SueShore,
Guess we don't get a civil reply, huh? I'm thankful that there are others like myself, that were shocked and saddened, at the lack of compassion and humanity
! This is a good time to use the phrase, which I'd always used when my kids were growing up and in difficult situations, with others. "FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO"! Somehow it's harder to swallow, when it's an adult with all of the comforts!

Thank you Diane...I try and subscribe to your wise words daily, although it can be hard. I truly hope to hear back from AB....although it seems he has posted and completely missed all the points brought up and the pleas for him to apologize. What a shame to lose such a valued member of this board.
Farse? Even if that is true, such a horrible "trick" to play at this time.

OK, another day, another return to God's Country (Mississippi) from what used to be a nice state of bliss called Alabama, this time dragging the camper, and the last trip Thank God.
Now that things are settled down, I finally had a chance to read the thread (wow!) and I guess its time for a few clarifications and that long-awaited chance to respond (didn't whomever notice that I was gone to get the thing and couldn't respond - Jeez!):
1) My 'vacation home' is a camper. Super nice, cheap land you rent not buy incase something goes horribly wrong (experience), utilities are included and it's on wheels if Earl from Gulf Trace or the Hell's Angels move in next door (experience with the latter). I even get to use FHA and deduct the interest since it is my 'vacation home'.
2) My 'vacation home' is now set up in a really nice Mizippi State Park where there are a lot of refugees living in all sorts of campers, not just the standardized white fema ones from Dutchmen, which, by Alabama Law, they have to occupy.
3) One of the said 'refugee' families is now living rent free in MY camper, something I could not do, by Alabama Law.
4) The said familiy of four (good ole white trash ma and pa and two screaming drooling brats - guess the toxic waste got to them) has nothing, just as we didn't have anything when my family moved north after Ivan. We didn't even try to get on food stamps or any programs, we just remade our lives as the family in my 'vacation home' is doing. The parents are alternating taking care of their young chidlren while each looks for work. They have no criminal record. (D*** right, I checked! And made them sign all docs, everything from anti-tort to the dreaded 'cops come just once and you're out' before turning them loose into my fully-insured baby!)
5) The Gov of Alabama is CHARGING FULL RENT for each of the camper spaces in the Alabama State Park System, along with demanding sewer upgrades, from fema. Mizippi dosen't charge anything of anybody and generously opened it doors and said come on in.
6) The Gov of Alabama gave Federal Employees the authority to come into Public Land in a State Facility and evict (including the cutting off of locks) everyone, including senior citizens (discounted rate) who had their 'primary home' there, so they could replace them with full-price 'refugees' and get an added bonus of completing the sewer hookups to all the campsites, something the state of alabama would not spend the money for themselves. The Alabama State Park System was nearly broke but now has a sizeable cash reserve.
7) I called the Gov of Alabama a 'ssseigelman' but he's really a 'rrriley' - shows how much I pay attention to poloitics. He dosen't sign my checks so I really don't care. He just takes my taxes and buys stuff that get's him investigated (and one of his predecessors removed from office for the same thing). Where's Big Jim Folsom when you need him? Uncontrollable greed holds the reins in Montgomery. BTW, there's no gambling in Alabama, except in Wetumpka, right above Montgomery, where Harrah's is opening in 2006! See their web page for more details if you don't believe me.
OK, enough trashing Alabama seeing as their government is doing it just fine on their own.
In response:
TRASH - yes, Virginia, some folks out there, of any color, are indeed 'trash'. I come from a long line of white trash (at least I was called that repeatedly). Just cause I had a car up on blocks in the yard and still have stacks of potentially useful but corroded items we brought with us when we were refugees from Ivan. I'll have you know that the car on blocks was an Opal GT and I was working on landfilling the huge crevice in the back yard, I just had to fill it up first with junk, that's all. All that's gone now anyway as my parents are long gone and my siblings have scattered and I have officially moved to Mizippi.
Why do you have an empty camper sitting in a State Park to begin with? - Best 'vacation home' there is - a really nice 30' camper, not too big to tow, with 3 full bed rooms and the slide out den/sitting room. Fully insure it, find a nice safe state park, hook it up and go every weekend. Bigger than a cabin and it can move if bad things come that way. Some friends had an even bigger one in Destin at what used to be the Holiday Inn Trav-L-Park. Right on the beach - they even had a deck. They used to move it to Dothan for the hurricanes. Wonder where they are now.
I live about 20 miles from the State Park that was mentioned..I was thinking "this is a wonderful thing they are doing"!!!!!! - just keep your eyes open and your doors locked - should be doing that anyway since the last days approach quickly. Yesterday (Thank God that's the last time I have to go back there!) they were putting a fence around the camping area WITH RAZOR WIRE! I wondered if the razor wire was going to be to the inside (to keep the inmates, I'm sorry, refugees, in) or the outside (to keep the deer sfafely on the outside).
"There goes the neighborhood?" - it used to be a really nice place, people came from all over. A big draw in winter was the bald eagles - it was not uncommon to see folks from Ontario to California staying there for extended periods. Even the old fart that was 'going to make a stand' was gone yesterday.
I hope your family never suffers as these people have!!!! - we did, dear - it was called Ivan. We had a nice non-wheeled 'vacation home' on lagoon drive in PCB and there was nothing just left, not even the little stobs sticking out of the ground. Nothing but dirty sand. We were behind Hamilton's resturant and Captain Andersons and so many morfe that I could mention. We took the payoff and bought something that could move.
OOps - gotta go to work right now.
