Flooded Freeper Could Use Help

Freeper in Distress Bump | July 5, 2002 | Sockmonkey

[sockmonkey]

As many of you may already know, Fellow Freeper Texana_RED's home was washed away in the devastating floods that are hitting Texas right now. Some of you may have seen video of a house in Kerrville floating downstream, then hitting a tree, and disintegrating. That was Texana_RED's home. Some of you may have seen an interview showing a woman on televison pointing to her red pickup truck which was lodged in a tree. That was Texana_RED. She literally got out with her pajamas, with 2 of her dogs. She lost the rest of her pets, and all the contents of her house, and workshop.

Some of you may have met Texana marching around the Governor's mansion after the election, or at the Freeper Inaugural Ball.

With Jim Robinson's gracious permission, I am being allowed to bring this Freeper in Distress Call to your attention. If you would like to send a donation to help, please check the Texas Chapter Board, or Freepmail Sockmonkey or Anymouse.

Texas Bump.

I thought you were a good person for this to be pinged to since you know so many South Texas freepers personally. Post #238 is another good idea. Any suggestions are always appreciated.

.... heck, that car even had bench seats. [A lot of FReepers probably don't even know what those are .... LOL!]

I'll be 27 next month and I remember bench seats! My dad had a couple of muscle type cars when we were growing up. I love them and wish they would bring them back! I wish my PT Cruiser had them!

BUT that doesn't mean I will ake anything they offer me. One minute I think Yes, I'll take it; then next minute I am saying NOPE, no handouts from the Feds. So, guess I will just decide when the time comes.

Red, I hope I can push you at least a little in the "Take It" direction. It's YOUR MONEY they'll be offering you. You paid it in - you deserve to be able to take it out. THAT IS NOT WELFARE or anything like it. It's one of the few GOOD things that the federal government does with OUR money, so you damn well better take it.

But I mean it :)

There is one thing I REALLY, REALLY want - MY KAYAK BACK!

Now I'm REALLY upset!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know you were a kayaker!!! Same here. sigh....

They make 'em tough in Texas, that's obvious. So sorry, TexanaRED. Texas Freepers are really pulling together. Add one prayer to your army of prayer warriors.

Thanks for the ping, Bryan.

[Boyd]

Let me know how I can help, aside from thoughts and prayers, [which is a given].

[MinuteGal]

Check will be in the mailbox Monday morning for the lady with the most eye-catching hat at the DC Silverware Ball!

A Freeper house-raising party sounds neat. Could we call it a "House-FRaising"?...(sorry, that's the best I could think of right now, groan!)
