1. I though Mo was a she?

Last posts I can find are 9:00 pst Saturday morning. I hope that means she got the kids in the car and got elsewhere, if she'd tried to ride it out she probably would've had time to post before the crap hit the fan.

Edit: Whoops. Bad LeftyMom.

2. Mo is a he.

he's also wheelchair bound and blind, but he doesn't let that stop him from making great bush-hating graphics...

here's hoping he's safe. :)

[growlypants]

3. what??????

[bicentennial_baby]

7. indeed

good thoughts here for Mo... :hug:

hi KG, my darling... :hi:

[KG]

46. hey, babe!

:hi:

[Carni]

31. You've got to be shitting me?

He does those graphics and he can't see?

I had no idea--just goes to show you that a person can do anything they set their mind to, but that is still truly amazing.

[Cleita]

4. I never knew his/her gender.

So I assumed she was a he. :blush:

[Karenina]

5. Mo's a bit intense

He worries about things such as this:

[CatWoman]

6. Thinking good thoughts for Mo

and sending vibes.

Be safe, my friend.

Be safe.

[crispini]

8. Wow. I did not know.

:scared: Do we know what part of the city?

[DanCa]

34. Hey Mo glad your safe buddy

The title of this thread had me worried. Best wishes and good thoughts.

[mopaul]

9. mo's alright i think

actually, i'm safely tucked away in kansas city, mo. and i can see pretty good. and i'm a boy, a daddy, and a grand daddy, and a husband to mrs. paul. (not of the famous fish sticks)

[mopaul]

12. stay safe and dry rat

[Swamp Rat]

14. I'm in Memphis, looking at the remains of my city on TV.

:cry:

[tx_dem41]

21. My wife and I are watching too......sad, but amazing at the same

time, in a way.

Reminds me of that May 5th we had back in 1978...only about 100 times worse.

[Swamp Rat]

24. I was in middle school... watching my science teacher's VW bus float

down the street during that May flood. :rofl: I had to swim home down Willow Street, with garbage and rats. :puke:

[tx_dem41]

27. I was swimming down Berkley (in Algiers) with garbage and rats.

Notice something in common?

[Swamp Rat]

30. This will cinch it:

Does this make your mouth water? :D

[kohodog]

23. MoPaul and Swamp Rat on the same thread! Damn

Two of the great DU artists. Now don't get any ideas you two. A collaboration would be truly scary. MoPaul, glad you're out of the fray. Swamp Rat, let us know how you make out when you get home. I'm sure many duers will chip in to help in whatever way we can should you need it.

[Swamp Rat]

28. I need a million bucks...

:D ... or 10 lbs. of crawfish and a six pack of Abita Amber. :9

[DistressedAmerican]

47. I Thought Skinner Strictly Banned Contact Between These Two!

ALERT! ALERT!

[G_j]

[Swamp Rat]

15. oops, wrong post.

[G_j]

26. I was going to welcome you 'back' for real

WB SR :thumbsup:

[Swamp Rat]

33. Thanks... I didn't mean to steal Mo's thunder

... if that's even possible. :D

[G_j]

41. no but

you probably wouldn't mind a little bland weather at this point.

(Actually it can be quite beautiful after a hurricane.)

[bigwillq]

13. So glad you're safe!

:hug:

[Swamp Rat]

16. Thanks bigwillq

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

17. I apologize

Don't know where I got it in my head that you were a she. Probably made that assumption because you're so passionate in advocating for your kids.

Glad to hear you're okay. :D

[mopaul]

40. no need

i'm glad that EVERYBODY is o.k. and glad to clarify the many mysteries surrounding me.

[mopaul]

25. just to clarify, i live in k.c., mo.

where the weather is bland.

[Cleita]

29. So why did I think you lived in LA?

Then you didn't post while it was going on, while I was thinking you were in NO. Oh, well, I'm glad everyone is safe so far. I hope more DUers check in who were in the path of the hurricane.

[Swamp Rat]

37. Dat's me!

[Carni]

35. Boy do I feel dumb

I think I got *punked* earlier in this thread...if I had used my common sense I would have deducted that a blind person could probably not do graphic images.

Oh well what the hell -- it's not the first time I have publicly made an ass of myself! lol

[mopaul]

38. welcome to the club

Yup, I was having a hard time believing a blind man could do those great graphics.

[Scout1071]

49. Mopaul - This Kansas Citian welcomes you for as long as you need.

I hope that your home and treasures are safe when you get home.

In the meantime, enjoy our fair city and this beautiful weather!

On edit: Disregard! I've just seen your post above that you live here!
