Meanwhile, I was contacted to work at a special needs shelter because there is dire need for nurses to assist the displaced senior population in Florida. I will volunteer after the storm, after I am able to relocate my mother, after ensuring her home is secure, and while cleaning up and repairing the damage.
Oh--and between putting up the hurricane screens and preparing my house for this deadly storm, I made time to keep these threads updated. Imagine that. I also work full time. As the old saying goes--if you need something done, find the busiest person. They will get it done.
I am appalled at the petty people here who are more obsessed about the Hemingway cats and that Disney may be closed for a week while a substantial number of us are in survival mode working to protect lives and property of our families and community.
Think about it--and then return to your regularly scheduled soap opera programming.
With ya NN. I do worry about the cats, but I’m with ya.
With that voice of reason, I will retire from the scene. Thanks for your awesome service to others.
Best wishes and prayers that this beast goes more westward and spares you and yours.
Will be waiting to hear from you after the storm passes. Try to take care of yourself as well as everyone else. BTW, where are you in Florida?
The upside to this is the jobs that will be around for the clean up and fix up.
Thank You for maintaining the thread. I have been monitoring since Part 1. Love & Prayers for your safety. /IG
I got that call too; got a very frail MIL I'm looking after. I told my co-workers, most who have never experienced a major storm, the aftermath is be dreaded as much as the storm.
The trolls should be temporarily banned.
Bump This!!!!
You go, NN.
These hurricane threads are “known” about.
It’s not petty to be concerned about lives. And small ones that we take responsibility for especially. I trust people to have sense, or to have people who take responsibility for them, to have sense. And there will always be good people outside the event who will worry for those people. So I will worry about the small ones who can’t take care of themselves. And I will always contribute to animal shelters during these horrible events. May every Hemmingway cat have a caring person who scoops it up and acts as its angel.
