From when? Mandatory evacuation orders for Galveston's West End were given on Wednesday (along with coastal Brazoria County and other areas). And it was apparent that Ike was headed to somewhere on the Texas coast as early as Monday. Galveston was hit harder than earlier expected, but if you live on the coast and a hurricane is coming, don't wait for the government to drag you out of your home! If I still lived in Jones Creek, I'd have been out on Wednesday. I realize that there may have been extenuating circumstances that kept some people in place, but anyone who wanted to evacuate had plenty of time and warning. George

I notice that most of the videos on the site are of a more salacious nature. I may have to check back later! George

I'll keep that in mind for the future. We have an installer coming this afternoon to take care of it. Thanks, George

I've been a little busy the past few days (Hurricane Ike, and all). I think Now I See should just tell us who it is and go ahead with another author. George

Don't know the show yet, but you can find quotes in a number of places, IMDb and TV.com to name two. If you google "(name of show)" and "quotes" you can usually find some. George

Try this for the third pic: George

Copied from the ex10 thread: The Countess and I lost power on Friday night. It was just restored this afternoon. Except for some fence damage, we came through unscathed. Gas and water remained on, so we could cook and shower. We've gotten to know our new neighbors quite well, with little mini-cookouts together each of the last three evenings. Local ice drops kept us from losing all our food, though we did have to pitch some. The cold front that moved through two nights ago has made living MUCH more bearable. (I'm sure ex10 will agree.) Phone and internet (obviously) are now on, and all I'm missing is satellite TV. (Our dish is still there, but it's misaligned.) We visited our old neighborhood near the coast yesterday. Not much damage, but no power, water, or gas. Considering the tragedy it could have been, the inconvienience hasn't been all that bad. George

Believe me, I'm really no expert on hymns. There were about 20 years as a Catholic, and then 20 in TWI. If it's not in "Sing Along the Way" or a basic Catholic songbook, I don't know it. George

At least it doesn't seem to be strengthening much. It MIGHT only be a Cat 2 at landfall. Now if it would just turn more northward... George

WD, You are accusing, in a public forum, several posters of lying about VPW and others. Unless you have PROOF that they are lying, I would say that your accusations are libelous (at least by your own standards for libel). George

Ike's present forecast DOES tske it right over us. Not that I have anything against Beaumont, but I hope it "pulls a Rita." George

Of course! George

"Reba"? George

Three pics. George

"THAT was the equation! Existence! Survival... must... cancel out... programming!" "What...happened...to the Old Ones, Ruk?" "So long ago."" "Is it possible that they built their machines too well?" "Mind your own business. I'm sick of your half-breed interference. Do you hear?" "You might as well try to outthink a calculating machine." "Obviously I can't." "Well, there's one difference between us: I'm hungry." "The difference is your weakness, Captain, not mine." "One at a time, gentlemen. Captain?" "Eating is a pleasure, sir. Unfortunately one you will never know." "Perhaps. But I will never starve, sir." "You are certain you recognize his voice?" "Have you ever been engaged?" "Do you realize the number of discoveries lost because of superstition, of ignorance? A layman's inability to comprehend?" Feel free to try again, Steve!. You are probably thinking of the right episode, but you didn't describe it well. George

Okay, then. "Eureka." George

Is anyone else out there? :blink: Jack Nicholson Hoffa Danny DeVito George

Your turn, Raf! George

Interestingly, if you google "George St. George," finding anything about me is almost impossible. You get all sorts of travel and real estate hits, usually because the phrase "St. George" is repeated in a listing or table ("St. George St. George"). If you google "GeorgeStGeorge," you'll get a couple of hits on GS, and the website of some gay guy. :o George

I wish this thing would make up its mind! <_< They're evacuating the town I lived in until July. The Countess and I should be okay as long as Ike doesn't come right over us, but that's still a possibility. Things will probably be a lot clearer tomorrow at this time. George

I suppose it's not unreasonable to conjecture that a fulfilling sexual relationship would be healing to someone who has suffered sexual abuse, but "Go out and have sex with someone"?! All my years as a TC, I could never see being that arrogant. George

I guess it's safe to reveal now. My name really isn't GeorgeStGeorge. It's George St. George. I feel much better. George

I remember taking advanced quantum mechanics my first semester in graduate school. I really tried to understand what all the integrals actually "meant" (physically). I wound up getting a B on my first hourly, so I said, the heck with this, I'm just doing the math. I got the highest grade in the class on the other two hourlies and the final Physical chemistry: get a chemistry degree without ever touching a chemical. All you need is a high-powered computer!

If by that you mean that you wish he would repent of his evil and walk as a Christian, I would agree. If you mean to wish him success in all his endeavors, not matter how worldly, I must take exception. George
