Missing boaters in FL

LAJennifer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,168 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2005	I just read that the search was called off. This story has really affected me (for some reason) since I first read about them early Sunday morning. It just makes me so sad - and I'm not normally that affected by random bad news. _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

I normally see some bad news on tv or in the paper and I may feel bad for the people involved, but I move on. But for some reason, I could not stop thinking about this. This whole situation makes me so sad and I can't stop thinking about how scary the whole situation was for these men. Can you imagine being standed in the ocean...especially in the pitch dark, not knowing if you will ever be found, if anyone even knows you're missing, if you will be eaten by a shark, etc. Or clinging onto the overtuned boat as you watch you close friends being swept away? I was deeply sad to read that the search had been called of for the other three, and my heart goes out to their families and friends. My fiance thinks I was so affected because my parents are boaters...but I don't know

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

I cannot imagine the heartache not knowing brings...and the fear of wondering what their last moments were like... Just absoutely horrifying. I told my husband last night that what happened to those men is perhaps one of my greatest fears...I can't watch movies like Open Water for that reason. I am honestly terrified just thinking about it...and IMHO the only thing worse than it happening to me, would be if it happened to my husband. ____________________________ Remember to keep your words soft and sweet...you may have to eat them someday.

My heart does go out to all of them and their families and friends. I have to wonder what on earth they were doing out there anyway.

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	Terribly sad. I just heard tonight that two of the guys gave up and just took off their life jackets and drifted away. The other apparently thought he saw help coming and threw away the cushion he was holding and started swimming, probably delusional at that point. It's really amazing the one guy made it. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

Italiahaircolor Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,337 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 12/17/2007	Has anyone else been following the developments? The sole survior is saying that the men not at the boat more or less all gave up hope, removed their jackets and drifted away. One man did try to swim for it but without a lifevest. It's so tragically sad. What an awful feeling. ____________________________ Remember to keep your words soft and sweet...you may have to eat them someday.
