He'd probably be one of those people who'd help build Thunderdome.

He may be doing that right now.

I don't understand why anyone would stay in NOLA, but survival guy seems to dig it.

I saw that LJ yesterday. Didn't much like the sense I got of the guy, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's lying.

And they've turned the webfiltering back on at work, so I won't be around here between 8 am and 5 pm again. Anymore. Whatever.

t grumps, goes off to work

I stopped reading after the part where he says that women are more hysterical than men

Well that's nonsense right there. Women commonly cope better with trauma since they often don't have the same experience of/need for constantly being in control.

Look at any displaced population, it happens again and again. A huge percentage of men will get depressed and paralysed and bitch about how they were surgeons and will not drive a truck while the women just get on with it.

This is just as sexist.

Huh. I'll have to remember that excuse.

Except I like driving trucks.

But anyway, I agree.

I keel them!

OK, Nora, so when do you want to go to the movies with me?

Laura, I fondly remember pretty much everything about meeting you, so thanks.

I just spent half an hour in deep conversation with an adorable 5-years-old girl ( a daughter of a student who also sits in this building). I learned that she likes elephants, but only the Indian ones, not the African. Or, maybe the African girls ones. And it's because of the difference in the sizes of the ears. She then demonstrated how elephants say hello with their ears. So much better than grading, with much more common sense.

Hee! She is spared my wrath.

No, its not. I'm talking percentages. I'm not saying "men fall apart, women are fine" I'm saying a larger percentage of men than women tend to fall apart.

And I'm not following up my statement with a link to my hot trucker boyfriend's website.

Yeah, I'm with you. Not entirely sure what to think, but I do get a weird vibe off the guy.

OK, this is the most depressing thing I've read about NO: Mayhem hampering hospital evacuations

Acadian, based in Lafayette, Louisiana, is trying to evacuate some 2,000 patients from hospitals before nightfall Wednesday, including dozens of critically ill babies at medical facilities with no electricity or water.

The firm's priority is getting out 25 critically ill infants from Children's Hospital and 100 babies from Touro Infirmary, said spokeswoman Julie Mahfouz.

Zuschlag said part of the reason Touro requested the evacuation of its 175 patients -- including 100 babies -- "is the unrest in New Orleans."

He said his workers have been victims of the looting and mayhem across the city.

Patients at that hospital have died due to lack of electricity.
