My compliments to your wife Falc, a real heroin for sure.

I can't immagine the challenges she is facing in NO now.

A friend on mine has a daughter and son in law that used to live in NO. She is a chef/business manager at Emirl's Resturant there,or at least was. She an her husband are now in Atlanta, GA working. They left the week before. Their house may be sort of OK if the uptown area isn't under water yet.

Again, a salute to Falc's wife,

MicVic

Falcon,

I was amazed that you got back to me re my application when you have so much going on in your life.

Good luck to you and your family

thanks mate dudes,

Eileen has been working her gahboingahs off since last Wednesday. She took a break and made it home to see how the house made out.

Not badly, but she had to clean out the freezer and the fridge. Gah! She was so grossed out by what crawled, oozed and hobbled out of them that when she found a dead rat under the sink she just grabbed it by the arse, walked it over to the garbage and tossed it in

All power and services are up except cable TV and internet and they should be on by Wednesday.

Eileen says, "hey" to all the lads and said something about telling Helo and Spits that it's, "on for tonight" or something?

Today is Eileen's birthday and she is celebrating by getting her feet scraped at the newly reopened Walmart.

Never let it be said that we USians don't bounce back with class!


Fal "boing!" con

Glad to hear the homestead is intact!

Happy Birthday Eileen!!

You should tell her not to pick up dead rats by the arse...Weil's disease and all that.

Hope all the other furry things that used to live in the house are all OK.

Was it this Walmart?

Did she find anything in her colour/size?

Nice to hear your house is in relatively good condition, but I meant it's great news that Eileen's getting her feet scraped.

It's about time!


P.S. Tell her no prob, Spits & I'll be there.

Happy Birthday Eileen!!


Glad to hear your home survived.

BTW, what does being "on for tonight" mean? Is this slang for ... ?

<runs>

German news shows can´t stop announcing that the THW (Technisches Hilfswerk = Technical Support Agency) has sent 90 specialist with 25 high performance pumps to NO. Strange ... I´ve got a clear conscience now ... somehow ...

Good news about your house tough, Patrone. I hope NO will be pumped dry as soon as possible and the "real" life returns ... even to the plundered Wal-Mart store ...

Happy Birthday to the lovely WIFF!!

Yesterday at work, they passed a sheet around looking for "volunteers" to go to NO to work for a couple of weeks.

I'm on the list.

Throw an extra 12 pack in the fridge. I'll keep ya posted when and if they launch us that way.

Happy birthday Eileen

I'm happy to hear your house is ok

Regards,
Snoop

good news mate!
Happy Birthday Ei
... and tell her its not till october... cough

Good news falc. Wish her a happy birthday




Did the ..





survive?

Nice job pitchin' in there Willie. My wife is a nurse and she is helping out with the red cross here in Atlanta. They have set up three separate shelters around town. I get to watch the kids.

There's a bed waitin' for you Willie if you come!

Well, back home Sunday night,

tons of work done and left to do.

Must have gotten a lightning strike because dishwasher, a/c, some fans and ...

gasp!

my puter blown!

My power source is at least burned out and I'll find out about my mother board, etc when I can get to Baton Rouge (the nearest opened comp store) and buy a new power supply.

I'm using Eileen's business portable. Geez, what a fight THAT was, but my reasoning of, "what's more important, work, food, and a paycheck or the mates?" was flawless, plus I'm bigger than she is ... and she's really a soft touch if you give her 'puppy dog eyes' and grovel a lot.

Eileen again says, "hi!" to everyone and wants all to know that the wishes you sent of her 39th <choke cough choke> birthday were well appreciated.

It turns out that Eileen was lying to me about how well she was eating. One night she had frozen lettice and tea. Another night she had tomato juice (the remnants of the previous day's Spaggettios in a can) and a cookie for dinner. She met Sean Penn on her b-day, she said she'd rather have gotten a steak.

Ground lines are still not up and cell phone service is still a wee bit spotty. All the money I have saved for a new puter will be sucked up in the insurance deductable, but I didn't really want one anyway <double choke>.

More and more folks are heading back into the city. Large areas are being reopened so homes can be reached. Businesses are reopening. The lads who replaced my a/c compressor are working out of an old garage. Their offices are still under eight feet of water.

Helecopters fly over constantly. My home is ~17 mi. out from and directly under the ILS to RW 10 at Louis Armstrong airport. Lots of excitement.

I've been getting some E-mails about skinning and such. While my puter is down and my day is so full I won't be able to answer many questions very well. I suggest you go to UBI and ask there.

They are a silly lot, but very helpful.

The animals are all alive but some still very spooked.

More work to do, will write later.


Fal "got steak" con

Great to hear from you Falcon, and the progress that is being made. Also happy that the animals are fine. Pets are an important part of the family. Is the ferret still shaken mate?

About the computer business, I would suggest you solve that dilemma by keeping your wife's laptop.

Very best regards,
Mark
