Hurricane Katrina Live Thread, Part VI
NOAA - NHC ^ | 28 August 2005 | NOAA - NHC

Posted on 08/28/2005 2:38:16 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Extremely dangerous Hurricane Katrina is bearing down on the North Central Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans metro area. Thousands of people did not evacuate New Orleans. Outer bands of Katrina are reaching the Louisiana coast.

Due to the size and intensity of this storm, all interests in the North Gulf of Mexico should be in their safe locations.

Please stop the fighting and hitting abuse constantly, or we will start handing out suspensions. We've asked you all several times today to knock it off. What is so hard about following the guidelines? And, make your point to the poster in question, don't run to the mods everytime your widdle feelings are hurt.

Here's a clue for you: every thread on FR isn't a religion thread.

If you all would like to discuss God sending hurricanes, go to the Religion Forum and talk about it.

I don't think all 20 thousand will be in alcohol withdrawal. And all 20 thousand won't need medication.


True, but a number will need some sort of seditive, sleeping medication, or pain relief.

I use celery, bell peppers, onions & garlic up front in mine; here lately, I've been getting ham bones from Honey Baked Ham. You can get a bone for about $3.00 to $3.50; (they have enough meat on 'em to make a separate meal) I cut much of the meat off of the bone and use the bone in the beans. (the meat gets eaten separately...[g])

May God have mercy on our nation.

I think you could say that this is the most comfortable, healthy, happiest and most prosperous nation ever to have formed on this planet...

...Except for occasional crappy weather that has happened from time to time since time began.

"I had a friend who is a long time contributor to Free Republic."

Keywords.... had a friend and who is a long time contributor.

Must be he's not a friend any longer. I wonder why?

It is funny but have you ever known a llama personally,,they really are quite adorable. And sensitive, they spit at the least insult to their dignity. And once they spit on you, it is over, they will never like you again. Louie is a very charismatic llama.

Unless your religion is just the "feel good" kind where everything is coming up roses.

BTW, when you say stuff like that, you prove your agenda is to try to make yourself look better at the expense of others.

You look petty.
