What is "home" to you, and why?

cheech:
I guess I'm in it, and trying to get out of it.

I am still at the parents's house, see.

As for home in general, I guess it's a place that feels comfortable. I haven't felt that in a while. Comfort and me are pretty rarely in the same room.

Since there is a lot of stuff going on in real life that needs my attention, I have canceled my account. I don't know how much longer it will be up, but feel free to email me @ edvf1000r@aol.com to get more contact info.

This has nothing to do with the recent drama, BTW - I just need the time to prepare for my move,...

I hope you all never see in person what we've seen for the last few days.

We're out of the impact area and heading home.

The final tally: 7,700lbs of supplies distributed to seven towns in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana, and lots of other supplies transported between towns where they were needed and others plentiful.

The destruction in Mississippi in particular is beyond belief or...

Update:

We made it on at least one, possibly three local networks and one radio station, and collected about 4,000 - 5,000 lbs of donations (mostly clothes) in 8 hours on Sunday.

I'm off to purchase some stuff that we didn't get (like gas cans and more basic foods) and pick up a pallet of medical supplies from another donor.

Then, down South I go.

You're a good man, Stiles. I wish I could help you - but honestly I'd probably just get in the way. Best of luck to you - and keep yourself safe while you're there.

I got an email last night from a friend in Texas mentioning weird panic/violence over there (Corpus Christi) reguarding break ins but he said it all seems to be when "no one is around" so truck shift sleeping is fun. biggrin

As the immortal Johnny Cash once said:



"I've been everywhere, man."



Thank you all for the birthday wishes, it was a good one.

I am convinced that certain cars have a personality. Some vehicles actively resent being fixed, like a crabby person who really dosen't want to go to the doctor, but relented because listening to the nagging for one more minute would have been too much. Others are happy to be getting better, and everything goes together smoothly from start to finish. Luck plays into this, manifesting...

Why you gotta talk shit about my Buick right out here in the open? wink

She'll come around. She's always been a bit tempermental. She does show me a lot of love.

Wellll, this week was boring as hell. Last weekend was cool, though. Wyatt, myself, R, H, and their respective girlfriends got together to celebrate H's girlfriend's birthday at Cape Henlopen state park (DE) for a night of beachside camping in the gorgeous pine woods there. A roaring campfire was complemented by a good bottle of Champagne provided by yours truly, capping the evening's stargazing...

I'm in fucking shock that this country put Dubya and his lying, evil crew back in office.

To the rest of the world, I offer the apology of 50 million Americans who realised just how wrong this president is.

He's not *our* president.

The assembly is random, but the events themselves are rather mundane.

Where did you have the opportunity to see rednecks shoot pumpkins out of an air cannon? Man, now I'm all disdainful of Louisiana rednecks. They never do anything that cool.
charley:
That sounds absolutely amazing, I have this thing about doing America by train too, it may actually happen one of these days confused

Wooo!

Everybody go look at Maxi's new set - it's neat-o.

My old shop.

Aaaah, the memories...

A great song for our dipshit president:

As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say it all the time-
"My country wrong or right"
I want to know what that's got to do
With what it...

darn, well that's ok I'm sure someone will buy it, it's not like I'm asking a lot for it. It was worth a try though!
