Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I called Chris tonight with a pep talk about getting through Hurricanes. We covered evacuation, hiding in the bathroom with no windows with mattresses over the head in case the roof blows off, Margaritas, floods, holdouts, shotguns, computers, kids, and the usual stuff. In other words, she's doing fine. Hopefully, the storm is going ashore farther to the east than originally expected, and hopefully, she'll have little damage. I told her that even though we went through four horrible near-misses last year, and two so far this year (Katrina and Rita), the noise and uncertainty as it skirts by is unbelievable. You never really recover from the scare, you just hope the next time you are a little more hardened towards the howling wind, crashing, thunder, and lightening. And you hope the toilet doesn't back up into the house! Seriously, we spoke at length about the terrible toll these storms are taking on people, emotionally and physically. No matter what the reason physically -- the new cycle of the earth, global warming -- or politically -- who's in charge, , poor planning, and how did they fail or succeed -- the real focus has to be on the people. Prayers and support are needed in this time of terrible stress and upheaval. Chris realizes she is lucky to have her family, friends and neighbors around her. Pray for all those who are alone, scared, and need your ongoing support in the months and years to come. She has a friend at the house with a Blackberry, so she may be able to check emails and report in. She wanted me to drop you this line about an update, since she's still in the preparation stage of finishing up the last minute stuff at her house. http://naturalperfumery.com The premier site on the Web to discover the beauty of Natural Perfume " The Age of the Foodie is passé.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Anya, >I called Chris tonight with a pep talk >about getting through Hurricanes. Thank You for posting this message. I have been thinking of calling Chris all day but decided against it as I knew that she would be busy. I'm sure that you were a great source of comfort and information for her. I have 2 nephews who live there also with their families, this is totally new to them as they grew up in the desert. Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
