And I say, if the folks did not get out of there they are on their own!

Since Iowa Granny hasn't responded to your post yet, I will.

I'm hoping that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and that explains your grumpiness. We have some ATRW friends in that area. All we love dearly.

I was going to have the mods remove your inconsiderate post , but I'd rather my FRiends have a go at you.

Before I would make a statement like yours I would have to know everyone's situation. Did you ever think that some are not able to evacuate?

You are correct. They are on their own. But sometimes there are extenuating circumstances why people don’t leave. Further, it does not mean that can’t wish them well and pray for them that damage is minimal.

It has something to do with the fact that while we all deserve justice, we can ask for mercy.

Prayers for kassie who is in the direct path of Ike and for Toby who is on the Gulfcoast.

I don’t believe I’ve seen you on our forum here. You are welcome to stay. We discuss everything here from politics to food recipes. We’re all fans of everything AU. The tie that binds us seems to our support for one another through the trials and challenges of life. We accept one another and while there are some disagreements from time to time, we do so with civility and respect. We mostly state our case and then leave it.

We would love to have you join us if you can follow those guidelines. Do you dance?

Your comments are tactless and beyond belief.

All us here understand the implications of poor choices without stating them so crudely.

This situation hits home to me personally, and I'm grieving here.

Just go away, and come back when you are more civil.

May I remind you that this is America and if people choose to stay and protect their home that is there choice. And because this is America, all resources will go into helping them make it through this storm.

Not everyone is blessed with the intellect and resources to make the decision as to when to leave and many cannot leave. For myself, I wish all the dear folks in harms way the best of luck.
