I'm still trying to catch up, so I read but never have much to say, but today I have to tell you all how amazing you are. Truly incredible.
It seems to be walking like a duck, and quacking, must be getting too close for comfort for someone I suppose. Well, yay.
Robert is in magnificent hands. Thank goodness.

There is another little gizmo here that I like because I listen to radio all the time - a way to share audio recordings via Fb, websites etc. I can't think of anything at the moment, but I'm sure it could come in useful one day.

Include yourself please minusfour-without all of the support on and off of the boards from people who are committed to bringing Bob home, all of this would just be a quaint effort at some justice. imvho.

lol accents.

Hey I had a great idea...I think. Y'all think Mr. H needs his own you tube video??? I kinda do
Need some of them there viral hits.
(off to google....how to make a you tube video)

eta...lol yep - how to make a you tube video using powerpoint I might can handle that......

let us know if you need help gathering material ok sre?

 

[zwiebel]

It's taken me sometime to get there, but I guess making a youtube with powerpoint, isn't that different from using powerpoint to make a presentation. So It shouldn't be as difficult as I'm imagining.

I'm still playing with the idea of audio though. People like listening to stories as well as watching them. And with both Bob and Fontelle having sight problems it might be nice to have something the legally blind community could access. Their support would be most welcome!

I might be able to write it but no way am I going to tell it aloud - I'm going to have to find myself someone with a nice voice.

Well interestingly enough, we had quite a few malicious activities that tied in to Bob's anniversary and our new efforts.

I collected and continue to collect information regarding them and I was told that there are so many cases of this kind of stuff that it is difficult to get LE's attention regarding it except when it is in relation to a major crime. Like a murder investigation, just for example. The other bit I was told was that the FBI has jurisdiction over it.

I am going to chalk it up to coincidence until told differently because there is no way on God's green Earth that anyone could be that stupid.

Right?

BBM. With the online behavior we've seen, I honestly wouldn't put anything past Bob's daughters, the sil and grandson. Based on their behavior, they appear to think they're untouchable and above the law.

Maybe I would say 'that confident' instead of 'that stupid'......
I'm long past believing there is a limit to their behavior regarding their fathers disappearance.

 

[zwiebel]

Or could it be that some people think this is normal? I think we've already seen some very contradictory behaviour - aunts having disputes with grandson, sisters appearing to say things in opposition to other sisters, son-in-law leaving everyone high and dry when he must know so many of the public's questions about Bob's disappearance can only be answered by him. All combined with a show of public unity.

Then we have the conflict between what is said and done in public, and messages and actions that are taken in private.

So, I don't tend to think, can anybody be that stupid? I tend to think, is there anyone out there who would think it is entirely normal to present one face to the public, and then, behind the scenes, seek to destroy the search for a missing person, maybe because you don't like some of the people searching? Or maybe because you'd prefer no search at all? And not worry about what will happen if anyone finds out, because to you that is normal behaviour?

It's what everyone does, isn't it? Nobody will be surprised.

That's a rhetorical question. I'm convinced most people do NOT think/behave that way. I think what was said in the Disappeared episode, and the public's reaction to it, is proof enough.

There are people around Bob's case whose reactions to his disappearance have been downright unusual. I'm not sure they know just how unusual other people find them though.

That's an interesting observation, zwie.

I've wondered in many a case if there is a correlation between the first BBM of your post, and the second.
Is there simply a certain type of person who resists persistance and competence in whatever area of services one is seeking or wishes to appear to be seeking?

I mean, who goes to the best cardiologist around and is told that they have significant risk factors for heart disease and ought to have XYZ and change their lifestyle and so on and so forth...and then says poo poo they don't know what they're talking about, they just want me in their operating suite??

When you create a PP presentation it will allow you to save it in a multitude of formats. One of them is Windows Video format.

That should work.

 

[zwiebel]

Welcome, EGirl! You just caused a transatlantic misunderstanding, I think. I thought for a moment a fellow supporter of my family's favourite football team had appeared, and got all excited. Then I realized that, in your location, Spurs probably doesn't refer to a football team in England.

The reason the concept struck me is that I had a friend who drank themselves to death, who was terrified of dying, knew (I think) what was killing them, but insisted to everyone who would listen it was some rare medical problem and they hoped for a miracle cure. After trying everything else, I tracked down the leading specialist in that rare medical field, and got my friend a consultation.

He said what I thought he would, as kindly as he could, but it made no difference at all. I walked away in the end, after years, because I couldn't watch someone kill themselves, who did not want to die, while asking their loved ones to subscribe to the story this was just a terrible, terrible, stroke of fate - a great, tragic mystery and there was nothing anyone could do.

I still think about the choices my poor dead friend made, and if they were choices at all. And I still think about the choice I made too. I always will.

You are not getting me with that one. I made a total fool of myself with Cubby when I was new, confusing US baseball with football or whatever. And Cubby was so kind and never teased. (Mr Z flipping did. And he knew all the latest results too!)

 

[zwiebel]

Baseball? Or did I mean basketball?

 

[zwiebel]

I did mean baseball. That's the one with the bat.

 

[zwiebel]

Don't mention bats anyone - Mr Z will start going on about cricket.

By the way, where are you Bob? Are we getting close? I hope so. We hope to help get you home before another year has passed, online obstructions or not.

 

[Oriah]

Ohh they all involve some sort of projectile and interference and a goalie of some sort- no sense in trying to keep them all straight, as the concept is the same.

Yes. Mr. Harrod where ARE you?? I'm back to map staring and weather and 330 today.

 

[Cubby]

Yes, the one with the bat! And as far as Bob's case (and a few others here at WS) I'm not backing off the plate!

 

[Cubby]

When it comes to the lashing out and silence from the Michaels family triangle, I always go back to the only logical reason for SIL's silence - IF they believed their theory - was that some kind of hanky panky was going on between SIL and the BL. (And that's as much of a leap as the 'Fontelle planted memories in Bob's head' theory).

I'll go as far as saying, who is stupid enough to believe their silence makes logical sense if someone outside the family is responsible, as they suggest? Are we to believe they're trying to protect the BL with their silence? Because that is what people are thinking regarding their silence and lack of action with regards to actively searching for Bob.

In that sense, if they aren't stupid, they simply don't care how they appear.

Where is Bob?
