why is it that news forums attract people who want more than anything to attack one another??????

I wish we were all as smart as "Mitchoncbs". The guy seems to have an answer for everything. Leave it to an "a.....e" like him to taint a good news story.

Thank God they were found alive!!

1-7 feet of snow has fallen there???

Where the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks is the Global Warming?????
If we would be having Global Warming, this would never have happened!!!

Where''s Algore when you need him?!?

It is awesome to read about good news for a change. Family tradition is something I see you morons on here have no clue to what it is. Guess it comes from sitting in front of a computer screen all day thinking you are the foremost authorities on everything. When realistically, you know absolutely nothing.

newsjunky5, and you write like a second grader.....it''s common SENSE you moron

"Some folks just don''''t have common seance, all to get a free christmas tree and be cheap and how many thousands of dollars for the search and rescue, the man should be billed for it."

Someone''s always trying to "stick it to the Man"
Hindsight is 20/20. They didn''t know they would get lost, probably had gone into the woods dozens of times and came right back out without a hitch. A friend of mine bought a tree, slid on the ice, and banged up her van getting it home. So buying one is stupid too. But you''re right that if they did have, even a common seance, the family might have been found for thousands less. Some people just don''t know when to consult the spirits, or have a beer/some wine.

thank God! i wonder where they found them and how they managed so well in comparison with how searchers initially thought they would in such deep snow and cold.
maybe they found an abandoned cabin wiht a fireplace and got a fire going with some tree branches.

NO they aren''t cheap - I remember when I was young, it was family tradition that my father took us kids out and cut down the xmas tree, brought it home, put it in the back porch to thaw and then a few days later we ALL (brothers, sisters, mom and dad) spent time together decorating the tree. I have so many wonderful warm memories of this... perhaps if alot of you - crzmeat did the same, your family would be close and the memories will be with them forever...
Thank god they were found alive and well...
My prayers were with them -

Going into the low mountains relatively close to the road to cut your own tree is wonderful for the kids. I guess all you naysayers will back on line to congratulate the four for being prepared enough to survive 4 days up there. Thanks for a happy ending guys.
