I don’t know if I am just being hyper but for the past three days he has been especially fussy, he does have a slight cough and has spit up some mucous (not much, and the weather is changing right now) and is really fighting going to sleep when he didn’t before. Some of the times he is spitting up the formula looks curdled–he has reflux and takes prevacid and is on enfamil ar specifically for the reflux (I cannot breastfeed–my milk supply disappeared since I had my baby during one hurricane and two weeks later had to evacuate again for another one–so that pretty much did me in!) Any ideas? I have a call in to the doc right now but I am looking for a little advice?
We live in Texas……hurricane alley! Yes, the reflux is not fun, and he is taking (and holding) down about 40 oz a day which seems like SO much. We do a little apple juice in the am to help with constipation but a lot of times he is insatiable. It seems too early for cereal but even if we tried that I think it would be overkill on his poor tummy, I guess you would have to give applesauce too, but not going to go there until I talk to the doc. I am just not sure if we are having a "reflux episode" or if there is something else going on. He burps well, he just can’t get comfortable and squirms a lot when he is trying to sleep. We have dealt with colic and I just don’t feel like that is all that is going on. I dunno, could just be sleep deprived!!!!

My horse has never coliced in the five years I have had him, but for some wierd reason he coliced this morning. My mom caught it quick and gave him a dose of banamine, and he is outside grazing. We think it was from eating to much sand, because his this week would ahve been the next dose of SandClear. So, yeah he is doing fine right know, just a little "drugged" looking, but he has pooped two or three times, he is eating, and bossing the other horses around (just not with as much enthusiasim lol)

Anyways, I was wondering when do you think it will be safe to ride him again? I know DEFINETLY not today or tomorrow…just keep watching him to make sure he doesn’t start colicing again.

A tropical storm is about to hit, so I doubt I can ride him for three days anyways…do you think I could start riding him then? She I work him like normal or just keep it light riding for the rest of this week, and start riding him normal next weekend????

THANKS…

Many of our country’s "enemies" have offered help to us in wake of tragic events; most of their offers refused.

In Hurricane Katrina, Cuba was one of the first nations to respond and offered to send doctors, tons of medicinal supplies, and money. The US Government declined and told Cuba "no". Now say what you want about political differences but if help is offered immiediately it really doesn’t matter who it is coming from and you are declining the supplies offered to the people who need it.

Also in Hurricane Katrina assistance from France was at first rejected but we later on accepted their aid.

On 9/11 Mayor Guiliani would not accept a 1 million dollar donation from Saudi Arabia.

How do you feel about our government declining the aid of our "enemies". I use "enemies" in quotes because I don’t regard Cuba and France as threats to us. It is a way to mend relations with our nations; to work together in wake of tragedies. A step towards making progress during these wars.

Anyone saying that there is no way to cause an earthquake is either massively ignorant, naive ("No one would ever do such a thing!"), or deliberately disinforming the public. I am especially concerned about what I perceive to be a consistent campaign against my race in general and my country in particular.

Off the top of my head, I can think of as many as four ways to have caused the recent deadly earthquake. Anyone who says they don’t exist must be an Agent of Disinformation.

1. Undersea or underground nuclear explosion.
Who has the most data on the Earth’s crust, and would know where exactly to play atomic "Whack a Mole" on a continental scale?

2. A meteor could be guided by space probes to crash into the necessary location with the same effect as above. This is technologically feasible. The culprits could suppress telemetry that would warn the public of what was happening.

3. Nicola Tesla reportedly had a portable device that could cause earthquakes at will. This device used something he is said to have called "infra-waves." Evidently, he was one of the first scientists to have made an extensive study of sub-sonics. A lot of his research involved voltages and amperages not available to the general public, nor discussed extensively in schools.

4. X-RAY lasers (XASERS) can shatter matter. If these were deployed by satellite array, with sufficient amplitude (extremely short pulses are more effective than continuous beams,) what might not be achieved?

