Glad you are safe and sound, I am glad to live up in Sweden since we dont get hurricanes here. And yes its terrible whats happening in New orleans

Thanks. =)
Lucky you not having to deal with these things. Maybe some day I'll get to visit Sweden.

the only thing we get is thunderstorms

airame September 7 2005, 05:20:28 UTC

This baby was the mother of all thunderstorms. =P

Actually, I don't suppose that's true. I don't remember really hearing any thunder.

Im so glad you are back, and you're ok, and it was such a relief to read the phone post thing one of your friends posted, please tell her how fantastic of her it was to let us know that you were ok.

I'm just in shock about what is happening, I cant believe it, everytime I erad something or hear something it seems to just get worse...the things that we are hearing about over here are just..I can't understand it. Why would some people prey on the victims of such a tragedy? Why would people take advantage of others who have lost everything...houses, jobs, family? I dont understand it, and I dont think I ever will. I just thank God that you are ok, and keep praying for everyone else.

Let me know if you need anything, or if I can help in anyway. If I could physically come over there and help with the relief, I would. I still might.

I've already told her that it was a successful post, but I'll pass on your note of fantasticness. ^_ ( ... )

That is so unreal.
I thought of you when I saw it was heading for your state.
I'm glad you're okay

airame September 7 2005, 04:58:30 UTC

Unreal is pretty accurate. I went to pick up more ice today. It still feels strange to need it. It's going to be so weird to start back to work and school again.

Thank you for your thoughts. It's such a relief to be back on here. But I can't help just almost feeling guilty for having this when so many others don't even have running water.

But then I know I've done nothing to feel guilty about.

Thank you again for thinking of me.

If you need to get away for a little bit, you're welcome to stay with me for a few days, if you can get to NY!

airame September 7 2005, 05:03:55 UTC

I would truly love to come stay with you for a few days. But I'm due to start back to work on Thursday, and classes start back again next week, so I doubt I'll be going further north than Jackson for awhile. I also doubt I'd be able to afford the gas or plane ticket to get up there. =P

But maybe someday I'll take you up on a raincheck for that visit. I'd love to see New York and visit you. ^_^
