... healthy seniors are still waiting for those forever homes that they have been rejected for over and over again. These old eyes have seen all the young ones come and go. They have weathered Hurricane Katrina and Wilma, recovered from mange and seen their friends pass over the Rainbow Bridge. But they haven't thrown in the towel yet. They are still waiting for that one home where they can feel ...

The credit card posts I just read reminded me of something I meant to post. About a month ago I reserved the space walk for Zeke's party. When I was doing this (over the phone) I tried to use my Discover card but the guy said the redit card company was saying the address I gave was not the correct one.

BITCH IT OUT: Dysfunctional Family

...It was WAY, WAY, WAY more messed up than that. We picked up most of the glass shards and blood when I took pics. Not to mention lamps, (my)books, and the window curtains and shit. It looked like post-Katrina at first. He broke that front room mirror on his way out the door(oh look, it's my laptop on the right of the pic!) That's right outside my "room". Yes, that's a hole in the wall, ...

... would kill for a job and I see people just slacking off all damn day. -One of the things that makes me feel awesome is when I meet people from New Orleans and I tell them about my dad being down there after Katrina and they all say the same thing "Please tell him I said 'Thank you' It puts a huge smile on my face.
