Yet another sinister aspect of the Hurricanes:

She is not exaggerating about how terrible shelters are.  Seriously, I felt safer locked in my car than in the shelter after being targeted by a schizophrenic with a staff that allowed her to get away with it.

One bathroom?  ONE bathroom?  Geez I don’t feel so badly about having one bathroom for fourteen women!!  Mind you, this meant that some women, like yours truly, had to delay their shower for another time when the bathroom was not constantly in use.  I refused to undress and shower in front of strangers — I had enough of being gawked at in public showers during gym class…

But I digress…

So once again I see Red Cross asking for donations to *cough* help the victims of the California fires…and I grow irritated.  Shame on you!  Please, people, think twice before giving to them or really, ANY organization asking for help nowadays.  It’s a free-for-all, with very little of your donations going to those you are trying to help.

It would be better to find someone who knows someone to send money directly and they would make sure that the money is spent on the victims and not on limousines, caviar and wine….okay, I don’t know they are spending it on that, but it ain’t getting to the victims, so you can draw your own conclusions.
