    Amanda, good point, and I’m just wondering if they may have been denied and are still trying to obtain it. Don’t really have a clue and I don’t know how long the approval normally takes, even with a backlog as Sharon said. I’m also wondering if there is an application in a name or title of which we aren’t aware.

    Noway, exactly! Why wouldn’t he want them to testify if he was inoocent?? That speaks volumes to me. I can understand, only to a point, about him wanting them to have an attorney, but the truth is the truth. If he has nothing to hide, then let them tell it!!

    BTW, yes I’ve seen Sharon and Carol on interviews stating application has been made and they’ve not been assigned tax exempt status yet, so I guess in effect they have stated that.

    But we cannot discount all the information that amandareckonwith had. She gave phone numbers and names of the people she talked with.

    I do wish that someone from FSP would address that (assuming they’ve read it here or someone has sent it along to them).

    Noway, I totally agree with what you said about Amanda. I just thought maybe someone would point out to me what Sharon and Carol said. Like I saidthe other night on here……”they” need some emergency PR, or the membership is going to decline, and so are the donations, with the site maybe following. I wish somebody in authority should speak out and defend their position on this.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:00 am

    Oops … something happened with my copy/paste.

    Wanted this too.

    amandareckonwith, on May 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am Said:
    According to the IRS, Sharon and Carol lied.

    I know I am not the only person who called, same results. The IRS says they are not eligible for 501(c)3) and the feds are the ones who regulate it, not the state.

    Now, for the state, I called SAG, went to site. Called SOS, went to site. Same deal. No records of anything regarding the name of Stacy Peterson.

    If an app was made, who’s name was used? It wasn’t our Miss Stacy.

    If they keep the silence, then there it is.

    If they have an explanation, let’s hear it.

  • settingitstraight // May 14, 2008 at 9:23 am

    I’ve been watching this for awhile and can’t keep quiet anymore. Everyday I see more and more false statements or outright lies.

    Either Amanda is lying or she talked to someone that didn’t know what they heck they were doing.

    We called to double check yesterday after seeing everything posted here by Amanda. The application has in fact been received, along with our money order for the application fee, and is in the expedited line. Apparently something was missing though and they didn’t bother to notify us. So that has been resolved and our application is going forward.

    No we do not have an approval letter in our hand, however we’re told that there is no reason to believe we won’t be approved and are allowed to operate as a non-profit until notified otherwise. We DO have a TIN and that HAS been given to anyone that asked.

    No the IRS or ISP did not shut our site down yesterday. That gave us a great laugh, by the way. Hilarious! It was a problem with the server. Some wild imaginations you guys have here.

    JIC’s travel expenses were not paid for by FSP. SOMEONE made this same claim at the last fundraiser, which is exactly why she kept it quiet that she was even coming in for this one. She is not our spokesperson. She is just a forum member that has been very supportive of the family. Why do you have a problem with that?

    Searches ARE still going on. Multiple days per week. They just aren’t made public. They are being done by professionals right now. Not every area that needs to be searched can be done by your average everyday volunteer searcher. Why do you have a problem with that?

    Hey sami, wordpress isn’t giving up your IP. Nor anyone else’s IPs. It’s not that difficult to figure out who you are over there. Or which “guest” you are. You’re not very smart about it. You guys make it so obvious.

    You all need to get lives. Why do you feel the need to spend so much time badmouthing a group trying to find a missing woman? Why do you get so pissy when others bad mouth the person that made her go missing? Who’s side are you on anyway?

  • truthisthere // May 14, 2008 at 9:25 am

    Does anyone know what happened to all the cats in Coffee Talk? Were they just turned loose to fend for themselfs? Were they put down? Is PETA aware of this?

    When you click the Paypal button for the SP fund, your money goes to Friends of Stacy Peterson.

    Therefore, I would conclude the applications are in that name.

    Again, I do not know if anything is illegal.

    But I’d call it deception.

    And I really hope there is a valid explanation, not just more piss on my leg.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:32 am

    settingitstraight, thank you. But how do we know you are an official source?

    Could you provide the names of the people and organization you talked with? I ask because Amanda provided that to give credence to what she was told.

    It does seem like you are talking to two different organizations. And it was pointed out that when you call the IRS 5 times, you might get 5 different answers to your questions.

