[quote="caribepr"]...You Mississippi people are weird...
How many times have we heard THAT before!!
In any event, it's gonna be a very strange Christmas around here on the Golden Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Walls and floors are virtually bare, and the mold remediation continues, with little insulation or sheetrock yet replaced. And I'm one of the lucky ones.
For the unlucky, they are among the literally thousands of folks who are still living in tents among the mud, the muck, and the debris. The untold story continues for so many, and for so many, Christmas 2005 may just be another day like every other since August 29. Sad, indeed, but this story will continue well into the new year...
Christmas '06, however, I believe will be a time for celebration. But until then, it's gonna be an extremely long road.

I have no sense of the reality of what it must be like to be iiving as so many are in our country, victims of hurricanes. I only know it makes me ache with frustration. My son is fitting out a school bus he bought to come down there with some others committed to the same, as a mobile *help where needed* group. He should be up and running in a couple more weeks - and vicariously, I feel at least I can help somehow, through him.
I'll have to make sure he keeps the eggnog safe!

That is VERY COOL!! It is because of people like your son that this coast will eventually be rebuilt. So many had no insurance for their damages because their homes and neighborhoods had NEVER in the past been the victim of storm surge. Of course, the insurance companies continue to insist that it was a "flood". In my perspective, it was NOT a flood, but rather a wind event directly attributed to the winds of Hurricane Katrina.
Please thank your son for all of us here on the MS Coast for his willingness to help. His services will be surely appreciated by those who cannot otherwise accomplish repairs on their own - both financially and physically.