5. HIGH-ALTITUDE AURORAL manipulation. Someone wrote a book (ANGELS DON’T PLAY THIS HAARP) about how a widely-known fundamental physics principle (Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule) is being used- without the public’s knowledge and consent- to manipulate the jetstream by ionizing it with masers located near the USA/Canadian border, originally intended to communicate with submerged submarines at the antipodes.

The ionized jetstream changes direction due to interaction with the Earth’s magnetic field.
This effect can be used to cause weather changes- possible creating monsoon, hurricane or drought at will.

If the atmosphere can be given enough electrostatic charge, it has been theorized that the crust, and even magma could be affected. This process can be assisted by jet aircraft-seeded chemicals. (The notorious "chemtrails." Please search.) You know the effect when you rub a plastic ruler with your dry hand, and use it to attract bits of paper and even wood particles. Millions of our supposedly educated folk- up to and including university graduates, have not only never seen this effect demonstrated, they have never even heard of it- like it was erased from the curriculum. Therefore, what should be routinely-considered scientific possibilities seems like irresponsible sci-fi speculation to them.
Dear SLF: In the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and fiasco, it comes as no surprise that the US Military was able to respond with commendable speed. There is really nothing wrong with that.

What I am suspicious of is that this Haiti earthquake comes as America needs a positive Public Relations profile after the Iraq and Afghanistan unnecessary warfare, because they are planning to wage yet another war in my own country on the flimsy pretext that an obvious Manchurian Candidate Instant Terrorist decided to solve his non-existent personal problems with a Dirty Bomb in his underpants.

Coincidence is not proof. My accusations are mere speculation. But we are talking about a country which has performed Bacterial experimentation on its own citizens (The Tuskegee Experiment), Atomic Experiments on its own citizens (sprayed radioactives into bus and railway stations), and Viral Experiments on its own citizens (AIDS virus in pretend Hepatitis C vaccine). All of which were proven.
If America can do that to its own citizens, what might they not do to those of countries they don’t care what happens to? Is America bailing out Haiti because they care what happens to them?
Many, even most, citizens certainly care, but the government does not.

Dear "GARY B:" If the Atom Bomb were not used twice in the Second World War, and its damage effects not widely publicized and emphasized over and over, would you know, or even believe that such a weapon existed?
Do you understand that the American government did not suddenly become aware that nuclear bomb was possible in 1945? When it looked like the Axis Powers would get one first, then the Bottomless Pit of American Federal Government expenditure was mined in order to assemble this hellish weapon. I understand this cost 3 thousand million dollars? Were this money poured into conventional war effort, or (God Forbid) PEACEFUL RESOLUTION, would not the war have been ended without opening the Nuclear Pandora’s Box?
During the 1960s, it was speculated that bombs up to 5,000 megatons were planned or built, and that a single weapon of this nature could exterminate all life on Earth in one swell strike (DUNLOP Book of Facts 1969).

Why do you think that a SINGLE bomb would have to be used, and that it would be situated on the SURFACE? This is sloppy thinking. Why would a suitcase tactical weapon be used for an atrocity of such importance?

By distorting the facts, agents of disinformation cover up atrocities by making their execution seem impossible through the resources supplied.

If the epicentre of the quake was six miles beneath the surface, why would the explosion not have taken place there? How do you know that the epicentre was six miles wherever they said? You trust them to tell the truth?

The English Channel Tunnel was a sci-fi pipe-dream when I was a kid. But somehow they dug 20miles under the sea to connect England and France. What’s six miles?
If the blast(s) were underwater or underground, how would you detect their radioactivity?

If there were lots of small bombs used, it would not necessarily read as a bomb explosion. It might look totally natural- or to be scientific- "Within natural parameters."
Even if it didn’t, the data gathered would be interpreted by Human beings, who can be bought, blackmailed, or just plain deceived.

As Josef Stalin said, "They that vote determine nothing; they that count the votes determine everything." Data is only as good as those who interpret it.

