That's okay. Some of my best friends like lima beans, too.
Doesn't Exxon have a major refinery in Port Arthur? Hope they took all precautions when they shut that baby down.
Or the bottom of Bette Midler.
Hmm I just assumed the darker print on the keyword list meant something. Maybe it refers to number of articles.
So Geraldo sounds same as usual?
That was Steve Harringan who does much better reporting from Iraq.
Ohhh Ohh. Ping me, please. I have to be gone in the AM, but I love french toast.
See the last sentence of my commentary at the top of the thread. Stever Whooooa Harrigan from FOX. They locked him out of the building too. Sweet.
hey where are you?
I just went outside and had a smoke...
... and just I gotta say...
Woooaaahhh!
* This has been a Fox News Alert! *
I don't live in kountze; one of my family members does. gotta run. talk more later~!
Two's company and three's a crowd?
We lost power about 1/2 ago. I stumbled outside in the dark and powered up the generator, ran the various extension cords, cursing under my breath, and when I was finished, after 20 minutes of work, the power came back on. It is flickering off/on every couple of minutes so I do not think it will last too long. < p>
All of you who are not electrically challenged -- be thankful.
Last time, I said the talking heads needed to be medicated. I'm thinking this time, maybe WE need the drugs.......LOL.
How's this for a catch phrase for the Hurricane Threads - suffering through the alphabet soup; so you don't have to :-)
Tornadoes touching down all over La.
*shakes head in sadness*
Aside from all the other damage this storm will do in Texas, I think it's also made it clear that a major American city will never be the same, ever. Maybe almost wiped off the map.
You know, it just struck me: I cried when Katrina hit and it seemed the city was gone, all the history, etc. I know I wasn't alone. Then with the president's speech, it seemed things were looking up, that it was possible to rebuild. Now, with the levees broken again and another storm apparently headed into the Gulf, I'm not so sure.
The loss of life is horrible. But it's also true that it seems the U.S. is about to lose a major city.
So I looked up the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's "Five Stages of Grief." It would be interesting to hear what people think fits in this situation:
· Denial
· Anger
· Bargaining
· Depression
· Acceptance
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Okay, I have to get to bed. Maybe this post is wildly off the mark, but I think, with time and perspective, it may not be.
