It just so seems that the media always focuses on the sensational.  Not that I don't feel for all displaced persons but those in shelters, it appears to me, are having all their needs met.  What about those who are too proud to ask for help?  Those doing the best they can to help each other?  I simply have not been aware that MS/AL were so hard-hit.  We live in a very poor, rural community in NW Arkansas and I'm sure that there are many people in MS/AL and rural parts of LA that are in desparate need of help and no one seems to be concerned about them. My husband and I would even be willing to go to these areas at our own expense to volunteer but unfortunately, we haven't been "trained" to volunteer so there's nothing we can do until we receive "proper training."  What the heck??  How much training does it take to pass out water and food for the SA or ARC in areas where they don't have ANYONE?

 Maybe, like me, thanks to the media reporting, not many know there are people there hurting.  I hope we can find some small way to  help.  We've tried about every charitable organization and they want cash donations to go into their general funds.  We've already done that.  Now in our small way, we want to help those no one is talking about.

since the presidential election when they had the "This Land Is Your Land" with "Bushed" and Kerry which was way too funny.

I know they're talking about Wal Mart, but it comes down to no choice in towns as small as mine. If it wasn't bad enough for them to come in and close down our Rich's Department Store and our Ames Department Store and practically all of our mile long Main Street, when our local K-Mart decided to hang on, Wal Mart built a "superstore" right behind K-Mart and its adjacent big chain grocery store. At this Wal Mart you can buy your groceries as well.

K-Mart is still hanging on, as well as the small grocery store next door, but I've a feeling it won't be long before they just give up.

I used to shop once in awhile at Wal Mart for the "Lower prices all the time," but I've decided to boycott that place.

Has your pay already been cut by MQ?  I am an IC for MQ and this has not happened to me yet.  Is it a proven fact that this is going to happen or just speculation?

since the beginning of time. It's not just the 'religious fanatics' who have changed. The human race has evolved in their beliefs since Adam and Eve. Christians don't follow the rules of the Old Testament per se, because Jesus fulfilled the laws. There aren't too many religions who still make animal sacrifices. A woman who is having her period is no longer considered unclean. Pork is not considered taboo in the Christian faith, and Catholics aren't limited to eating only fish on Fridays. There were religions who believed in human sacrifice, but I doubt that goes on very much any more.

People have evolved in that we no longer believe the world is flat. We don't believe you are going to get AIDS by touching someone who has it. We no longer believe that a woman who is having her period can't go swimming.

Who believes the same things they believed when they were six? How different are your beliefs than your parents? Not just about religion, but about anything.

There are requirements for insurance if you are FT

There are requirements for certain equipment if SE

I can't seem to get anything in writing from them, the rules are fluid.

What are you all being told?

Because the state she lives in does not recognize legal separation, she had an agreement drawn up by her corporate atty.  This agreement handed the house (quick claim deed) and business over to her, while her "future ex" draws his pension and moved to warmer weather (California).  This all happened when things were friendly. Now she wants a divorce so she can get on with her life (with her new beau she is buying the house with).  BAD idea since she has not filed for a divorce.  Anyway, thanks everyone.  I think I'll be visiting her in jail.
