However, since it seems dish soap had not been included on my shopping list, and my dishwasher went on the blink months ago any chance that all dish soap chemicals were stored in New Orleans ? well the answer is NO!. and Nope I am not and will not fix it one more time. I have already replaced two seals on one obtuse door, besides, it was a darn noisy contra affair, bu it di do dishes. Anyway, the appliance distributor also indicated that we will not and can not order any more of these seals, I told him, that I hate green eggs with ham. John |

What shipping? Southern RR has lost 1.5 miles of rail across that
big lake and they are now searching for the rail in the lake. The bridge is ok but no track to run on. Of course the rail yard is about 6ft under water right now.

For those who might not know much about the tobacco industry, pipe tobaccos very often will contain a tobacco known as Perique. It is used to slow down the burning rate of the tobacco and give it that strong spicy taste or bite. It has some kinship with Tabasco. The only place it is grown is in one area of Louisiana. I wonder if those fields survived? -- Later, Darrell Stec Webpage Sorcery http://webpagesorcery.com We Put the Magic in Your Webpages |