Dear "JOEMOSER1948:" When agents of disinformation cannot logically disprove suspicions, they invariably resort to deception and ridicule.

1. What would happen if one of your "little vibrations" were triggered within the infamous SAN ANDREAS FAULT in California? To say that man-made bombs only produce "little vibrations" is a terrible lie that separates the ignorant and stupid from the intelligent and educated.
The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs had a yield of less than 50 kilotons of TNT.
Atom bombs of today are measured in the MEGATONS. The biggest is reputed to be Russia’s TSAR BOMBA- 500 Megatons.

If atom bombs were used on Haiti, we should really not complain stupidly, but thank America or whoever, profusely, that there’s still a "Haiti" left.

2. My idea for how a space probe could cause an ELE Meteor strike is that one would only have to be sent upside a likely asteroid, and push it out of orbit with conventional rockets, ionic drive, solar sail, or whatever it is they’re using today. Small rocks could be used to hit on larger rocks, like snooker in Space, until they get the strike they want.

Since they have their finger (which is a tasteless pun on the computer command) in every spacewatch facility on the Planet, it would be a simple hacking problem to make sure no one sees anything. After all, these people successfully pretended a jet airliner hit the Pentagon in 9/11, didn’t they?
3. Nicola Tesla is too big for you to dismiss as "just a crackpot," I notice. I heard that the FBI followed Tesla around and picked up every tissue he blew his nose on, in case some important formula were scribbled on it. When he died, the FBI stole all his papers.
OF COURSE they have followed up on his "Earthquake Machine" design, and perfected it many times over, as a "Weapon of Last Resort." I heard of a French scientist (pre-1980s) who made a giant (4 feet long) gendarme’s whistle, to study its harmonics effects. The hapless lab assistant who started its air pump blower up fell dead over it instantly. Autopsy showed his internal organs had turned to jelly. A more cautious repeat of the experiment was done in an open space, from inside a blockhouse. Starting it up slowly, the device shattered windows in a half-mile radius LONG before it reached its maximum output. It was shelved, never to be used again.

I know about all these accounts, and they have to have an influence on me.
4. If your knowledge of laser technology is limited to comic books and movies, which are written by people or whom science is not their primary realm of expertise, then it is no wonder that your knowledge is dated, and you might not be able to conceive what can be done based on the fundamental laser technology. (I mean, you don’t have to be covering things up. Cutting you slack!) In THE DEATH FREAK, by Herbert Burkholz and Clifford Irving ("John Luckless"), a number of exotic deadly weapons are mentioned. The most hi-tech was a laser actuated by a neodymium trigger. This enables an extremely brief pulse of energy to be transmitted. This pulse, when it contacts solid matter causes a shockwave explosive effect, which was estimated, in a portable device, to be powerful enough to take out an entire wing of a building and everyone in it (which I remember after all these years because it was important to the plot). Such ultra-fast switching did not become possible until recently.
But this is not what I was talking about. I mentioned XASERS, not LASERS as being useful for this job. The right frequency of laser would reach the ground, but absorption at the surface would be an issue. But X-RAY AMPLIFICATION by STIMULATED EMISSION of RADIATION could go much deeper than they have to tell us about, and have all sorts of effects that never make it into READER’S DIGEST or SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.

5. When you can’t disprove the science, attack the reputation and credibility of the whistleblower? "Attack is the best means of defense?" Well, lets go to the WIKIPEDIA reference: "Dr. Bernard…. Eastlund is one of the patent holders (US Patent #4,686,605) that led to the development of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program HAARP which has been sensationalized in many books as a weapon with the potential to destroy the world by creating a death ray and altering weather patterns." By the way- this man is now dead. Nothing suspicious about that, of course.

or are they mostly like this to begin with?

McKinney Accuses Government of Slaughtering Prisoners, Dumping Bodies During Katrina
WASHINGTON: Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney claims the Department of Defense executed 5,000 prisoners with one bullet to the head and then dumped their bodies in a Louisiana swamp during Hurricane Katrina.

