SIDEBAR #57 - Travis Alexander forum

[Hope4More]

It does make me feel good helping others.. I'm telling you. But I did a faux pas. Asking Muslims to stay with a single woman in her house was not correct but I bet they understood even though they would never accept it silly me.

Again this was the family that was there first for me of all my neighbors when my fiance died helping me out. I feel so stupid now asking Muslims to stay in a house of a single woman that is so inappropriate I think. Grrrr but I didn't have the presence of mind to realize that before I offered.

They were there for you when you lost your fiancée. That makes them good people. Like you. Good people understand gestures that come from the heart, as yours did.

Somehow I imagine that in those moments you felt you should have been more sensitive, those other good folks were thinking...what an amazingly gracious, warm, and lovely offer. Hope we don't hurt her feelings or embarrass her by explaining why we can't accept.....

I'm glad the universe aligned just right for you and your neighbors to come together at the perfect moment.

I talked to one of my neighbors and she is Hindu and she did not know how to cook for a Muslim except making a rice dish which I knew would not be to their expectations.

So I did the southern thing.

I mowed their yard of alllllll the leaves and put pine straw all around there trees and natural areas. So when their guests come to visit for respects to their home.. that it would look nice .

Its a southern thing we always want our yard to look nice when people come to visit and I do yard work off and so I knew I could do that well.

As I was finishing up she came home and her son came home from college.

My heart goes out to her because I know I was downward spiral for 2 years when my mother died.

ETA .. And I would have never known to even be there for her unless I did the cookies. Telling you guys.. do something for other people and it will make you feel better although it will make you feel sad at the same time.

And you never know when karma will make you be there when someone else is in need.

ETA #2 I also cleaned my house and told them if they have people coming in from out of town like the brother who lives near but out of town that they can stay at my house ... I have a separate floor plan and they can have the other side of the house and two bedrooms for anyone out of town

ATL, you are WONDERFUL !!!

NINER....


L. Nurmi was untruthful in his book about that text. Travis did NOT send a text inviting the killer to his house. That did not happen, as Nurmi later admitted directly to Beth Karas during her little interview thingy with him.

After May 22 Travis never initiated contact with her at all. She texted him a handful of times after May 26. He only replied a couple of times and his replies were short, curt , and unwelcoming of further contact.

She called him 15x en route to kill him, he ignored the first dozen then finally relented. They seemed to have spoken twice by phone while she was still in CA , on June 2, not long conversations which could have been about many things, not one of them being an invitation to his house.

If anything, IMO, the fact that she turned off her phone all the time she was in AZ says he did NOT expect her. On other occasions when she was driving long distances he stayed in pretty frequent contact with her, monitoring her progress and checking on her safety as she seems to have been a piss-poor driver.

Quick question...

Does anybody else remember reading that the poster Katydid had passed away??
I'm 100% sure I saw it here in the sidebar...I don't think it was a regular poster ??
YESorNO this is right up your ally, did you read it too, or can you find it for me??? Cause I see that Katydid is still posting and now I am really confused. I hope it's NOT true.
It seems like I read it not too long ago.

I feel like I'm kind of channeling both ATL and YorN here, but here you go:

I love this quote from one of the entries: "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

What a great attitude for a young person to have...

Legally Speaking: Kirk Nurmi Interview - Part 5 (final)

[video=youtube;uBljQh-_A_Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBljQh-_A_Q[/video]

I am not going to speak ill of a man who is ill but I can't help but stare at the photos of Nurmi with his bald head. I wonder how he lost his hair through chemo but managed to keep his eyebrows and mustache. My friend in chemo lost not only the hair on his head but his facial hair as well.

Could it be that they were given different drug cocktails? Or what?

Sorry- can't hep you, my dear.

I haven't read that Katydid passed away and don't remember seeing that posted here. Charterhouse has passed away tho'. She's the last person that passed away that I noticed downstairs in the Rest in Peace thread : http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?427-Rest-In-Peace-We-Will-Miss-You
(looks like there is another person )

==================================

Please note (for anyone reading my notes)

I was out gallivanting today, doing a little Christmas shopping and such, so my notes on Laurence's book are not ready to post (tomorrow tho' )

I read the Katydid death post just a few days ago. I only read the Travis threads so it had to be in here.

I would not worry about Muslim protocol. There are many Muslims who would jump to the conclusion that it would be inappropriate for a single woman to stay in a Christian household, because they've watched 19 kids and Counting. I have Muslim friends that are the dearest people I've ever met. They wouldn't have put any stock in a concept where a single woman should be alone after her fiancée had died. Widowed Muslim women tend to be well taken care of, IME.

There is a Katydid and a Katydid23. Katydid has died. Not our Katydid23. Obviously!

It could be the prednisone he is taking along with his chemo that has kept his eyebrows and mustache. Not sure, but it may be different drugs as you suggested. Chemo is pretty specific per type. Did your friend have Non Hodgkins Lymphoma?

Aaaaah. All is clear now. Thanks, Zuri!

It was here in the SB and Niner posted the passing of katydid.

ATL put me in the mood to bake Xmas cookies for some neighbors, and that's what I did while the Hanukkah candles were burning. Is that too weird?

 

[Niner]

Do you have another cousin for me???
:happydance::happydance::happydance:

Since you're Swiss - maybe we can be cousin-in-laws! :happydance:

:blush: that would have been me... another :blush:

I did see on Facebook that a KatyDid died - don't know the #s behind that name. I believe it was on Websleuths' Facebook page and I brought it over here.

And Yes - I did see a KatyDid post on the other thread - and I'm going.... :waiting: a sec.... Let me go find it - It might be tomorrow that I verify what I saw!

Okay - thanks for clearing that up - I should read all the posts at once, and not one at a time... :blush:

Question, my sisters great nephew on her husbands side has gone missing. He has some mental issues but I don't think anyone cared enough about him to get him help. His mom died when he was thirteen and lived with his grandparents, who again didn't do much for him. His grandmother died five years ago and he continued to live with his grandfather (my brother in law's brother). He worked at a Walmart doing the shopping carts, but got fired because he smelled so bad and wouldn't take baths, anyway some group ? organisational? trade school? took him in. he joined and it was up in Oklahoma and you could not leave the place for a year. No family visits either. So, real place or a cult?
