Besides blogging, or complaining about Bush, or pointing out who did what where and how, what are YOU DOING TO HELP the folks of america that have been displaced by hurricane Katrina?

I went in my closet and sorted out jeans, shorts, shirts, sweaters, coats and shoes to donate.  I did the same with my kids' closets...some friends of ours are taking a bus loaded with all kind of stuff down to Mississippi and Alabama next week.

I also volunteered to donate appliances, dishes, bed linens and furniture to displaced people who relocate to St Louis.

and to HSUS Link

Not much else I can do right now, but at least I did that.

We gave a monetary donation and now that NY is organizing the "NYS people who have rooms for people that don't" program, we will probably give money and clotes to those poeple supplying room.

All we have is a basement, good for short term, but not long. We are left with money, goods and whatever services they need.

I followed the links Dabe and LW posted, and it made me cry. All those poor dogs and cats, left behind....wondering where their humans went and how come they didn't get to go too. Then i saw pictures of some rescued dogs getting a boat ride and a bath and it made me feel better than someone was caring about them.

I'm sitting here with Henry on my lap, letting him know how much he's loved and wanted. it just seemed like the right thing to do after seeing all those poor critters....

if it made you feel better about yourself to leave such a crass remark, I guess thats all that matters


It did.

If I was helping, I wouldn't get on the computer and tell everyone "Hey, look at me; I'm helping!" I would...um....be helping....which I am....oh ---I mean....no I'm not..

now this is some real serious twisted logic, If someone is on the computer no matter what they have done it's not really helping because you said so?

seldom do I shoot at a lady {cept dabe} heh. but

bang bang!!

That was uncalled for, I see no one 'bragging' here. MM asked a legit question, for all the fighting, finger pointing, and other nastiness on JU this past week, how many who have engaged in that are actually doing something to help?

Oh well, if it made you feel better about yourself to leave such a crass remark, I guess thats all that matters.


always gotta be someone pissin on my parade.

that's me taking the shot



that's me feeling pretty special I got shot at at all. You all are so easy to get worked up. Now I know why LW thinks it's so fun.

Triniti, I am happy to post links to places that I think are good for donating towards the Katrina disaster. None of us posted how much we donated. I think that would be inappropriate. But again, and as an example, two people were not aware of HSUS as a site to donate. they are now. That is a very good thing, as far as I am concerned.

(Dabe, see above statement: I just wanted to see how easy it was to get people upset. I don't reckon you know me that well, but I rarely say anything rude, unless it's to LW, but that's beside the point. I apologize for any hurt feelings; just a little social experiment. )
