Meh.  You think it's the delivery?  I'm thinking the follow-up was the problem.  Leprosy's a tough ground for cracking wise.
@Sanguine

I'll give it a try. What have I got to lose?


I gave a hand to the relief effort.

Maybe I should have you guys screen me. I don't want to strain myself.

Leprosy and all that water? Things could get soupy.

I'll give you one for effort.  I guess you could say you've now got skin in the game.

Oh, no...I hope you didn't take that from my post!  I was just commenting on how those little critters can be infected and people just need to use caution.  That's all.  I loved the post!

Sorry, y'all. I might have had high expectations of the purpose of this thread. I was using it as a place of refuge and escape from sad/bad/contentious discussions. If I overreacted, I'm sorry. I was needing a safe place to escape from all that. Forgive me as I'm operating 24/7 with tears at the ready for all that's happened over the past week. And I didn't even get much damage! So many of my fellow Texans (family, friends, strangers) did.

On the bright side, Dickinson is needing volunteers to help with the rescued animals. I have found my niche! Now I'm just waiting to hear from them to learn how I can help.

It is a place of refuge.  We have a couple on TBR, The Lounge is another.

@AllThatJazzZ I've never seen an armadillo and I liked your post. Right now you need to take care of you, and your family. And your critters. We love you here no matter what thread you are on.

Bless you for helping with the rescued animals. Keep me posted either here or PM pleasw. You know I like critters more than most people and I don't have Facebook

Take care my friend, G-d bless.

For @AllThatJazzZ

Ahhhh.... See that's what I need. Cute, cuddly, funny -- anything that helps me escape this mean ol' world if only for a few minutes. Kittens are irresistibly cute. The only thing cuter are poodle puppies (says the crazy poodle lady).

P.S. to @Freya I'm not on Facebook either. It appears to be for public consumption because I was able to access it last night and view the video. That's how I knew what their need was and that it was a good fit for me.

@AllThatJazzZ, I'm so sorry if I contributed to that.  It is a tough time, and some of us (me?) tend to tease and get a bit irreverent when things are tense.  No disrespect intended at all.

I donate regularly to Best Friends which is supposed to be onsite. Then many animals may be coming to shelters near San Antonio. Will research.

Which rules out PETA and Humane Society of the United States.  Two outfits that don't help very much.  Stay away from PETA, they don't believe in keeping pets and kill every one they can get their hands on (even if they have to steal one from your porch), and HSUS doesn't spend much of its money on shelters, it's a political action group that lobbies for a living.

I like our AZ Humane Society quite a bit, they have a no-kill shelter.

I agree with your assessment of PETA and HSUS. I used to give to them but no longer. I sent something to Best Friends to the link on the front page. They state that every bit of the donation will go to help Hurricane Harvey critters.
