Alan,

I for one have no hard feelings toward you in the least. I to have been taken advantage of by folks with a sad story. I to have given money or goods that I could ill afford to help someone...

Daz,

I know the check would be good, but I believe that a money order would be less trouble for Dread.

I'm not sure, but I think at least some banks offer money orders made out in currencies...

Todd,

Please note that nothing was said to suggest sending monetary donations anywhere but directly to Dreadbelly. I challenged the members, and offered to provide a mailing address. When a...

Don't recollect asking for sanction, endorsement by, or permission from Website owner or Moderators.

If this is a community, the members of the community help each other.

Cash or a postal money order would be best, even with international mail.

Less chance of Social Services gigging him for the assistance.

If this is a community, it is time for it to help a member and friend.

Dreadbelly has bared his soul telling about his problems. You probably have an idea how hard that is for a proud man.
...

Thanks you and God Bless you all!

Remember the iron hand?
'nuff said.

Pete Martin was a heck of a fine guy. He had a major thing for old Winchester lever-action rifles and Colt Single-Action Army Revolvers. He also had a pretty wife and three handsome sons. Pete...

Now you are starting to understand my annoyance.

And Dr. Douglas is probably correct. When people in authority are accused of heavy-handedness, the hand almost invariably becomes heavier.

Having grown up in the Deep South, South Alabama as a matter of fact, where there was a strong Klan influence right on up through the 1960's and early 1970's, I can categorically say that I've never...

John,

That is a mighty handsome family you have, even if one of the boys is carrying the white and tight haircut to an extreme. :-D

That's right. The right of self-defense applies only to the young, the vigorous, the healthy, the police and the military. Older people should be helpless victims, and unable to defend themselves....

This might sound wierd, but it is not intended to be smart-arsed at all.

Before you start to peddle you goodies, get a little wagon similar to one of the old Radio Flyer Red Wagons of years gone...

Doctor Douglas,

You are a prince!

Well done sir!

Ol Freddy really clobbered Mobile about this time of year in 1979. In the aftermath of the storm, looting was rampant. Until the mayor issued a shoot on sight and shoot to kill order to the police....

It wasn't an oil rig Graham.

It was a platform used as a dormitory for oil rig workers. It was in port for service and blew/washed about two miles upstream on the Mobile River to lodge against...

Andrew,

Today's temperature reached 98 F, with heat index near 110 F.

We won't cool off for another two or three months. Even then, temps will remain in the 70's and 80's until mid-November or...

My wife and I had planned a day trip down to NO before school started back. Unfortunately, a flat bank account and rising gas prices kept us from going. We are doubly regretful that we missed the...

In my opinion, no amount of swamps or marshes would have dissapated Katrina. She was a Cat 5 storm when she came ashore and 250 miles inland, it was still a Cat 1 storm. I live a hundred miles...

Why be ashamed of using the standard name for Remington Rangers?

Terry,

No way in the world do I want to encourage or participate in any sort of religious arguement. As you say, no one changes their minds. But how is an Off Topic thread, that has nothing to...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I’ve said it before and I will state it clearly again:

Damn a conversation that cannot tolerate a little wandering!

The current obsession with remaining “On topic” is...

If you've no objection to a name in Dwarvish, I'll check in the appendicies of Lord of the Rings and see if I can come up with something.