    The “get a life” phrase is getting old, as is “whose side are you on?”

    I guess I would have to say that I am on the side of justice. IMO Drew is guilty and that would mean I was on Stacy’s side.

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 9:33 am

    settingitstraight

    we were under the impression per Admins directive that noone from FSP committee or board goes on any other board representing them. has that changed? ill be happy to take ur word on it if u r indeed a committee member. a little confusing since Admin specifically stated that no member there can or will represent them on other boards.

    as far as u “calling me out” i think u need to check ur guest list again. i am not on it, havent been for awhile. i also wasnt the only one asking about ip’s.

    who’s side are we on? we’re on the side of the entire truth. why r we not allowed to ask questions about behaviors of both sides? nothing wrong with that.

  • settingitstraight // May 14, 2008 at 9:36 am

    Admin was directing that at the people posting elsewhere CLAIMING to be someone from the committee. And I’m not here claiming to represent anyone. Just setting the record straight.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:36 am

    If you don’t want to provide that information here, perhaps you could call Laura (sorry don’t remember anything other than her name) and tell her who she SHOULD be having people contact if they have questions about the tax status.

  • truthisthere // May 14, 2008 at 9:38 am

    settingitstraight

    Why don’t you tell us who you are or are you afraid to stand behind your words?

    settingitstraight,

    Why don’t you update the amount of the reward on FSP? in the Facts section where you say it is 25,000?

    settingitstraight,

    How is JIC very supportive of the family when in pms and bashing she has run off more members then anyone else. Do you know she sends out PMs telling people who they can talk to and who they can’t? If they admit they are friends with someone she will get them banned.

    settingitstraight,

    How hard would it be just to post the total of the money you have taken in on paypal?? Why are you hiding it. You can go in and look at the total on the history of paypal and copy and paste it very easy, takes about 30 seconds. Why don’t you do that?

  • cfs7360 // May 14, 2008 at 9:38 am

    Settingitstraight, I for one appreciate your letting everyone know what is going on about the tax exempt status, and it’s actually a relief to know it’s being finalized. As for all of us, we don’t all agree on lots of things about this case, but are free to express our disagreements here in a reasonable fashion without fear of being banned, as many of these posters have been. Bad mouthing Drew is just part of this whole scenario if you happen to believe he’s responsible for what happened to these two women, and most of the people here seem to believe that. I understand you’re feeling like you have the right to come on here and tell us:

    You all need to get lives. Why do you feel the need to spend so much time badmouthing a group trying to find a missing woman? Why do you get so pissy when others bad mouth the person that made her go missing? Who’s side are you on anyway?
    However, I doubt that anyone on here could come to FSP and post the same thing that you just wrote on this site without being banned. That’s the great thing about being on here and is exactly why I didn’t join FSP, even though I think it has a lot of good information.

    Thanks again for you post. I really do appreciate your taking the time to inform this site of the things you addressed.

    This makes it sound like you are part of “We” and that “We” is the board or board members or Sharon or Cass of FSP.

    If you want to put all the speculation to rest, provide the name/organization of the person who should be contacted.

    Otherwise, you’ve just added fuel to the fire for some.

  • settingitstraight // May 14, 2008 at 9:39 am

    It seems to me that none of you want FSP’s name cleared. You WANT FSP to be the bad guy. And no matter the outcome or answers you won’t be happy unless you can turn it around to make FSP look bad. It’s obvious that it’s pointless to try to defend FSP to people that don’t want it defended. So I’m done here.

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 9:40 am

    settingitstraight, u did say “our” money order. that could make anyone believe u represent fsp.

  • amandareckonwith // May 14, 2008 at 9:43 am

    settingitstraight, who are you?

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:46 am

    Settingitstraight, does FSP’s name need to be cleared?

    All you need to do to satisfy the people with questions about the tax status is to provide the name of the organization or agency you are dealing with.

    If you won’t do that, I do have to question your motive for posting here.

    You are not “setting it straight” at all.

    We did not accept Amanda’s information just because she said she had talked with those offices. She provided names and phone numbers.

    If she is being given incorrect information, then I imagine other people are too.

    Hit and run baby, hit and run! Credibility…gone.

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 9:49 am

    amandar gave us more info than anyone so far. depts, names & #’s. if someone gave her the wrong info out of all those places she seems the type that would admit it. if you’d give names & #’s to check that would carry some weight here im sure.

