Default Re: I'm a heartless bastard I know....

In fairness, the recipients of the intended donations didn't start the thread...as it is stated, that is. Someone else did.

However, if this person has a history of "collecting," it does raise questions.

I'll let everybody else tangle with the other issues that can be raised.

I'm used to California disastors where there is little or no advance warning. Living in a state of readiness is still highly suggested. Even for earthquakes, which just show up, no warning whatsoever, it is strongly suggested that every family have a metal trash can with a tight lid that contains sufficient water, food, medication, pet supplies, blankets, first aid kit, etc., etc., to last for all family members for three days. (And no, I don't have one. It's been on my "mean to" list for 17 years. In my small defense, I live on top of a hill in East San Diego county, and our earthquakes are more of the "huh, we just had an earthquake...." category.)

Our other big one is fire. Keep the "irreplaceables" in one place; have enough pet carriers, and get the hell out when it's first suggested. We were more than ready for that during the "Fire Storm" of a couple of years ago. With cash, as my husband hit the ATM the minute we could smell the smoke.
