Can you guys help me help poor Hurricane Katrina victims?
« on: October 26, 2005, 02:00:23 PM »
Dear SOHC-4 Friends,
                                                                                              
There are times when we all wish we could do some good for our fellow human beings. This is one of those form letters as I really don't know which way to turn so I am asking everyone to support me.

As I am getting older I am becoming more aware of the virtues associated with lending a helping hand. When I do, I feel better about myself, my family situation, and the world around me,  and I would like you to share in that happiness.

I am asking for your support in my latest endeavor

Last night I watched a documentary that brought me to tears.  I decided that there is no better time to make a difference than right now. Therefore, I have applied to  adopt a set of twins that have been orphaned due to Hurricane Katrina.

I need your financial support to get these twins from Mississippi.

I know it is in poor taste to ask for money from friends and family, but I feel this is one of those special occasions that make it OK to reach out for help. Just send whatever you can.... Anything would be appreciated. You must know -- the twins will be thankful !!

Thank you for your support.... And please don't try to talk me out of this.. "I am totally dedicated to this endeavor."

Thanks in Advance..
PS: A  recent photo of the twins will be found below  which was taken as they sat in the receding flood waters.
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hey Terry, hate to tell you, but you are being scammed.  Those same twins were telling everybody they were from Kosovo a couple of years ago.  I hate it when people's better nature is taken advantage of.

I guess if one's vision is really, really bad, you might have to resort to feeling one's way around.  ;D

These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

Terry, are you planning a much ballyhooed trip to the Big Easy where you will have photo ops with the orphans?  I mean, is your heart in the right place, or are you just trying to keep up with Angelina and Madonna?

I find that Photo shocking.  I demand any additional photos of those fallen women sent to me so that I can lock them away from the public view!!!!!!!   ::)
