  5. I would like to start this topic so that any/all of our members that were in Katrina's path can post and let us know they are OK. I relize that it will be a while before anyone in the area can post. If anyone hears from one of our members, PLEASE post for them. You can use it for your family members that are in the area as well. Prayers going up for each and everyone.

  6. Then I counted our membership list. I figure we have at least 30 in those 3 states (La.,Ms. Ala. ).

    I imagine that some of the 1132 that do not claim a location must be from that area also.

    Hope all check in with us when they get electricity back.

    Thanks Donna. I was just getting ready to check the list and post the results. If anyone hears from any of these 30 plus, please post that they are ok.

    Am glad to hear that Lil and Don's family are accounted for.

  7. I just hate it when an employer throws a question at you like that. Had one ask me one time why I felt like he should hire me. Anyway, I am sure you will do fine on the second interview. Good Luck.

    PS: Frank, the question is not how she got a speeding ticket in an Explorer but "how she got a speeding ticket in OK. :wink:

  8. Listen to Ry Beth. Don't make her go through with that.

    Seriously, hope you hurry back. We miss you here when you are away. We miss that humor of yours. Praying that things get better soon.

  9. First of all let me say "Welcome." Smoking is a very tough habit to break. We had a very lenghty discussion on it a while back. Do a search and you will find the post for it.

    Second, and I'm not taking sides here, 30 plus years is a long time. I smoked for 35 years also. Yes, there is no question that he should stop now. You must remember tho, you can't live his life for him no more then he can live yours.

    There is no question. Cancer is a deadly disease. The only advice I can offer you is to accept what he chooses to do. Life is short. Cherish every moment you have with him. Don't waste it trying to change him.

    Visit us again and let us know how things are. We Care.

  10. Altho I have never lost a spouse, I know it must be hard on you. You are a strong lady and have proven it many times over.

    Let me add that I am glad you have stayed with us here. I always look forward to your posts.
