<p>Start pouring, georgiamom. I’m there.</p>
<p>Trying to think positively-- just booked a rental car for our trip next Weds. Well, DH can go even if I dont-- and the rental is in his name. So I guess I am still playing it safe.</p>
<p>The weather will be fine - this is just an excuse for you to get S2 home again, Jym! </p>
<p>Actually, I hope Gustav behaves himself, but I think you are smart to get S outta there for awhile. I know NOLA doesn’t need this again, but I sure hope things go a little more smoothly this time.</p>
<p>What are/were you going out of town for?</p>
<p>My sympathies to anyone living in NOLA–whether longterm or for 4 years! It’s a great city but it’s such a shame they can’t figure out how to make the levees strong enough, or stop rebuilding in the areas 10 feet below sea level. Three years after Katrina, here we go again. Gustav: stay away!</p>
<p>Pour me one too, she said morosely.</p>
<p>The headline on Fox’s website is “The Big Queasy.” :/</p>
<p>This Katrina veteran says: IT CANNOT HAPPEN TWICE! ARE YOU LISTENING, GUSTAV? NOT TWICE!!!</p>
<p>jym and ivoryk - here’s the scoop. We 2009 parents and students (and the 2006-2008 ones too) took the bullet for you. We earned a free pass for at least the next century if not millenium.</p>
<p>I’m not gonna let it happen. That’s my story. And I’m stickin’ to it.</p>
<p>jmmom-
I’m counting on you!! While you are at it, could you do something about Hanna as well??</p>
<p>Waaaaaaay too much estrogen in this thread. ;)</p>
<p>I have thought of you jmmom in the last few days, as I admit my mind has wandered to “where do we transfer?!” I’m terribly afraid of what a hurricane hit would mean – not just for Tulane – but for NOLA. My kid is scheduled to get out tomorrow afternoon, and at this point – I think perhaps it’s she that needs the drinks more than me. So drinks all around for those underage NOLA students being displaced to G-d knows where.</p>
<p>parent2noles: last week was Manly Man week. What do you want now? :D</p>
<p>Could we have a Redhead week?</p>
<p>Friend with S at Tulane says that he is driving to Atlanta and 15 fraternity brothers will be staying at one of the parents’ homes. I kept thinking, gosh, I hope that jym didn’t volunteer to do this…;)</p>
<p>Just hit 1000 posts! Do I get a senior member discount?</p>
<p>Or does it mean I have to start drinking at 4 PM now?</p>
<p>LOL momof3!
Nope! My hosting all-night parties days (nights) are OVER!!! However, please PM me and let me know where the party is!! :D</p>
<p>mafool … you get the discount. But you don’t have to come in at 4:00 until your hair is blue :D.</p>
<p>Hey congrats, mafool – I don’t figure I’m ever going to hit that milestone! I mean, I’d have to start living on CC. Oh wait, I already do that …</p>
<p>^^^But you are probably living among the reprobates, er, I mean the cool folks in the cafe!</p>
<p>Oh dear. Is there a confessional in the corner? </p>
<p>I have been posting on a political thread. Please don’t shun me. It’s a disease, you know.</p>
<p>My name is mafool and I am a political junkie.</p>
<p>I have my own political party: The Hairy Reprobates</p>
<p>No shortage of testosterone in this party! ::::HHHCCHK::: ::::PAHTOOEE:::: ::::Adjusting my shorts::::</p>
<p>All in favor of REDHEAD WEEK, say “Hell, yeah!” (All of the orangutans just raised their hands.) 
Go away, Gustav.</p>
<p>Mafool, we’re having a senior dinner special this week: Dinner at 4 p.m. Today’s special: Meatloaf, canned peas, and Ancient Age :)</p>
