…children"
Day 1: You did it! Even though there were numerous warnings that Hurricane Ike was coming, rather than leave your home, for some very deep personal reason you decide to remain. You are knowledgeable about hurricanes. You know that you will be faced with the following: Winds in excess of 115 MPH, Waves up to 25 feet, potential Flooding potentially up to 25 feet, lose of electricity, lose of fresh water, lose of sewage, no medical aid, animals running wild (to include a tiger), no cell or phone service, no 911, police, or fire department, and after the storm hits, you are on your own for the next 72 hours. You can’t just go to the grocery store and stock up on food supplies and bottled water because people panicked and have already cleared the shelves. Gas stations have exhausted their supply of fuel. It is now too late to leave. The storm will hit in 8 hours. What would you do? (I just came back from helping work crews in Galveston, TX)

After 3 yrs he took me to Venice and proposed. Heaven. The only strange thing was that he didnt like me spending the nights at his house except saturdays or half term holidays. I saw him nearly every night and we were always together. His family and mine were happy or us. He told me quite early on that he would like to work abroad at some point. I spent most of my time trying to find a job abroad so we could go together. My only stipulation was he try and go to an english speaking country as this gave me a good chance of finding a job as well as I wanted him to have his dream. After 5 or 6 years, I mentioned isnt it about time we started thinking about living tgether? He said that he was scared of living together so I agreed how about we try
me staying more than 1 night a week t start off with as we are together all the time on holidays and it has never been a problem. He agreed but it never happened. After 6 years like this my family and his started to say he was using me as we did everything couples do except live together. They constantly questioned me about where we were going, if we had a future etc. They semed to blame me where it was his decision to not have us move in. I told him to please talk to them as I was under so much pressure from everybody. Last year I lost my job unfairly and was considering legal action. I was in such a mess and told him he could do better than me as I was a nothing and a nobody (I was very depressed) After 5 weeks I found another job but found out he had secretely asked another girl out. He said he was so sorry,it was becuase I said he could do better. We stayed together, I said we need to move this relationship up as engaged now for 4 years and still no
improvement on living together. I decided to get out from the pressure of my parents and buy my own home. He agreed and helped me with the deposit saying we would have our own place (even though he already lives alone) so he could live with me. During this his pal, became ill with Cancer - he dealt with this by cutting himself off from me saying he was going through a terrible time and his job was possibly being cut too. I said should we have a break so he could deal with the situation, he said he couldnt handle any external pressure namely me as I was asking him when I coud stay the night (getting angry in the process as he didnt undertsand why I felt used for sex) After two months of not seeing him properly, I asked him what was going on and he said everytime he saw me he gets stressed out. I have stood by him through two fatal accidents, his workload, his ups and downs etc and was finally at breaking point. I found out that a younger girl (20 yrs
younger) had asked him out and he was seeing her. she told me to get lost he was with her now!!

She text me lots of vindictive messages and he did not stop it. He said he was at his lowest when he met her and wants us to get back together. the house I bought went through when he was with her. I am on my own now doing it up, his work found out about them and sacked him. He has now had to move away for work. Is this my fault and how do I get us back together.
When I asked him why he did this, he said because I told him I would be leaving after another year if things didn?t change a bit, also he was at his lowest point in life because of his pal dying. He told me he only got engaged to me to keep me until somebody better came along. After 6 months we started talking again and he said he didnt mean anything he said. have now found out he is seeing somebody abroad; I saw their photo on face book. I confronted him and he has just said he doesnt want to hurt me.

Now though, he is with this other woman moving on. The girl he cheated on me with has moved onto her next target without a care in the world. I am left holding the bag all on my own. She broke us up like a tornado and has now left a path of destruction. How do I get my life on track, I have not many pals and am very alone. I see her everywhere happy and smiling whereas I have just lost the bset thing I ever had and I cant cope with the loss. Her ex told me she is destructive. She breaks up families and moves on. Now my guy and I are in different countries and moving on. How do I move on to? I just cant take this.

what is the average number of cyclones in the caribbean each year?

