a couple of really terrible things happened to me and my family recently.. i would like to talk about it but i am afraid to reveal details because i have been attending meetings again to help someone dear to me.

but, i am having such a hard time handling my emotions, i just don't know what to do with them anymore.

Karly, As many have said, PM anybody here. If they can't help, they will know of somebody who can. Our states, and towns are not always on our profiles, but I as many, have given so many hints, that somebody will know one of us that is close to you. I hope that you are not in South Texas though.

Elsewhere, I didn't get back to you about the 100 mile thing.

Ok. I'm a little over the 100 mile point, You are very welcome to come here. How many Dallasites will be coming? I'll step off 3 foot sections, and see how many I can fit in. HL

Rita a Category 5 with 165 mph winds now!

if it keeps escalating like this, it'll be a monstrosity before it makes landfall.

I have to ask a question. Why in the hell, would they build a nuke plant, in an area where there are hurricanes? HL Must have been built during the other political partys reign. j/k Frannie, you better not be reading this, Or you doogie.

Do you have a personal/family emergency evacuation plan?

after witnessing the aftermath of katrina and what she did to the unprepared evacuees, mozz and i decided it was time to put together our emergency evacuation plan.

we started by simply going to www.redcross.org.

there is a search engine on the top right side of their website and i entered "emergency disaster plan".

Elsewhere: Why 100 miles away? HL Give me a reason, and we may talk.

Never ever shop at Comet

i went to comet yesterday and bought a new tv, it cost 1300 so ofcourse we handled it with utmost care all the way home.. when we got it home we took it out of the packaging to discover a huge crack all the way down the screen.. so i phoned up the customer service helpline and was put through to the store we bought it from, and spoke to the most unhelpfullest people on the planet, they denied all responsibility but eventually agreed to send an engineer round to fix it tomorrow.. then today i got a phone call from their repair department saying that the engineer was booked in error and that i should contact phillips, the makers of the tv.. so i phoned phillips and they said i should contact the store for a refund or exchange.. so i just phoned the store back and spoke to one of the muppets from the office who again denied it was their fault and said she will speak to the repair department again and call me back.. does anyone know what i can do about this or what i'm entitled to?

Germannnnnnnnnnnn. I don't know how big the TV is, but it would be even worse to open the box before taking it home. They are supposed to pack these things to prevent these things from happening. Thick cardboard, foam, styrofoam galore, All sealed into a nice secure package.

I think it happened at the factory. Some kid probably mishandled it, and his butt was already on the line. So she was the unlucky one who got it. HL

But my husband would probably want to do the same thing as you. MEN HL

It's now a Catagory 5. Frannie, I can just picture you going to Doogie's and grabbing an earlobe, and yanking him down from his 3rd story castle. Telling him he better get his ASS to Dallas.

On the Weather Channel just now, the lady was telling some of the things to stock up on. Water, Batteries, Alcohol,... But then she corrected herself and said rubbing alcohol. LOL She should have just listed those as seperate. HL
