I have not been able to keep up, so if this has been mentioned just giggle at me behind my back!
The photo posted (today or yesterday ...:waitasec
This one with the caption: Mario, Me, Bobby, and Victor chillin in Utah
That picture is probably around 2006 or so, and the guys (Bobby, Victor, Mario) are wearing "Team Renew" logos.
(Background for those who don't know - Team Renew is the name of Chris Hughes's downline in PPL. Chris and Sky Hughes are the mentor couple who were in the 48 Hours special -- the friends of Travis who warned him about Jodi and ultimately told him he needed to stop seeing her.... when he didn't, they kinda disowned him; they cut ties with him and said they didn't want Jodi around their kids, etc... )
Victor is wearing a burgundy colored shirt. Same Victor, same shirt, as in the "Chicken Dance" video where Travis is dancing and being silly.
the chicken dance - YouTube
This was a PPL event... maybe in Utah? Maybe the one where Jodi met him??? (Do we know???)
But we have Travis doing the chicken dance at a PPL event with Victor dancing by his side, and possibly Bobby dancing too.... WTH - 2 Bobby's and 2 Victor's (not to mention the bizarre coincidence that she dated a Victor Arias and Travis' middle name just happens to be Victor) ???
So, either Jodi knows several guys named Victor & Bobby and this is the biggest coincidence of all time
OR
she lied on the stand *IF* these are the same Victor and Bobby we heard ALL about. It definitely would conflict with her story about Victor being in Costa Rica, and Bobby being the teenage fling or whatever......since they are sporting Chris Hughes' Team Renew clothing!
Oh, and the Mario in the pic of Jodi with the guys... Sure looks like the same Mario appearing in a pic with Chris Hughes and Travis, captioned "My mentors" on Travis's myspace.
While I am getting all my thoughts out - here is another one........ remember how she pointed out the way her father mocked fat people and her mother when she gained a little weight and how she thinks her mother is a size 10 (not, IMHO!) well, does anyone else smell an eating disorder diagnosis coming as one more layer of sympathy?????? Another 'effect' of this 'lifelong abuse' ???
I'd like to play the game Vinnie P plays with his guests on HLN each afternoon:
Give me one word to describe JA's testimony this afternoon.
I'm still trying to catch up but I'm so far behind. *sigh*
There's a few things on my mind right now.....
I don't think this defense is going to work for JA
All her testimony thus far tells me is JA was a woman who depended on men to survive. She used her body to control these men....she's had sex with all these men PRIOR to meeting Travis. IMO, she was no lame in the bedroom....and she used that to her advantage in every relationship.
JA was looking for her 'meal ticket ' to the good life....and she thought Travis was the man... He was going places and he had money. Yes..it was about money. Some say Travis didn't have 'that much' money.....but I bet he had more money than these past losers that she kept getting with.
This wasn't about Travis...this was all about JA...and how she could benefit
Out of all her past relationships there was no 'he beat me so bad I ended up in the hospital's type abuse.
I just took the time to read your post Floating.
First of all, thank you for having the courage to excavate all of that and put it to paper (screen). I know how hard that must have been for you.
I don't have any words for you other than the brilliance of our poster K_Z (hope I got that right) who wrote of the importance of our bearing witness for each other. So simply by writing that and it being shared and read, you are less alone in your pain.
That counts for something. A whole lot of something. And I hope you keep sharing, I sincerely do. Your voice means a lot however you choose to participate.
Soft dreams tonite, friend.
I'll cheat, two wordsI'd like to play the game Vinnie P plays with his guests on HLN each afternoon:

Goshdarnitalldagnabbitetcetc....I really don't know if I'll make the am testimony tomorrow. I'm coughing like mad. Working all day today, not so helpful in the rest dept. Listening to a full day of The Jodi Arias Victim Story is not what the Dr. ordered either. I WILL be there for the pm....but right now it's not lookin good for the morning. I'm gonna go breathe some steam or something. :/
A News Junkie, Can I call you ANJ? Well looks like I did. What interesting sleuthing and connecting the dots you did with the Victors/Bobbys/Chicken Dances/PPL.
I'm sure the state's case is thorough and rock solid regarding JA's lies and Juan will tear her apart on cross and in his rebuttal case but otherwise you ought to CC him that post. We here at WS should be fact-checking and sleuthing her testimony just in case some tiny detail gets past Super Juan. Not that I think anything will. Just sayin!
Whoa.......well, there's truth in every lie, right? So Bobby and Victor do indeed exist. I feel like this is nothing but a game to her. Like all she wants to do is mind-fck all of us. She loves that she is in the drivers seat & we will never know the real story...

I watched DD tonight and waited for you to speak. You know what happened is he would ask Katie a question and then he would ask Carol a question. Who the heck is Carol ????? He is such a GOOF.
Chakti! That wasn't me! lol I wasn't there today. But I'll be there tomorrow.
Ahhh thank you! Wow shut down for a year? There was a warning to shut this thread down by the Co-Owner but I just though it would be for a day or two.
We leave on Vacation on the 24th. It has to be over.
I was out most of day and skimmed....found three thanks for this, but cannot find original. Perhaps from previos thread? Can it be bumped?
:blushing: Gosh, thanks Lotus - sometimes I wonder if anyone reads my LONG posts! LOL
On the Caylee case we had a thread to de-bunk the lies in jose baez' book (her attorney for those who don't know the case......wait, is that possible???) anyway, I think it might be a great thread to have for this case -- Debunk the discrepancies on the stand! (Between Jodi and Gus we could keep the mods really busy - and I am sure they are just bored silly!)
I really think jodi is telling us so much about the crime and her own psychopathy.
BTW - when I don't capitalize a name it is my own way of showing disgust for the player. I will however be proper sometimes when I am trying to really make a point like an Amazon review or one of my LONG posts!
Nights all - hope I don't wake up having to write down something to sleuth in the am like I did last night about that author! :banghead: Why do we do this? Because we care! Because some of us know all to well the pain and to give a HUGE HUG to someone like FLOATING or a family member, when they have the courage to share their story and step out of the isolation.
For Floating - a quote that resonates to me in a manner in which I don't think the author intended.......but that I think you will get.

Does anyone know what the cost is to be allowed to "enter" PPL? From whom did Jodi scam this "entrance fee"? TIA
