Mary Clyde thank you for all you do. I heard one lady say she was sent to LA with Gustav...was still there now...with Ike people. A mother of four! Ike stories will be around for a LONG time. My nephew is there.They are still finding destruction. Where are those hundreds going to live......that have NO HOUSE to return to? Who will support them for months?Or like Katrina...for years. You know, I don't understand all I know about this.....here in Tuscaloosa Al...if I had to pack up and leave, because of a flood coming...from a "nature thing", there would be no thought of someone moving me, at their expence...or payng my hotelbill, or gas to get to my families' somewhere else.. .we would all be respnsible for ourselves...and if my house was destroyed,if I had inurance...fine.thats my problem...if not we would sell the lot...or get a loan to rebuild...I don't mean that neighbor does not help neighbor, or that we don't have emergency shelters set up during terrible things...we do...we also have emergency agencies where people who has lost a home...by fire, or tornado, etc can go and gt mattreses...clothes...whatever.

This government is bankrupt.Help. Stella

I agree with everything you said, Stella. I've thought the same thing. I still don't understand why we are still supporting people from the Katrina hurricane (if we are). At some point they have to be self sufficient or go to a family member. Thank you for putting this into words.

I'm not really sure why we lost power...... that seems to be a way of life with Florida Light & Power!! Power surges regularly.... grrrrr! I saw a fire truck down the road then whammo.....no power.... maybe an electrical fire somewhere....no one ever tells. How does one go about getting involved with the RedCross to make those trips? I have no money to hand out but I do have ME.....I can spare me, fer shure. Let me tell you that sometimes those lil debbil horns are not so little!! I have plenty enough hair to twist around them but that just skeers people even more......Look at that crazy lady with her hair wrapped around her horns; who's she trying to kid!!! paulette in sw fla usa..... will keep all in my prayers..... and bless them for their good works...yip....

A man and his teenage son decided to take a swim and were found EIGHT MILES OUT.... thankfully, alive. They were only several feet off shore when the tide caught them - then it was bye bye momma, see ya in about TEN HOURS!

Yep...that little black eye I'm sportin' is thanks to a mosquito bite in just the right place....I was reading in bed when one of hubby's 'pets' he let in the house began buzzing around my head and I kept trying to shoo it away from my temple...When I went to the bathroom later I thought there was a dirt smear by the outer edge of my right eye..Rubbing it , etc. didn't make it go away, but DID make it hurt. I put Neo-sporin on it and forgot about it...Next time I looked in the mirror blood had run under the skin and I had a 'black eye !'

Hubby called upon his 'vast' store of home remedy knowledge and advised a grated potato poultice...[wrapped up grated raw Irish potato on a square of gauze. ] I held it on my eye till I go tired of it and I think it helped some...Hubby said it looked a lot better, but then he would, wouldn't he ? It was HIS home remedy ! It's no worse today and makes a darn good conversation piece...after all, how many people do you know who ever got a black eye from a mosquito ?

I bought quite a few things with my green stamps. I didn't collect the other kind as much but several places we shopped at gave out the green stamps. There was a distribution center that I went to to redeem my stamps. Seems like there was a small catalog we could look at also. Several things I bought were my kids stroller, a Cosco step stool, milk glass creamer and sugar with a tray. I'm racking my brain to think of the other things and can't remember what else. I'm sure some toys, maybe some more things for the kitchen. I was sorry to see them stopped.
