The you tube video I posted, is not the only thing I have posted, back near the beginning, and I think in the middle too. I've been lurking.. reading every morning... and then.. yesterday an epiphany... it was the cowbell , it brought me out.. just like I love to share the love of a mini.. there is something about a cowbell.. that needs to be shared with the world!!!
If you vote for me, for the next president... I promise, everyone in the us.. will have their own mini cooper and a cowbell!

cabwy, you siad it perfectly, d**m cold here today!
good morning all and yes my breakfast was just as boring, bowl of raisin bran crunch, lots of coffee...

tree was out in the trash last night and the needles were cleaned up too, sorry Skillet, Thistle was starting to get needles stuck to her fur!
But the good vibes are still there for you and maybe Apple will do the right thing once in her life!

skillet never PM'd for the prize. So it's still available. We better hurry and get to 2009 though, the company is rumored to be "cost cutting" any day now.

For the record... the person mentioned in that article does live in Ocala, FL (Silver Springs is a suburb), with an address near Jumbolair (where John Travolta lives)...

Only thing is, Google Street View doesn't show a single house on that street with a carport, which is what I believe I've seen in photos of Apple. *shrug*

Oh, you've done VERY well with the detective stuff. This article definitely coroborates her stories, even if they're a little "extended."

There's way too much available space in there. You could probably actually reach things without contorting yourself like I have to do with my R56.

I gotta ask (and I realize it may have already been asked), but are we sure that her stories are true? Or could she have the same or similar name and is just saying she is the person related to Depp?

I know, I shouldn't doubt her honesty. After all, her statements have proven to be true soooooo many times.

skillet: did you ever decide to post on the other forums about this thread?

Thus why I pointed out that there was no carport on the street address of the person listed in that article. Things definitely don't add up.

No, we're not sure if her stories are true - and to be honest, most of us don't believe them. wbarnhill has provided the only "evidence" that she might not be totally, utterly, completely lying. Mostly.

Just wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. This thread moves so fast sometimes I have trouble keeping up.

In the interest of being fair, are the street view images live or could they be a year or two old?

Could be a year or two old, but the area didn't seem like you COULD build a carport. Most houses had what looked to be a garage, but they were awfully crammed together.

Of course she could've also moved from that location, but it's the one that is close to Jumbolair.

Lots of variables, but still, fishy.

You still can't call the guy your next door neighbor if you don't actually live in his neighborhood tho...

For all I know... she may be Johnny Depp's step sister... or it could be that she read that article in star magazine a little over two years ago and saw that the step sister's name was Sandy and decided to go from there...

If she lied about the car and the macbook air... who knows what else she's lied about?

I stand behind my statement: this woman needs help regardless of who she's related to by marriage.

If some one wants it please let me know I am in central Florida, If you pay shipping or come and get it, is yours.
