    • Kazeltgn : Hi webmaster!
    • Guest_3356 : Greta, it was wonderful meeting you this weekend. We are frantically packing with just over one and a half weeks to move. Thanks again for referring us to Janie Mizes, she has been amazing! See you soon!! Sharon and Chris

    • Greta : Guest 2352 I've donenothing but expressed the outrage everyone else has in writing. At least I am not afraid to stand for what I believe.
    • Guest_2352 : this is not a threat - this is a TRUE warning - be careful who you piss off around here and who you talk bad about b/c St Tammany really is very mayberry in many ways, so just be careful
    • Guest_4958 : Mandeville was a great place before Eddie Price and will be a great place after him because of the character of the people who live here. Show me one place where politicians have made life better. They can only make things worse. I hate the "after me therefor because of me" mentality of politicians. Most of the time the truth is "after me, despite me."
    • Guest_889 : I feel particularly connected to you. NOLA is my second home, discovered after three years as a Katrina volunteer -- I travel, with a group of 100+ students from Centenary College in NJ each January, to help with the rebuilding effort. But the closer connection has been my friendship with Zach Gibbon, Debra Gibbon's incredible oldest son. I met him somewhat accidentally, having been "assigned" him as my personal trainer at a gym in Hackettston, NJ. I had been a Red Cross volunteer at Ground
    • Deborrah : I talk about crazy dating relationships in my book Sucka Free Love and would be happy to be a guest. Greta!
    • Greta : Guest 40 - Quite contraire - but hey - I try and I sign my name to everything and not drop in as an anonymous guest!
    • Greta : Baileigh Levee - keep cheering for Mayor Price - he needs people like you! You must be a good friend!
    • Guest_40 : she's lived here for a year and a half and thinks she's already an expert on the whole new orleans area - she hasn't gotten a clue
    • Baileigh Levee : To Greta, It is so sad that you believe you should sit in judgement. Eddie Price, as well as his family, are some of the finest people I have ever met. When I first came to Mandeville I fell in love with the city, and I think that is large in part to the works of Mayor Price. I think it is such a shame that people in this day will read articles and a believe it to be the absolute truth. The truth is it was a mistake, and guess what everyone is allowed those in life. I hope that one day yo

NOLA=Toronto=Iraq?

This letter was sent to me by my good friend in Canada. It appeared in the Calgary Sun Letters Section today:
A total of 52 murders occurred in Toronto this year and it’s only July! The victims included innocent women and children. Before the year is over, the number will undoubtedly pass 66 — the same [...]

Crime can kill the city too

I am up with a case of insomnia. Not really insomnia, but the dog was crying for a potty break and I am the one he can get up in the middle of the night. Then I realized I was hungry and fixed myself a snack, checked my e-mail and now am on the puter. [...]

New New Orleans Ambassador Program

“I think people can take some comfort in knowing that it was a random act of violence,” said Sgt. Joe Narcisse, and NOPD spokesman.
Now I admit I am no kool-aid drinker and am skeptical of every story and want to know the other side. Anything said or written in the media can quickly be taken [...]

Cheers New Orleans!

I’ve made the executive decision that the greater New Orleans area includes St. Tammany Parish. I hate feeling like a step-child of the city! As for the show today, it was fun and unfortunately I was only on for the the first hour with Andre’ and Virginia (the other guest). Thanks for listening if you [...]

CLARIFICATION: The chimps were in NO way insulting - I just thought they were cute:)
