[DJ MacWoW]

I’m reading. and there’s another thread too. :-)

“Maybe Mr. Sunderland ought to go on a solo sail around the world and give the Mrs. a rest.”

ROTFLMAO!

[hinckley buzzard]

It figures. There was some serious huffing and puffing around here before the souffle collapsed.

When it’s an anonymous forum it’s real easy to rant and rave about how the country depends on kids like this running to their doom for reality TV. And that’s no joke either, they have been and still are.

Dubya rigged the mast with explosives and Rove pushed the button on his magic machine.

I just revisited yesterday’s thread. Like the Energizer Bunny, “it’s still going... and going...”

LOL! I thought it was bad yesterday, but a few of those ass clowns have taken acrimonious to a whole ‘nuther level!

Looks like you’re enjoying yourself though. :-)

[beckysueb]

Exactly. Now where are those people who called us envious and jealous for saying they were looking for publicity.

[Crim]

Still there...still slinging crap...

I hope this person sees this thread. LOL

[beckysueb]

Amen! Me, too. If I hear one more word about how teens do nothing but pop babies and play video games I’ll scream.

[beckysueb]

Go for it. LOL

I seriously irked some Abby supporters.

So did I. Especially today.

I was told this morning that I was insane and wished her dead.

“I was told this morning that I was insane and wished her dead”

Yeah I’m thinking that “abby is the litmus test” for the admins to give the forum a much needed enema.

To be fair, every RTW Sailor writes a book (I think Neptune extracts a promise from them when they cross from the equator)

Basically A sails solo around world, writes book, B reads it, decides to sail solo around world, does it and writes book ~~~~~

And it goes on: Jessica’s Book to be Titled ‘True Spirit’

Despite the fact that today started with a knockdown, a wet bunk, a headache and some pretty huge seas, I've had a great day.

I think this will be the teen girl sailor book that sailors will buy

It certainly has become a hot topic. I'm surprised at the emotional investment some posters have. They must be the ones that watch Oprah. I've never had a high opinion of glory hounds.

But this kid showed extraordinary courage.

[beckysueb]

Don’t these Abby defenders remind you of the people who wanted the lady in Florida dead. The one who was supposed to be brain dead. Her name slips my mind now.

[DJ MacWoW]

Terri Schiavo. I was on those threads and the cruel comments were stunning.

[MamaB]

Yeah, I remember seeing some of those remarks.

[Politicalmom]

Oh, those “vegetable” comments were simply sickening.
