Thanks:) Conservatism,or more specifically,self-reliance,is alive and well in my area. FEMA distribution centers that opened yesterday in the Biloxi/Gulfport areas reported lines of like 50-100 people,LOL. Of course,the Red Cross lines will be MUCH longer-but they're giving cash,from what I hear. I won't be in the line-my home and family are fine,my yard looks better now than it did even before Katrina,LOL(extended family sure comes in handy!),and we're making it just fine,now that the power's been back on.That's all I cared about for myself-AC,computer access,and being able to flush again!
Glad you and your's weathered it out so well. =]
We are fortunate so far where we live, too, thank God. FRegards....
