Just heard that has been put on hold for now, on the news. The people do not want to leave to go so far away from their homes (or what was their home).

Cleveland is, for sure.
Not sure about any other cities in Ohio. Haven't heard.

evacuees
Where the hell is your compassion for people who could not control what happend???? Not ALL of them are guilty of the crimes we see on TV - you dont have to take them into your home - but if it was YOU - wouldnt you want some place to go???? You need some sensitivity counseling.

Cleveland
was making $15.88/hour before MadQuist took over our hospital. excellent health benefits, 401K so-so.

Need help from Cleveland residents
I'm planning an overnight trip to the Cleveland Zoo with my 6-year-old daughter. We'll go to the zoo on Tuesday because I'm told Monday is way too crowded, but what can we do Monday and where should we stay? Someone from the zoo suggested the Lake Erie Science Center, the Natural history museum, the Science Center (different from the Lake Erie Science Center???), or the Botanical Gardens. A fun hotel would be nice too. Thanks a bunch.

The Cleveland Zoo is a great zoo...sm
We visit several times a year. I am sorry I cant help with hotels to stay at, as we live about 1 1/2 hours away so we just drive home! I definitely suggest Lake Erie Science Center too. Or you might want to look into one of the waterpark hotels in Cleveland. They are awsome too. It is an indoor waterpark with a hotel in it. And the drive to the zoo the next day wouldnt be all that far. I have 3 girls ages 4, 7 and 10 and they love the zoo and rainforest and the science center and indoor waterpark. Hope this was some help. Have fun and enjoy the day!

Is your state taking any evacuees?

Or are they all here in Texas? I've heard people who are volunteering at the Astrodome say that they throw trash on the floor, drop food, etc.etc. and expect the volunteers (I guess) to pick it up for them. If your state isn't taking any in, why not?

Albuquerque NM has had evacuees since last weekend

We are even getting some in our small town of Ruidoso. I can't believe the negative postings I'm reading on this board regarding these unfortunate people. I'm really surprised.

Cleveland Clinic was advertising for MTs for their Fla

the Ohio (main) clinic was at one time being transcribed by "that" other company but don't know if they do it any more.

I'm with you - a face transplant is very interesting!

Look up their clinic in Florida (extension) and see if they are still hiring. Let us know. :))

Does any one know who has the Cleveland Clinic Transcription Contract? sm

I saw where they did a face transplant today. I would love to transcribe that operative report! Anyone know who has their transcription contract? I want to work for them - I think, depending on who it is.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi - my DD goes to college in Cleveland, SIL/family are in Gainesvile :)

and so it appears( x 3) the prestigious Cleveland Clinic does too.

There was a report out of Dallas how a family took in evacuees and the daughter was raped by one of

My DH thought football shoud be postponed and all stadiums opened for evacuees.

yes, the "Live Free or Die" state is taking evacuees. They're going to Pease (nm)

I live in a small rural area and they housed some evacuees at a nearby military base
crime went UP in our little community that previously HAD a ~very low~ crime rate. It is a FACT. I'm not saying all NO residents are like that, but MANY seem to be.

My mom was raised in conditions like this poster describes. Mom's parents died when she was 7 (father) and 9 (mother). Her teenage sister (newlywed) raised her and 4 other siblings. They had next to nothing. Not ONE of them turned to a life of crime. Not ONE even graduated high school but they still made good lives for themselves. Life was rough for them, but they didn't blame it on everyone else and cry around about what the president should be doing for them. It is all about RESPONSIBILITY and taking what life throws your way. IMO.

There is a church in Gonzales that is a small church but housing evacuees.

Helping a small church could be the best way to help someone.

Their web page says they need everything from personal items to clothing and bedding to food and water, don't forget first aid supplies. They said you could send money but there's nothing there to buy anyway.

The address is:

Gonzales Church of Christ

1225 South Purpura

Gonzales, LA 70737

Bigger churches have more people, it's the small churches that need outside help and don't qualify for Red Cross or anyone else to help but people like us.
