Try it.
It is so easy to use and so fast. Seldom do you have to do an advanced search.
I use it to find the sites for businesses, reviews on products and the best prices on products.
We love the Cadburry (sp) Dark Chocolate Bar that is made in England. Every fall I find the best deal I can and have it delivered. The bars have no perservatives and should only be shipped in the fall and winter.
If whatever you need to know has been published and posted on a website, the Yahoo search can find it. Also, I haven't seen the left wing censorship/manipulation that apparently Google has done on some searches as posted on Free Republic.
The U.S. Postal Service announced this morning that evacuees at the Astrodome will be able to receive mail as early as Saturday.
The service created a special ZIP code to handle the mail: 77230.
Anyone who thinks they may have a friend or loved one sheltered at the Astrodome should address letters by name, with the address General Delivery, Houston, TX 77230.
Just saw this..I pray all are found safe.
Thanks for posting this history of the call up in LA. Pete Wilson, our governor did the call up.
However, he and Mayor Bradley apparently made sure our guardsmen had no rounds in their guns. The same thing that Gray Davis did with Guardsmen after 9/11 in our airports.
I just tried it..I liked it!
Interesting..No wonder the Guard was not assigned police duty.Unarmed the Guard would be helpless..
I am so sorry to hear that you and your wife have loved ones in NO! I'll say a prayer that you hear from them, or get word somehow, that they are safe.
I also understand where you're coming from as to those folks who chose to stay. They made an error in judgement and I pray they live to learn from it.
We have also donated money and I pray that everyone who can will send whatever they can to help our fellow Americans.
God bless you and your family, chena
Here is a little humor on a call up our Ca National Guard by Ronald Reagan to protect students at the Cal Berkley anti Nam uprising.
One of my oldest Ca friends was a young corporal in the National Guard. They went in with no bullets too.
During a tense moment some young good looking female college students removed their blouses and bras. Then, they walked in front of the stunned guardsmen and stuffed flowers down the barrels of their rifles.
Finally their Sarg recovered and ordered them to remove the flowers. One of the guardsmen replied, "At least now I have something in the barrel of my rifle!"
When my friend removed the flower in his barrel, he noticed a little white piece of paper rolled up and scotch taped on the flower stem.
It was the phone # of the coed who put the flower in his rifle barrel. It said call me. He did and they had a great fling for a couple of years.

I could use some humor ..Thanks.
Ha, that's a great story! Sounds like she knew how to win over a soldier's heart. ;^)
Already answered. See #365. Read the thread.
These gals were apparently real college students with a sense of humor and adventure.
One of them asked his squad, "Are those pickles in your uniforms or are you just happy to see us!"
My friend still laughs about it, and apparently he and his squad received commendations for their professional behavior at the great Berkley stand off.
So the first question to the good rev:
"you undoubtedly have a large check for the red cross in your wallet from Rainblow Pusher, just how many millions is it for?"
Only that I'm a moron. Confused you with someone else. Please accept my apologies.
RoseD, It's FR manners to "ping" someone if you're going to talk about them.
I never told you not to step in and help. I even gave you a number to call so you could volunteer. You're response? I'm calling and i'm going! Thanks so much for the info! You are being disingenuous.
But for the rest of us girly men we would prefer the guard to show up with some bottled water.
No you're not. Stuff just happens. Apology accepted and appreciated but not necessary. There's a few tigers on FR but ONLY ONE TIGERSEYE! LOL Have a great night.
"Bush didn't bring me a drink."
LOL Didn't Teddy Kennedy say that first?
Planning could have been better.
But I really don't think anybody could have foreseen how bad this really has become.
I guess I've never understood the thrill of going to a hurricaine zone for a vacation.