Thursday, October 02, 2008

Green Party presidential candidate [and former Democratic Representative] Cynthia McKinney, known for her provocative statements when she was a congresswoman from Georgia, accused the Department of Defense this week of using Hurricane Katrina to cover up the slaughter of 5,000 prisoners.

At a news conference in Oakland, Calif., on Sunday, McKinney claimed the Pentagon authorized the execution of the prisoners with one bullet to the head three years ago and then dumped their bodies in a Louisiana swamp.

McKinney said she heard the story from the mother of a National Guard soldier who said her son was assigned to help dispose of the bodies.

"And these were mostly males and her son was afraid to talk because he had signed a silence agreement," McKinney told the crowd. "So he only complained to his mother. But the data was entered into a Pentagon computer."

McKinney said she verified the story from "insiders" who wanted to remain anonymous.

"I suspect that these are prisoners. … So this investigation of the whole prison industrial complex is extremely important and it should not end with just a question of the nature of prisons in our country," she said to a captivated audience. "These 5,000 souls also need some justice too."

A Defense Department spokesman dismissed McKinney’s accusation.

"The claim is outrageous on the very face of it and doesn’t merit any further consideration," said Lt. Col. Les’ Melnyk. "It would be inconceivable that 5,000 people would go missing in America without anyone noticing it prior to this."

Psychologists and psychology professors contacted by FOXNews.com wouldn’t comment on McKinney’s mental condition, but they expressed shock at her assertion.

"Wow! What a conspiracy theory," one professor exclaimed before declining comment and hanging up the phone.

Dr. Celia Ward, a clinical psychologist in Washington, D.C., said she wouldn’t speculate on McKinney’s state of mind because McKinney heard the story from someone else.

"This sounds like a game of telephone," Ward said, explaining how a rumor can change as it passes from one person to another. "But to take something that has so many questions attached to it and to treat a rumor as fact is the basis for mass distortion. It’s really a good example of Swift-boating."

Ward said McKinney could have easily verified the story by checking prison records.

"This is the kind of rumor that warrants fact-checking," she said.

McKinney’s presidential campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

A member of the House for 12 years until 2007, McKinney is no stranger to controversy. Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, she suggested that President Bush knew about the plot in advance but failed to warn Americans because of his father’s business interests. Some political analysts say that statement contributed to her defeat in 2002.

After McKinney was re-elected in 2004, she tried to impeach Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on charges that they lied and manipulated intelligence to justify the war in Iraq.

McKinney hit a career low point in 2006 when she was accused of striking a Capitol Police officer who grabbed her after she passed a security checkpoint without wearing a congressional lapel pin. She later apologized for the incident. She was defeated in a Democratic primary later that year and left the Democratic Party in 2007. She was nominated in July to run for president on the Green Party ticket. There are 245 other Green Party candidates running for office this fall.

Noah:

Are you vacationing in Egypt? You seem to be deep in denial.

Now that he’s promised not to smoke in the White House. Will there have to be a permanent shelter, built using taxpayers money, added to the White House lawn for him to smoke in, in-climate weather?

Have you seen the "Lincoln Bedroom"? It pales in comparison to the "Obama Smoking Shed!"

This would be a permanent structure for housing 5 mature, full-size (think Boer, LaMancha, etc.) goats within fenced grazing areas, not necessarily near an actual barn.

Mini-barns, pre-fab, and lean-to styles don’t count.

Must be cost-effective, durable, and protect during seasonal weather extremes (Fahrenheit temps from teens to high 90’s).

Ability for minimum-hassle seasonal conversions is a huge plus. Show us your ag design-fu. Got pics? If they’re your own original designs, please feel free to share links to your publicly hosted images (please make sure you’ve secured your copyrights to any such images first, thanks!).
This is a legitimate question I was requested to ask on behalf of a neighbor who does not have internet access. The first B.S. response was merely down-voted. The second was reported by me as it was completely out of line. Other people who are seriously interested in Y!A’s "Agriculture" category are encouraged to help maintain some sort of minimum acceptable standards within this community. Thank you.
Shellybell - That sounds soooo cool!

