Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: ranger1 Date: 13 Dec 07 - 08:28 AM Dear Mudcat friends, Mum sent me the following to post here: To all you Mudcat folks out there that sent Tami and me such encouraging, supportive thoughts and words, a VERY heartfelt thank you. And, those of you who pitched in financially to get us a flight back to NH, THANK YOU!!!!! It would have been a long hitchhike home. Most sincerely grateful, Diana |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: maeve Date: 12 Dec 07 - 08:30 AM Micca- Sounds like a great idea. Portland is as unto a foreign country to me, anyway. Tami's close friends are as high tone as Tami is, and it's been a pleasure to get to know them...and her. (And you thought I'd make another smartypants remark!) Hi, Tami! maeve |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Micca Date: 12 Dec 07 - 07:49 AM maeve you gotta do the Guided tour of the Park with Tami, it is an Annual Pilgrimage for me and she is so knowledgable and informative about the Flora and fauna (much of which is alien to me, being a European) and just Great company on a walk in thw woods, there is noyhing (much) strange about Tami!!!! I mean, look at her close friends!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: maeve Date: 12 Dec 07 - 06:58 AM Oh, the mind boggles...And you think I should spend more time with her? Huh! I don't think so! maeve |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: SINSULL Date: 12 Dec 07 - 06:24 AM Uh...Maeve...you need to spend more time with Tami. Shut her up in a tower in the woods all alone Rapunzel style and she's exactly like him right down to the freshly pressed uniform. LOL |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: maeve Date: 12 Dec 07 - 06:14 AM Lovely one, Micca. I found the whole piece here: I must learn it! Good morning, Tami. I thought of you yesterday as I happened into the parlor. My True Love was laughing his way through the Red Green Show. The forest ranger... Oh, my! Not anything like you! Love, maeve |

Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Jeri Date: 11 Dec 07 - 01:10 PM Is 'ecstatic' what you had when your eyes were all crusty? I bet they're not happy with you! |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: SINSULL Date: 11 Dec 07 - 01:03 PM Seamus is glad too. He got a romp on the beach yesterday thanks to Tami and Jason. Bandit must have ecstatic. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: TRUBRIT Date: 10 Dec 07 - 09:49 PM Tami -- so glad to hear you are BOTH home....... |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: GUEST,jacqui.c on Sharon's laptop Date: 10 Dec 07 - 04:30 PM Glad you're back dear, safe and sound. I hope that Jason spoils you rotten for a long, long time. See you after Christmas. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: maeve Date: 10 Dec 07 - 12:57 PM Thank you, Susan. Hi, Tami. I'm smiling because you're home! maeve |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: wysiwyg Date: 10 Dec 07 - 12:33 PM It's just a sign of the widespread concern for you all at Mudcat, Tami; sometimes in that concern it's hard to remember that you're smart, powerful women who will be more than able to do your own best thinking about when to pick up any loose ends and tie them up. (I suspect we've all had our own experiences with "loose ends.") But of course you are, and you don't owe us a play-by-play account of whatever action your mom eventually takes, now or ever. What we really want is the play-by-play on the hugs you're wrapping her up in-- just kidding! :~) Merry Christmas! May the New Year be filled with the peace and fun you all deserve. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: ranger1 Date: 10 Dec 07 - 12:22 PM Thanks, Susan. I was about to post that request as well. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: wysiwyg Date: 10 Dec 07 - 11:52 AM Hey, let's let this thread just be part of the break-from-the-past relief Tami and her mom must be in need of at this point. They can get back to the legalities later.... They're OUT-- let's not focus them on being back inside all of it. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Bill D Date: 10 Dec 07 - 11:48 AM SRS...a county doesn't have to be particularly backward for one or two officials to institute a bad attitude in some areas. In this case, it seemed like the sheriff's dept WAS being obstructionist....and Tami was there and began this process before the storm was a significant issue. I agree that it IS complicated to work out all the relevant legal issues in a problem like this, but it does seem like Tami and her Mom were treated like a nuisance, rather than as victims. |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Dec 07 - 10:15 AM There is a letter to the editor in this morning's online Everett Herald. Maybe this is someone to contact--she seems to be able to get good service from the County Sheriff. (Or is on his payroll?) I noted in a PM but will also suggest here that something needs to be done with the title to that car. Otherwise you could find yourself liable for any crimes it is used in committing or for how it is disposed of by the person who has it now. File it as stolen or junk or find some way to remove the liability factor of that auto since it is no longer in your possession or control. SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Leadfingers Date: 10 Dec 07 - 06:59 AM Glad that you are safe back in Maine Tami . |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: bfdk Date: 10 Dec 07 - 04:35 AM Glad to hear you're both home safe and sound, Tami :-) Best wishes, Bente |
Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Dec 07 - 12:26 AM I discovered this discussion (and the other thread) just now. Too bad the first thread is closed, I had some remarks. I am sorry this abusive situation happened and the law enforcement folks were not helpful. But I must protest all of the name calling of the Snohomish County folks. When you commingle civil issues with criminal issues, it is messy. You were also there during a time when the worst storm in decades was descending on the region and flooding was a real problem. Try to call a cop in Louisiana or Texas when a hurricane and blowing through--there must be some sort of triage that happens when they decide what to respond to. I'm in Texas now, I'm not in Everett, where I grew up (in Snohomish County). But I keep track of some of the goings on in the county. There is no excuse for the rudeness you encountered; that is unfortunately something one finds in most communities at some level. Snohomish County hasn't cornered the market on it. My mom worked for years for the DSHS (Dept. of Social and Health Services) and had to work hard to have her ducks all lined up in order to get certain law enforcement things to happen (like removing children from abusive homes). Perhaps instead of pondering the helpfulness of Repo men, a good attorney would have helped wade through the civil vs. legal challenges. Snohomish County isn't a backwater, and it isn't particularly backwards. It's a continuation of a major metropolitan area that expands outward from Seattle (it's the next county north of King County, were Seattle is located). I didn't see any input from any of the Everett folks on that last thread, and the lone Washington resident who did respond was a couple of hundred miles away. If I had seen this I have a couple of people in county Snohomish County and City of Everett positions who might have been able to offer some suggestions. I'm sorry I didn't see this. As someone else remarked earlier, it didn't have anything in the thread title that would have attracted my attention to respond as a local (or to contact a local). FWIW. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home...almost From: ranger1 Date: 09 Dec 07 - 02:54 PM The ranger has landed. So good to be home at last. Jason is making me nachos for the Pats game, Bandit has tried to crawl under my skin and the cat hasn't stopped "talking" since I walked through the door. Thank you all so much for everything. Thanks almost doesn't seem quite enough... Anyway, I'm going back across the street to my internet-less abode to my very caring, sharing, loving other half who very unselfishly let me out of his sight after I just got home to come and post to all you lovely people. Tami |
