Who am I to interfere with nature? Of course these furry little fellas aren't above a bit of scavenging on carrion,so, the opportunities are endless...

Sammy,
I was going to warn you about the treachorous undertow, the rocks, the wooden hull of the ship you're captaining, the cold clammy depths of the water you choose to navigate and most importantly the Sirene that calls you near, but, what the hell kid it's your boat. If you want to smash it on the rocks and drown in the deep water, it's your choice. You've been chasing this Mermaid all over the cape. I Personally won't go past my waist out there, I can't swim in those depths for long...Why the hell didn't you tell me you played the mandoline? If you survive this little three hour tour your about to go on with out getting Moron'd (whoops, Marooned) will have to get together. I'll bring my banjitar and we can sing viking songs about Merman and what not... ; )

Confusing too is that she saw Maura at the car 1-2 minutes before police arrived. Maybe Maura did go around the corner and get into some vehicle? i also have at least one article in which butch is quoted as saying he observed several vehicles pass by when he was at his house trying to get ahold of 911. so faith may not have seen any cars while butch was there in his bus, but butch indicates several cars passed through once he was at his house.

Mandolin Orchestra? Chopin? Phantom of the Opera? NOOOO sir! No, what we need here, folks, is a rock opera!!! So come on party people -- put your hands in the air. Shake it like you just don't care.(Cuz you don't!). Shake it like it's 1974, or 1988 -- I don't care. Work it and twerk it like Miley Cyrus at the VMA's. C'mon Ridiculous, grab Granny's hand. Everyone grab a partner and do-si-do, if that suits your fancy.

just me wrote: <quoted text>Theory 1, suicide. The night Maura smashed into the guardrail, she was super apologetic. She kept saying she was sorry and told her dad "this is the worst ever" Billy thought "it had to be something else" and it took him "a long time to calm Maura down." That was Sunday in the wee hours before dawn. Maura went to work six or seven hours later. In that short timeframe she made the long call to Billy, slept, woke to explain things to her father, and whatever it took to get ready for work. Fred picked her up and dropped her off at the dorm after work. They said their goodbyes. His lasting impression was that "Maura felt she had let her father down." Then, Maura spoke to both Billy and Kathleen a couple few hours before the 11 o'clock call to her dad. After denying that there was anything outstanding in the conversation with her sister that evening, Kathleen later says that Maura *had* been having trouble with Billy and that she probably went to the White mountains to sort it all out.(Caledonian article)Now, Sharon swore that everything was hunky dory after the rough period in 2001 or 2. But think of this. In the summer of 03, she was staying with the coach. The one who says that Maura "wished she could disappear" Her friends,(but maybe not all of them) wanted her to get away from Billy, and so she was,~at least for several months in 03. By the fall however, Billy and Maura came back to one another, and went hiking along with Fred. As for not staying at the dorm to kill herself, or driving into oncoming traffic down the road from the dorm.....I think she did want to go to her "favorite place on earth" and put all the issues into perspective. If she was already in the process of giving up, she would not want for anyone to find her that way.(to find her lifeless) In other words, would rather go to a place where she would never be seen again, and somewhere that really mattered to her. You have always made a strong argument for this theory, in my opinion. My problem with the suicide theory is that even if she set out to kill herself, there is no way of knowing if she followed through with this plan. It is possible that she caught a ride with the intention of carrying out her suicide plan, but that this person harmed her. It is also possible that she changed her mind and her plans after the accident. I've had many theories, all of which have too many holes. Out of all the reasonable theories, I think they are all possible but that there is not enough information known to the public to be dead set on one theory over any other.

Beagle wrote: Airbags are one of the more expensive parts of a car to replace. Assuming you carry collision coverage, your insurance carrier may total out your car based on the cost to repair vs the value of the vehicle. If your car is not worth that much, you may just wish to withdraw the claim, cut out the airbags and continue to drive your vehicle. I would probably drop collision coverage and save that money for a new car. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index...

BillNH wrote: I would like to make another request of the group. After reading whatif's post I noticed something interesting, or at least I think so. I will start looking back through some past posts from all sources to see if it exists elsewhere but in the meantime please look at those 4 theories and tell me if anything jumps out at you? Sorry if I am being vague but I also don't want to influence the thought process. If it's not as apparent to others then I will keep it to myself. I am also not sure what the ultimate conclusion I will be able to draw from the analysis is. I would appreciate anyone's participation, all I ask is that those participating please take it seriously. Whaif, I am not picking on your post by any means but the way you wrote it easily lends itself to this type of analysis. I still believe it was a very good post and was exactly what I was looking for when I asked the question. BillNH – unlike some folks who post, i don't take myself or my theories so seriously to take offense if others disagree or tear apart my arguments. i actually quite prefer it as a matter of intellectual exercise. it is truly a baffling case, and anyone who thinks they know more than anyone else is either ridiculously naive or arrogantly narcissistic. i do hope that, even if no one else picks up on what your hinting at, you will still share your thoughts in the interest of challenging theories and ideas. i won't at all feel picked on and would welcome the opportunity to have my thinking on these theories broadened.

Ridiculous wrote: Now Granny, I know your a warrior and given the opportunity, you are more than willing to take anyone on in a one on one fist fight. Lord knows you've challenged me multiple times. In fact, the more I ignore these challenges, the tougher you get. It scares the crap out of me frankly. It occurs to me that you get a little drunk when posting here and sometimes you just throw caution to the wind. Upon reading your recent posts, I have some concerns; As you know, your name and address have been posted at this site. Knowing what I now know about the deviants and scumbags that are literally swarming your area, I beg of you, for your own safety, to please tone down your comments. As I said, it's very obvious that you are a warrior and very capable as a pugilist, but, having dealt with some deviant scumbags in the past, I wish to advise you that these people, while twisted, are still capable of planning and successfully pulling off acts of violence against even the mightiest of warriors. If you've ever seen a pack of coyotes attack larger prey, you'll notice that they dont go for the juglar at first. A couple of "dogs" will distract the intended victim with a frontal assault, while staying well away from actual harm while the remainder of the pack darts in and hamstrings the victim. It's cowardly I suppose but extremely affective. I'm just very concerned that these last few posts of yours, having been echoed from the very bowels of the coyotes den, will get you hamstringed and noone wants to see that happen. On a totally different note; I appreciate your concern over the families unwillingness to take me on vacation with them. It was very hard to accept,but after having raised my boys to be haters, I take responsibilty for the situation and intend to lecture on it next friday when my youngest gets his award at school for his summer anti bullying campaign.. xoxo Karma police, arrest this girl Her Hitler hairdo is Making me feel ill And we have crashed her party (Shoutout to Santa Clara, CA!!!)
