Re: If you want a thread to die
WOW. Got out by a prayer. Thanks.
Neighbor across the street got 2" in their house, two blocks away 1.5 feet. This was unbelievable.
Lotta clean-up work to be done. Trading in the sand bag shovel for squeegee and mops. Lotta "stuff"to tear out and disinfect in the 'hood. Most of us just got power back in time for this morning break. No end to opportunities to show a little of God's love around here.:D
We had about 100 folk in our church gym but they had to be transferred because of the threat of water making it into the gym Saturday afternoon. I lost count of the loads of sand that was gone thru Saturday, but this old 72 year old frame held up pretty good. I'm almost an expert at sand bagging now. Hope I never have to try to break any records in the future. It took me a while to get out of bed this morning. :laugh:
70, hope our cousin made it thru okay, and likewise for all the Dawgs out there.
If you are high and dry, whisper a little prayer of thanks.

Re: If you want a thread to die
Just heard from cousins in Zachary. Water was very close to them, but has receded now. Several of their in-laws have water in their homes though. Hope all affected get relief they need.

Re: If you want a thread to die
Glad the flood missed you!
The quotes about the "old days" reminded me of a few things: 5 Cent cokes and Candy; penny bubble gum; Saturday baseball with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese, with the "old pro" selling Falstaff beer; Friday Night fights sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon beer; a scary show called "The Squeaking Door"; the Mickey Mouse club; Pinky Lee; hot summer nights with no air conditioning; Name that Tune; Doctor visits at home; and waiting days for the television repair man to show up to fix the TV.

We were fortunate to have a TV repairman who lived 4 houses down from us. However, when he would come over to see what was wrong, the TV would operate just fine. He would stay an hour or two....then say if it acts up again, give me a call. I enjoyed watching TV with y'all.

Zachary was hit pretty hard. They are North West of us (and across the Comite River). The Comite and Amite Rivers merge Just North of HWY 190 between Baton Rouge and Denham Springs. Central, where we live, is between the two rivers.
Today, all the excitement is down around Gonzales as all the "lower" tributaries are backing up.
One report said 90% of homes in Livingston Parish have taken on water. East side Ascension Parish may turn out worse.
Its some mess yah Cher.

Re: If you want a thread to die
Pastry Shop
Sleight of hand
Donald and Hillary Go Into A Bakery on the Campaign Trail. As soon as they enter the bakery, Hillary steals three pastries and puts them in her pocket.
She says to Donald, "See how clever I am? The owner didn't see anything and I don't even need to lie. I will definitely win the election. "
Donald says to Hillary, "That's the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result."
Donald goes to the owner of the bakery and says, "Give me a pastry andI will show you a magic trick."
Intrigued, the owner accepts and gives him a pastry.
Trump swallows it and asks for another one.
The owner gives him another one.
Then Donald asks for a third pastry and eats that, too.
The owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks, "What did you do with the pastries?"
Trump replies, "Look in Hillary's pocket"..

Re: If you want a thread to die
Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in
South Carolina, asked the audience for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.
Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'
Then, little Darrell, with a proud South Carolina drawl, pierced the quiet and said: "Well, dumbass, stop clappin' !”

Re: If you want a thread to die
CALL THE POLICE- WHEN YOU'RE OLD, AND YOU DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.George Phillips, an elderly man from Walled Lake, Michigan, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turnoff the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"
He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me."Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy, you should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available"George said, "Okay." He hung up the phone and counted to 30.Then he phoned the police again."Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both; the dogs are eating them right now," and he hung up. Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.One of the Policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

That would be funny if it weren't so true. I called 911 because I had received a threatening phone call saying someone was coming over to assault. It took the police almost an hour to arrive. Fortunately it was a hoax.

Re: If you want a thread to die
This could happen to you.....
This is what all of us: 70+, other seniors, and kids (south of 60) have to look forward to!! This is something that happened at an assisted living center.
The people who lived there have small apartments but they all eat at a central cafeteria.
One morning one of the residents didn ' t show up for breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining area.
An hour later he still hadn ' t arrived so she went back up towards his room and she found him on the stairs.
He was coming down the stairs but was having a hell of time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have trouble getting his legs to work right. She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn ' t in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast.
When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up even the first step so they called an ambulance for him. A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing.
The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one leg of his boxer shorts

Perhaps if that moderator ate more bran, it could possibly help his attitude. It may have been moved to the Paw-litics forum because I posted something about Hillary!

Re: If you want a thread to die
Something that reeeeeallly bothers me is to see politicians invited and allowed to spew politics in a church service. I fear those churches, especially the leadership, "got some 'splainin' to do" and I would have absolutely nothing to do with such a church. And I absolutely pray the politician that does that comes to realize what they have done.
Many such (that do this sort of thing) support the idea churches should lose their tax deferment if the leaders speak out politically (except for those in favor of them I suppose).
It is one thing to acknowledge their presence (if they keep their mouth shut), but to turn a House of Prayer into a political meeting... woah Nelly!
