FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by

It was an amazing testament to the organizational skills of man, being able to find, transport and set up cots, food, water and medical care for 25,000 people. In twelve hours.God Bless them!

My 18yo son is at the Dome too. He is a man of few words, this is what he said.
"The crowd in the Dome consisted of very good people. Honest to the point that many refused to fill out the aid forms stating that they have taken care of themselves their entire life and didn't want a handout.
Many of these people literally have nothing and just want a job. Their jobs in NOLA are simply gone and will probably never be back.
Maybe we misjudged some of these people.
Time will tell."
He just got home a bit ago and is leaving at about 0500 hours tomorrow to head back.
My son Rocks too.

As much as I need the sleep, I miss Dix's phone calls at 03:00 because, as he put it, the ChemoBitch would not let him sleep.
To bring Brother Dix back I would get up every day at 03:00.

The people of NO have been truely blessed that they have been sent into loving arms. The good people of Houston will help to heal their souls and get them back up on their feet in no time at all.

Today was day 1 at the reliant Arena. I thought there was going to be a bad element there. Where I could trust no one. The people there were nicer than some people that live here. I was surprised when I saw kids with smiles on there faces just because of the free little teddy bear. When they have nothing else to play with. Most of my job is listening to peoples story's. Which was in some cases was difficult to do. I hope them having someone listening to there story makes there day a little better. The smallest thing could change these people's life's.

I'm skeered now of "themom"...
Like I said before Eaker...You got a good young man there...
