[Melpomene]

THANK YOU. I'm in Baton Rouge right now, watching everything I own float away. My 85 year old aunt lost the house she's lived in since she was four years old, as well as family heirlooms that go back a hundred years or more. We will conceivably have nothing left, and will probably get pennies on the dollar from insurance. I've logged on to FR three or four times since Sunday, hoping to find some sort of solace in the reasonable posts usually made here, but haven't been able to read for more than about 15 minutes because I get so agitated.

Anyway, thank you, toomanygrasshoppers and all those with kind thoughts for us. I'm glad to know there are still some people around here that have a little humanity. To all of you others, STUFF IT. Think about what it's like to lose everything from wedding pictures to family silver to a change of clothes before making your smarmy comments.

Oh, and all you Nagin haters are clueless.
