Dolly, first and foremost THANKYOU for jumping in and going with this thread. All I can say is WOW. Aqua...you too.... And LadyX, thanks for your efforts keeping it bumped....

I've been tied up at work, am sort of "interconnected" with Red Cross and we were working on arrangements to send local volunteers, deploy supplies etc. A great feeling until I came home and finally saw the even more devastation tonight...AND the politics. It just makes me sick!!!! I've decided..."Doing" is better than "watching from afar" (if it's just from the MSM) NO WONDER the sheeple have become cynical. Geesh!

More than glad to add when I can, dutchess, knowing the demands on your time at work and home, Mama_Bear helpng jkphoto and her m-i-l, JustAmy with her hands full with PrissyMissy, and The Mayor finishing up his construction project.

Things in the Gulf region are more dire by the hour, and we haven't any idea what the final toll will be.
Millions are displaced, trying frantically to put their lives on solid ground again, not to mention the number of deaths and injured and illnesses.
Add to that the emotional and mental ramifications for them all.
