    • Kazelbrd : Hi webmaster!
    • 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
    • Kazelvku : Hi webmaster!
    • Kazelqff : Hi webmaster!

    • Mad Mike : Greta,
    • 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

Why Yankees Love the South

Posted on September 30th, 2007 by Greta

A reader and friend of mine (Mena) recently sent me some e-mails that were post-worthy. She gave me her permission to post it. Gosh, I need to stop thinking of life in “posts.” Positive thoughts are contagious! BTW(by the way) - It is Sept 30th, I am sitting in my backyard writing this, [...]

Block Party, Paradise and Rumors

Posted on September 28th, 2007 by Greta

Update Saturday - pictures & still wondering if the rumor about Mayor Nagin holds any water.
I did my share this evening and contributed to the Abita Beer fundraising for the front entrance of our subdivision (thanks Troy- he works there). My fantabulous Lakewood Heights(awesome website) neighborhood in Mandeville of about 120 homes, had at least [...]

New Orleans Pronunciation Dilemma

Posted on September 28th, 2007 by Greta

Fercryingoutloud, how do you properly pronounce “New Orleans?” I researched the heck out of this mystery (one place- hey this is no stinkin term paper). It doesn’t seem that there is a right, but there certainly are wrongs. Is it Jee-na or Jen-a? Seriously, pronouncing New Orleans is about as confusing as Bostonian outsiders [...]

Craigslist does Louisiana

Posted on September 25th, 2007 by Greta

Funny, I was going to write about Craigslist (Hi Craig - yes, he is a real person-we’ve e-mailed) and up pops the news and….. another Craigslist prostitution arrest - this one, 2 sisters in Slidell, Louisiana. I hate to laugh, but I can’t stop - I am easily amused by stupid people! Yes, these [...]

Stand behind your boys NOLA

Posted on September 25th, 2007 by Greta

Me, the Princess of Positive, feels just awful that the Saints lost last night. They were a speckle of inspiration for a state that has been kicked when it was down, then kicked again and again…and then a little more. Buck up little campers, it isn’t that bad and it ain’t over until….well it ain’t [...]

K-Ville 2nd episode

Posted on September 24th, 2007 by Greta

I live blogged it and…it was painful. Sorry - go ahead throw popcorn at me if you really liked it. Let’s just put it this way, I won’t be watching it again. I wasn’t feeling the characters and I thought the plot was goofy. There wasn’t any of the touchy feely family and post-Katina stuff. [...]

Monday means extra coffee!

Posted on September 24th, 2007 by Greta

I love to feature local artwork on my blog. So I surfed (bad habit-so easy to get sucked in for long hours of time) to find a picture that screamed, “Monday morning post.” I love this picture and the title is also apropos for me as it is “4-cup morning” by NOLA artist Kerrie Jones. [...]
