U.S. Rescue Bogs Down in Lebanon

BEIRUT — Thousands of Americans whose vacations and business trips to Lebanon have degenerated with sickening speed into stints in a battle zone remained stranded here under Israeli bombardment Monday, their frustration and anger mounting because the U.S. government hasn't gotten them out faster.

Waiting around Beirut with bags packed and fingers crossed, U.S. citizens derided the embassy for busy phone lines, a lack of information and gnawing uncertainty over when and whether they will get out. Hundreds were expected to be shipped to Cyprus today, but how long the full evacuation will take remains uncertain.

You are supposed to ping those you are talking about. Now, where is that shrubbery admonishment when I need it.

Now, if it can be proven that you guys have conversed in the past would that make you a liar? I would say no, because you probably do not remember as I understand it is hard to remember everyone you speak with.

I leave this thread to bykr's minion.

[Lazamataz]

If you look like Ashley Judd, we need to date.

STAT.

[yellowdoghunter]

LOL! I can't count retaining water, sorry. But it was worth a shot!!! LOL!

My husband might object.

You are supposed to ping those you are talking about.
I told you to read the thread. And if you'd read my post #1258, the very last sentence says that
bykr babe can't be pinged because she's banned.

To: shhrubbery!

You know the rules. When speaking of another poster, make sure you ping that poster.

You don't have a jpeg of a yellow dog in a dunce cap, do you?

[yellowdoghunter]

You can still put her name in the To:

Plus I was referring to pinging me when you talk about me.

[Lazamataz]

My husband might object.

I'm willing to work with him.

He can come along and watch.

You're making entirely too much sense.

And she who shall be ignored seems to forget she admitted she was talking about me upthread when she discussed a freepmail. But huh - imagine this - I didn't get a ping despite her lectures that people shouldn't be talked about behind their backs. Something about glass houses is coming to mind...LOL.

[Peach]

Eeeew.

[yellowdoghunter]

You should have reminded me, we all forget sometimes.

Others would be admonished or possibly even suspended if they kept it up.

[Lazamataz]

Eeeew.

I'll take that as a yes.

See you tonight.

[Peach]

Be there or be square.

Before you may post this message, the following must be corrected:

* Could not find anybody named 'bykrbabe'

I don't see your name in #1282.

Though we are a much larger country, we have pretty close to zero except when urban blacks get insulted by something, then they protest by burning their own homes a bit and their neighborhoods.

Of course after that they complain they have nothing! Go figure.

[yellowdoghunter]

Can you read this....:)

[yellowdoghunter]

See #1299

You can still post her name in the To: box

Works just as good when you are talking about someone, either by name or name calling.
