I was wondering if thats why he wasnt here. This is so sad.

I live in Nebraska and through all of this I have met some really nice people from Georgia and other States.

WHY

[fsbiii]

Guess who.............

I have not disappeared, but I did receive a temporary ban for attacking someone on a thread. I have also been out of town and moving the last week. If I have anything worthwhile to post or a good reply to any questions, I'll sure do it. I just don't want to be accused of attacking anyone else, so I'll keep my postings to the basics and follow the rules like a good CTVer always should.

Thanks for checking up on me! (You PMers, too!)

[concernedperson]

Glad to see ya!!!

Yeah your back Your welcome some of us wondered what happened. Nice to see you back.

Hey, I, too, wondered if you were on vacation or something! I thought I'd see you posting on Mary W. and haven't noticed you there. But glad you are back here. Are we getting closer to a resolution??? Let's hope and pray.

Does anyone know what happened to Benhill? His account is still active but he hasn't posted since Apr 6th. Sassy was the only one that acted like she/he knew anything about him.

[concernedperson]

I hope to hear from him again. Very valuable poster.

If anyone sees who?

[luvmy2labpups]

Originally posted by HarperValleyPTA
Benhill, of course. That's who we were discussing and if anyone had seen him lately.

Yeah, um ok.

[Atok]

Did you make sure he got a green flyer too, maybe he doesn't know about the event?

[luvmy2labpups]

Originally posted by HarperValleyPTA

If he comes onto the board at all, he'll probably see the sticky link first anyway. There's a sticky about the benefit concert giving all the info there.

What exactly is the purpose of this benefit concert?

[luvmy2labpups]

Originally posted by HarperValleyPTA

All the information you need is in the sticky link on this board. But the purpose of any benefit is to raise funds of course.

It isn't very clear. Can you clarify please. What does "to continue our search" mean. Who is our and what searches does that refer to?

[luvmy2labpups]

Originally posted by HarperValleyPTA

Those searches would be for Tara Grinstead.

Who is doing the searches?

[concernedperson]

If April 2006 is a long time poster than I am ancient. But that is what people say about me all the time.

Oh, she's just been reincarnated.

She's been around for a while... longer than I have (and I was actually banned after being on here for about a year).

If she had learned to stay Simply Quiet at certain times, she would probably still be Meeeeeee.

[fsbiii]

Now that we've established "where fsbiii is," could we delete this thread?

I'm growing weary of seeing my username at the top of the list every hour in light of recent activities on my lawn.

THANKS!

I'm not HVPTA, but perhaps the poster was referring to searches discussed earlier on Catherine Crier's show.

Tara's family and friends have been searching places of interest, especially where the cadaver dogs had previously alerted to, near the structure which burned via a suspicious fire.

The spot the dogs kept alerting to, was adjacent to a pond. The specific land area is said to be approximately 18 inches by 6 feet.

An item was found in/near the pond, which Tara's sister will not disclose. It was given to the GBI for forensic testing, and it's said to be an item not generally associated with a person. Those responsible for the care of the pond stated that the item is definitely one which should not be expected to be found there.

This is old hat hey paula. As far as I am concerned it could be a yo-yo. Until GBI says something of interest has been found I will put that in the rumor category.

Great synopsis of the show. Maybe you should post this info on another thread in the event it gets deleted by a posters request.

The family is organizing searches based on tips provided through the Tara Center. The searches are made up of volunteers and friends of the family. Perhaps you would like to volunteer to search, if so contact the Tara Center. If you are unable to search perhaps you would like to make a donation to the center. What else would you like to know about the searches?

[Atok]

I understood the need for a command center early on in the case.
But I question the needed purpose of such expense at this point in time.

I would like to know why the Tara Center is not running out of the families home or something cheaper that doesn't require donated support for rent and electricity and phonelines etc.

I would like to know if the Tara Center has registered for non-profit status.

I would like to know how donated funds have been appropriated and what the center has left to work with.

I would like to know if records are being maintained regarding donations.

I'm pretty clear on searches. I would expect a large portion of funds would be applied to things like hiring dog teams when the hunting area is considered high interest.

That makes some sort of sense to me, but having a $500 a month office setting at this point in time does not.

If you know more, can you help provide some clarity so that people will WANT to make more donations?

Thanks for the answer zorro. If they are being done by volunteers why is there a need to raise funds for searches? A volunteer isn't expecting to be paid. So who is?

Seems that you would be happy if it shut down.

Seems there are other options that would not require fund raisers.

Think I'll save my money and use it for a worthwhile purpose.

I am sure that is OK Atok, but I think the Tara Center will be around without your help. AS they have made it through searches, and information to people in other states, and all the many things the director would be glad to tell you about.

I find it sad that things like this are disputed by those that have never and will never help the Tara Center in anyway Or the Search for Tara in anyway.

This board is NOT the search.

Take yourself out to dinner and think about how good that makes you feel.

Not that I should have to open my financial records to you; but the fact is you have no idea what contributions I have made. My personal financial support is not public knowledge, nor should it be.

However, the public should know how the contributions are being appropriated if you expect people to keep supporting the center.

You are correct that I won't support something that can't even identify it's purpose.

I'm sure most of your questions could be answered by calling the
Tara Center and speaking to the director. Then you could report back to us with the correct answers. How did you come up with the "$500.00" a month office rent? Just curious!!

I have no desire to make a long distance call and chat it all out with Ms. F*******, when there are people on this board that see her everyday and could just ask/answer the basic questions without getting defensive and bullying. I know lots of people have these questions so I thought I'd be brave and ask them. I can see why people didn't want to post these types of questions themselves, becuase look where it's getting me...

ANYWAY

I thought I read that $500 figure in the Tifton Gazette regarding leasing out the two office suites on Cherry, but I returned to that article and do not see that figure OR any figure reported in that story.

Perhaps it was released in something else, so I'll keep looking, OR my memory may be incorrect, but I recall thinking... "if they are paying $500 for office space, why not just pay the rent on Tara's house and work from there..."

I can't answer now where that figure came from, so perhaps you can ask Ms. F******* YOURSELF (which would not be long distance calling on MY part) what it costs to lease and if that is the primary expense needing to be covered. Or not.

You don't seem to have any concern about where these donations go or how they are used.

I've been around a long time, and have supported a whole host of charitable causes, after awhile you start to ask questions about purpose and use of monies donated.

For example, when donating through the Combined Federal Campaign I read through the charities eligible and I look for those who use less than 10% of the proceeds on administrative staff and salaries. I want my donation spent directly on the cause.

I don't ask all these questions becuase because I want it shut down, it's becuase I want it to be effective.

We're going on 7 months... asking what the money is used for is not crazy.

Are they allowed to use Tara's house already?

[Atok]

Tara's house was released a LONG time ago.