P.S. To the Omnipotents of Y!A: Please accept my humble thanks for deleting response #2. ;oD
Thanks, circarocker06, but I can crank out designs in my sleep. What my neighbor’s looking for is adequately outlined in the original query. Now the focus is more on what’s innovative and practical vs. standard and predictable.

Okay.
A young boy named Sam is taking a hike in the woods to get away from his life, and he finds the dead body of a man who committed suicide. In one of his hands is a camera. Sam takes the camera and looks at it when he is home. There are over 6 billion pictures on it- all of people- including Sam. Sam starts receiving letters that say strange things like "On Friday, 280 will die in a Tornado. You will choose."
Sam starts seeing strange apparitions of a dead boy who tells him to destroy the camera. Sam soon realizes that on the camera is a picture of everybody in the world, and when he deletes the photos, the people will die, and that everyone’s fate is in his hands.

As I was pulling out of work, a shopping cart "drove" itself into an intersection. A mailbox was off in the middle of another road, a child’s plastic table just went past our window, and there are big tree branches down everywhere. The power keeps flickering. I just wonder if the winds are that high where you’re at…?

I am taking my family to Disney World and unfortunately can only go in September, October, or November… when is it hurricane season down there? Which of the three months would it be the "safest" to go, weather-wise? Thank you.

I was just listening to Pat Robertson on You Tube. Terrorists do take advantage of political changes, 1993 (Clinton), 2001 (Bush), 2007 (New Congress?). Not a big leap to think of a terrorist attack in 2007. Kind of an anti-climax announcement.

But it did get me thinking, how many people actually prepare for a possible disaster by having a few days of food around, flash lights, medical supplies, that kind of thing. The normal Red Cross Be Prepared kind of thing.

All the "Oh my God the world is going to be destroyed by…" Nuclear war, global warming, terrorists, hurricanes, tornadoes, infestations of caterpillars, etc can leave this one alone.

I just want to know how many reasonably normal people have checked out ready.gov and have some emergency supplies around in case of a disaster.
Thanks. The ratio of real answers to silly answers tells me a lot too. Looks like if there was a major disaster any major urban center in the country things would end up a lot like they were in Louisiana. On the other hand, it kind of looks like people in rural or suburban areas might be better prepared. Kind of a common sense thing I would guess. some kind of ratio of storage space versus costs versus convince and availability, I would assume.

Thanks.

"Tropical cyclone (TC) activity worldwide has completely and utterly collapsed during the past 2 to 3 years with TC energy levels sinking to levels not seen since the late 1970s."

http://www.coaps.fsu.edu/~maue/tropical/

In 2005 we were told by the "experts" that Hurricane Katrina was a product of "Global Warming", that we should expect a greater number and greater strength of hurricanes in the future. The climate models backed up the claims of the scientists, and these statements were widely reported as facts about man’s effects on the climate.

Now the long term study is out that did study the number and strength of tropical storms and the facts are that both the number and intensity have decreased over the years since Katrina.

How did these climate models miss something as easy as this, and how were the top "Global Warming Experts" fooled by the data?

If something as simple as the number and strength of the storms are wrong, than can we accept that there is more data that is wrong that we don’t know about yet?

Should the data from "Global Warming" institutes be reviewed to separate what is opinion, emotion, political from true objective science?

Hurricane strength has long been understood to correlate quite tightly with SST:
http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/glob_warm_hurr/Fig_PDI_SST.html

Recently someone used this data to conclude that global warming has no effect on increasing hurricane strength/number:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdec.shtml

The data is specifically for the number of US hurricane strikes.