  • amandareckonwith // May 14, 2008 at 9:49 am

    I made the calls, I took names. I posted numbers and names.

    Call them and ask for yourself.

    Better yet, if you feel I am a liar, please conduct your own internet search and call the numbers provided for the agencies that would or could possibly be in charge of this.

    I did that.

    As I did, I was seriously hoping I could come back here and to kimmers forum and say “here is the correct info”.

    Believe me. There is NO WAY I wanted this to be this way.

    BUT—- WHAT I WANT IS THE TRUTH.

  • kimmer78 // May 14, 2008 at 9:50 am

    Why not just tell the truth and garner more support for this missing woman? More people have been driven away by the implication of impropriety than anything. Why do you want to drive people away from finding this woman by not being honest?

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:51 am

    I don’t think that person had anything to do with FSP. At least not in an official capacity.

    I think that poster was meant to add fuel to the fire and keep us talking about the tax status.

    Could we move onto something else until we get names of person and organization that provided settingitstraight with the information she has?

  • amandareckonwith // May 14, 2008 at 9:51 am

    Adding here, if I am incorrect and you can send me the proof, I will be happy to publicly state an apology.

    My info came directly from the agencies IL SAG, IL SOS, IRS Dept for Tax-Exempt Business. Call and ask. I did not pull it out of thin air.

  • bbismytown // May 14, 2008 at 9:52 am

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 9:52 am

    i cant speak for anyone else but i wouldnt ask one more question on the funds if they would just provide the info. i think we would all love to see that its on the up & up but instead of truelly setting the record straight it just ends up as more “whos side are u on” & so on.

    settherecordstraight, we’d all love to see they’re legit but no proof as yet.

  • amandareckonwith // May 14, 2008 at 9:54 am

    Awww noway, I bet you guys are right.
    settingitstraight isn’t any part of FoSP committee or board.

    Those people are the holders of the secrets.

  • freedom08 // May 14, 2008 at 9:59 am

    setitstraight please do just that

    1. put the tax id# on the website next to the donate button
    2. release the financials of all moneys collected and where it has been spent
    3. send each person that has donated a letter stating their donation amount and informing them if it is tax deductable or not

    all LEGIT non profit organizations have no problems putting this information on their website next to the donate button and all LEGIT non profit orgs don’t get all pissy about anyone questioning anything about their non-profit status.
    Hint the key word is LEGIT. Only orgs that have something to hide act as FSP has acted over their non profit status.

    so the ball is in your court, I like Amanda have called the IRS concerning FSP and their non profit status many times over the last several months. Everytime I get the same answer as Amanda has and that is NO record of any non profit status or even application letter being issued for FSP.
    you can’t fool some but not all with your bs now put up or shut up.

    My question is: WHO would want the focus to be off Stacy and on something like the tax status of the FSP?

    J O E L B R O D S K Y

    D R E W P E T E R S O N

    Until ’settingitstraight’ returns with the name/phone of the organization or agency they are dealing with, I cannot believe she is someone who knows.

    And I don’t know she is a “she” … I just get tired of the he/she business.

She is not our spokesperson. She is just a forum member that has been very supportive of the family. Why do you have a problem with that?
    _____________________________

    I have a problem because she couldn’t possibly be supportive of the family when she has run amuck and dived into the personal lives of nearly every single high poster. From obtaining their home phone numbers, to phoning them and telling them she has personal contacts w reporters that she wants them to talk with. I know. She phoned me at my home with that exact purpose. She meddles in places she has no business and is certainly NOT an asset to the efforts of the good people at FSP. I have the posts still in record of her admitting that she had access in reading a private PM that was between myself and a moderator at FSP. IT was the same night that the Mod and I both left the forum on our own free will.

    When I sent mulitple emails to the gmail account asking why, one month later, I was banned, I got no response. Silence. When I sent a message to the moderators through their myspace. Silence. It wasn’t until other forum members sent me anonymous emails of what JIC stated about me that I learned the truth. She blatantly lied. SO how is that supportive to the family? She blew off a very good supporter from your site. Me. Sorry, but I never said an ill word about anyone in any posts.

