Sadly, I do not believe it is far from the truth. (I think that is why it comes off as so funny.)
Thanks, but no.
Arnold S., the Gov. of California is sending 500 National Guardsmen and equipment!
We'll only hear from the so called celebrities when they can get their face on TV.
That's terrible.
One of the things that I've learned after 'being in the middle' of three hurricanes and two TS's in the last year is that the ones affected know the least about what's going on...you become isolated. I just got phone service back today, still no electricity and other than trees and limbs down every where, we came through pretty good.

Personal email excerpt RE: Prisoner transfer from New Orleans
I've heard an unconfirmed (by me) rumor that SMU is taking in some Tulane students. I heard on the radio that Metroplex hospitals are going to make available 1000 beds for those who need hospitalization.
Thank you for the explanation. You must enjoy living among such people.
The article said it all. THX
Bottom line is the cost to rebuild NO has to be far more than what they are estimating.
I say screw the hellhole. Rebuild elsewhere.
No prob. Around here there are constantly charity events. Churches collecting food, piles of winter coats at the supermarket, blood drives, bone-marrow drives, cancer fundraisers, and just tons of things. But, I remember that particular statistic you mentioned and it was basically because the giving goes unreported...maybe something about our tax system? I forget...:-)
drew out.
That is reverrrrr...rand.
I crack up everytime I hear Rush pronounce Jackson's name. Reverrrr.rand Jaaackson Great job on the threads Nautinurse. I like the new events of the day listed at the top as they occur. What about adding the date/time just so we will know it was today and not a prior day. Of course you might have been doing that all along - I am not the most observant person around.
Frankly, my dear...
My stepson was in Iraq and Jordan in the early months of the war. We asked him to bring us back some MRE's and we tasted several. They were NOT bad and if I was in New Orleans and hungry, I'd be happy to have one.
Cage matched some very large corporations with that bid.
Good man.
They did go to the Convention Center with food/water?
I must have missed that.
I think I'll be falling asleep to that. Thanks for the reminder.
Astrodome getting crowded. The nice neat setup of cots are now rearranged.
France lost more than hundreds. It was over 20,000 as I recall; my brother and sil were in France that summer while we babysat their two daughters.
You caught that too.
