And that is what I love about Louisiana! You noticed, no fights! Everyone was hugging each other. All about the love. Makes me cry (again) just watching the love!

Ehhh....there was a fight or two. Just trust me on this one.

BUT....they were few and far between and the poles were not even greased and nobody was climbing them, no jumping on cars, turning them over, starting fires, looting stores.... It was good times!!

I remember in 2000 when the Lakers won the NBA championship & there was riots, fires, looting. The biggest party city in the country & nothing! So proud to be from South LA, can't say from New Orleans, but I'm only 1 hr away!

Denver rioted once or twice while I lived out that way. This was definitely better!! We had a good time last night!!

Lori, your "friend" does sound like a mean, combative person. I de-friend her if she's bringing you down.

As far as the riots, I recall Detroit rioting when they won a championship for a certain sport a few years back. I remember seeing on the news the fires people started. New Orleans didn't have that last night.

Um....they are mentioning the "snow" word for Thursday night! (Wintry mix possible with a few flakes thrown in for the South shore.) Aren't we supposed to be a little warmer than this by now?

If you go to the parade tomorrow, they are saying 42-46 degrees with wind, so dress warm! I don't think I'm going to make it there. I wish I could tape it off the tv but I don't have the technology to do it, and I have to work so I can't go watch it in person.

I did not expect any rioting here last night. If I did, we would not have even considered going down to the Quarter.

A fistfight did break out right next to us at one point. I sensed it coming and jumped out of the way with Cara; right after we moved I heard the punch and then the guy slam into the side of the media truck we had just been standing next to. The only other time I felt anything other than safe was when the crowd got really insanely crushingly crowded. That's when we decided to leave. When I got home I heard there had been a stabbing; I think we were about block or so away at the time it happened based on the information the news gave.

I was away from home for 5 hours and those were the only incidents in that time span?? New Orleans did good.

Welcome to our new home! Hope everyone finds their way.

I live in Dallas now, but lived all of my life in Terrytown. I miss it so bad.

Funny- I defriended her a few months ago and played dumb we she friended me again. She was very offensive about LSU and a couple other things and I just couldn't take it any longer.

So, I must have offended her b/c she defriended me after I posted back to her. heeheee........ I am relieved.

I am not sure there is a church in the NOLA area that didn't jump on that!

 

[Terry36]

Hi gang.

Lori I too would defriend this person. You don't need that drama.

I'm still tired and dragging. I think I'll turn in early tonight.

Man I hate going to parades in cold and windy weather...UGH.

Bethany what in the world, snow on Thursday?

I hate parades in cold weather too. The forecast for tomorrow is making me feel better about not going to the parade tomorrow. Oh, I hate doing most things in cold weather come to think of it.

Margaret Orr, Channel 6, mentioned it. Blame her.

I also saw something about how the past 4 Februaries (is that a word??) there have been between 11-16 days of 70+ degree weather. So far this February we have 0 and there are no in the 7 day forecast! BRRR!

And I get NO sympathy from people in New York about it either!! Hmph!

The year our son was a page in a Mardi Gras ball- 88 or 89 - it snowed like crazy and it was in February.

Hey y'all,

I'm just recovering from our after game celebrating. I still can't believe it! We won the freakin SUPERBOWL!!! We want to go to the parade tomorrow. Parking is always a problem for Bob's van. Jenny, We might try getting to your spot.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Well at least I've got an ice scraper now.

 

[Terry36]

The party outside was loud and went on for a long, LONG time! DH was running around outside hootin' and hollerin' and hugging people he didn't know. He even made me stop the pee patrol- "aw, just let 'em pee...I'll turn on the sprinklers tomorrow".

Wow sorry Lorie I totally missed this. Girl you are too funny with the pee patroling. I'd do the same thing also.

There is a parking lot, a nice one about a block away.

I won't be coming after all. My friend can't drive now and I dont want to drive back alone in dark .

Don't blame you girl! Safety first.

 

[portocall]

Ack, all these pages to read. I am recovering from last nights party and bummed that there is just no way I can make this parade tomorrow. Work for one, and then it is also a school night.

Lori, sorry your friend (term used losely) was bringing you down. I grew up a Tampa Bay Bucs fan and they were very much like the Saints where McDonalds would give a free Big Mac if they scored ONE point at a home game, but of course, the Big Macs were safe since they didn't score at all that year. When I moved here, the first year the Saints grew on me. I dreamed of the day they would make it this far and hoped I would get to see and experience it. I am thrilled to be here and be a Saints fan. I still have a weak spot for the Bucs but I don't follow them much and only cheer for them now when they make it to the Superbowl.

I hope every has a wonderful Tuesday...
