Friends down in San Antonio are saying that local heb grocery stores are taxed out of people grabbing anything they can find ---- and they are predicting a lot of rain---- so if San Antonio goes ...that means more Houstonians will flee northward. ....we have people coming in from Tulsa to Houston and have to stop at Dallas , trying to go to San Antonio and don't want to mess with the rain , ....so if San Antonio goes , Dallas is next line of defense --- don't know yet if we wud be getting people from Nawlins but gotta express , very taxing and nerve wracking - good for our hotel revenue but yikes! Harvey needs to leave us alone ...thanks for listening - T.b.c. As things develop----
 
FANTASTIC NEWS! -:thumbsup2:thumbsup2



FEMA is on their way to Houston ....
We are also aware that we 'should' begin receiving them very shortly -


AND -
MY NEW ORLEANS ADVENTURE IS STILL ON!!:dancer:
(THANK YOU "Experience New Orleans" FOR THAT - YOU MADE MY DAY):goodvibes




It feels so nice to know that help is on their way - even from the state of Louisiana - thank you all -




updates more to come -:goodvibes
(I'm on 4 hrs sleep talking to Austin, San Antonio, Houston, etc to see how this will impact Dallas... work wise)

:scared:having a " few" Mai tais and listening right now to Christmas music to change the mood .....since wdsu tv New Orleans and the Governor is telling Nawlins residents to prepare for flooding ...with extremely weak pumps and levees ... Residents there are FB overwhelmingly ticked off and I don't blame them ...:scared: Feeling very nervous ---and about to cry ...hoping for Nawlins and the whole state of Louisuiana to pull through ... I could use a smile from someone if my Cajun trip gets canceled - hoping for their safety and no structural damage --

New Orleans is flooding (on the dirty side of the TS)- and TS Harvey is out n the Gulf heading their way .... Here in Dallas (where I work at),we are getting flooded with call after call looking for lodging and we are about at capacity - feeling stressed - and I'm at home - doing my best to chill out and regroup b4 wed ( when I return to work) - crazy it sounds but booze is helping --- and this is only the beginning ....I vow to get thru this - everyone stay strong - will keep all of you posted - hope Nawlins pulls thru -

**NOW ONLY IF HE WOULD PUT HIS MUSIC ON I-TUNES....**
(video shot during an adventure of mine out in Hollywood a few years ago)




Thought I would throw this little bit of music atcha as I am starting 2get the DISney bug again in regards to vacationing.....:scratchin


Can't say a whole lot....
BUT -
here is one clue:





DETAILS TO BE RELEASED ONCE I COME BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS -party:




ANYWHO -
about making that phone call to my brother -
and
when you see things like this in the news:
Body found at Omni Hotel is that of missing worker, family says:scared1:

I
Felt that it was way long overdue to push aside the silliness that has been allowed to build up all these years between me, him and our Dad -

BUT......
the passage of time did a whammy on me as I have lost all contact with him!:crazy2:

So, I got creative and contacted FB KHOU-TV and posted my plight and lo and belhold, over 2K people were helping me on FB try and located him and his family....:goodvibes


One such Good Samaritan came forward and provided my Brothers information -
well -
just a wee but tooooo much info on him...

But I pushed that aside and
So I picked up my I-phone and called him -:wave:


Mind you - we havent spoken in dang near 15 years!


My reaction??:)
Felt very nice and was very appreciative to not only hear from him and to know that his family is ok
and
it also feels nice to know now that at least we are now speaking.:thanks:

:thanks: David.


Because?
Imagine being that Lady stuck in that elevator........


and
its to all of you kind enough to be reading this that I hope I am hitting home of the importance of communicating with your Family no matter what and that holding grudges against a Family member is very unhealthy and serves no purpose in life

and
that how in the world can you carry on a grudge when you receive a phone call from your local Police Department attesting that one of your Family members didn't make it out ok during a natural disaster??:sad:



THIS IS WHY I am so very appreciative of you David - thank you for taking my call.



ANYWHO &
All rightee -




Q - "DM3" movie??
A - LOVED IT!!::yes::


Q -Wonder Wonder movie??
A - IMHO slow in developing.....hate to admit it but i walked out of it after 62 minutes....


iknowiknowiknow...STILL -
will say this tho about it -
makes for a great date movie.....:rotfl:



and lastly,
time again to jump back on that pesky weight scale



:smooth:
WEIGH INS begin again FRIDAY:smooth:
