OUR ROCKEY!

Men With Whom I'd Be PROUD To Eat Dinner!

Rockey Vacarella was so serious about having dinner with President Bush that he brought a gourmet chef with him. However, though his meeting with the President was delayed until the next day he says the trip was worth it considering he didn't dine alone.


Rockey Vacarella is a Katrina survivor who towed his "FEMA trailer" all the way to Washington, DC to deliver a message from the Gulf Coast."Our whole mission is to thank the President. We're not negative. We're not here to say it's your fault hurricane Katrina came - 'cause it's not.

It's mother nature"

This is a great guy! I heard his interview shortly after it was done--and it was quite a different thing than the usual pissing and moaning that the Democrats do! He has a wonderful attitude, he's reasonable--and he doesn't try to apportion blame according to partisan politics (ya think we could clone him?)

My hat's off to you, Rockey!

I saw a 15 second clip of this on TV yesterday and it looked like the Prez really enjoyed this guy's company. It was a good scene. Isn't it nice to see a grateful person come out of the sewer of leftist New Orleans? We had SOOO much fun there in August of 2001. It may be years before we go back now that they reelected Ray Niggin!

A good strong dose of Ampicillin should clear up the pus in your heart and frontal lobe anonymous.

JINGO--Nah, 'anonymous' is Weasel (they won't let him back into the United States, so he posts from Finland...)... He's upset that he's not allowed on my blog. I've told him I know it's a real shame, but I allow only the BEST posters here!

Good morning all--Merry Widow, my Zabelle, Nanc--and all you fellows!

Phandancer from FPM

Finally...someone who has the ability to see the truth through the lies and Democratic Underground crud.

I cannot tell you how many times I have had arguements with bleeding hearts about Katrina and blame. I mean, a Cat. 5 Hurricane and a city below sea level. All the King's horses and all the King's men could not have prevented that mess.

Some say it opened up the wounds of racism and poverty. Personally, I think it showed the hard core downside to a nanny state and corrupt local politics. It also allowed us to see the criminal element in its natural state.....of course that would be racist to observe, but here I am.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

HI PHANDANCER! Nice to hear from you! (Just why'd ya name yourself that? It's unique!)

And you have a good point--NOTHING was going to stop Katrina--and the people didn't prepare themselves worth a damn! (You think if Rainer went off, Paul and I think the fed gov. would see to us first--if at all?) HA!

Opening the 'wounds of racism'? Not hardly. Those professional race-baiters can fill out THAT card all by themselves!

I couldn't care less about the color of the "clothes" the person is wearing, but what kind of person fills them! Corruption is corruption, there is no color to it but evil!
Good afternoon, Donal, had some blogger problems, so I wasn't doing much blogging.
Going to a church council meeting in a little while, got bad news to pass on. Prayers gratefully accepted!

I'll gladly send another good wallop (dollop?) of prayers your way, hon--I'm concerned about ya! If you ever want to "talk", my email addy is DONAL2004@aol.com.
Come on over to "my house"--you're always welcome!

What with 2-3 other of our fellow bloggers having had various surgeries and accidents, we need a prayer circle going 'round like a tornado! You take care--and I'll be thinking about you!!!! ;-)

Well sweetie- prayers were answered, I guess G*D was checking my obedience level! For my sake, not HIS. The message I was given at the meeting was bad enough, I was stepping down from council and head of the prayer ministry, because G*D was taking me in another direction! Whew! Now I know I can trust HIM even more than I have before! Isn't that a really kewl thing to learn? And keep learning! And I thoroughly agree, we do need a prayer chain for our blog community! With so many Jews and Christians, we need to support each other during these times and they are getting tougher! I'll get you my e-mail and maybe with Nanc or Warren or Always we can set up one!
Good on you, girlfriend!

P.S. how's the arm doing?

My arm's doing better, hon, thank you for asking. I'm hanging in there!

You have a really good attitude about your difficulties--it's quite encouraging (I NEVER hear anything like that at DU, even amongst their own...)

I've recently been taught several good lessons about taking care of oneself, having common sense, and respecting the bodies we were given. Funny how those lessons just come along! I sure needed the one I got!

Well...life is a series of tests, this is a test, it is only a test! I'm listening to my local Christian station and they're playing "In Christ Alone", hahahaha, G*D gives such subtle reminders! BTW- Hope is a gift from G*D, if you aren't in relationship, how can you have real hope? Those at DU don't have hope, all they have is this life! When it doesn't go they're way, what do they have? Dust and ashes! I have a mansion and some well loved ones waitting for me and ONE who has never let me down! I have everything and all they have is dust and ashes! I can dance for joy, they dance to go into a frenzy to forget! I have G*D, they have drugs, alcohol, promiscuity and politics. No wonder they are in such a tizzy, they have nothing else! Everything they believe in is in front of their eyes and they are constantly disappointed. That's why they scream that they have been robbed, they don't have anything else! Dust and ashes!
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

Will e-mail you shortly! Pull your addy, I got it and you don't need nut cases jamming your e-mail!

TMW--NO HON, People DO write me at DONAL2004@AOL.COM--but I usually have a friend send me a new email addy from someone who wants to get in touch with me, rather than open an unfamiliar email.

That Chunk-O'-Nothing-Socrates has tried to dupe several of us, he threatened some of the guys awhile back etc. He never got to me because I never told him anything about myself.

(Paul made me promise to be MORE than careful--no giving out personal info--DONAL2004 was created specifically FOR FPM--no phone numbers exchanged, and no meeting online people in person (I teased him that the Green-Eyed Monster bit him on that one! He said "You're damned tootin' it did! LOL!)

We compromise on most things--but Paul said he wasn't going to be a-worrying about me all day while he was in class or at work, he just wasn't.

He's really a heck of a guy--and I am a lucky gal!