But it seems obvious that, while this specific variable may not be increasing, the total number of hurricanes is:
http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/glob_warm_hurr/Fig_Hurr_major_USland_count.html

Tastiness of cherries aside, is there any good reason to focus only on "number of hurricanes which strike the US" and not on an increase in hurricane strength/frequency as a whole?
By the way, for the first graph:

"PDI is a combined measure of Atlantic hurricane frequency, intensity, and duration."
http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/glob_warm_hurr_webpage.html#section1

For those living in Florida, it is important to be familiar with and adhere to the basic three step hurricane preparedness plan.

STEP 1. Buy enough food and bottled water to last your family for at least three days.
STEP 2. Put these supplies into your car.
STEP 3. Drive to Nebraska and remain there until Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, statistics show that most people will not follow this sensible plan. Most people will foolishly stay here in Florida. We’ll start with one of the most important hurricane preparedness items:

HOMEOWNERS’ INSURANCE: If you own a home, you must have hurricane insurance. Fortunately, this insurance is cheap and easy to get, as long as your home meets two basic requirements:

(1) It is reasonably well-built, and…
(2) It is located in Nebraska.

Unfortunately, if your home is located in Florida, or any other area that might actually be hit by a hurricane, most insurance companies would prefer not to sell you hurricane insurance, because then they might be required to pay YOU money, and that is certainly not why they got into the insurance business in the first place.

EVACUATION ROUTE: If you live in a low-lying area, you should have an evacuation route planned out. (To determine whether you live in a low-lying area, look at your driver’s license; if it says "Florida", you live in a low-lying area.)

The purpose of having an evacuation route is to avoid being trapped in your home when a major storm hits. Instead, you will be trapped in a gigantic traffic jam several miles from your home, along with two hundred thousand other evacuees. So, as a bonus, you will not be lonely.

Of course these are just basic precautions. As the hurricane draws near, it is vitally important that you keep abreast of the situation by turning on your television and watching TV reporters in rain slickers stand right next to the ocean and tell you over and over how vitally important it is for everybody to stay away from the ocean.

Good luck, and remember: It’s great living in Paradise!

It’s the middle of the season, and there haven’t been any hurricanes yet. Just one tropical storm.

And they were predicting such a horrible hurricane season. National Geographic even said: "Hurricanes: No End In Sight"

Yeah, right.

It’s true, my mother wants me dead! She said it so many times tonight when I called to ask if she was okay after the florida hurricane hit her area. We’ve not been on good terms for many years and through the years I have said bad things, but only when she got up my anger level to a point where I would say something mean and she would run to my rich sister and tell her, then they both would put the "hate" on me, which they are doing now. They say I am an internet stalker and post things about them, but if you listen to this, you will see why: http://www.video4people.blogspot.com It all gets twisted around and around and I am made to be the bad one, so I posted this blog on my mother’s mean phone message! Not easy to listen to, but I need solid answers and I want everyone to know what is happening.

i like the looks of this bike, i wanted to know if it is good, like parts,strength ect.

She’s certainly a snob according to http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2006/11/28/hurricane-sheila-playing-with-other-peoples-security/

"In The Washingtonian’s most recent list of the "Best and Worst of Congress," Ms. Jackson-Lee finishes in second place as the House’s "meanest" member, and she wins top honors as the chamber’s "biggest windbag" and also "show horse" - meaning she can’t get enough of seeing herself on TV."

http://www.israelforum.com/blog_article.php?aid=2299025 - The Israeli forum is lying too? Maybe the Chron was telling the truth.

http://urbangrounds.com/2009/08/13/roxana-mayer/ - I suppose Urbangrounds must be lying through their teeth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8fFgrmWu0c&feature=Responses&parent_video=fOZuvQ-3uvY&index=0&playnext=1&playnext_from=RL - Roxana even says she’s a General Care physician.. she’s L Y I N G

Queen Sheila even called her a Primary Care Physician.

Can someone tell me and link me to her listing as a legal physician? Or is she just a shill?

I love it because of the estimated 40,000 people who have refused to evacuate despite all the pre-warnings of possible injury and death in the Galveston area. Some of these people were even laughing on television saying it wasn’t a big deal, was over-hyped, they’ll be fine, etc. LOL of course it’s "over hyped" that’s what it means by taking precautions for your safety and evacuating, hence even if not much happens you’ll still be ok. I love it. when they all die it’ll be like watching Darwinism in action.

