Hello DC Players and friends:

Agualung77 (Doug) is volunteering his time to the Gulf Coast Disaster. I have been asked by Doug to update you on his mission.

I have been in touch with his mother Sharon by phone and email and have taken some of the highlights from her email to share with you. Sharon is very proud of her son and so she should be, Doug is making a difference. The Church of Scientology is funding this mission that Doug is volunteering for. Doug mentioned to me that the Church volunteered during 9/11 so KUDOS to this church and their people.

Doug was very eager to volunteer on the front lines and finally left on Saturday with another volunteer named Juan who had flown in from Los Angles. Juan?s was to rent a van to take supplies to the disaster zone but being 22 in age the rental agency would not rent to him. He ended up having to borrow his grandparents Buick to take Doug and him to Tulsa, OK. When they reached Tulsa they picked up a truck with supplies and went on to Baton Rouge. On Sunday at 3am Doug called Sharon to update her on his journey. He was situated around 80 miles outside the disaster area and said it was a Dead Zone for cell phones and was iffy if phones would work.

Two days prior Douglas leaving he was instrumental in landing 3 major donations.

1.) Garmin donated 300 GPS units (ON STAR) with 20 of them telephone abilities for head honchos

2.) Donation of 90000 bottles of insulin - I am not sure where these came from.

3.) Generator that is large enough to power about 10,000 homes. Douglas worked for carnivals in the past so he called a man named Carl Jones who donated his large generator. The Army/National Guard airlifted the generator it out to New Orleans. After the unit was received Doug was called with thanks. While on the phone he heard people in the background cheering for him over the phone! He was being called ?the Man Of The Hour?. Carl Jones the carnival owner decided to go down with his crew to help out.

MONDAY September 5th UPDATE: Doug and Juan are headquartered in Baton Rouge as of this morning (80 miles from N.O.) Juan's grandma relayed message they are safe.

My heart and prayers go out to Doug, Juan and all the volunteers that are helping out. Also to the worn out New Orleans police and firefighters who stayed on to rescue their citizens during the sniping. Cannot forget the courageous rescue work from the men and women who have been saving lives by helicopter and land, the medical team at the airport and the National Guard.

Hello:

I will be calling Aqua?s mom over the next few weeks to see how he is doing.

Wishing Douglas a good safe journey and sending him thanks for volunteering.

It sure is pretty Chameleon what a nice place to live. I would love to have a garden like this.

Yvonne

My heart and prayers goes out to DC players who have friends and family in New Orleans and sounding area. I hope these people are safe and have food and shelter.

Help has been slow and hopefully it will improve over the next few days for all the people who are now hungry, tired and homeless. Many people are opening their hearts and homes I think these people are saints.

I feel helpless the only thing I can do is make a donation to the Red Cross.

Thank you for sharing your video with us I really enjoyed watching it. The music went great with the video, as there were lots of tears shed. You are very talented do you this type of work for a living?

We do not have a Frys in Canada is it a discount store?

I am starting to get use to my new keyboard it is nicer than my old one.

How many people are using the game pad and is it better than a keyboard.

My keyboard cost $50.00 Canadian it was on sale. My concerns are customer service as this is the second time I have purchased this keyboard. The first time I had issues with a broken keyboard (Board 1) and missing parts in the box (Board 2) and an arrogant technician. When Board 1 would not light up I emailed for help just to make sure I had it plugged in right as the board would not work or light up. I mentioned that the instruction book noted that the board should work (type) when plugged in without installing updates. The Technician ignored my questions and wanted me to go into my BIOS and do some other crazy things that were time consuming and dangerous. I told the tech I could not type on the ZBoard to do some of the things he suggested and asked him if I had a dead board as it would not type and light up. He still would not tell me the board was dead and insisted on me running tests. I emailed him back and forth several times and got mad and asked for the Bosses email address and name. I told him I want someone to answer my questions. He would not give me the Bosses name and email address. I took the board it back to the store and got another one. The store techs knew it was dead right away. I took a second one home and there was missing parts in the box no fault of the company but of the store. This was the final straw I took the keyboard back as I had spent too many hours of frustration.

Three days ago I sent an email to the company and have not heard from them.

The first time I emailed I must have joined a Group, as I need a password they have my email address. When I tried to get my password by filling out the pertinent information nothing happens I get a dead page. So I emailed the Server person and they have not responded to my password dilemma. Maybe it is the same tech that I told off for giving me unprofessional service for not listening to the customer?s questions.

I copied the last bit of information from the site, did not notice the ? they mean nothing.

Hello:

I just purchased a new keyboard. http://www.zboard.com/us/ and would like to hear from anyone that has one. The typing keyboard is smaller to type and hard for a poor typer like me. I already typed this message out and lost around 150 words of typing by pressing the wrong key, URRRRR.

One of the reasons I purchased the board is for the game keypad it is larger. I was using the arrow keys on my very old keyboard and my hands were scrunched up on one side.

If you chat to me and I do not respond it is due to me looking for buttons so I apologize in advance. Sometimes I put the caps lock on by mistake and I am a lot slower.

I like the larger keypads but do not like the pre-set numbers for the guns. They are the same as in the game but I would like # 1 to be the Flack and so on.

If anyone is using the board I would love to hear from you as I want to assign keys for myself and would like any tips on the good, bad and ugly. I have at least 10 days to get used to the set and if I don?t I can take it back for a refund.

Please excuse any typos and poor grammar, as I do not have the time to check on this or the patience using the new board. I really needed a new board and this was on sale for $50.00 so I thought I would give it a try.

Any tips, help suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello:

I am going to get 2-3 on my stomach of cats - not sure which ones yet but they will be cute animated looking cats and will also get Kitty under one of them that will be a black cat. I had Kitty for 18 years and he was black with evil green eyes but he was cute looking. The other cat will be pink. I picked up some funky looking greeting cards 2 days ago with cats on. This means I am getting closer to have them done. I have to find a good artist to do them right, no rookies.
