151I guess "Skunk" is the worst smell for me.What do you think is the worst smell that you have ever smelt?
152I use my dashboard for change so it's handy to use.Loose Change
153Both bathrooms have the "Medicine Cabinet" mirrors and 1 bathroom has a door mounted full-length mirror.How many mirrors are in your home?
154Good thing your not Superstitious about breaking a mirror...lolHow many mirrors are in your home?
155Yes, I'm sure NOLA will rebuild itsself...For ppl living there it's more than just a life it's almost like a Religion.
There is a place on St.Charles st. just around the corner from Robert E Lee Circle, it's called Michauls.. ( pronounced...Meeshawls).it's right on the Parade route....We were there for the Endimeon Parade...(not sure of the spelling) but it's the richest parade of all the Mardi Gras parades.
You'd LOVE it there....The food is excellent, drinks divine, and the music ...well you wouldn't want to leave...lol. They have 2 separate dance floors/with live bands + 2 separate dining areas.
We got to be there for the parade for FREE (look at her website..the price is EXPENSIVE to be there for the parade)...The reason we got to be there for free, my sisters boyfriend, his cousin owns it.
Were you directly or indirectly affected by Hurricane Katrina?
156Thanks to everyone for your concerns.
My mother is in Texas at our Aunts. (for those of you from Texas, my mother says that the people in Texas have been so Gracious!)
She will be coming to IL. to live with me soon.

As far a Blaming the President consider this.
The State had to ask for the help 1st.
If the president had jumped in then he would have been blamed for stepping on toes.
Over asserting his authority.
Now think about this.
Suppose he did and told the state to evacuate, send aide down there,
And the Hurricane did very little damage or nothing at all?
Then he'd be accused of being paranoid, over reacting, spending money wastefully.
The president is in a DAMNED IF YOU DO...DAMED IF YOU DON'T..situation.
I personally would not want to be president and have his kind of responsibilities
.
Was it his fault that ppl were breaking into stores stealing guns, setting the buildings on fire? No.
Was it his fault that when the help was sent that ppl were SHOOTING at the hellicopters? No.
LA. was warned 10 years ago, to DO SOMETHING...but did they?...No.
Is it his fault that there are STILL ppl REFUSING to leave? No.
Is it his fault that rape and murder is going on there? NO.
Is it his fault that my mother, my step-father, my sister and her boyfriend had to sleep out side on their porch with their guns loaded? No.
So before laying ALL the blame at the Presidents feet, take a DAMN GOOD LOOK AT THE STATE AND WHO RUNS IT.
Also, the people that were in Metairie, (Jefferson Parish) where my mother was, was not under an Emergency evacuation before the Hurricane hit.. WHY NOT?
It was told to get the ppl out that the WATER WAS COMING!
But the response was "NO, I' m not telling them to leave"...
So those ppl thought (including my mother) that they would be ok.
Were you directly or indirectly affected by Hurricane Katrina?
157There WAS a little place called "Buck Town USA" ( I'm not joking) it was on the Lake Front, you walked over a little bridge and you were there. I'm telling you it was a teeny tiny town, and yet it had its own ZIP code! If I remember correctly most of the houses there were on stilts. From what I hear it's gone!

In Laplace (pronounced La plauce) west on I 10 past Metairie, where my sister lives is a huge trailer park (off Airline HWY), she tells me that all the trailers are still there with the exception of a few that had trees fall on them... they mostly got the wind damage.
She has the eletric back and has already been in contact with FEMA.

If you search around for LIVE SATELLITE VIEWS you can see for yourself the before and after damage. it's shocking!
I did find out that my Aunt lost her dog (her house is under water).
Were you directly or indirectly affected by Hurricane Katrina?
158None of my family has died....but thank you for your concern.
My Aunts dog died but it was because it was left behind. Why I don't know, I'm guessing it's because my Aunt is in her 80's.
My one Niece is in Ruston,LA. she is fine.
I called OCS to find out about my other Niece they said they would send out an email to all of the other OCS places, and If they hear anything they would let me know.
I do know that she was living with a Foster family.
Were you directly or indirectly affected by Hurricane Katrina?
159Yes, "WOW" is an understatement...I thought that trailer park would be gone too!
Maybe one of the trailers saving graces is, that most of those trailers were older ones.
They built them stronger years ago.
My sister told me her trailer is strapped down with ties that go 8 ft. underground in cement.
Were you directly or indirectly affected by Hurricane Katrina?
160If you had written this, then yes maybe it should have.
But, YOU didn't ...so GO SCRATCH!
