EXCUSE ME, HOLLYWOOD!!!

I just heard that the Emmy show is going to honor the survivors of Katrina and use the Louisiana state flower in their tribute. Okay, what are they going to use from Mississippi and Alabama?

A MEMORABLE DAY!

Yesterday, I was watching clips of both Ellen DeGenneres (sp?) and Richard Simmons as they dealt with the loss of their family's homes, etc. I've never been much of a fan of either of them but I was impressed at how well they handled themselves during what was obviously a very painful time. Both of... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Old Ladies and Shotguns

In the midst of all of the horror and devastation, something funny did happen in the midst of Katrina's aftermath. My sister sent me an article about these two older ladies who decided to ride out the storm in the house of one of the women. Now, picture two elderly ladies moving furniture up the...

SO YOU WANT TO KNOW MY STORY?

A couple of you asked what happened to me that makes me able to relate to the survivors of Katrina who've lost their homes. Well, a few years ago my father lost a multi-million dollar business due to several factors. In the process, I got caught up in his debt and then later lost my business. Due to...

MEMORIES CONTINUE TO FLOOD MY MIND...

I can't begin to tell you how much it has meant to me to be able to relive all of these precious times with you guys. When I was riding the bus back from visiting my cats (nine of my cats are in a kennel until I find another place to live so I can have them back), I began to think of other memories...

BACK TO THE MEMORIES...

Before I go back to memories from childhood, I wanted to let everyone know about something re: Katrina survivors. I found out from a friend that people are being forced to leave their animals behind abandoned in New Orleans. If anyone knows of someone who is down in that area or close enough that...

FOR THOSE WANTING TO HELP!

Many of you have asked what you can do to help the victims of Katrina. My sister has a direct pipeline into ways to do that because she owns a PR business in Dallas and has many contacts out there. There is an organization that is asking people in the nearby areas of Houston and Dallas to open their... Sign in to see full entry.

ON A SERIOUS NOTE...

Hi, Everyone! I need to address all of these accusations blaming Mr. Bush in regard to the relief efforts. I realize that people are hurting in the south right now because my family is part of that. However, please keep in mind that this nation has never faced this sort of destruction before and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Update #2

Hi, Everyone! I'm so grateful for the wonderful response to me just yapping about my family and the crisis they're in and how it's affected me. Last night after telling you guys about my Aunt Archie, I found a web site about Pascagoula that had pictures of the Old Spanish Fort where she used to... Sign in to see full entry.
