7. And not a fucking peep on the snooze. |

I am sorry for these poor people. Thanks for the pic link. Do you know if all the assistance has been sent elsewhere for someone to hog up that doesn't need it like NOLA?

They are in my prayers - could you list again the groups that are helping, I'd like to donate - I know what they are going through.
and it may not be PC to say it, but they are in my prayers.
