    • Guest_2292 : Have a general question for you. A quickly deleted message about Nola.com site being corrupted made me wonder: If someone was able to obtin the code, 1) would they be able to view all the email addresses and info on the posters? IE, what beyond the power to delete does code access allow?

    • Guest_3491 : Greta what would you do if your battery went dead? LOL Rodney

    • Guest_1578 : Butch Porte" lawyer many years ago was Howard Fussell - ring a bell - Jones and Fussell. Howard is now passed. A good friend of his was Ronnie Mentel, he owned an large electrical firm in NO and had tons of money and close friends with Lambert. Butch never would have had the money to start all those shopping malls on his own. Ronnie Hand the lawyer was also big player along with "Cuddlwes McClain (real estate) and believe me Gus Schultz and some of his dealings I would check into John Pierce
    • Greta : S I don't blame you!
    • S : I ended up paying only what was educationally related

    • Guest_2845 : don't know if you know of it or not but there is a hot air balloon fest this weekend in baton rouge
    • Greta : @S «link»
    • Greta : @mjhisschool Not sure what you are talking about - I think it is a great school and my son will be going there.
    • mjhiscool : I was not a cheerleader or OR a sports freak, and I ahd a great time. . . we all have our opinions, and it hurts my feelings that you would announce yours online.
    • mjhiscool : I went to mjh last year and it was awesome! I would appreciate it if you didn't bag on my school.
    • Guest_2717 : Just got back from Rosemary Beach, next to Seaside, and got stung by a jellyfish VERY bad on the back of my legs. Other than that I had a great time!!! ;-)
    • Bamagirl : Isabella's Pizzeria II‎ is on the other end from Izumi's. Oh man, everything I've tried there has been soooo good! The south west chicken wrap made two meals for me. The pizza has fast become our favorite. While the inside is a nice place to relax, I adore that they deliver.
    • Bamagirl : Izumi's is wonderful! If you like Japanese food they do it well. Prices aren't bad either
    • Bamagirl : Thought I'd pass along two places we've enjoyed lately.
    • S : I know you went to blue bayou/dixie landing earlier this summer...was it good? we're going next week...usually do gulf island but the kiddos want to do the roller coasters
    • 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 : I tried to email you to no avail. Plz eme as alot of cooks would like to do another chili cookoff for the troops!madmike@c hilict.com
    • 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
    • Greta : Done NOladder
    • NO News Ladder : Hey Greta! Could you have them set BNN NO to our Time Zone: CST? Thanks, Editilla -btw I hung your catholic post. Priceless

    • Guest_2179 : My family made 4 and 1/2 servings of the Chicken Rigatoni this week from the Hungry Forager. Best Pasta we've had in a long time.
