Anyone recognize who this former member was?
I know you’re going to read this Jamie, I am dead serious about this, don’t you think that you should let someone know what’s going on before you pull the plug on your profile! Couldn’t you write a small paragraph in the Forum letting your friends know what’s up?
Now that is a republican taking charge unlike Kamala in North Carolina last year patting people on the shoulder saying there there
Give a round of applause to Patrick morrisey
Sure, guys. Keep telling yourself that.
i have been involved in 3 different situations that fema was involved while employed and rather you want to believe it or not, that was and is a very corrupt bunch that if people get kickbacks, shit goes on that would make your blood boil.
i know for certain 10 fans were bought at harbor freight for 99 bucks or so, and were then rented to fema at a 100 bucks a day to dry out buildings. 100 bucks for a day , we all know fans will run longer than 24 hours. why is that kind of waste allowed? the government could just buy the 10 fans and save 1000's. but no, the employees "contract" shit out to their friends and get kick backs in their pockets
You always have "a personal experience" about everything. The problem is that those experiences occur in the backwoods of some third rate MAGA state. FEMA, despite their blemishes, has helped not thousands, but millions of victims of storms. You can take your fans and try to ventilate the lower forty. We, the real people, we want FEMA. Even with their warts.
Besides, haven't you heard, "Don't through out the baby with the water"? What's wrong with fixing it if it's broken? Or is the Clown and his minions incapable of "fixing" anything? Wasn't he elected to "fix the swamp"?
What am I saying. He/they can't even wipe their ass after a BM.
why is it the 1's that can't figure out after about the 3rd time of being washed away they might need to move instead of taking peoples tax money all the time>?
and i won't apologize for actually working in the real world for a time and seeing and learning first hand how some things actually work. you worked in a office with numbers and words and typewriters. i worked with my hands and brain until i no longer could by no fault of my own.
stop hating those that actually know what is going on for a change.
I’m sure you worked in the “real world” and that made you very knowledgeable. Me? I just worked in a hospital doing clerical work. Except when I spent 7 days living in the hospital, on call 24 hrs a day during hurricanes. Listening to patients tell me how they reached that point in their lives, or offered some limited comfort to a family member when a loved one passed away or was given a bad diagnosis.
You have to understand, Phart, that I’m 73 yrs young and, while I’m recently separated from WOODY, he and all the other members of a very extended family that includes those members that go all the way to Connecticut, New York, and the Northeast, not to mention Argentina, keep me informed of anything I miss. I’m very well read and, I believe, I can match my humble life experiences with yours.
One of the things FEMA does is bring basic mobile homes as temporary shelters for those left homeless. Those are brought from all over the country. Some are stored ready for the next natural catastrophe. You really think Alabama, Luisiana, South Carolina, Kansas and all those other states with limited funds will be able to do that?
FEMA was created exactly for that reason. The power of the Federal government with its ability to stand behind the purchases needed to help everyone no matter where they live was and is the main reason.
Do you not believe that a bipartisan Congress, Republican and Democrat, saw the need to act?
Look, if eliminating FEMA will accomplish something better, I’m all for it, but, right now, all I see is a complicated effort to keep the national debt down so the Clown’s tax breaks for the top 1 % won’t be noticed. And if that’s not enough for you then tell me, when was the last time your state paid for a major interstate or a bridge across a major waterway without help from the Feds?
Eliminating that would hurt YOUR LIFE, but, helping out those poor unfortunates who, by no fault of their own, are suffering a life changing catastrophe, oh, no, let someone else do/pay for it.
Way to go.
Oh, Phart, tell me in detail how this would be accomplished,
“ whereas if the house had been moved a mile down the road to higher ground the 3rd time it was damaged ”
Tell us how you think 2000+ homes can be moved “a mile down the road”. Just the logistics is enough to send planners screaming. And what do you do with the homeless waiting for a place to sleep? Friend, get real
democrats always try to sell the idea they will create jobs. well here's some jobs.
why is it any solution that makes logical sense is so forigen to liberals? i assume you just want to keep spending money on a house that keeps getting flooded over and over right?
excerpt from a google search.
Severe Repetitive Loss Properties: A subset of homes in the NFIP are designated as "severe repetitive loss properties." These are homes that have flooded multiple times over the years and received significant insurance payouts for rebuilding. For instance, one home in Louisiana has reportedly flooded 40 times in four decades, receiving over $428,000 in insurance payments.
there is a webpage from yale edu that explains the issues in detail but this page makes it impossible to post some links.

