GRRRRRRRRR. Was looking on one website where it gives people info as to what to look out for after the hurricane and one was scamsters collecting money, builders taking money up front to rebuild and then legging it etc etc etc. Bl**dy awful. I would love 2 minutes with some of these people with something out of the Armoury!!!![B)]

I wouldn't need the armoury - My anger would be enough to fuel my fists I think! Maybe my thinking is naive but I just really don't understand how people can take advantage of others misfortunes. I remember when my hubby was out of work, and he advertised for private jobs (he's an electrician) He got a call from a fella who had problems with his cooker switch, and some sockets. He was gone for most of the day. When he finally arrived home, I eagerly asked how much he had got (we had 2 of our 3 kids then, and they needed shoes, but we had no money!!!) He looked embarassed, and said, well, I only charged him a tenner. The new socket cost a fiver of that!! When I asked why, he said, well, he was old, and a pensioner, and didn't want to ask any more.......... Needless to say I couldn't wait for him to get back on a contract job!!!

Linda,
That was an act of kindness, which there are a lot of in situations like this!
I have no idea what makes these bad asses tick. Maybe it is because we are decent people we cannot even get our heads around making money or stealing from these people, they have had enough heartbreak!!!!

Besides the earthquakes I experienced in Italy I was never frightened so much in my life but also at the same time is awe!! Left our home and stayed at a hotel as there structures are stronger then homes especially if you stay in the inside area facing the pool..when the hurricane passed thru and we were in the eye it was completely silent and still..but then the back end started and all hell broke out again. Very sad to see all kissimmee shattered but the clean up has already started and I know it will take awhile but things should be back to normal in a few weeks. I just thank god it wasnt as bad and everyone seems to be ok in this area.
