I think CNN's got some splainin to do...
You read it right.
I think I will take my granddaughter to the playground in a little bit.
Freepmail Chair..
Will Sheehan kiss her ring too?
I'll bump that.......
Good morning everybody.
Like everyone else, I am afraid to leave the news for too long a stretch.
I don't know what else to do but pray for those in the path of this monsterous Rita.
We all have so many FRiends in the Houston/Galveston areas.
Somewhat hopeful --- hurricanes usually lose strength and Rita is still 490 miles from landfall. Just maybe, she'll fall apart. If only she was one of "those ditzy women."
(((kassie))) what have you decided to do?
I have an appointment in a couple of hours to meet with a real estate agent who specializes in FIRST TIME Buyers....wish me luck.
Everyone on our cul-de-sac is staying. So if anything really severe happens, we can help each other.
Right now we are on the weak side of the storm. Thank you sweet Jesus.
Shana has called two times. She and her precious little girls are on 45 headed to Dallas. She finally made it off Beltway 8 and is now on 45. They were to open south bound lanes to make more lanes going north.
She is in need of prayers. Three girls and a dog. ;)
Oh, good luck indeed. Hopefully, she'll have something.
Food?
Water?
Now is the time to get those things together....do you have a interior room you can go into when the winds get to bad?
The IMF is ordering the United States to raise taxes to ease the deficit???
It's quite astounding that the world's largest monetary body doesn't seem to understand that tax revenues are at the highest point in our nation's history and most analysts credit that with the tax cuts. LOL
We are putting a mattress in the hall bathroom. I've cleaned out under the counter for water, food,battery operated radio,flashlights and first aide kit. We will have to stay in there for many hours. Well, sleeping in there for sure Friday night.
My husband has a tarp that will go over the mattress, that we will tie one end to the toilet and hold on to the other end with gloved hands. Just in case the roof goes. But we all are staying on our street so we'll all look out for each other.
Since we are now on the weaker side of the storm, I am feeling somewhat more calm about staying.
I so appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers. It keeps me sane.
Don't count on that...hurricanes tend to wobble at the last minute..get everything ready and pray.
..... Covering Shana and the girls in prayer, too.
ABG ~~~ concerned about you, too. Everyone is focused on the Galveston/Houston area and NO but I hope you have your hatches battened down and provisions stored up. You could be in for quite a ride. Plenty of prayers going your way, too.
That is exactly what the weatherman continues to say. Not to be fooled by the computer models. No one knows what Rita will do for sure, until she does it. So we will keep preparing.
...KENNER POLICE (SUBURB OF NEW ORLEANS, NEAR THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT) FIND AT A KENNER CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR'S HOME OFFICE FOUR PICK-UP TRUCK'S FULL WORTH OF FOOD, CLOTHING, AND TOOLS INTENDED FOR KATRINA VICTIMS
POLICE SEARCHED THE OFFICIAL'S HOME BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS THAT CITY WORKERS WERE HELPING THEMSELVES TO DONATIONS INTENDED FOR KATRINA VICTIMS
Storm Donations Found at Official's Home
The man ought to be shot! This really peeves me off! Totally outrageous!
Shot. Nope. Tie him to the levee and give him a freakin' bucket to save himself.......if Rita..dumps inches on NO.
