Never mind, I saw the post (around 60 on this thread) that's not me but I plugged WS EVERY chance I got. Several people wrote it on their hands!!!
The #1 thing we were told over and over by Tim M. was that the bad vibes from the past between TES and the Anthonys are over. They spent several hours with them on Friday and all differences were hammered out. Tim's most sincere words were that he didn't want ANYONE saying ANYTHING negative about this family. If we did, we would be thrown off the search. He said they are going through something that the majority of us out in the world know absolutely NOTHING about and we have no right to judge how they deal with their pain. He was met with great applause and I can respect what he said. We should try here too - he's right, we don't know how they feel.
Hmmm...so have you checked into how many showed up at George's site to search for an alive Caylee? So far I have heard of a couple of people who were told they would get back to them on where to start...but didn't.
The number of searchers hasn't been tallied yet since the search hasn't ended. Searchers come in at various times over a few day period and it is difficult to say what the final count will be on how many participated when it does end.
I don't find it disappointing that well over a thousand or two thousand people gave up their Saturday to go in the heat and endure treacherous terrain to help find this child's remains. I think it is an example of the only thing good about this case...the way people have come together for one child in order to rectify a horrible wrong.
Supposedly, the bag contained dog remains.
Are there any reports of the areas that were searched? I hope all the places that the cells phone pings could have been get searched, every single square inch if possible.
Don't know it as being fact, but I thought I read that Tim preferred that family not be there.
Beautifully said!! I have wanted to go to Or-lahn-do for a couple of months but have been unable to do so.
I have lived thru each searchers posts and have felt a kinship!
I pray that this baby is brought home to us this weekend and I pray for each and every single person who has taken the initiative to search for her that they have the strength to accomplish what needs to be done!
I wish all here who will be with Tim tomorrow the greatest of luck!

Feddup this one is for you :blowkiss:
Oh... are you talking about me?!? I was just watching the newscaster and my understanding was that they had spoken to TES and were getting the word out for more folks to show up. In no way was I saying that it's not amazing that that many people showed up - I think it's awesome! It does seem to me - from the news broadcast, which could always be wrong - that TES had mapped out their search areas/grids based upon how many folks they had been expecting, which was less than the number that showed up. That's all I was saying...
Hey, if I didn't live 1200 miles away and have the flu and two small children to take care, I'd be right there along with everyone else. :thumbsup:
sorry to leave so quick - had to feed the dogs and hubby - back now. The stuff from the media was allowed to be discussed, I haven't discussed what was in the bags although I know. Am I allowed to tell WHERE the searches were? The media helicopters were following us all day so they know where we were but don't know if I'm allowed to say>
Friday night I got Trish's permission to do the following - I was very moved.
I work at KSC for a NASA subcontractor. We received a rare thing as employees on Friday - posters 11X17 of both shuttles on both launch pads. These will not be available to the public - but there will be similar ones later. We (Americans) will never again see two shuttles out there at the same time, it was history.
I framed my poster after writing on the top "To TES with whole-hearted gratitude From your friends at websleuths.com". All with Trish's permission. All day I saw Tim was surrounded by workers and very busy. I felt sad that I wouldn't be able to personally give it to him, but I was getting it to at least TES no matter what.
About 2PM I went to the TES tent and spoke to Craig? that was the microphone guy again. I explained the poster, how rare it is and to please get it to Tim for him and all of TES from all of the Websleuthers who are so grateful for all they do. He was pretty shocked and said he would get it directly to Tim. Right then, I swear out of the blue, Tim walked up all by himself and asked if we were looking for him. I almost fainted!
Craig explained the poster to him. He looked genuinely shocked too. He looked at me - oh gosh, I'm almost crying now - and he grabbed me over the ropes and gave me a huge hug. We were both shaking. I told him that I was so glad on behalf of all the Websleuthers that he liked it because he and TES means so much to us. He looked at the poster again, read the words and looked at me again with his eyes all welling up with tears.
I honestly didn't know it would hit them this hard. He gave me another really big hug and said thank you over and over and I said thank you over and over - yeesh sounds ridiculous - I said we could never find Caylee without you. He said "no, WE could never find Caylee without you and your group". We both smiled, nodded at each other and I got with my team to go out again as he was all of a sudden mobbed by people all over again.
It was soooo humbling and honoring for me. It's so impossible to describe how he makes everyone feel but you can take how he makes you feel seeing him on TV and multiply by about 1,000!!! Never had anyone look into my soul like that before except a dog I had (avatar). He is truly a wonderful man. I would move mountains if he asked me to!! In a minute!
When I first joined WS it was because I shared an interest with everyone. Now I see it more, it is a family I have joined and I thank you for accepting me. Cathy, I saw you on TV and you represented, girl. I saw the other WS'ers, too,,, and my chest swelled with pride. Cocoa, you have a heart as big as Texas. Thank you for everything, every movement, every thought each of you put in to that search today and will again tomorrow.
For those speaking negatively, I don't reckon we need anything but positive brain food here, but thanks for the offer. You can keep it all for yourself. I have no idea why you feel the need to do this but it's not wanted.
Peace out! :blowkiss:
No Yoko's allowed...
That all too unreliable media was reporting that it was a disappointing turnout of around 1,500 but I asked the guy with the microphone (Craig I think?) at about 2PM how many and he said the first final rough count was just shy of 3,000 - sounds darned good to me!!