    She has continued her ruckus and finagaling even to this day. I’m about tired of the emails of members of “your” forum that email me upset over things that I “said” or didn’t say when I have not posted in well over a month now. Hence, 3 posts on one day in two months and this childish immature drama continues. Whether she’s been banned, or suspended is of no concern to me. However, you better look long and hard at ALL the good people who were contributing and the previous efforts of bonding and charisma that everyone maintained at “your” site….prior to the ego-inflation of JIC deciding to want to be the queen of the ball….even as much as to distract others from the good they were doing for Stacy. And you call that Supportive to the family?

    Unless your JIC herself, you had better take a look and have some real conversations with those who have the knowledge and the proof of the PM’s she has sent, the private emails and the overblown accusations she has made…such as the email she sent to me stating that I said “she assaulted me”. That is FAR BEYOND what was stated. I said she “bopped me in the head” 3 times. And if you are from the FSP site. I have a photo taken at the FSP Fundraiser and you can clearly see her leaning over the bat at my head. Email me. You know where to find me. I don’t hide behind false names.

    This is my last post on this. I’m just tired of all the bickerings back and forth…but moreso…I’m tired of the blatant lack of respect that has been placed on lots of good people…including very good people that I personally know and love who do post today at FSP.

    Folks need to grow up. FSP Website needs to be managed by professionals. The forum needs to be outside of the website that upholds the honor of Stacy…because some of the going on’s of late is NOT doing Stacy justice and it is coming from the reflection of what the site is allowing and enabling.

    As for who paid JICS way. Doesn’t matter. I’ve had three different emails telling me they have proof that the FSP paid, one that said her friend paid and can provide the credit card receipt , and another that said she in fact paid for herself and she in fact is willing to show her credit card receipt. Far as I’m concerned. I don’t care anymore who paid and/or what she does. I already know what she has done. That’s enough for me to leave a sour taste in my mouth.

    For God’s sakes. THIS IS ABOUT STACY and KATHLEEN.

  • lavandadolce // May 14, 2008 at 10:19 am

    Either Amanda is lying or she talked to someone that didn’t know what they heck they were doing.

The application has in fact been received, along with our money order for the application fee, and is in the expedited line. Apparently something was missing though and they didn’t bother to notify us. So that has been resolved and our application is going forward.
    _____________________________

    Why would you FIRST accuse Amanda of lying? IF you were a professional person you would have said that Amanda may have been mislead. Why the term “LYING” ? Very unprofessional. At the same time in the next breath you proceed to explain just WHY Amanda got the info she received….because something was wrong with the application and now that it is fixed…it is moving forward. I don’t get this? WHY would you bad-mouth her for questioning what obviously was factual to her as of yesterday? You yourself more or less admitted that by stating that nothing was processed due to something amiss?
    I find it hard to believe this is a professional organization when your post comes across as this. Again…more indications to me that FSP is being run and managed by people who do not have the talent to speak publicly on behalf and represent the FSP board. To laugh at “the IRS shut down the website” is further mocking of somebody elses silly posts and thoughts. IF you were managing a professional organization and expect people to believe that you are in fact a professional….you need to become professional and learn to reply in a professional manner. Without all your snickering and stabbing comments of “you all need to get lives”. Obviously nobody told us to get lives when we were hitting the donate button. We were fine people then. Eh?

  • kimmer78 // May 14, 2008 at 10:25 am

    How can so many people saying the same things be wrong?

  • freedom08 // May 14, 2008 at 10:27 am

    also when sharon claimed the IRS was backlogged and that their site even mentioned it. I had just happened to call that day and guess what no backlog and also no mention of backlog on their website.
    just more lies and why?
    IMO it gives more fuel to the theory that Stacy is not missing.
    add it all up IRS lies, searching LIES, Cass stories not credibitable when you pick them apart. the need to force to public to only think drew is guilty.

    and daddy cales got him a new boat!!

    Again, I do not think this person had anything to do with FSP.

  • freedom08 // May 14, 2008 at 10:37 am

    Freedom, why do you post things like “and daddy cales got him a new boat!!” and then “apparently fsp bought a boat from CA is the rumor I heard”?

    As far as the “antics” at FSP . . . it took me a long time to see how distracting that stuff was (I really am a Bear of Very Little Brain).

    I can only the rest of them see it soon.

