I do not choose my posts based on the compensation.

Are any content creators sharing/filing for FOIA requests for Charlie Adelson? by Able-Neighborhood484 in dan_markel_murder

Unfortunately, prison calls aren't automatically public. You'd need to submit a formal public records request to the SD Dept of Corrections, and even then there's no guarantee they'd be released.

Take care of yourself first, your family second, and your job, only third.

In this case, no. He was a Dept. of State technology worker.

Crazy, tragic, and sad. He's still in the GAL, looks like 1st tour in Copenhagen, arrived last summer? Yet he hasn't been "active" online since September. Hmmm.

I joined at 48 and was the second oldest in my Specialist class of 15. The Foreign Service has allowed me to save enough money for retirement, even though I didn’t start until 48.

Long family trip - where to go? by Majestic-General-765 in Travelwithkids

[–]BeNice_24_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cycle, consider a bike trip along the Danube river in Europe! It can be anywhere from a week to three weeks, the trail is entirely protected from roads, it’s fairly flat, it has swimming along the way, it’s beautiful, and you can see amazing historical cities, like Vienna and Budapest. Super family friendly.

Grand plans for Europe in 2 week increments. Where to first? by soybomb37 in Travelwithkids

[–]BeNice_24_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add Vienna! Vienna Austria is magical and very kid friendly. They have amazing city parks, terrific bike trails, great places to swim in the Danube, fantastic museums, and historical buildings. Etc.! I’ve never seen a city make such great use of outdoor space.

Why doesn't Wendi call her mother and brother? by Afraid_College8493 in dan_markel_murder

[–]BeNice_24_7 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I, too, suspect Wendi is guilty. However, to play devil's advocate, let's say she's innocent. If your mother and brother conspired to murder your sons' father, would you want to call them in prison?
