Hey, I've been out of touch for a while

[MrScorpio]

Are all you doing?

[In_The_Wind]

1. Welcome back

:hug:

[MrScorpio]

9. Thanks!

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Concerned for our friends in the Gulf Coast region

otherwise good.

[MrScorpio]

6. Who are we looking for?

nt

[KitchenWitch]

10. Several people have been out of touch

Notably

Maddy McCall - last heard she was going inland to her parents' place
merh - she also went inland - but her house was a total loss and she may also lose her job.

Several others, whose names totally escape me at the moment.

[MrScorpio]

15. Wow!

I hope that they're safe

[Rhiannon12866]

11. We were looking for Swamp Rat, but he's turned up in Memphis.

He's worried about his mother and dogs, though. Such a tragic situation. And there are bound to be many DUers there.;(

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Hey papi!

So good to see you! I'm good, school's about to start, going to Boston tommorrow for a few days to hang with a couple Evil-DUers :D

:loveya:

[MrScorpio]

8. Don't be too naughty

Ya hear?

[bicentennial_baby]

12. No naughtier than you would be...

in your head! :P

:bounce:

[enigmatic]

4. Hey bro

It's been a bad last few days watching what's going on in NOLA and the Gulf Coast. I think for alot of people reality is hitting home right now.

I'm hugging Mrs E and the kitty extra hard tonight; I'm very thankful for what I have.

How are you and Mrs S doing? How is she holding up?

[MrScorpio]

7. Hanging in there, thanks for asking

It's so terrible. I can tell that from the little that I've seen about it

[babylonsister]

5. Mr. S, we have a tsunami of threads about

the hurricane, all day, nights, etc. It's riveting, and we're wondering how the cabal might redeem themselves, cause they haven't done anything yet.
Nice to see you back.
End of transmission.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I heard on the news that Bush* might cut his vacation short...

:eyes:

[MrScorpio]

14. Big Whoop

I know I'm relieved

[babylonsister]

18. You've been out of touch and someone answered,

Your response was harsh.

[KitchenWitch]

19. ...

It is getting rough in here tonight too.

x(

[MrScorpio]

21. I'm sorry. My big whoop is for the Chimp

All I have is love for the DUer

I apologize for the misunderstanding

:hug:

[fleabert]

23. I don't think he meant it that way. i think the response was matched to

the rolling eyes smilie in the message, more than the way you may have taken it. Mr. S. is a great guy.

[enigmatic]

30. Yes he is

one of the best..

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Thank you, my DU sister. But I'm not offended, if this was directed at me

He certainly must have known that I was being SARCASTIC! He must know me, by now. I only answered because it was Mr. Scorpio's post and I wanted to answer his question...:shrug:

I'm used to the flame wars and disagreements, though we really should be sticking together. We'll do so much better if we all realize that we're on the same side.:-(

But I've been here for the past few nights and I know that the tension has been palpable... But it's not us; it's the tragedy of a natural disaster made immeasurably worse by human neglect and irresponsibility. It's been really bad here, but we need to come together. We are, after all, kindred spirits, with the same beliefs and goals. Right? I think so, or I wouldn't have remained here through so damn much...:kick:

[Rhiannon12866]

32. I'm sure that we're all SO relieved. Hey, I'm a liberal and posting on DU.

I assumed that you caught the sarcasm...:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Hi there my dear MrScorpio...

I'm relieved that you and MrsS got home okay...

We're doing OK here; but many of us are dealing with the loss of life and property in NO...

I started a prayer thread..come see if you like...

It's so good to have you back in the Lounge...feels more like home to me now...

:loveya: :grouphug:

[MrScorpio]

22. Hey, Peg. I have this for you

I’ve seen your picture
Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
It’s like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know they’re gonna love it

I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won’t you smile for the camera
I know I’ll love you better

Peg
It will come back to you
Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-d
It’s your favorite foreign movie

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Why, thank you, MrScorpio...

That's very sweet of you...

These are lovely lyrics...I'm not aquainted with the song...Can you identify it? I'm sure you can...will you?

I hate being in the dark about stuff that everybody else knows about already...

:pals: :loveya:

[MrScorpio]

28. It's old Steely Dan tune from their AJA album, it's name is PEG, o' course

And it's one of my favorite songs

[lildreamer316]

17. Hello

my dear.
Settle into your chair;.....here's a nice brandy.



Care for a dance?
Meow.



Thought you might like a litte seducing to lighten up your mood...

Hope the trip was palatable. Good to have you home.

[MrScorpio]

24. I'm impressed, thanks

Much love

[WCGreen]

20. Dude, it ain't been the same WO you.....

Hope all is well....

And the service and all brought you peace....

I was thinking about you the other day, about your loss....

[MrScorpio]

25. Thanks, Homes

:hug:

[NMMNG]

26. Welcome back MrS, you've been missed

:hug:
Things are a bit discordant right now as might be expected with Katrina, the ongoing political issues, plus various personal matters. Many of us could use a lift to be sure.

[MrScorpio]

29. Gimme a little time to jump back into form

I'll soon be back on a roll

[NMMNG]

31. I have no doubt of that

[crispini]

34. OMG i just have to hijack the thread to

ask about your FSM graphic. where did you get it! can I really get one for my car?!!!

And :hi: Mr. Scorpio! I'm a lot better now that I have some news of my relatives in LA. :)
