GRUESOME STUFF!! And the herculean tasks before them are daunting .. what he's ticking off in the way of damage, destruction, loss, infrastructure disabilities and loss .. just horrific loss. "We're going to need everything."
You have a lifetime to get to know eachother! :o)
It's ok Revel. No offense taken! You're very gracious!
Excellent, now we just need to hear from the bride and groom. Or maybe we need to figure out, who's the bride and who's the groom?
I think the lower half of slidel is under water....at least according to the comm I heard 6 hours ago from the EOC to the Hurricane Center via shortwave...
Did I post the wrong picture?
AsMIn, I like the way you think! We have one with a sense of humor!
On another note, I am sick about the reports coming in. Forget Fox. They show Shep having a grand ole time in the Quarter. CNN is telling the story. This is horrible. I dread the reports that will come out tomorrow.
Thanks again to NautiNurse for not sleeping and working so hard to keep us informed. You are the best.
This is really difficult...I don't know...ummm
Can I trade you the next updated thread for both bachelor #3 and what's behind door $2?
Sorry, You're too tall to fit in the Tom Dasshole costume. I might pick you next though.
LOL cyborg. You guys need to be kind to this guy! I'm an old grandma, and I'm perfectly happy with that. I do, however, know who I am!!!!
We need to find this young man a nice young lady. If only I had another daughter...LOL!
Agree! :-)
I'm thinking you have that power.
Certainly if you have to power to "take it away," you have the power to "give it."
Here's How:
Since the Internet isn't a place or a legal entity in itself, people can't be legally married on it.
The ceremony could take place through the Net, but the legal aspects must be fulfilled in a real location.
Decide if the ceremony is for fun or the real thing.
If it's for fun, make sure that both of you understand that it isn't a legal marriage.
If it's for real, then you need to follow the legal requirements of the jurisdiction where you are physically located.
Decide if you want to have guests.
If you are having guests, then using one of the cyber chapels that utilize chat rooms would make it more enjoyable and fun.
Don't confuse people. Let them know up front if this is a ceremony for fun or the real thing.
Make sure you get a certificate!
Tips:
Remember... a cyber wedding without an official license from a legal entity is not a legal marriage!
***The rules are different if it's a same sex couple.

BWAHAHAHAH!
Is that Nagin quote recent? This "bodies in the water" thing is really strange - like something that cannot be mentioned, yet everyone knows it's there . . .
Thanks, that's very kind of you! I'm going to sleep in a few minutes, so please let me wish you pleasant dreams!

The I-10 bridge is the short bridge on this map to the right (it is not the long one that goes right through the middle of the lake)
May-December it's all good. Look at Demi Moore ;-)
I don't know how these people are going to handle this.
No matter how much money is put in there, for all intents and purposes, their world as the knew it last night at midnight is gone.
Looting: some of the drug addicts that are still here are breaking into drugstores looking for substitutes.
=================================
This is the hellhole of all time in this country, except for a 3rd world nation.
To be fair: THAT would be May and September.
