Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

Take all the time you need. The fact that you were able to get the results up this morning is pretty amazing.

I find it mind-boggling (but then again, maybe I shouldn't) that our wonderful government seems to be doing almost exactly the same "heckuva job" that it did three years ago ...

Glad to hear things are relatively OK with you. Take care.

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

Were there any headlines along the lines of Ike beats Texas? You hate to make light of the situation but that headline needs to happen!

I'm glad you're doing ok and hope everything gets back to normalcy down there real soon!

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

Nobody's gonna blame you schleuse
thanks for that great job you're doing for HOA
Hope everything will settle soon

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

Apologies for going slightly off-topic, but John's post reminded me about this: when Ike Turner passed away earlier this year, the always-tasteful NEW YORK POST offered this headline: "IKE 'BEATS' TINA TO DEATH". I.e., he died first, so he "beat her to death", geddit?

I mean, talk about "making light", right? They managed to trivialize a person's death AND the issue of domestic violence. And yet, dammit, on some level you can't help but stand in awe of it.

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology



Wow. I wouldn't have thought you'd even see that kind of a headline in The Onion!

I was referring to Scheluse's last sentence and maybe thinking that some paper screwed up and printed something like that. That actual headline is crazy, really insensitive and kind of funny all at the same time!

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

Take care of yourself, scheulse!

I have a brother in Miami and an Aunt in the Rio Grande Valley, so I watch the weather during hurricane season closely. I'm sorry Houston got hit this time.

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

after Keith told the press that he's snorted his father's ashes, the New York Post ran "Father Nose Best"

god i love that paper

Re: Ike dispatch and an apology

No need to apologize, schleuse, you are doing an excellent work in HOA (and all the previous games) even in the most adverse situations. From a part of the world (Mediterranean sea) in wich hurricanes and earthquakes simply never happen (well, forest fires and floods sadly yes) I simply can’t think about the ever provisional feeling of the people living in areas with hurricanes happening periodically. I’m really glad to know that you and your family haven’t suffered important damages.
