Prayers just said for those in the hurricane areas. Hope you are able to stay safe. If anyone on here is in the hurricane areas do check in & let us know you are okay... <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

Most of my family is in la (lower alabama). Blundervibes headed out from here for sure. My son and the chat server are both in Mobile.

Blundervibes to Digus and all others in the area of devastation.

Hope he came through with minimal difficulty!

They showed a few pics on our news and of those in Norway? I might have that wrong as I couldn't hear or see the TV properly at the time, it did all look very bad though,

Thoughts and prays
Bev and Alan.

Oh, yes! Blundervibes and prayers appear to be needed. It just gets worse and worse.

Has anyone heard how Lake Charles made out?

As of yesterday it was unaffected. Sherry said that it was sunny and you'd never know what was happening to the east. She was baking cookies to take to a shelter where people who'd evactuated to the Lake Charles area were staying.

yes, i spoke with sherry for a minute last night, and was thankful that the hurricane skipped lake charles... actually, the real story is that no hurricane has the nerve to try and get near sherry! Would'a turned that hurricane into a dripping shower head...

Glad she's okay & her area was okay. So sad about the folks in the hurricanes path...

howdy folks..thanks for all the love and concern and phone calls and e mails! ken and i are dong fine and as you already heard..the only sign of katrina here is the 15000 plus people who are now living in our civic center and the coliseum and assorted other locations in our area. i have been volunteering with the red cross and will continue to do so while i am still here and able (i'm getting my 4 wisdom teeth pulled next week so that may slow me down a bit). yesterday i was sorting shoes and clothing. the outpouring from our local community has been as overwhelming as the devastation in the new orleans area. it's a beautiful thing to see folks rise to an occassion. it's equally mind blowing walking though rows and rows of beds of people who have no idea when they can go 'back to where they came from' and not have a home to go back to at all.

not much else is worth saying these days. i love you.

thanks again....
me

Good luck with the wisdom teeh. Hope thing go better for you & the folks out your way. Sending our prayers out that way...
