Glad you are safe. It's great when FReepers check in so we can stop worrying about them.

[rwfromkansas]

Certainly there are probably lots of rumors flying around about stuff that happened.....that didn't actually happen.

We do have to be careful.

In any event, I have to take a break. Maybe take a nap....barely slept last night.

CNN is realy letting the full extent of liberalism on the soul and mind be shown for the world to see, aren't they?

[Will_Zurmacht]

if this doesn't motivate folks to make some basic prep., i don't know what will.

at the very least everyone should have a "boogie bag" in the trunk of their car.
for basics you just need jugs of water, a box of non-perishables( that don't need cookin or fancy prep.) and a walmart bag with some clothes and an old pair of shoes. even this barest of essentials can keep you alive, and it costs less than 20.00 bucks and takes just a few square feet of your trunk.

families should have a boogie bag prepared and in the garage. put spare clothes, footwear, hygiene and Toilet paper. A big old duffel bag hanging in the garage will suffice. it might take all of a hour this saturday to have this stuff ready.....

[WoodstockCat]

PTL you're safe!

[Interesting Times]

OMG......did you just hear Wolf Blitzer????

He actually said

"These people are so poor and so black."

All together, now... "How black ARE they, Wolfie?"

Grew up in Slidell? I hope that any family and friends you have in the area are okay. And a reminder to ME to be aware and treat EVERYONE (well most everyone!) on these threads as people with a personal interest in the area that may very well have loved ones in danger.

Cafferty had a brilliant idea: drop sandwiches and water on the super dome. Guy likes any notariety. I permenantly switched to FOX>

[lugsoul]

I wouldn't do it for me.

But, as I said, if it wasn't just me, and I was in that kind of Lord of the Flies setting, well...

[Rightly Biased]

Glad you are back safe.

[NautiNurse]

Good news dogbyte - thanks for the update

[Smogger]

Certainly there are probably lots of rumors flying around about stuff that happened.....that didn't actually happen.

I am sure there is plenty of bad stuff that HAS HAPPEND that we don't know about yet. So long as the police aren't chasing their tail.

[Palladin]

Smogger, what the heck are you smoking? Get real, Man!

[Peach]

I know a lot of parents would do it for their kids. Since I don't have any, I don't know either...

[ken5050]

Have you sen anything on the levees all day...

[NautiNurse]

Are you going to Zot him again, or will a time out do?

[conservativeinferno]

Anyone just hear Shep's report on Hannity? Where is the Ntl. Guard and the water, food, etc? WTF is going on?

[Smartass]

You asked, what I want to believe, was an honest question, and I believe, I answered with what I believed, an honest answer.

Concerns and performance have two different meanings. I'm glad you read and believe in the international press, because I have ZERO trust, nor do I believe in any of them, let alone ours! Again, I'm a performance driven person. Show me with actions, and then, if your not selling snake oil, I might trust and believe you. Until I see ships on the horizon, loaded airplanes landing with food, water, medical supplies etc., well, I think you get what I'm talking about! When that happens, I'll know about it, and be glad to shut up!
