I do it with the TV remote. LOL!
He never noticed.
I can't believe all the dead people in Mississippi, so very sad.
Welcome back, cajungirl...
Glad you are safe...
You are right, there will be a new generation, as Camille was always the benchmark for me.
Will you please assign me a tag-team partner? I have none.
:9(
No, not tonight.
Quelle domage!

Anita Vogel! Went to HS with her...she is on the wrong side of N.O.
He didn't do anything. He was a perfect gentleman - as usual. Another person with a lot of lip was trying to justify looting.
Another reporter on CNN now; Fox completely off the mark.
CNN: photographer: hundreds of persons still trapped in attics in New Orleans when he was in the flooded neighborhood, but rescue efforts are hampered by darkness because of live electric lines and leaking gas lines.
Nice to see you safe!
:-)
looking at this CNN video right now, plus the reports coming in from Mississippi - Bush needs to step up the rhetoric tomorrow. We need a tsunami level response to this.
Heard earlier about 100 homes damaged from a tornado in GA.
No it's a general warning to anyone getting nasty in threads, back and forth flamewars,etc. You just got here a little late is all. You missed it but it's not worth getting banned.
I'm thinkin' trouble will brew in the dome. Time will tell.
:-(
CNN: rescue efforts are overwhelmed. persons and pets tangled in wires on the roofs. Rescuers dropping flares to mark future pickups. 300-500 trapped in his estimation.
Yes. It's from a NO station from a helicopter Blanco sent up.
I have been amazed by just how exceedingly poorly FoxNews has handled this...
Thank God for the net and live streams from the local Gulf area TV stations - they are totally blowing FoxNews out of the water on this story . . .
I thought that's what I jsut heard, too!
