From the same site - a list of high water closures. Looks like Beltway 8 and US59 are clear of high water. Beltway 8 to 59 looks clear sailing.
I’m just guessing if they want help the organizations will. No power is a big detriment to home assistance.
I’d try to see what area churches are doing with their efforts.
I’m afraid you’re right. They have no clue, do they? Without their blackberries, they have no identity. Their life is wrapped around a piece of electronics.
Zoolander? I had not heard of that one:')
**bttt**
Zoolander’s problem is that he’s mesmerized by his own reflection in the mirror. Now mind you, he IS a pretty boy. But he has NOTHING else. I imagine when he sleeps with his wife he tapes a mirror to her face so he can see himself. (did I just say that? - oh my)
I would say he’s similar to the silky pony except he has brains and doesn’t think with his *ya know what*. He does not respect women or anyone else for that matter. He totally thinks he’s a God and we are all his adoring puppets. He’s quite flagrant about it, like he’s the only one smart enough to get it. I have no clue what Bush was thinking by dumping him on us. And to top it off, he’s the best choice we’ve had and we re-elected him. Oh well.....
King Richard. He’s either being really good or really bad.
Is jpsb the only Freeper who we know was in a bad place who hasn’t checked in?
They should have asked he would mind if they recorded his conversation so everybody working to restore his service would hear him directly. More than likely, his arrogant behavior would have insisted upon no less. Then they could have broadcast him throughout their cable services as a public service for the entire area to know who the fellow was and let him reap the consequences of his behavior in that particular market.
I can read my President, he is extremely depressed.
The problem is Ike and another large storm joined forces over Missouri and Illinois and off they went together towards the Northeast. I think it up in northeast Canada now.
I’m not at all surprised. We called Direct TV yesterday and they credited our account for over $100 and we didn’t even ask them to, we just wanted on the list to get service. We were given an appt for 9/26 for the guy to come get the signal back. My husband got up there after the call and adjusted it himself and it’s fine now. We’re going to give it a few days and make sure and then cancel the service call. Most of the time, you can get a lot more if you don’t demand the impossible. I hate to be on the other end of the line for some of these calls from people demanding services right now.
NautiNurse, thanks so much for creating and riding herd on these threads over the last several days. I have family and friends in and around Houston that naturally, I was concerned about. Without a doubt a was able to collect more information from the hurricane threads than I would have otherwise. It’s folks like you that make this world a little better!! Thanks again!!

Did the hurricane making machine die after Ike? LOL
Seriously, I hate to hear that. I try to stay away from the tv for news. He usually does take things like this very hard and very personal. He has a big heart. I will say a prayer for him tonight. Also it may be other things weighing on his heart that we don’t know about.
Let us know what you hear.
I think they are trying to hide it, but I hope I am wrong.
Hey there,,,

Po’trash-man is gunna have a backache,,,;0)
“I imagine when he sleeps with his wife he tapes a mirror to her face so he can see himself. (did I just say that? - oh my)”
Hmm... if I shaved... maybe a little lipstick...
Nah! *nevermind*
Do I know you, or was this another one? The one I remember was a 6’1” guy who had a 5’4” girl ready to take his face off.
