barron lined up with others in front of Otey's in Crestline to donate money to help cover the costs of the search effort in Aruba and to pay for expenses for Holloway's family to stay there as long as necessary.
Doug and Joy Smith, co-owners of Otey's, hosted the benefit, with musicians Matthew Mayfield and Will Mason of the Moses Mayfield band performing. Donated items were auctioned off.
"This is a way we can show our support," Joy Smith said.
"It's a strong community," Doug Smith said. "Everybody's ready to do everything they can."
'Scarborough Country' for June 2
SCARBOROUGH: Let me ask you, Frances Ellen, when is the last time you saw her?
BYRD: That night.
SCARBOROUGH: Yes, you saw her the night...
BYRD: I was with her that night.
SCARBOROUGH: You were with her that night.
BYRD: Yes. Yes.
SCARBOROUGH: All the friends went back to the hotel. And did you all see her go back to the hotel or not?
BYRD: I am just leaving it that we saw her there.
SCARBOROUGH: Saw her that night. BYRD: Right.
YODER: Yes. Absolutely.
I do not know, demkicker. I am kinda depressed for Natalee's family tonight, particularly her mother.
I might be attaching too much emotional importance to this sad tale, because my oldest child, died at about this age, but not this way. She had a sudden fatal cardiac arrythmia caused by a congential birth defect that we thought inconsequential. We got the phone call at 3AM, from a hospital far away, in a college town.
So, my heart is with Beth, for I know the hell she is living in.
