Because it's always funny when someone sucks on some helium and says "Hello"

giving blood

Literally.

I put the signs out last night for the drive, they looked great this morning when I pulled out at 7am. Five pm after a few thunderstorms, they were down.

I went to staple gun it back up after I got home, and the staple gun got my index finger on the fatty side. Muther trucker it hurt. A staple gun through your finger bleeds, a lot. The sign was washed away, but some people must have seen it before it went down and we had a few neighbors come by with clothes.

Larry's Dad is donating his moms old walker, we have been storing it for a while. They need wheelchair's, walkers, all kinds of stuff.

STB went to the food bank today, they had to turn away volunteers. They are filled to the top with food. As STB informed me, it will be dispersed throughout the community as people are placed.

There are an estimated 100,00 people from Louisiana here. There are twenty in Monica's house alone.

There are at least 50-60 people everyday walking into my store. They need Houston numbers so they can get through. They are looking for jobs, or just looking.

Tomorrow & possibly Monday I will be volunteering at the dome, the food bank, the blood center, george r brown, anywhere. Everywhere you look there is a face, a story and a Louisiana license plate. Your heart just breaks every time. If it doesn't, get the hell out of the city!