that is just not being good stewards of the tax payers money to keep rebuilding houses that flood constantly.
All these things I've just brought up, it doesn't take a Republican or Democrat to make it work. It takes time, planning, and most of all, money. You think every state is able to do that?
seriously, it takes people to come in hauling sheetrock and paint to fix the walls of a house that is flooded.it takes work to do either job. so why not do the work once and be done? easier on the family to know there is a better chance they will have a home. the same money that keeps rebuilding can be used to buy land. the same money paid for labor to keep rebuilding can be spent moving.
if insurance companies can be shown that a house move could save funds in the future, perhaps they would take a second look at the idea. you seem to think change is easy until it means changing something like insurance.
we all have to pay into that. so storms cost us all. it is time to make some changes as insurance is becoming unaffordable because of nonsense rebuilding.
i have often heard the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
it is only logical to FIX a problem instead of patching it.
did you ever read about that house in new orleans that has had over 400,000 dollars spent on it? it was tax valued at less than 50,000 dollars.
why on earth not put it on some wheels and haul it to high ground after about the 3rd time it flooded, fix it and then be fucking done with the problem for good?>?? it's not like the flooding will suddenly stop happening, it's not like the people are enjoying having to rebuild their house every time it rains, can you imagine the disruption in peoples lives when they can't stay in their own house until the walls are torn out every couple years? stress on adults, traumatic for kids, whereas if the house is moved, it creates jobs, keeps the home dry and livable for the life of the family. a win win.
but i honestly think democrats like you enjoy having people dependent on the government so their lives are always at your mercy. as long as you know at least a 100 homes will flood during a storm, you know you have a 100 voters that will vote for you next election since you rebuilt their house for the 37th time with their neighbors money
Those motors are known to leak from a bad seal on that switch which only seems to last about thirty thousand miles b4 it needs to be replaced.
Ask dgraff? That guy is so deep into retirement, my guess is that he’s sitting in his favorite chair with his feet up watching reruns of Andy of Mayberry. Snickers is nearby and they both take frequent naps. When dgraff’s conscious and awake, he’s patiently waiting for Marcie to prepare his next gourmet meal and he repeats it all the following day(s).
The blogger goes on to say that sometimes his urine is salty and sometimes it’s sweet, yeah, I get that, ultimately it’s going to taste like something that was consumed. If I want to drink something salty I will grab a Gatorade and if I want to drink something sweet, I might treat myself to a cold Coca Cola !
there was a big idea going around years ago about waste water being filtered and reused in home.
i can't fathom that myself.
could a person just pee and drink 24 7 and never have to have water from a outside source? i would think evaporation would eventually deplete the supply to a point it would not be enough.
I have always been a SURVIVOR fan and a hundred years ago I recall a contestant getting stung by something they encountered in the water and another contestant urinated on the area to apparently disinfect it. My guess is there’s probably some positive effects with the use of urine but just to sit down and enjoy a good, warm glass of fresh piss, no thank you, I would much rather have a cold glass of Coca Cola OR take me to my happy place, a refreshingly cold Michelob Ultra in a long neck bottle!

I bet she's an old drunk from down south with blonde hair and a big mouth

Well what do you know she's on Aussie man 187 friend list
BTW-- I will no longer call it a walrus. Her new call sign is Ass Pimples
You know, I'm not into playing games with someone who cannot be forthright. I spotted her days ago and admin detected her, too. /suspicious.php She has even set up her profile to not accept private messages from anyone other than the people on her friend list so although it was in no way a request to be her friend, I said something like; members know you as "xxxx" and that's who you should be.
The crazy thing is, is she thinks she is fooling members and admin, too, but she is not. That's why I posted something that Abraham Lincoln said, the short version; you cannot fool all the people all of the time.

Wouldn't you know, I'm blocked too. Apparently I'm a judgmental bitch... Thanks toots, I'd rather be called judgemental. You're straight up mental.
She has a messed up thought process, she was pissed that I didn't tell others to back down or be nice in the way that they treated her. She had no problem in saying rude and malicious things about me and others. I don't give a flying fladoodle that I was blacklisted, c'est la vie!
Maybe she figured that it wouldn't be a good thing since admin was so fond of you!
By the way, I like what you've done with the profile name but weren't you able to work in TWOWARMTTS, too? Or is the "tits" at the end paying homage to that profile?
It may be that CMCBT isn't sure why she/he was deleted by Admin and, believing that I had something to do with his/her banishment (which I did not...directly, at least), CMCBT is just keeping clear of me altogether.
I have no problem with that whatsoever...
Admin didn't say he was "fond" of me.
He merely pointed out that I was not a troublemaker.
Big difference.
Now that I think about it, when I eat at a small restaurant in town, I tend to order "breakfast" no matter the time of day. They always serve their toast cut diagonally.
