(((((((Marla & Dee)))))))

You are more than welcome. We wouldn't have things here for you any other way. Except maybe your own bed. We are thrilled you chose Dallas to come for safety. We are honored to have you here! Please know that Dallas is pretty much the South's apostate capital. There are many of us here. Should you decide to put down stakes here, you would have a pretty good network of friends. Yes, I understand it's not home. But it could become a lovely one should you decide to stay. You've found a lovely coffee shop already. Dallas has awesome restaurants. I have a fabulous therapist I'd love to recommend to you, should you want one. We don't have UNO, but UTD is right up the street from our house. My best friend is New Student Life Coordinator (or some fun title like that) and I'm sure she'd be happy to help you get your bearings there or help get resources at your hands. If that doesn't work, we could always play UNO around the coffee table with some of your fabulous Columbian coffee. (Sorry...throwing in a lame joke to make you smile. ) If you miss New Orleans muggy weather, we can accomodate ya' there too.

I will tell the Rodgers what you said. There was another couple (the Burrows) that helped pitch in I think, so I will make sure to send your message to them both. The makeup goodies are from Arrowstar. Just little things to make you feel pretty and whole again.

There are many of us here for you my friends. We will do whatever we can to make you feel at home. Temporarily or otherwise.

Love ya girl,

Andi

Lori,

PM me your number. Maybe we can talk? Bubbamar and some of her friends are still lacking in some clothing. Perhaps you have something they could use? (If we've already discussed this via PM, please forgive me. I've PMed with SO many from this board.)

Thanks,

After Katrina, do you now have an emergency plan?

by LyinEyes in

i know many people who live down south louisiana , were raised to be on guard for hurricanes.

i thought i heard on cnn that 80% did evacuate out.

i can imagine trying to get the most valuable things in a car , get my money out of the bank, gas the car up, put water and food in case traffic is jammed, clothes , medicine, pets, contacting family..all of that would be exasperating if some of it was not ready to go.. every year we have tornadoes, flooding, but the ice storms are what we are afraid up my way nw louisiana.

Dede,

first aid kid

How can I get me one of them??? Seriously...you have a great point. And as of right now, Mozz and I don't have a plan.

Andi - going off to talk to hubby about this.

Everyone,

If we could just get a lot of us to donate $5 or $10 dollars (or more if you can afford it), then that will help Marla and Dee tremendously. If everyone can sacrifice just a little, it will make a huge difference collectively! They are really two of the sweetest girls you could meet!

I just spent a little time with her and Dee and some of their other displaced friends over coffee this afternoon. It's difficult as I'm sure you can imagine, but between the teary moments, there is laughter and fun stories that are being shared. Good memories and just silly fluff talk. They need that and all of our collective prayers, good thoughts, well wishes, positive vibes...whatever your way of sharing good flowing energy. They are still working on a plan of whether or not to stay in Dallas, but for the moment I think they're just trying to enjoy the holiday weekend. They have friends here that are providing shelter and encouraging company, but funds are still needed. Please contribute if you can...even if it's just a little.

You guys on this board make me SO VERY PROUD to be an apostate!

Our New Orleans is gone.

by LyinEyes in

jw
friends

after talking to many of the evacuees from new orleans and watching all of the local coverage , interviews of surviors ,they are just thankful to be alive.

they are also in deep despair over family members who they can not find, they don't know if they are alive or dead.

not to mention the ones they know are gone.. there are so many are just heartbroken that the home they knew is gone forever .

Billygoat

So many I hear are not going back, I am sure it is too soon for them to know for sure what to do.

Considering how little is probably left, do you blame them? I know I'd feel completely overwhelmed and horrified. God help and bless everyone!

Check out my Bra!!!

by ButtLight in

on thursday night, joe nichols played at the state fair here.

after the concert he came into the beer tent with his band members and security guards to drink.

i got to meet him and he autographed my bra!

Billygoat

Maybe you should put that in a shadow box with your concert tickets and some pictures.

Rescue inequality?

by Simon in

this doesn't sound right:.

hyatt guests given priority.

at one point friday, the evacuation was interrupted briefly when school buses rolled up so some 700 guests and employees from the hyatt hotel could move to the head of the evacuation line much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the stinking superdome since last sunday.. how does this work?

Billygoat

From what I understand, yes, this is for real. Yesterday, a young couple with their young (probably now motherless) neice, was brought to Dallas. The lady had said they had to surround their children, especially the young girls, in order to protect them. They could never leave them alone, nor could they both sleep at the same time. They slept in shifts in order for someone to be awake to protect the children.

What a sad indictment of society. How can that be descibed as "civilisation"?

It's not Simon. It's not. But the people that were committing such horrible acts are just a few hundred in a city of several hundred thousand. Doesn't make it any less horrible, but at least it helps put it in perpective of the city as a whole. We do not excuse their behavior because of the circumstances, in fact, we abhor their behavior that much more. It is a sad indictment to mankind...not just New Orleans or America.

THANKS 'POSTATES!

i can't believe it.

as many of you know, my wife is still a jw.

she is very "liberal" and doesn't agree with all the dogma.

Billygoat

I think she's beginning to think that JW's may have been god's people at one time, but they may not have his approval anymore.

This is something I'm saving to save for my parents some day. Great point to consider from their perspective.