The wind is the lack of air movement not the movement of it. There should always be a slight breeze, as the atmosphere follows a spinning earth, but it tilts different angles, along its eliptical orbit, the mountains/buildings push and the temperature of the ocean, causing warm rising swirls that become hurricanes/tornadoes… it seems an intellegent species on this same senario of planet, would have solar powered refrigeration units off the Carribean, so those swirls, would not even happen in the first place. Also a computer simulation of our "topgraphy’s influenence" according to different angles/times.Refined correlation of data would advance predictability. Structures then placed at certain locations to smooth/cancel negative functioning results. Earth perpetually in a pleasant state, as we evolve into a "Team Human" populate the universe, logical best possibility chance for realization of existence experience as human, since we are recycled back into it, lets all stop the stupid.
we were able to plan and fix the Hubble telescope in space, yet seemingly logical and simple solutions completely escape us. In AZ there are thunderhead clouds overhead on the way to spill on a flooding Texas, yet if there was a bulliten telling everyone in Arizona (so dry in winter, a dust storm yet humid) to turn on their sprinkler systems, the added humidity would rise up and spill those clouds where its needed instead of the sit on hands and let mother nature push you around. For one thing mother nature is a myth, "Blisskeeper" expects us to use our brains and solve problems together, because this creates "wonderment" and that is what "Blisskeeper" breaths, his oxygen. the cycles of life and quintesynthesis determination, each half of its heartbeat. as for what I am doing to help, well for one I’ve never done anything bad to anyone, making me by the logic of math everyones best friend. I do not drive and when I did or if in future a motorcycle or small car, also solarhome planned.

On the news it said there is gonna be a hurricane in Florida!!! On August 19 2008 That’s the day of the first day of school! Is "Palm Harbor Elementary" school close that day??? Please help!
Guys im asking if Plam Harbor elementray is closed or not

Democrats, like Michael Moore and a couple of US senators, are making light of hurricane Gustav that is bearing down on the Gulf coast. I’ve read a few "questions" lately that are attempting to blame the Republicans for this hurricane…bringing down the "wrath of God" on them; Moore has likewise insinuated that God is repaying the Republicans for a supposed prayer made by "all Republicans" that it would rain on Obama’s acceptance speech at the DNC. http://availablelightonline.com/blog/2008/08/12/praying-for-rain/

Anyone that cares to know the truth of the matter can simply click on the link below and find out that it was not, in fact, Dobson that called for rain. Dobson had no knowledge of this video when it was made or aired. Most Republicans had no knowledge of the plea and besides, it was a harmless bit if satire.

What the dems are proposing, however, is that many innocent people of their own party will be put in danger from the hurricane brought on by the republican’s earlier, misguided prayer.

Are dems, once again, making a mountain out of a mole hill?

Okay, I was in the 1995 "Mayfest Hail Storm". We got very little warning so I ended up getting stuck outside in it. The only shelter that I could find was a wooden ticket booth. There was softball size hail and the ticket booth was breaking apart. I was 14 and alone in all of this and I got the crap beat out of me by wood and hail. At the time, this was the worst hail storm in U.S. history. All these years, I have NEVER been scared of the weather even though I went through that. This year the weather here in N. Texas has been crazy. It rained almost everyday from March-July and from April-June we have had a lot of tornado watches and warnings. Usually I only hear the sirens go off once a year. I have heard them go off so much this year that I have become extremly fearful. Whenever it even starts to rain I have a painc attack. I’ve already been diganosed with generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD (the PTSD was because of a crime that I witnessed 2 years ago).Is this irrational?
My fear of storms is so bad that if there is even a 20% chance of rain I will not leave the house. I am thinking that my fear might have something to do with the hail storm that I was in but that was 12 years ago.
I am 27 by the way.