I have a family trip to go to FL. But, I am wondering is Hurricane Bertha going to hit Florida? I dont want to be in a hurricane. lol.

Hey everyone! The weather is really getting crazy out there. If you have extra socks & scarves anything and your not using it please pass it on to someone who needs it at a shelter. If you don’t know where a shelter is you can just drive around and hand them out. Trust me you will be happy you did so will they.

Okay you have a minority who does not want you to hear the truth.

PHIL JONE #1 Global Warming Scientist who is quoted by IPCC was exposed as a liar when his emails were hacked and he was fired from his university job.

HE NOW SAYS - NO WARMING SINCE 1995

THE HOCKEY STICK LEFT OUT THE WARMER MEDIEVAL ERA BECAUSE IT PROVES MAN IS NOT BEHIND THE WARMING.

IPCC has had to withdraw many claims due to lack of scientific proof -

Hurricanes intensifying - WITHDRAWN BASED ON 1YR 2005
Himalayan glaciers melting - WITHDRAWN based on a student’s essay
RAIN FOREST effected by small rainfall change - WITHDRAWN - no rainfall data used

IT goes on and on check my sources. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/-234092–.html

WHEN WILL YOU GLOBAL WARMERS START TO ASK YOURSELF WHY THE LIES?

I was at home today , when it felt as if an earthquake had hit. My entire apartment shook for about half a second and you could hear a loud exploding sound. Soon, I had found out that my downstairs neighbor’s windows had exploded along with the AC! Her house looked like an hurricane hit it! Outside there was her kitchen and living room window on the floor, not to mention the AC. Firefighters came and said it was because she had plugged it in to much outlits - but wouldnt that cause an blackout in her house?
Please , if anyone has any information, i would like to know , so this wouldnt happen to me.

Order your copy of INTO THE STORM now! www.tornadovideos.net In late 2009, Storm chasers Reed Timmer, Chris Chittick and company traveled to South America to experience storm season south of the Equator. They were rewarded for their efforts on their very first chase, documenting a large tornado near Santa Rosa, Argentina, on December 27, 2009. This is the first in a three-part series of teasers designed to give you a taste of chasing the Argentine Pampas! For more on this chase, visit www.tornadovideos.net

my daughter thinks I need to take a class on os commerce and I don’t even know what it is about

i own a small hurricane supplies website and a small local business. I am a business owner so I figured she thought it would help me out to build my small businesses into medium or large businesses.

Please give me any information you might have on how an OS Commerce class would help me!

Do you care if a a News network that Claims to be "fair & Balanced" Is Not, even FAR from it, Read these facts then answer, Links provided for those who need/want proof
http://turnofffox.org/landing/?id=1637-134151
No other news organization that’s considered legitimate consistently wages smear campaigns based on lies and race-baiting. But for years Fox News has done exactly that, and the pattern has only gotten worse since Barack Obama entered national politics.

Here are just a few examples:

– A frequent Fox guest, Jesse Lee Peterson, said that the majority of Black people have poor moral character, and cited "what they did to the dome" after Hurricane Katrina as evidence.[3] Peterson has also used his platform on Fox to claim that 90% of Black people are racists — against Whites.[4]

– In a case of naked race-baiting, Fox host Glenn Beck called President Obama a "racist" who had a "deep-seated hatred for White people or the White culture."[5] Earlier that week, Beck claimed that the President’s health insurance reform proposals were a form of "reparations" designed to "settle old racial scores."[6]

– Fox host John Stossel argued that the public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Act — which prevents businesses from discriminating based on race, sex, and other factors — should be repealed.[7]

– Fox News hosts Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity were the first to air deceptively edited and incomplete video of Shirley Sherrod’s remarks to the NAACP.[8] The video made it seem like Sherrod was confessing to using her position at the USDA to discriminate against White farmers, when she was really talking about the importance of overcoming prejudice. Sherrod lost her job over this misrepresentation, which Fox enthusiastically repeated without seeking the facts. Fox has since tried to pretend it had nothing to do with this smear — but Fox is the number one reason these kinds of distortions and smears have any part in our national dialogue.

