Okay, just wanted to make sure. Thank you!

So, if I hate my username because I was using something silly and stoopid 'cause I it took me months to think of anything better, should I-- A) Reregister, use the new account exclusively and pretend the old one doesn't exist anymore, B) Ask the moderators to delete the old account (before or...

This is what I'd have on the desktop. Step one: Create a Destop Toolbar. Step two: Hide desktop icons. Step Three: Actually see my desktop wallpaper. That's how it works in Windows 98, anyway.

There was much talk on the news channels this evening of the danger of contact with the stagnant contaminated water in N.O. This has a lot to do with the decision to start forcing the remaining stragglers in the city to leave. They need to get out before the flood waters make them ill or kill...

Please keep in mind that the staff of many congresspersons largely ignore email, as emails can be (and unfortunately, occasionally are) written in the heat of a moment. I'm not saying that's it right that they do so, just saying that they do often ignore emails. Please consider a good old...

:lmao: I am sitting here after reading irvine's post and deep's little comment here. one makes me want to cry my eyes out and rant and scream ... ... and the other makes me laugh like a loon. deep, you take the cake. :kiss:

The "more privileged" who lost their boats and cars and nice houses--they DIDN'T lose their fancy insurance policies. So don't expect me to buy that "Oh this will be good for the underprivileged" crap. Yeah, right. It's better to have spent five or six or more days stranded in N.O. Hell and...

I heard today on the coverage today that a Senator (and now I can't, so help me, remember his name--does anyone else know it?) will introduce a Bill to declare FEMA an independent agency reporting solely to the President. I hope it goes through. FEMA should be an independent operator free of...

Re: Re: FEMA: "Americans don't live in tents". Americans don't live in tents. Americans don't become refugees. I know that it may make people feel better to call themselves 'displaced' or 'survivors', but the fact is that they are refugees from a natural disaster. I know that the news and...

Too true, Verte. The city wasn't prepared. But I find it especially frustrating that FEMA and the Federal government weren't prepared either, even though the experts like Van Heerden had been telling them for years what would happen. And that makes my heart break even more for all those...

I hope they take the opportunity when rebuilding (which is probably a mistake in and of itself) to move the majority of residential districts to higher ground. In fact, that may be the very most we can expect them to do about the basic NO flaw: most of the damn city being below sea level...

Americans don't do a lot of things: like elect incompetent leaders who fail to properly prepare for disasters. Yeah, right. This FEMA quote pissed me the ever living fuck off. And so do people (and there still are a few) who believe that nobody knew how bad it would be if a big one hit N.O...

Ivor Van Heerden, Chicago Tribune http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-050901relief-story,1,490120.story?coll=chi-news-hed ... the hurricane experts shook their heads in disgust and futility, much of it directed at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). "We told FEMA...
