as passionate as i have gotten on certain subjects and really opposed some
things i was against...........there isn't a person in our extended GSD
family i wouldn't come to their aid. In times like these everything else is
forgotten........I was in fear twice of losing my home and everything last
year in the two hurricanes we had,,,,,,and when i was finally able to hook
up to the generator and get online.........i felt so good to know people
actually gave a darn. It comforted me in the misery of what we were going
through.........I hope others will feel that same comfort when this is all
said and done. If anyone needs any advice on things to stock up on to make
life easier let me know...............although i think the time is down to
the last hours and i am seriously hoping anyone in the path has evacuated.
