This board can be used as a missing folks board for people who are away from the site for a period of time. This rpobably would mean a month or longer.
If anyone has info on some one who hasn't been at the site for some time please let others know. The original intent of this board was to get and give info on missing people after Katrina and Rita hit the US..
you make them??? oh boy! Make sure you pick her up Flooz! Jim will love Linda for life!
We were saying that if Wilma looked like it was heading any where near Nawlins, we were running down to get some beignets, and cafe au lait, before Wilma did!!!!
LOL @ you sillys. Cafe Dumonde is open for business and serving Beignets. It was very nice to see a Nawlins tradition come back. The French Quarter is alive and well.
Bourbon street is booming.
Come here Flooz and I'll make Beignets.
Please pay Louisiana speeding tickets promtly our state could use the revenue and our politicians need something to squander..LOL
baddessi your Dan sounds like Justin Wilson. He ran a red light and got pulled over by a cop. The cop asked didn't he see the red light to which he replied hell yeah but I sure didn't see you.
... umm...not sure it's open for business as yet, Eriisa, but we have a place close by my house we can pick some up, great kolaches as well!!
Floose- if you head this way, you may need to pick up linda..you won't have to travel alone and we could use a good cook!! And the party will be better with 4 instead of 3..I'm sure Eriisa has enough pool chairs and cabana boys to go around!
and don't make the same mistake we made when we got pulled over either. We were going down to Sabine Pass to the docks on hwy 87 and got pulled over for going 85 in a 60 mph zone. Dan looked at the officer and pointed to the highway sign and said "Well that sign there says 87", to which the cop replied "you're a regular comedian, aren't you? I suppose when you get back to I-10 you'll go 10 mph too!" Dan just grinned and said "Oh! That's an I?"
We got the ticket
NOT a floosie: I don't care what you think is the safest - just get your backside out of there. You know as well as I do that these things have a nasty habit of being predictably unpredictable. They can change course at any time.
GET TO BADDY'S. I know, I know.... a giant swirling mass of hot air and noise, but that's baddy for you.
Every threat I made on the phone concerning your godson still stands. Shocking pink with sequins and tassles is just the start.
So you see, you don't really have a choice. GET OUT NOW!
*I've just worked out an intricate and detailed route for you to follow from your place in Florida to baddy's place in Texas:
Go to Jacksonville and turn left.
I also discovered you have to go on Interstate 10!
Remember, if you're stopped for speeding on I10 don't make the same mistake I did.
Thanks for all the concerns, I really do appreciate them. No one knows where this one is going to land and until it gets into the Gulf of Mexico a little more it could be any place on the west coast, or not.
I'm between Tampa and Ft. Myers and do take these storms very seriously. I caught the edge of the eye when Hurricane Charley came though last year and know the damage and destruction they can cause.
I'm watching the reports. Tomorrow morning will be making final preparations, closing up the house, and making a decision as to leave or stay. Either way, the decision will be based what I think will be the safest.
NOT a floosie: Ok hard head park in front but come on.
All jokes aside Flooz, this thing is already setting records. I don't know exactly how close you are to where it will hit. But if it's closer then 300 hundred miles I'd get OUT.
I'm a good cook. Come on over!!!!!
NOT a floosie: hmmm..I couldn't drive all the way to Florida in time to get Floose, BUT I sure as heck can get in my car when she gets here and make the 3-4 hour drive up to Eriisa's pool! All 3 of us aren't working- sure sounds like a party to me!! What do ya say Floose!????!
If I can't park my trailer in the front, complete with queen size mattress in the back, and fancy colored lights and pink flamingos, and astro-turf lawn I'll have to think twice about stopping there.
Don't bet on that one baddy. Bum tells me he's calling your house tomorrow and says I better be there....or else! I don't think he realizes it's more than a one day drive. :o)
baddessi: LOL I promise not to let her count to many flamingos. If the weather gets to bad we'll visit Bumble and pick olives. Bumble send airfare. One blue haired lady and Patty & Selma. You know Patty would get lonely without me.
Linda J: I hear she carries spares with her wherever she goes...I just wrote her and told her to come to Texas..but it's cool if she grabs you on the way...
Where are ya? Wilma is headed your way. For the time being it looks like she may be bringing Fred and the rest of the flintstones with her. Come on over to Louisiana girlfriend, this house could use another nut for awhile. Please park ugly trailor in back and tone down blue hair. I draw the line on flamingos in the yard though. Oh what the heck, bring them too.
Eriisa: No one has answered you so I'm guessing no one has heard from her.. Sorry.... I know when she came back after being a way a half year or so she was pretty quiet... maybe she didnt wanna stick around?
I had that thought on the weekend as well. Lotta folks dissapear from the site with out a word to most folks so maybe it is a good idea to change it to find a person as well as keep the original idea on here as well.
I think it would be a good board as a "find a person" board - even if not by tragidy, but even normal "Hey, I have not seen XXX around lately - anyone heard anything about them" or something like that.
Nirvana: I have to agree with you on keeping this board open.Hurricane season isn't over yet not till around November in Pensacola,Fla anyways.
All over the world there are disasters and this site is worldwide with members from many countries.
