Eastside93:
Your contribution dollars are appreciated. But you have already donated $600 -- as I pointed out in two previous posts that were bumped into obscurity -- so you have nothing to feel guilty about. Would that more people would donate a fraction of what you so generously contributed. It takes all of us -- not just you. But thank you on behalf of all those who literally have nothing, overnight.

I'm not taking a timeout from

I'm not taking a timeout from McSame/Failin...but I will multi-task long enough to send some bucks to the Red Cross again. Rec'd.

Thank you for the reminders. I gotta quit reading your posts...I always feel so self-absorbed and guilty afterwards. :-D

Thanks for your help, Slouch.

Thanks for your help, Slouch. A family of four given 12 packaged meals is, in effect, given only enough food for one day! And FEMA is worried that people will stockpile and resell. Outrageous.

Hey folks, I gave this great

Why am I not surprised to see all these names? I'm proud of you all! Rec'd and donated...

Thank you, dear friends, for seeing the Big Picture. It matters.

She won't ask, so I will. Please recommend this so that it can be seen, and because it's actually worthy of the mouse click.

Hey ww, that's a great

Hey ww, that's a great reminder. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day politics of the election and almost impossible to avoid making it be the only thing that we give our energy to. But in the real world, the things that we do for each other, the kindnesses we show those who need it, the effort we make to help those teetering on the edge, are the things that define us, much more than who we vote for or how well we express a sentiment.

Thanks for reminding me that fifty bucks to the Red Cross can help a lot more than 500 words about strategy. Passion can overwhelm compassion sometimes, and thanks for helping to keep the right one a priority.

That would be "law firm" not

That would be "law firm" not "lay firm" except in the sense of Freudian slip. Never mind.
The point is that hurricane survivors lose not only their houses, but also their sources of employment. How would you cope? Yes, you, personally, if overnight you had nowhere to live and nowhere to work? PLEASE connect the dots. People's futures depend on your ability to get the Big Picture.

Thank you.