    I also went to the Illinois database to check for any record of a “corporation” filed under that name, and it doesnt have any.
    I do not know how their website works regarding “electronic filing”, but in Florida…

    the first step to filing as a non-profit is to go to
    the States buisness site…fill in the Articles of Incorporation for Non-Profit…give them the filing fee and you should be showing on the website within 48 hours as a non-profit entity. It becomes public record.
    To be registered to “solicit” donations, there is another form to fill out from our Dept of Agriculture, which is $10.
    NOW…
    To be legally allowed to give a “tax deductible” receipt for any donation, you must however have your 501 (c)(3) status which goes thru the IRS not the state government where your filed the corporation paperwork. The application is HUGE, the fees begin at $350 depending on which “boxes” are checked on the application. It can take several months to be approved for this status, however in the case of FoSP, they have not according to the State of Illinois even taken the first step of filing for incorporation as a non-profit organization. They must do that before they would be qualified for 501(c)(3) status from the IRS.

    I have a horse rescue in Florida so I can attest to all this “stuff” you gotta go thru. UGH!!!

    why do I post that because it’s part of the ongoing saga of fsp and I did put it was rumor which means that someone will verify it or not. I’m betting it’s true!

    no they won’t see what a distraction fsp is they don’t seem to care this is how many months the circus has been running and there are no plans to stop the circus.

    lol I don’t think you are a bear of very little brain, I think that some folks are niave and only want to believe the best concerning anyone’s who’s loved one is missing.
    but reality has shown me different and when something stinks normally there is something causing the stink. throwing emotions and guilty at those smelling the stink can’t hide the truth for too long it will come out. and in this case I don’t think it’s going to be pretty and many will seek medication to numb out the pain.

    Freedom, I think they are moving in the right direction.

    If they stop to think that every post reflects on Stacy Peterson, that might help. As I said, it took me a long time (before I thought they were harmless and ignored most of them, got caught up in others).

    This is serious business. We are talking about life and death. Or, to go with the facts, a woman that nobody that we know of has heard from in 6 months.

    There is no way you’d come here claiming to want to “set it straight” and then just add more drama by leaving in a huff. She just added fuel to the fire of “FSP is lying” … and who would want us to believe that? IMO, that would be DP … and JB.

    Or why Stacy is not listed in the national missing persons database. or why anything and everything about FSP is soo out of touch with other missing person sites/orgs looking for a loved one.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 2:15 pm

    The problem is that nobody who is “official” from FSP can post here and announce that they are so and so from FSP (according to how I interpret the post from Admin).

    That is why if that person were officially from FSP, it would make more sense for them to have posted it there first.

    And that’s why I don’t think that person was for real.

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    In a couple of minutes you’ll see a new design we’re trying out for the blog. We’d love to hear your feedback on it. Keep in mind that if we keep the new design we will continue to make improvements to it over the next few days, including adding more color and changing the two headers so they don’t repeat each other.
    Let us know what you think and if you all decide that you really prefer the current design, we will keep it.
    To give us your vote, either add a comment here or send an e-mail to Danya at dhooker@mysuburbanlife.com

    Resueapet, sensitivity can be a great thing when making important decisions.

    And how are you paying their salaries, kimmer, when you don’t live in Bolingbrook? You’re full of it. It had nothing to do with tax money and everything to do with trying to cause trouble for anyone and everyone connected to FSP. Why don’t you try telling the truth for once? All I’ve ever seen you post here is lies.

    And coffee talk is gone. So all of the posts in it are gone. That would probably drop the post count of quite a few members drastically.

    wewillfindstacy, i dont believe that kimmer is lying. as for the monies, amandar showed absolute proof of the lies but still it’s debated. when someone stated drew threatened police on video, no proof yet we’re suppose to accept that as fact.

  • amandareckonwith // May 14, 2008 at 5:13 pm

    What he said can be interpreted several ways.

    The reporter asked for an opinion, not a fact.

    Oh, my mistake.

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 5:30 pm

    Can I just ask your opinion on something? After reading that remark, would you want to be one of the people, or someone you know and/or love, to be the ones, to knock on his door that fateful day he may be charged?

    Please note: I said MAY be charged, not absolutely, positively, he will be charged, only MAY be charged. Just so we’re clear.

    I’m ust asking if you would think it may be a “danger, if it’s a possibility?”

    What other way would you interpret it, by the way?

