69What am I so scared of?
by katiekitten inive thought about posting this for a good few weeks, and finally decided to now the initial upset and outrage have calmed down in me.
hopefully i will be more objective in my post, and more robust to take some constructive critisism.. i have been divorced 7 years, since my daughter was 1.
50% of the blame was mine, definately.

Counselling can take many forms, Ballistic.
I have a few UK friends, and haven't heard that opinion expressed. Hope I didn't cross any boundary ... not referring to psychological analysis, but more working with a mediator of some sort that can help everyone express their feelings and see the other side / point of view. Hopefully towards the goal of reconciling to a better approach for all.
Sorry KatieK if i insulted you in any way.

I too agree that some sort of family counselling should be sought. If you truly believe he isn't purposely being emotionally abusive and truly loves his daughter, then the best thing for all of you would be to address whatever issues so that healthy relationships can be formed amongst all of you.
In the long run, this would have the optimal benefit for your daughter in terms of forming strong bonds in the future with men, friends or otherwise.
Likewise, it might help further heal the break and issues between you and your ex. And help you with the communication issues you're facing with him and issues of control.
Best of luck to you, I know how fierce a mother's love can be.

How many of the "poor" do you think spent the day before the hurricane buying their supplies of cigarettes and liquor ? Not all of them...but some sure did. The Superdome was said to be filled with crack pipes. How many of the "poor" do you think spent the day before the hurricane buying their supply of crack cocaine? Not all of them...but a few did.
Many elderly people could have
As for the "poor", yet able-bodied adults.....give me a break. Anyone of them that really wanted to flee, could have
I am just pointing out that it is easy to see what a majority of these people were really thinking (or not thinking) when they were told to evacuate from town or evacuate to the Superdome. Many CHOOSE not to. Those that choose to remain in their homes probably would have made the same choice even if they were wealthy people.
Wow, that's a lot of would haves, could haves, and po' folks generalizations (and I didn't even copy ALL of them from your run on sentence of a paragraph of a rant).
Do you live there? are these your personal observations or more gross generalizations made from watching one or two TV channels? There are so many inaccuracies, generalizations and what not in this post it pains one to attempt to digest it.
You sit in your comfy home and postulate about what YOU would have done if YOU were there. You weren't. It takes a lot of nerve to sit in judgement on others like this. Especially in the disaster situation they are all in.

BrendaC- Your post piqued my curiousity ... so I went to google.com to see if there was any validity to this story:
(Adds Baton Rouge service, paragraphs 18-19, edits)Some evacuees see religious message in Katrina 04 Sep 2005 21:18:37 GMT Source: Reuters By Adam Tanner
HOUSTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - In the last week, Joseph Brant lost his apartment, walked by scores of dead in the streets, traversed pools of toxic water and endured an arduous journey to escape the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in his hometown New Orleans.
On Sunday, he was praising the Lord, saying the ordeal was a test that ended up dispelling his lifelong distrust of white people and setting his life on a new course. He said he hitched a ride on Friday in a van driven by a group of white folks.
"Before this whole thing I had a complex about white people; this thing changed me forever," said Brant, 36, a truck driver who, like many of the refugees receiving public assistance in Houston, Texas, is black.
"It was a spiritual experience for me, man," he said of the aftermath of a catastrophe al Qaeda-linked Web sites called evidence of the "wrath of God" striking an arrogant America.
Brant was one of many refugees across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi who gave thought to religion on Sunday, almost a week after the floods changed their lives, perhaps forever.
At the Astrodome in Houston, where 16,000 refugees received food and shelter, Rose McNeely took the floods as a sign from God to move away from New Orleans, where she said her two grown children had been killed in past years in gunfights.
"I lost everything I had in New Orleans," she said. "He brought me here because he knows."
Nearby, others looked for a different kind of higher ground and smoked marijuana in the shade outside the Astrodome.
Inside, Gerald Greenwood, 55, had collected a free Bible but sat watching a science fiction television program above the stands in an enclosed stadium once home to Houston's baseball and football teams. "This is the work of Satan right here," he said of the floods.
The Bible was one of the few books many of the refugees had among their possessions. Several Jehovah's Witnesses walked around thousands of cots to offer their services.

I won't shave my body hair, so there!
by crankytoe inmost of the women i've dated never seemed to have a problem with my body hair.
but every now and then i run into a girl who seems both amazed and disgusted by it.
it's happened often enough now - so i'm wondering if all women are turned off to varying degrees?.

I like my man trimmed.
THAT reminds of a Sex and The City episode ... where Samantha insists on like-for-like in the body hair trimming department... anyone remember it?

Great Idea, Talesin!! (BTW, Aaron Neville's rendition of Amazing Grace on the msnbc music special was nothing short of amazing.)
Here are a couple of the nicer or more inspiring, hopeful stories beginning to emerge:
My parents, grandmother, and aunt and uncle all decided to ride out the storm in Long Beach, Mississippi, right outside Gulfport (despite the fact that my sister and I begged them to leave). I have been pacing the floor and praying since Sunday night. It is now Tuesday at around 3:30, and I just got a call from a complete stranger telling me my family is alright. My father saw her on the road and asked if she was able to get cell reception. This lovely woman said she thought she could get some farther north in Mississippi, where they were headed. She took my name and number, and kept calling until she got me. Charlotte, wherever you are, thank you.
Ayn McLaurin
Atlanta, GeorgiaThis is just a small story about the hurricane evacuees that found their way to Farmerville, Louisiana, in the northern part of the state. Farmerville is a small town with only one motel, which filled very quickly. The town of Farmerville then offered the local recreation center to house the overflow. Pilgrim's Pride, who has a chicken processing plant located there, donated cases of chicken which was then prepared by our local volunteer fire department and others for these unfortunate people. The whole town has rallied in an effort to do what they can to alleviate some of the pain of this terrible tragedy. I am sure that there are many small towns across Louisiana that are doing the same.
Lyn Kenley
Farmerville, LouisianaMy daughter teaches a special ed class in a north Texas high school, which is in a part of the state that is definitely not affluent. The school wanted to take up a collection for the hurricane relief fund. The special ed kids (some of them autistic, some in wheelchairs) wanted to participate, so they gave the only thing they could --their soda money. This should be a reminder to everyone that even the price of a soda will help. I am attending volunteer orientation with the Red Cross tomorrow in Dallas to try and help. Thank you and God bless us all.
