I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Well sweeping all this stuff under the carpet has not worked ... at some point it needs to be hashed out.  IMO

We are going to have to close the thread if this persists. Thank you.

Noooo.....please don't.

Did they admit to burying the body after she drowned?

Hello again ladies! I've been hesitant to post because of all the fighting but thanks to those of you who hoped I was feeling better. Ya know, I've been reading all this stuff on a few of these threads and it brings back so many horrible memories. I'll just tell you my story and we'll see what gets posted and then maybe I'll be able to figure out who's who. There's been so many deletions, name changes, new members who are really old members, that I really don't know who to trust/believe. I'll admit I don't know the "history" of anybody because I stuck only to the Stage IV board the whole time. I joined this board in 2006 after being diagnosed with mets. I joined the same time as another lady who had the same diagnosis. What I now know was a "ruse" to be my friend and get to know me, I gave her my address/home phone/e-mail. I honestly thought I could trust her and I REALLY needed a friend.  She posted tons of times, every day and I honestly thought she just knew her sh*t when it came to metastatic breast cancer. I'm sure you all remember what happened on the Stage IV board in 2007.....well, somehow my address/home phone/email got passed on to a poster who I can only assume was crazy, because her posts were so volatile and ugly. I was harrassed by her on the board/mail/phone/email for months until I decided to leave the boards and asked to have my identity removed. Someone I thought was my friend passed my personal info to someone else, so it was obvious to me how quick someone will turn on you. She was the ONLY person I ever gave my info to.  I rejoined the boards when I saw that these two women were no longer posting as much, if at all and thought I would be safe. So far so good, for me anyway. I don't know why I'm rambling on about this, but I really need this board for information and sometimes for a good 'ole distraction and that's why I liked coming to this thread. What the hell happened?  From everything I've learned in the almost 6 years of reading this board, there are only 3 women who were consistently mean and ugly to other posters and from what I can tell, don't even log in anymore (maybe under a new name...I don't know). The rest just seems to be friends sticking up for friends, old history of which I am not aware, women having a bad day, or differing opinions. Time to let bygones be bygones. I want to keep posting on this board, but lately I just check in to get pms and post on unimportant issues. Trust me, I know what it's like, I was driven to never post on the Stage IV forum again. I'd hate to see that happen to an all fun-encompassing thread like this one too.

To the Moderators

If you close this thread, we'll just start another one.  And until you stop the people, esp. those using so many screen names ( sock puppets) from deliberately trying to create tensions where none existed before, it will happen again.  This is in a Forum to "Grow friendships" -when individuals who are not interested in "growing friendships" but in waging war start posting, there are problems. It is disingenuous of Moderators to say it is "both sides" causing the problems.  The women posting here were fine, until  posters who didn't like the thread, started trying to incite problems.  This is another version of what happened here several years ago, tho unlike Amy, we aren't afraid.

I agree with White Rabbit - let's tell the truth about who is cauing this.  You've got all the information about who is "reporting" posts they just don't happen to "like" - no violation of Community Rules - just retaliation.  I've been a victim of that attack, as have many others.

The drowning is nothing but a BS defense.  The defense is grasping at straws.  Casey's father is a retired police officer - yes.....he would get rid of the body for Casey - NOT!  The body was in Casey's car decomposing before it was put in trash bags and left at a make shift pet cemetary.  The defense also in the opening statements said that Casey was sexually assaulted by her brother and her father and then they did DNA tests to see if they could prove that Caylee was the daughter of the brother or father.  Funny thing is that they have not brought these test results into the trial yet.  Casey would have to testify about the sexual abuse and nobody has said if Casey is going to testify or not.

I couldn't agree with this statement more.  However, your group certainly doesn't seem to feel the same way when posting on breastcanswers.com.  How can anyone believe you or Shirley when you won't be honest about that even though it's all there for the world to see? 

Moderators, what is happening here is a classic case of projection.  So hypocrytical, self-righteous deceipt is how to get a thread shut down, regardless of what's really happening.  I'm stunned!  I do thank you for restricting the report this post feature to those who abuse it.  Just know that shutting threads down is a bandaid and not fair to the majority of us. 

As far as I know the grandmother knew nothing about the death. Jancie are you keeping up on it? You probably know more about what the defense is saying.

In Honor of Blue.....I'm down with that.

Patty - the defense is trying everything possible to avoid the death penalty - that is what they are concentrating on now - premeditated murder  - no doubt they know they have already lost the trial so now it is all about damage control and trying to come up with reasonable doubt to avoid the death penalty.

No, the father never admitted to anything.  He testified in court that Casey's car smelled like decomposed dead body.  He has not been asked about the "pool" yet.  The defense hasn't been calling him to the stand like they are Cindy the grandmother.

Athena.....A lot of times I will have left overs from the night before for breakfast. Chicken salad sounds good right now!

Athena - even though I am in menopause - I still go through those food cravings once a month when I would normally had my period.  I also eat like crazy!  I get so dang hungry and it is about 3 days of the month I go through that.

Thank you Athena. I am so happy I am still here! Dumb question, but didn't they recommend you get your ovaries yanked?

I have to leave for about 4 hours or so......but I will be back   I have a house cleaning job and then off to see my therapist and am not sure if I am going to see my horse today or not.  I really need to work on my laundry.