    Rescue, as a person recently retired from law enforcement, I can tell you we are ALWAYS alert AND prepared for a subject to have WEAPONS …. knives, firearms, etc. Therefore, every time le makes a “stop,” serves a warrant, or goes into a residence “on a call,” they most assuredly are prepared and have a mindset of being confronted “with the worst case scenerio.”
    Not taking up for DP at all …….. however, his reply (not necessarily a smart one, considering the position he is in), I think, was a reflection of his many years as le ……………. just saying, I personally, didn’t take it as a threat.

  • mzinformed // May 14, 2008 at 5:48 pm

    Love the look. I thought I was in the wrong place!

    And as far as the video, yes, I think Drew was being sarcastic BUT I also think he meant every word.

    What police officer would JOKE about the guns presenting a problem to officers who came to arrest him?

    If his words were brought up, he would claim that he was being sarcastic and this was more of his jokester way of dealing with stress.

    IMO

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 5:53 pm

    That’s good mz, because, with all the pressure he is under, all of the stress, I am not so sure he’d be one I’d want to confront. My husband is retired recently from LE, so I look at matters such as this very carefully.

    Never would expect a domestic violence call to turn into a shooting/danger, either, but it happens more than some know.

    You just never know…………..

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 5:54 pm

    what bothered me about the video was that i didnt hear the reporter ask him, only that “when asked” and then he states that. could it have been edited? the reason i ask is otherwise i would think the cops & other medias would have been all over that, even if he was sarcastic.

    would have liked to see the question and answer from beginning to end.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I understand exactly what you are saying & where you are coming from …………

    Again, I reiterate, ALL le officers go into EVERY situation with a mindset that guns ( and other dangerous weapons) WILL present a problem. We have to …….. it’s our lives.

    He may well have been joking, he may have meant it as a threat, I don’t know …….. it’s immaterial (I just gave my opinion). For if/when le has to “hook him up,” I assure you, they WILL be prepared, and again, operate under the assumption he is “armed & dangerous.” It will be a small army - A SWAT Team - they will NOT leave anything to chance!

And no, no one wants to think of their loved one “to be the first one to knock on that door,” however, that’s our JOB and SOMEONE has to be the “point man.”

    :D (But one per day is enough. Per gatehouse rules: Keep discussion of other blogs/forums to a minimum. Bring them up only when they pertain to case discussion and please refrain from discussing personal information about posters here or on other forums. )

    I think the deletion of posts from a prominant poster on a missing person’s site is something that speaks volumes!

  • kimmer78 // May 14, 2008 at 9:43 pm

    Especially after the accusations of impropriety towards her. I think it’s something that needs to be discussed. It may very well be relavant to this case.

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 9:44 pm

    I can’t think of anything less important, especially as the person being spoken about is not a family member, doesn’t live within 2000 of Bolingbrook and has no connection to the case, whatsoever.

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 9:45 pm

    2000…miles…of

    yeah.

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    No more connection to the case than you, Kimmer…or me.

  • theoriginalsami // May 14, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    i dont know, someone that was a prominent fixture & a huge reason for people being banned is room for a discussion especially if it means that someone there has decided to make it more respectable there.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    Yes, I can see where if there were improprieties with the funds and they involved that member, it would be relevant to the case.

    But the kitty comments (e.g., the kitties on the loose) are not.

    I think FSP is taking a step in the right direction with eliminating the “off topic” areas. There is more they can do (IMO) to improve the site, but nobody has asked me. ;)

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 9:52 pm

    I am an FSP member, and I hate cats. (Sounds like I am in need of a 12-step program.)

    Some of the pictures were cute, but I’m really just not a cat person. And I can’t bandy about “I love you” and mean it. I can add an ILY2 to be sarcastic. Personality flaw or unresolved childhood issue? Who can say for sure?

  • kimmer78 // May 14, 2008 at 10:01 pm

    Facs - I think there is TONS more going on with this CA member than any of us knows. Especially if there are issues with money.

    Honestly, even if they provided an accounting, I don’t know that I would believe it. There’s been too much time to cover things up, if necessary.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    I just don’t believe that Cass would allow the investigation into Stacy’s disappearance to be jeopardized by shoddy or illegal bookkeeping, especially given her father’s past (and I have no way of knowing whether what was said was true, nor do I think it has bearing on this case).

