A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 Anybody in the path of this storm?

If any of you want to know a little more
of ways to help..
The Today Show had some places on it's website
this morning..

I'll post a link...
The Today Show\'s Link to How to help Katrina\'s victims, get information

They were saying, really to send money to those
places that were registered to help out in those
situations...

I'll post this on the other posts too..

And to beat all - Fats Domino is missing!

He said he was going to stay in his New Orleans home with his wife, Rosemary and duaghter. Now he's missing!

Ohhhh!

I heard that today too Carly.

On a serious note, I think this disaster has opened the minds of many - people are starting to 'think'! Can you imagine that?!

People are actually thinking of what needs to be done - they're not just complacently figuring the government will look after everything. I think people are going to be demanding the government steps in and takes a firm control.

Should New Orleans be rebuilt in the same place? I don't think so.

How about a nature reserve? 'Cause y'know, all those cute little critters need a place to go now too.

And how about we pull all those kids out of Iraq and bring 'em home? Bring them home to help out the victims of Katrina?

Or am I being too silly?

Carly, I feel that way too.. bring our people home, to help at HOME. They seriously need all the help they can get.. but Bush says, the war on terror must, and will be won. :rolleyes: I don't wanna go there. Sure, let's go liberate another country, while nobody steps up to help us when wer'e in need. Ok, shuttin up.

I read about Fats Domino yesterday too.. unreal!

Update on Fats Domino.. he's apparently been found & rescued by boat.. no word yet on his family that was with him.

Meg

That's a good sign, eh? Good ole Fats. I hope his family is ok.

That guy made my day one summer - he was here playing in the old forum at Ontario Place. He and his band were just great. That was way back in the late eighties.

Some positive news - the government has paid for 3 cruise ships that are not booked for trips. They're bringing them in and moving people onto them.

That makes good sense to me.
