It is with heavy heart I write this...
I have finally reconnected with my best friend who is a paramedic who was sent from Georgia 2 days ago to Gulf Port, Mississippi before the hurricane hit.
He just reached me within the last 10 mins via emergency cell phone to tell me he was alive.
Thousands of bodies have been discovered throughout Mississippi in Gulf Port, Waveland,Hancock County,Bay of St.Louis.
They are hanging in trees and they are pulling them out 30 at a time. Entire families found drowned in their homes and washing up on shore.
The stories he could tell me were brief. National Guard is on the scene and arresting anyone seen on the streets.
The numbers are staggering and what I have been told tonight will shake people to their foundation as the numbers will be coming out in the next 24-hours of just how many people have actually perished in these and 3 other beach communities.
More to follow....
I would like to know this answer to this also?
When a long time freeper is banned and we ask why , as we can see no reason for it, I think we deserve an answer.
Are there new rules we haven't been told about?
Enlighten us please?
I know.
Y'all found The Lost Colony yet????? It was a conspiracy, I tell ya . . .
I hereby suspend myself for 6 hours; and
Me too.
See you when 6 hours is up.
(Have a good evening.)
My Favorite Headache is also a Donating member.
I have to keep reminding myself that the first reports are often wrong.
Given that MFH has committed no banning offense that I can see, I think the silence from the mods is quite interesting.
well, was.
Indeed. What say ye Jim?
Does this mean anything?
Trying to make me cry more!
Thanks tons dear heart! It's sooooooooooo comforting to have some bright gal like you understand so much about lil ol moi.
I pray you are resting deeply and have a blessed and thoroughly redemptive visit by a quality plumber! And may your kids really enliven and enjoy the visit.
LUB
he's alive
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, yes, that fascinating issue.
As a shrink and a human being . . . how does one
'force,' facilitate, encourage, trigger, cause even one's self
to
--Love God more
--Trust God more?
Seems to me--particularly at some point and some level--even those to extremely high priorities are a work of Grace. Holy Spirit has to effectively change us within for such to occur. Yet, it's a cooperative adventure, a dance. We don't get much down that road sitting like a lump with our arm's folded daring God to MAKE us Love/Trust Him more.
At least, I never have. Even yearning, reaching desperately toward Him doesn't always seem to effect much very discernably in that direction very quickly.
Apparently, MFH is now back...whether he will actually post again here is another matter.
may not donate anymore though
I certainly don't understand why MFH was slapped. Doesn't make sense to me as Fox has said throughout the day nearly everything the was originally posted at this threads beginning.
Breaking news is an FR tradition. But it also seems to be dangerous.
If you try to peaceably express your opinon in a public place and the government prevents you from doing so, that is censorship. If you try to express your opinion using my licensed airwaves, printing presses or Web servers, that is editing.
I am a near-absolutist on the First Amendment, but like most interesting constitutional questions, this comes down to conflicting claims of rights -- and if I, as the owner of a printing press or Web site or broadcast station, am forced to repeat your message, that infringes on my right to express my own. You have every right to your voice and absolutely no right to mine.
I agree. I don't 'know' MFH like some Freepers here do, but I know him from his posts.
Hugh is out of the loop.
I do know that MFH is one heck of an amazing FReeper...I wrote quite a long post on MFH's behalf...about a favorite action taken, in a real face to face with her heinous, herself, and then realized that I had the wrong FReeper...and was thinking of Hillaryhaslovelylegs (had almost hit the post button, then decided to actually reread the thing(something I ususally avoid)...LOL...shows how deep I go!
At any rate...this has been an emotional thread...informative and very rock and roll, just like we like it here at FR!
So...MFH is a guy? Who knew.
