Sorry Mary it's happened to the best of us.......You think wow what did I say? I guess there is some reason behind it but it's so easy to misunderstand intention and feelings on the internet - don't take it personally.
I glanced at your comment last night as you posted it and didn’t see anything offensive in it at all. I can’t imagine why it would have been pulled, other than in error somehow. Let the moderators know, and I bet it’ll reappear.

Your post is probably in cyberspace somewhere. It always happens when it is a "spill your guts" kinda post. I hate when that happens. You could always start a new thread and try again.

Classic FlGuy… too funny!
For those two, maybe just sharing the room is satisfying enough...
Remember, you heard it here first!
Later this week there is liekly to be a 'tropical disturbance' working its way into the southern gulf. Various forecasting tools have differing track and strength estimates. Some have it strengthening and heading for the southern gulf coast. Others more westward to Texas.
Point is, you are going to hear a lot of 'end of the world' chattering on the news programs starting in a couple of days. Geraldo Rivera and Anderson Cooper are already shaing a room in the red light district of New Orleans.
They can’t as long as BP has control. BP would have to ask for their help. "
Hell they wouldn't even let James Cameron help and he's King of the World.
Ah… as long as the vapors are volatile ORGANIC compounds, they must be good for us, huh?
Toxic Vapors From Gulf Oil Spill Reaching Dangerous Levels
The EPA has been monitoring levels of Benzene, Hydrogen Sulfide and other VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) around the Gulf Coast and is finding that the gasses are reaching levels that are known to cause illness. Both BP and the Federal Government are well aware of these gasses and their health effects but all I have heard BP say about the growing number of people becoming ill is that they, "probably have food poisoning."
The high levels were found on days where the monitoring stations were downwind of the oil slick, other times the amount of vapor went back down to normal concentrations.
Respirators using activated charcoal would be a wise investment if you live around the gulf coast or in Florida. They are mainly used for painting and should say they block out organic vapors

So why dont the other oil companies come to the rescue and help out ??????Why are they leaving it to BP?I mean they should all band together because if they dont they could ultimatly suffer from this ugly tragedy also!!!
Goldman Sachs Sold 44% Of Its BP Stock Three Weeks Before The Deepwater Horizon Explosion
The brokerage firm that's faced the most scrutiny from regulators in the past year over the shorting of mortgage related securities seems to have had good timing when it came to something else: the stock of British oil giant BP.
According to regulatory filings, RawStory.com has f More..ound that Goldman Sachs sold 4,680,822 shares of BP in the first quarter of 2010. Goldman's sales were the largest of any firm during that time. Goldman would have pocketed slightly more than $266 million if their holdings were sold at the average price of BP's stock during the quarter.

BP Oil Spill: Fisherman's Wife Breaks The Silence
Venice, Louisiana (CNN) -- Kindra Arnesen's husband often calls while he's out on a shrimping trip, so she wasn't surprised to hear her cell phone ring the night of April 29 while he was on an overnight fishing expedition.
However, this time, her husband, David, wasn't calling to tell her about the day's catch or to wish their children Aleena and David Jr. a good night. He was calling to t More..ell her he was sick, and the strange thing about it, so were men on the seven other shrimping boats working near his.
"I received several calls from him saying, 'This one's hanging over the boat throwing up. This one says he's dizzy, and he's feeling faint. Everybody's loading up their stuff, tying up their rigs and going back to the docks,'" Arnesen remembers.
Arnesen believes it was vapors from the oil and the dispersant's from the BP Gulf oil disaster that made her husband and the other shrimpers sick. She says they were downwind of it, and the smell was "so strong they could almost taste it."
For several weeks, she hesitated to talk publicly about it. Like many fishermen who can no longer fish in the Gulf, her husband has signed a contract to work with BP to clean up the oil, and she doesn't want to bite the hand that puts food on her family's table.
But now Arnesen, a 32-year-old "uneducated housewife" -- her words -- is breaking her silence and is encouraging others in her community do the same. After attending a lecture by Rikki Ott, a toxicologist who's worked with families affected by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, Arnesen decided to organize other wives to ask questions about the safety of working near the oil.
Her cell phone rings constantly.
"Hey, Theresa, how you doing?" she said, taking a call Tuesday morning. "Can you come to the meeting tonight?"
But Theresa can't come to the meeting, and Arnesen has come to expect such a response.
"People don't want to talk. They're scared," she says, of repercussions and consequences from BP. "Our financial situation lays in the palm of their hands."
"I don't believe in coincidence."
When David Arnesen reported that the other men were so sick they were cutting their shrimping trips short and heading home, his wife knew something strange was happening. Shrimpers work through illness, she says, because a trip cut short can cost a shrimper thousands of dollars.
She says the men had all the same symptoms at the same time -- vomiting, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath. Could it be a coincidence?
"I don't believe in coincidence. It would be one thing if one of them got sick. It would maybe be OK if two got sick," she says. "When everyone's getting sick all at the same time, that's not coincidence"
When asked at a news conference Sunday about people getting sick while out on the Gulf, BP CEO Tony Hayward had his own theory.
"Food poisoning is clearly a big issue," HE said. "It's something we've got to be very mindful of."
Arnesen says there's no way her husband and the men on the other boats had fallen victim to food poisoning, noting the men were on eight boats and didn't eat the same food.
The night her husband became ill, Arnesen says, she tried to get him to come home like the other shrimpers, but he refused. He stayed out fishing from 6 p.m. until 9 a.m. the next morning, and came home so sick he collapsed into his recliner without eating dinner or saying hello to her or the children.
"It's a nasty cough. I literally woke him up over and over again," she says. "It didn't sound like he was getting enough air.
At first, David refused to see a doctor, but after three weeks of coughing and feeling weak, he agreed to go. His wife says he was diagnosed with respiratory problems and prescribed medicines, including an antibiotic and cough medicines.
She says while he's feeling better, he still doesn't have the energy he used to have.
"Here we are over a month later and he's still not completely well," she says.

I guess the dream of a car that runs on water may become a reality.
Oil reaches Louisiana shores
Over one month after the initial explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, crude oil continues to flow into the Gulf of Mexico, and oil slicks have slowly reached as far as 12 miles into Louisiana's marshes. According to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, more than 65 miles of Louisiana's shoreline has now been oiled. BP said it will be at least Wednesday before they will try using heavy mud and cement to plug the leak, a maneuver called a "top kill" that represents their best hope of stopping the oil after several failed attempts. Based on low estimates, at least 6 million gallons of crude have spewed into the Gulf so far - though some scientists have said they believe the spill already surpasses the 11 million-gallon 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska as the worst in U.S. history.

Not just americans,the whole world needs oil,the big shots force it upon us,there are better cleaner energy sources that could have been in place years ago,but because of the big greedy oil companies promoting the balck crude ,we have no choice,but the the tide is changing,solar power will rule soon
Americans love their oil and gas guzzling cars. Oil,Oil,Oil.
