Newbie Club Thread

You're right and the main game is the Keep up Appearances game.
1.Pretend to be the perfect extended family. No tension / no strife in this family.
2. Pretend outwardly to treat each other with respect. No lying / no screaming so loud the neighbors can hear in this family.

3.Pretend to believe your daughter when she says she hasn't seen your grandbaby since she left her with the sitter who doesn't exist. And she has no idea where she is now, except that first she is safe and near, and then she is in danger. Believe her even though she has been sitting in jail all this time and has no way of knowing either way.

4.Pretend that you have "information" given to you by Casey that you cannot reveal , even though all visits have been recorded on video and we have heard all that was said.

5.Pretend, Keep up Appearances and pretend some more.

6.Pretend now that you know someone kidnapped Caylee and "they" are being watched. They know they are being watched , but that no one bothers to tell LE where they are so that they can rescue the poor child from the kidnappers.

7.For the love of that helpless baby, cut the crap and tell Casey that for once in her life someone matters more than she does, and until she starts speaking plain english instead of "Anthonyspeak" and tells LE and her family everything that she knows (the truth) about Caylee's disappearance she will get no support ,none, financially or emotionally until then.
:steamed:

Do you think there is anything that would make Casey talk? Or do you think she has made her peace with the situation as it is? I think she will never talk, she may spend the rest of her life in prison :behindbarbut I don't think she'll ever cop to what really happened. I think she may have actually started to belive the lies she's been spewing. :furious: Makes me wonder if we'll EVER know what really happened to poor Caylee?

It's good to know that there is a thread for us newbies....When I post in the other threads, I feel like I am stepping on toes, and I don't feel welcome...I've only posted a few times, but I have followed this case from the beginning, I am close to giving up on WS, but maybe I will feel a little more welcome among other newbies like myself...Not trying to complain about anyone, I just don't feel like my thoughts or opinions are welcome in the main threads....Does anyone else get that feeling, or am I just a little too sensitive?

I wouldn't take it personally.

I'm serially ignored, too.

I don't think you are alone, I believe that was a big reason is starting this thread, so that every poster would feel comfortable posting, without getting any grief. IMO it's not just the pre-Caylee posters who have been rude, some of the newbies are just as guilty of making others feel uncomfortable posting. Not trying to sound like a trouble maker, but I don't think it's fair for us newbies to say that all of the newbies are being treated badly, some of the newbies have been just as rude in some of the other threads I've been in. I think it would be a good idea for everyone to read or reread the TOS and try to make EVERY poster feel comfortable. This is about finding Caylee, not nitpicking other people's opinions. I also hope that the newbies don't feel like they have to stay in the newbie thread, that once they feel comfortable posting they can make their way out to the other threads. :blowkiss: Love to all the posters here! I look forward to hearing all of the comments from everyone, I learn something new everyday here. WS is great, if we all use it correctly. Sorry, that was kind of a rant, but something I noticed and wanted to say!

Well, to quote Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, "I will not be ignored, Dan."

New Newbie Mantra: We will not be ignored. :crazy:
Go forth onto all threads and multiply. or post. or something like that!:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
Newbie Power!

 

[SusieClue]

Okay...so anybody know how to close a thread and start a new one?
Cause, um, I'm a newbie and I don't know.:drink:

I told my wife I was going to do this and now ....I've done it!!! My first post! I have been a lurker like many of you but only since this heart wrenching case. I have been brought out of the woodwork and have that sweet face and smile of Caylee in my heart and on my mind. I too have been terrified to post on the "oldies" thread for fear of a squashing! SusiClue I have "no clue" how to clse or start a thread for that matter...

[redmamatwo]

I would just start a new thread and tell people how to get there. I emailed Tricia, maybe she can close it. IDK! I'm a newbie too! ha ha ha

You are not deliberately being ignored. It happens to me, too. Sometimes I'll ask a question or comment on something and it's like my post is invisible. If it ends up being something that I really want to know the answer to I will post it again .. and then if that doesn't work..........

HEY GUYS, SOMEONE ANSWER ME PLEASE

usually gets a response.

 

[keeponsearching]

Hi,
I went away for a few hours.. Hoping to see new info when I return.. But looks like nothing really.

Susie I think you just open a new one then im a mod to close this one.

 

[keeponsearching]

I have been on other forums before.. Never one like this. But if you just post, post , post.. People will start to remember you and I guess thats how it goes to getting involved more and feeling welcomed.

I am so thankful for the newbie place!

Me too! Well said! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

I fear you may be right.

I think Casey will eventually talk, but only to save her own skin with a deal. she's doing exactly what her attny. says. while G&C run their mouths in circles, she's staying quiet which will probably be the only thing that saves her. I think she shut up after George's proclamation last Sunday, August 3....(she's CLOSE, Dad).

Casey's only concerned with Casey, she has no interest or remorse in what happened to her child, it's done and over. JMHO.

:Welcome-12-june: All Newbies! I am a relatively new poster. tho I lurked here for years! I'll admit that sometimes I have felt ignored, or was afraid to post- sometimes I felt like the kid on the playground that no one wanted to pick for their team of red rover (LOL)!

I have found that, after reading the posts, there is someone who I generally agree with, or find funny and will quote their posts and respond to them, or just lead my post by acknowledging them specifically and that usually gets a response! This forum just moves so danged fast that not every post is seen- so don't take it personally. And if someone is ugly to you (which is usually pretty rare) don't egg em on and take up bandwidth- just ignore them!

I think this Newbie thread is a GREAT Idea- there should be one that is always up on the main forum somewhere!:blowkiss:

 

[Kat1124]

Hi Newbies! Thanks for starting this thread, so us new people who don't know what we're doing can post without fear of reprisal. Although, I'm afraid I am that red-headed stepchild that someone alluded to the other day!

I just thought of this quote that reminded me of Casey Anthony:

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
Scottish author & novelist (1771 - 1832)

Come on Casey, it's time to tell what you know. Bring that beautiful baby home.

 

[SusieClue]

Others elsewhere have made this connection...but I thought it was worth putting the pictures together for a look see.... This is Madeline Chatt - JP's sister (obviously, when she was younger) and a picture of Caylee.

I think this cinches the theory (for me, anyway) that JP is Dad.

If you look up her Facebook account, it is interesting how many Gonzalez's are friends or friends of friends, etc... which makes sense as that is the case with J.P. too - they are originally from Puerto Rico. I'll expand later on my latest theory with regards to all of this.....must run!

 

[Juliana]

Hi Newbies, I'm dying to know this but can't find the info in the other threads. I keep reading references to a neighbor giving statements (seems like maybe the neighbor heard arguments between GPs and Casey, but I can't tell for sure). What's the deal with that?

Welcome to all....:blowkiss: I'm glad to have this thread!!!
