9. the 15th is my birthday...
I will always remember the day I turned 55.

Hey, if the family gets fined or has to the pay the search & rescue costs, would that be considered a "Balloon Payment"?

11. Someone posted /all/ of his personal information online
:scared: I don't like the guy but this is down right scary. Something has to be changed about how these "public" information databases like intelius and lexus nexus distributes information.

14. Yes, for a few hours many of us were pulled out of our own lives and 'were
totally caught up in this drama.

We forgot our own worries and cares and 'focused completely on this boy and family.

In that regard the whole sham was worth it.

I think it was a video skit involving either the whole family or the kids themselves and it (literally) just got away from them.
