mommaJack what is your weather like for searching?
I kinda wonder about the mystery man who took the poly also. I wonder who it is.
I kinda find it odd that the neighbor knew that Hailey is outside on the phone all the time. Why the need to go outside on the phone. I normally only do that to really talk in private when my kids are around.
I am not savvy on phones. Are I phones like a blackberry?
I must read about them.
I can get internet on my phone but costs extra money each month.
IIRC I pay $60. a month for that extra service on my netbook from Verizon.
That's allot for a child.

not sure about the fast food places we only have sonic, dairy queen and subway as fast food.can any locals go for a drive with their smart phones or laptops and see if there is any unsecured networks I'm doubting the motel is, but our fast food places offer it, and i have several neighbors who don't secure theirs.
Depends on who you are talking to and how proud you are of your Texas accent! I tend to let my roots show with more of a natural Texas accent when speaking with others who have the drawl. I think most in C-City would say "Colo-RAY-doh".
My hubby lived in Colorado, the state... he pronounces it Col-o-RAD-o, not the long 'a'.... while I and most Texans pronounce it Col-o-RAH-do. I once told him that only the people who actually live in the state pronounce it the way he does, everybody else uses the 'rah' sound.
I have no idea how the folks from C-City pronounce it, though.

i have tmobile and i cannot get 3g in this area. dont know about any other carriers except for verizon that does for sure.Passion, I think that it was discussed a couple of threads ago that you can access the internet on the iPod Touch without paying extra, as long as you have an internet connection somehow. The 3G (or 4G?) service is available on some models, much like your netbook, and, yes, that would cost more money.
I don't have one so I'm going off of Apple's website and what others here have said. HTH...
thats what i thought, of corse tell her after, but not before. i wonder who told her that?HLN (Robin's morning express show)
just stated that Billie being told that SA failed his test,
caused her emotional stress that affected her poly.
Billie said she just 'lost it'...........yep, who wouldn't???
Why would 'professionals' tell anyone that was next in line such news knowing it could effect the test???
About 30 years ago (!) when I was in University, I worked part time at a sandwich shop in the small town where the school was located. There was a theft of some money from the cash till. In order to find out who took the $$, the owner of the shop actually had all of us employees take a lie detector test. I was 19 to 20 years old at the time, a thousand or so miles away from home and had not much of a support system. Shop employees had gossiped about who had taken the money-- I vaguely remember that it was said that the thief was some guy on an earlier shift that I barely knew who only had worked there a month or two. It was said that he took the $$ and split town.
The day of the test, one of my friends gave me a joint to smoke (I barely ever got high, but during the 6 month period I worked at the store, I smoked pot a few times as all the night shift employees would hang out outside after the store closed and smoke a bit before we went home and I went along with the crowd a few times.)
I went to take the test in a nearby town. It was administered in an almost empty room-- 2 chairs and a table with the polygraph machine- by a man I had never met before. I was very nervous and a little high. It turns out my answer to one of the questions registered something (-- I believe this question had to do with the theft and if I knew who had taken the $$.) Of course, no one from the shop ever just asked me point blank if I knew or heard anything about the theft! They eventually figured out who took the money, but they also fired me and another employee based on our "deceptive" answers.
Later that year I did a research paper on lie detector tests for a psychology class I was taking. I found out that the tests are only as good as the individual who administers the test. This, of course, was 30 years ago, and I am sure that with new technology, these tests are much more accurate than they were when I took one. But I am sure that BD's answers were skewed by the fact she had just heard that her boyfriend had failed his. I imagine she must have been confused and highly emotional going in to take the test. The bf, however, I wonder about and have had my suspicions about him since the beginning. JMHO.
Technical question for the locals- do You say the Colorado in Colorado City like the State of Colorado, or like the city of Laredo like Nancy Grace was last night? It peaked my interest every time she said it last night!