The examples above aren’t even a tenth of Fox’s vicious lies and smears, and over the years they’ve just gotten more brazen.

The goal of Turn Off Fox is to reduce the number of public TVs showing Fox News, while spreading the word about Fox’s poison (and how it works) to those who don’t know.

Signing up for the campaign is just the first step. We make it easy for you to tell us about businesses playing Fox. If you’re willing to talk with them, we’ll provide you with straightforward materials that explain why they shouldn’t be a party to what Fox is doing. And if there are businesses you know that want to tell the world they would never play Fox, you can help them declare themselves a "Fox-free zone."

As businesses Turn off Fox and stand up as Fox Free, and as we encourage our friends and family to do the same, we’ll help make clear, to people across the country, what Fox is about. And we’ll reduce their ability to do harm.

Please join me in signing up for the TurnOffFox campaign:

My finance and I are getting married September 26th, and are planning a cruise to the bahamas for 7 days, I am aware this is during hurricane season. If I purchase the cruise ahead of time, and there is some risk of a hurricane, etc, will I get a refund? I heard from someone if there was a hurricane that you would lose your money, is this true?

These screens block the hard sun light from entering your house. Instead of putting the hurricane shutter on one of the windows you put this screen which still makes light come thru but not so much that you can not sleep because the sun is shining directly in the room. Plus the screen attaches to the outside of the house with bolts so it secures it for a fraction of the cost of security bars. The screens are more attractive and come in several colors to match your house.
Because the screens attached to the outside of the house it can lower your electric bill up to 15% per month.

I am an adult that came here from Wisconsin 5 years ago. I try to explain that it is much worse than a blizzard or anything like that. And then i get questions like, "Don’t you just want to go stand out in the hurricane and watch it?" Haha. I’m like, "It’s NOT a tornado." There’s no spectacle. Just extremely high dangerous life threatening winds with debris and heavy objects falling all around you. And flooding. Terrible flooding. New Orleans type flooding sometimes. Live power lines down. And the hardest part I have is describing how long it messes up the community. It can put everything on hold for weeks and maybe months. I get the craziest questions about hurricanes. And when folks say, "Man I wouldn’t live in Florida because of the hurricanes," then I say, "You can prepare for a hurricane. But you can’t really prepare for gut wrenching super low Florida wages." And that’s when I think of that stupid Wal-Mart smiley face.

If he does-why does he keep killing people with cyclones etc

If he doesn’t-how did he cause the great flood?

For once can someone answer this question like a normal rational human being?

Our complex suffered a devastating amount of damage during Hurricane Katrina. The managers will not board all of the windows in the complex. How do I protect my bedroom window from the storm. Tape isn’t any good really when the winds are strong.

Any advice?

Also, yes, I know about evactuation, preparedness kits, etc. etc. I’ve lived on the coast all of my life and have dealt with many a storm…but always in a regular home and never in an apartment.

@TXBardTo…

it isn’t the complex job to protect my personal belongings, it is mine. the fact is they will not board up or shutter windows, they never have. what is inside my apartment is still my responsibility and i any damages from wind/rain isn’t covered on my insurance. the complex will not pay either. so i am taking the preparations necessary to protect my property on my own.

i may board up from the inside, but i’ll need help doing so.

She felt queer pain
That said,
"you’ll find rain better
Than shelter from the rain

Days filled with fiery sunshine
Strange hurt she knew
That made
her seek the burning sunlight
rather than the shade.

In months of snowy winter
When cozy houses hold,
She’d break down doors
To wander naked in the cold?

If anyone interested will:
What was She defiantly running always from?
What was she hopefully running toward?
What compelled her not to trust refuges, but keep running as a wild horse, bolted out of a barricade?
What would inspire Hughes to write such a poem?
What in his heart identified with the constant fugitive of his creation?
Why did "SHE" Not accept the validity or Apparent comfort of any of these refuges?
What would have the convincing power only she would recognize to stop her desperate flight?
Would she KNOW it if she ever came across it?
Was she wise to keep on running?
What was Hughes’ strange hurt?
What was his creation’s?
What ALL was he implying was the issue in this poem?