    Drew and Joel would be on that in a second if there was even the hint that something illegal was going on.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    Nobody who claimed to have proof that JinCA’s airfare was paid provided that proof anywhere …

    And there are forums that would have accepted it without banning that person for posting it. Seriously, if someone had proof, wouldn’t they take it to Joel Brodsky?

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 10:24 pm

    Would someone please elaborate how JinCA is going to help Brodsky by taking “proof” to him that she was part of a money scam from a forum website? He was suspended by the ARDC for signing a dead person’s name to a check. He’s not the moral authority. Putting that aside, does he tell the jury - ladies and gentlemen, you should find DP not guilty of murder because JinCA flew to Chicago on donated money?

    I can’t believe what I’m reading. LE sends divers into a frigid canal looking for evidence, when it’s been right in front of their noses all along. Gawlee. What’ya know.

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 10:26 pm

    I’ve got a good idea. Why don’t you switch money scamming website schemes for a while, and ask Brodsky to publish an accounting of Drew’s haul. Ask for proof that he reported his windfall to the IRS. Now, that’s a scam.

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 10:30 pm

    and one more thing. Will someone tell me why no one is half as concerned about that money scheme Brodsky dreamt up for Drew, to make sure he’d have defense money fees bulging in his pocket, under all of your noses, and you don’t care? Yeah, take all your proof to the biggest crooks of all.

  • noway406 // May 14, 2008 at 10:30 pm

    Everything I start to post violates about 5 of the 7 gatehouse rules … so I think I’d better just say goodnight.
    ;)

  • cfs7360 // May 14, 2008 at 10:30 pm

    LOL Resue, that was hilarious! I’m sure Noway didn’t mean for anyone to take it that way though. She seems so sweet and always very thoughtful in her posts, and I bet your reply will surprise her. Noway, sorry if I am speaking out of turn on your behalf. No offense at all intended, but Rscue was funny. Needed a chuckle before bed.

  • cfs7360 // May 14, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    The time on here is an hour behind. What’s up with that?

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 10:39 pm

    noway by no means meant anything. I understand that. She’s trying, like I am, to make sense out of a senseless thing. I am amazed at how much talk and time has been spent on it, when, in all reality, DP and JB are the biggest crooks of all. Someone tell me how he can put up a website and hawk donations, take the money, and walk away quietly from any suspicion? Argh. Why not call the IRS about that dork and ask them where his money went, and if they taxed it????????

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 10:39 pm

    time has always been an hour off, I think.

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    Agreed, Rescue. I took a day away from this place to get some perspective and if you read these threads with fresh eyes, the obsession with FSP and attempts to attach importance to what transpires seem completely irrelevant.

    Mismanagement of donation funds and poor web site management have nothing to do with the cases of Drew Peterson and his wives.

    If this ever goes to trial the testimony presented in that courtroom is going to be about Drew Peterson and his relationship with his wives and none of it will be related to anything that occured past the Fall of 2007. At that time there was no FSP, no JICA, no cats, no funds or fundraisers.

    The only acception I’ll make to that is if they actually find some remains (because they’ll get statements from forensics people), but I kind of doubt that at this point.

    I simply can’t imagine a scenario in which the admin of a web site is going to be put on the stand and asked to testify about going to raves, LOLcats, or a blonde who accumulated a total of 58 days posting ILYs on a message board.

  • gatehousechicago // May 14, 2008 at 11:46 pm

    This is just a quick test to see if the time change has gone through.

  • gatehousechicago // May 14, 2008 at 11:46 pm

    Bingo.

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 11:46 pm

    And to be honest, no one cares if you were banned or not or the reason why. It’s a big Internet and if you can’t have your say on a particular board there’s always some place that will have you.

    Like here! :-)

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 11:48 pm

    My God, I’ve lost an hour! I’m going to find out who’s responsible and make a stink in the press! Wait ’til the media here’s about what this blog did to me!!!!

    Heh. I keed.

  • facsmiley // May 14, 2008 at 11:48 pm

    ummm…”hears”.

  • rescueapet // May 14, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    well, it seems outrageous to me that DP and JB can collect money with a website, asking for $5 to $250 a crack, take the money, walk away, and manage to keep their big yaps shut about it. What happens. They let others do the ranting and raving, while they quietly go
