GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

I have enough of a collection of positive reps about humorous posts to tell me you are just an envious little man. And an unfunny one at that.
Wow, Iovagian, neg-repping me for outwitting you again? And bringing my old man's incident up in your classless witless rep remark? Just how much of a pathetic thin-skinned pussy are you? :-) [Reply]

I know. That was really a rhetorical question. The emotions were still fresh in me when I posted the thread and I had to rant.
There's also a blessing in disguise in all this. My brother and his wife are going to visit him in the hospital which may start a renewing of relations. Also my brother thought my Dad's wife (evidently a very energetic 72, 73 year old) sounded really sincere in expressing his love for him. I'm happy he is receiving such a happy gift late in his life.

I have some bad news for you, Frankie. I think your dad is going to die very soon. In fact, he won't live past 2020. I'm fairly confident in this and I just wanted you to brace yourself. I'd also like you to send me $75 for the reading. [Reply]

$75? You're getting less expensive as you age. :-) [Reply]
