I fear that once the Dr Phil money runs out...the show will return. But this time round, I doubt that many will listen. Old news and too much competition for air time.

OMG! Yathink? What could they possibly say??? :banghead:

I was just sitting here thinking it's pretty quiet and whenever I think that - something does happen - please just don't let it be that!

RBBM. My optimistic nature would love to believe this, logicalgirl, but, lol, my newborn skepticism makes me laugh at any attempt to join anything subliminal with Jose Baez's name!

. . . and, yeah, Jose ( :seeya: ), how's that all working for you? Gettin' rich yet? No? The book didn't do well? Maybe it was just a labor of love to set the record straight and worth the loss you took? Just like the great financial loss you insinuate from the cost of the defense? Huh? Caylee's pictures and Florida's tax payers' money didn't bring in enough to cover it all? The "bar" appearances aren't paying enough to keep those house payments under control? Perhaps this is not really the martyrdom that you try to paint it as ~ but just your whispering introduction to karma.

But don't worry! You will still get calls from questionable characters like the second most infamous guy in Aruba and blood money seekers from the Black Knight tragedy. You have established your reputation well. After all, I have to admit that you do deserve the notoriety. And karma is patient . . .

ETA: I wonder ~ do you suppose Jose Baez charged the state of Florida for the saw he bought on that Christmas Eve or do you think he sacrificed his own money (martyr to justice that he is!)?

I have read everything about JFK I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember, and everything King since he started being published, so I knew we'd be a good match, but this book is amazing. I'm nowhere near the end, but, so far, it's in the running for one of my favorite King novels of all time.

I would recommend this story in a heartbeat! (And I can be a pretty big critic of books....just ask JB. Haha!)

I agree, I'll read anything about JFK, and especially Jaqueline Kennedy. I haven't read many Stephan King books, the ones I have read I have enjoyed. Now his books really are hard to put down. I have enjoyed watching how the making of his movies have changed through the years. I think I will order this book along with In The Woods by Tana French (thanks LG) I need to get two books at a time so I will always have one waiting for me :-)
 
I must say that fall has arrived in this part of NJ... I opened my front door earlier and thank goodness I looked - because two very large tree spiders had spun enormous webs across the frame...Yikes.. they are nasty looking fellas, harmless, but scary.

pont taken....just wondered if it was at all possible that lawyers wanted to have a closer look at who had actually done this atrocity...

Yes, up here on the West Coast also - chilly in the mornings, very warm during the day and coolish sweater syle evenings also. But I love love love the fall. Always feel super-energetic after a blobby laying around summer.
 
Could you all send some of the weather this way to Arizona. It has colled done some but it's still HOT! I've been getting in the pool at night. It is beautiful and night, especially with the full moon

You should check your library - that's what I just did with Jose's book and it will be available 9/25/12, and I would be first on the list... I cancelled right away!! :seeya: Jose!

Me too, FaerieB! I've probably read the same books! For some reason I HAVE to, watched the whole post-assassination on TV back then - on a black and white, of course! LOL!

Thanks, okiedokietoo. I also saw that you posted that payment was made toward money she owed? I'm sure this must be old news...but where the heck did she get any money to pay this??!! What have I missed? Did someone else make payments for her?

They will probably pay him with a free ham sandwich, and he didn't even get top billing on the panel. This is no big whoop to me, I see it simply as him trying to etch out a living. Book tanked, no more trips to NYC, no TV spots and probably no phone calls being returned - he has bills to pay too.

eta: hahahahaha....I just cracked myself up what my last line...

:floorlaugh: Cracked me up too!
K, thank goodness I am in the real world & not the twilight zone after all.
I just need to keep reminding myself that Baez only wishes we were all in the twilight zone where he would be the hero on the white horse with people throwing money & fame his way.:floorlaugh:
Never going to happen.

-------------------Hi LogicalGirl, want to hear a good one?
I have used Combivent Rescue inhaler for years. My Anthem never paid much toward it so I get it thru Canada. Well I slipped up ordering needed one right away. Now Anthem pays nothing, they dont carry it anymore. So, i would have to pay 220.00 for one! From Canada I pay 75.00 for three of them.This is since the price caps were taken off pharmaceuticals.My Doctor phoned the pharmacy and ordered something else for me. I am very aggraviated by this.


Sorry about off topic..no more...:please:
