They will be wonderful ambassadors, I agree. <BR/><BR/>However, personally I do think New Orleanians who are persevering and digging their roots in deeper *is* news considering all the negative press we get about how horrible it is here.<BR/>That is a positive and deserves mention.<BR/><BR/>Now, make a good pate with that chopped liver and I'm in!charlottehttp://www.charleyana.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-82742448763123410322009-03-30T07:20:00.000-05:002009-03-30T07:20:00.000-05:00True dat.

I just realized you ARE one of the few people I know who would like chopped liver! :-)<BR/><BR/>And yes, as I"ve mentioned before, almost everyone I know has come and gone from here many times so I really try not to judge. It's very personal, and never an easy decision given how complicated life can be here.<BR/><BR/>More specifically though, I think it's important to note that they don't come more hardcore local than Loki and he will probably be working harder for Nola AWAY from home than most people actually do while here. As for Maitri, well, I put family above all else, so I relate to her situation as well. I know they'll be back so I guess I don't see their leaving as <I>really</I> leaving.Pistolettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03252937552656138163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-72945566732446153152009-03-29T23:47:00.000-05:002009-03-29T23:47:00.000-05:00In rethinking this, I am now realizing, I am still...In rethinking this, I am now realizing, I am still in the hundreds that are still here. Which would put me in the chopped liver category as well...except I feel more like chicken soup with matzah balls.Leigh C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13654596932726420097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-34161627770185794102009-03-29T23:44:00.000-05:002009-03-29T23:44:00.000-05:00Someone (or 3) you know leaving is news.

Nothing against those who are/do - it's a personal choice and I wish them all the best.

This is simply how it's affecting me personally right now...it's a strange time.<BR/><BR/>Chopped liver is pretty damn good, by the way. A true delicacy these days, when not many people are even offering it much anymore.<BR/><BR/>;-)Leigh C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13654596932726420097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-63645844454742438022009-03-29T13:05:00.000-05:002009-03-29T13:05:00.000-05:00I think this is one of the problems with the nola ...I think this is one of the problems with the nola blogosphere - it's so clique-ish. Many people in Nola have no intentions to leave, they just don't blog about it. It kinda bugs me that a few people decide to leave <I>temporarily</I> and everyone gets all worked up. What are the rest of us, chopped liver? :-(Pistolettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03252937552656138163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-35910811883281583502009-03-28T19:52:00.000-05:002009-03-28T19:52:00.000-05:00Just a little bit longer, hang on for the arrival ...Just a little bit longer, hang on for the arrival of May 2010 and the end of Nagin as we know it - things are bound to get better, anything anyone would be better than this<BR/><BR/>hope springs eternal :-)swampwomanhttp://swampwoman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
