Know why I'm here?

[trof]

Because it's a relatively Katrina-free zone.
And folks, I've had Katrina, up to the eyeballs.
We came through, just fine, but it was a scary 12 hours.

Our area is the nearest fully functioning county to the east of the Mississippi coast.
We are now a refugee center.
I've worked the last two days at a collection center for food and clothing donations. Got a lot of stories, for later.

Right now, I just want to kick back, fix BIG drink, and socialize for a change.

Thanks, and how the hell is everybody doing?

4. Can't believe your "Checking in from Clearwater" thread.

Jee-Muh-Nee!
That happened to me once.
Posted something totally innocuous and just got JUMPED.
She (not the same person now) started sending me e-mails.
STALKED, I was!
That's why I wiped it from my profile.

If you got my directions to my house, I'll expect you sometime tomorrow.
Seriously, any chance of a side trip?

2. I'm doing fine .

Just wish there was something I could do besides donating money . I went to a baseball game last night and that actually did me a bit of good . And I am not used to have the weekend off from work . This is the FIRST weekend I have had off since July - I don't know how to act .

5. If you don't live close enough to personally deliver

needed items, money is best.
Thank you.

3. Heck, trof

Most of the time, I'm still trying to figure out why the hell I'm here. Good to hear you're safe and sound.

BTW, I had my third heart attack (which was actually scheduled maintenance/needed another stent after six years) ten days ago and am recovering very nicely. So I guess I'm doing good as all hell (but I believe any day I get up for is a pretty good day).

6. Glad to hear it 5GD.

Take it easy and speedy recovery.
