I will not support BEB until they fix mold and cockroach issues.
Have Alexander and Searight signed up?
I've seen some Aussie special forces rappel down a rope from a helicopter with guns in tactical position... scary shit right there.
Why would anybody give a hospital that name knowing 'Friends of Children' is the name of the organization statewide that supports, raises funds for and pampers Head Start in this state.

What’s wrong with that? The kids that go to. Head Staer certainly need all the help they can get
Dear 12:00, guess you have never had a kid with a life threatening illness go there. Last thing you'd be worried about is a cockroach. I've been there, done that. Get over yourself.
I said nothing related to your post, 3:48. Try to understand what you're reading. I asked why a Hospital Board would give the hospital virtually the same name as another organization in this state.
2:42 / 7:46, take your own advice and understand what you're reading: The hospital name is Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital. Friends of Children’s HOSPITAL raises funds to benefit said hospital.
EXCUSE ME, then. I should have said "...why a hospital fund raising organization, an official arm of the hospital, would have virtually the same name as another organization in this state."
As a matter of fact, by association, that could eliminate some potential contributions by those who infer the hospital fund raiser is also affiliated with Head Start. Me, for example, since I made that assumption earlier.
Not that the edit makes any difference. The question remains the same. And hasn't the official name of the hospital changed to, simply "Childrens" or "Children's" or "Childrens'"?
If Mississippi's HEAD START program had been named to properly describe the mission it would be HURRY UP AND CATCH UP FROM JIM CROW. But of course Simon Legree remains a fond memory of better days for so many voters here, many of whom are convinced that the south's gonna rise again and what was it that Vardaman said about educating the blacks in Mississippi?
What does Duran Duran have to do with this?
