[quote:Anonymous Coward 1502214:MV8xNjA2Njc1XzI2NTgwMjk4XzJCRDVEMjI1] [quote:^Watcher^:MV8xNjA2Njc1XzI2NTgwMDEyXzVENjU1RA==] [quote:Drendwire:MV8xNjA2Njc1XzI2NTc4MzE3XzM1OTU5MEI1] In all due respect Trin you are being to harsh. Watcher and her husband have people that are willing to protect them. As do you in Fact. For some you are either IN, or OUT, Watcher and her family is are IN. As are You , you don't seem to realize that. Sure our only communication seems to be on GLP. You need help? Let us know. I got family all up and down the East coat and beyond. We are not all inbred. [/quote] ^What he said^ I actually discussed this with my neighbors and they were more than happy to participate. Furthermore, if we had weekend evacuee guests, I was making plans to send the children away for the weekend so they would not be a factor. Furthermore, and if you must know...We have a vacant home on our property and a barn (if they do not have a tent) that I was going to put people up in. No one would be staying under the same roof with us! I am no idiot! Just someone trying to offer help so no one here would have to go to the "Superdome", follow?! If the government is this nation's ONLY source of help in a disaster, then we are all dead anyway! The way I see it, everyone who thought this was a GOOD idea and had kind words to say are people that see the good in others and can be trusted because of the good within themselves. Those of you who think helping strangers in need is a BAD idea because they are only there to harm you are exactly the type of people who would not be welcome and would be turned away at the gate because they see the badness within themselves and expect that same behavior/badness from others. If you get nothing else from this thread, I want you out there to know that kindness still exists. Not that you would know it to look at the mods of this website, but we do exist! [color=darkred]You [/color]possess the potential to help others...[color=red]YOU[/color] possess the ability to determine what is and what is not in your best interest...[color=red]YOU[/color] can change this world for the better and not give up to the evils in this world just because everyone tells you the world is evil and are resolved to do nothing about it! WE ARE NOT GIVING THIS WORLD OVER TO THE DARKNESS YET! Not while the LIGHT is still here and we can aid others on their journey. The darkness will have their time soon...BUT NOT YET!!! And the offer still stands! [/quote] You are a good person. Reminds me of the little family owned ski and trail lodges people run on there own property out in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Kind helpful people that do not live their life in fear. I remember about 10 years ago me and my friend were staying at a cabin up in northern NH. We got his truck stuck mudding way out in no-mans land. we walked about 10 miles out of the woods, then another 15 miles to the closest commercial area. We talked to the only guy there about a wrecker to get my friends truck out. He offered to help us out after he got out of work. He drove us 25 miles to his house picked up his truck and we all drove 25 miles back then all the rest of the way out into the woods to get the truck. He wouldn't even accept gas money from us. That's the type of person I am as well, I would have done the same in his shoes. Dieing breed. Rapidly. [/quote]

I promise I won't make you milk a cow!
But seriously, my home is available for anyone too broke to pay for a hotel stay or anyone who just wants to ride out the storm with fellow GLPers. Let me know if anyone is interested! We are just North of Asheville. Plenty of room!
