Baloney. We drove right in, and soon got rid of all our stuff. If these people had not been on the fringes of society, they could have been helped days before. We then called a few friends back in SC and THEY came down with vans....at that point even the Red Cross wasn't helping. We didn't do much, but we did something. And we learned never to trust the government when it tells you that you can't relieve suffering!<br />(Rant over).<br /><br />But thank you for reminding me of some of the best and worst days of my life, all crowded into one week! And I am glad your house was (though damaged) still salable. <br /><br />Blessings on you bothToilNotSpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068035092199385199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-22441901030453594542011-08-29T22:30:12.611-04:002011-08-29T22:30:12.611-04:00Thank you for this.
