Because they do NEED it! You don't know how much money they have, can you not read? THEY CANNOT GET TO THEIR MONEY, christ. ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR BENIFIT, THEY CAN ONLY GET $$ VIA WESTERN UNION. Banks are under water and are running out of money. Not everyone keeps that kind of money in their homes. Have some fucking compassion and read before you open your clam trap!!

Your ignorance is astounding, and all I can think of to say is that I am glad you aren't family.

For me, family most definitely comes first, and while I am not a blood relative, Osiris & WT are most definitely family to me.

As far as "people with houses are not the right ones for donations" --I know another couple who lives in Mississippi, they have a 6 month old baby. Their house wasn't destroyed, and they have electricity & dial up... however they too have no $, no way of accessing their $, no way of getting food, the stores are all looted, they have no gas & have eyewitnessed people get shot dead for attempting to siphon gas, by the owners of the vehicles. Are you going to say that they too are undeserving? Their chances of starving to death slowly are amazingly high, but they're undeserving of aid simply because their home wasn't destroyed?

You really have no idea of the magnitude of what is going on down there do you??? House or no house, that's not where most of the trouble lays right now.

Osiris & WT have two beautiful baby girls, that need to be fed. I'd rather donate & know that people I care about are getting the money instead of donating to an unknown charity where percentages get taken away & where the money goes to benefit the people who have raped, murdered, vandalized, etc etc.

You really are a shmuck. No one is saying not to donate to others who need. I don't know how long you have been in this business, but it's obviously not long enough to know that this industry helps it's own. They always have and hopefully always will.

Yes, there are people worse off, but these are business associates that most of us have known for years and to see them lose everything and not have money to feed their kids because they can't get to funds and have no way to earn income is something I won't let happen.

They are part of this industry, that makes them family. Our business has so many people trying to bring us down, we need to do for each other. The adult business may be large, but we are actually a very small community that has to look out for each other cause ain't nobody looking out for us.

I would just like to say thank you to everyone that wished us well and/or donated to help us along. It really means a lot to me, and I sincerely appreciate it. Feel good and have a laugh knowing that you made a fat man cry a little.. lol

I am forever in debt to all of you... Thank you again!

It's a madhouse down here and it's getting worse as more and more people come to hammond...

Banks around here are still limiting the amount we can withdraw to 100.00, 90% of stores are not accepting debit/credit cards and the ones that are have a limit as to what you can spend..


There's military posted in the area, choppers fly by every hour or more, mail service isn't running, Cable T.V. isn't working and we JUST now got our internet connection back..

So how's everyone else doing?

It's one of the simple pleasures in life. :winkwink:

PULL THE MONEY OUT OF PAYPAL NOW, they have already closed 4 accounts that i know of that were collecting funds for Katrina and pocketed over 500K from people

bump :disgust

that sucks. people will try and scam off anything.

so i guess the button on their mainpage to donate to the relief effort is a part of their BIG scheme to dupe people.

jesus fuckin christ

If banks are rationing money, how on Earth will they cash a check from WU? I am suret hey will not have that kind of cash on hand... just a thought

50........

The WU in our area is at Winn-Dixie and we cash it there once we get it. They aren't cashing any other checks though except for their employees.


We have to get in touch with Red and make sure she gets that money out.. That would suck.

damn thats sad, i wish the best for both of them

Osiris - if it gets really bad Im only 1 1/2 hrs away and an old girlfriend is the manager of a bank here - she'll take care of getting checks cashed if ya need it - also can provide anything you need up here - just icq or email if ya need anything at all - most services here are up and running and weve finally got out power stable.

Things looking better for those from the area ?
