We're lit up

Power for our house is finally on, wow, a nice warm shower, working washing machine and dryer, a stove, a computer, and of course the air conditioning. Funny, the weather here is so nice, maybe 70 degrees and no humidity. It's a good thing b/c so many people are without power, still.

FEMA trucks are here, and lots of people are taking advantage of that. Everyone thinks they have something "owed" to them, it's rather sickening how people are behaving. I don't consider a few days w/o power a need for FEMA to pay for my well being. Even if i did stay at a hotel, rather then a friend's house or my own, i would never take that FEMA money. That money is really for those who don't have a choice. Yes, it's for the people who have a tree in the middle of their house, it's the senior who cannot be alone, it's those who have medical problems...it's for those who will not have power or really cannot live in their house for some time. It's not for the middle to upper class who lost some frozen tv dinners. Suddenly, everyone is claiming to have a freezer full of meat.....ummmmmm. I hate dishonesty! There are those who find a way to cheat at everything. Don't' people have morals and values! I hate those who go around the rules or laws. I hate when people lie. Why is it, in this world of so much good, that people cannot be honest, caring, and giving.

So stop your whining and complaining, we are all inconvenienced. We all have some issue with the hurricane. Pick up your head, and move forward and see what you can do to help the next person.
