Hi Guys, I was hit hard from Hurricane Katrina. WE were in the middle of moving to a new home. Our old home was flooded, all the furniture destroyed plus we lost our buyer. The new house took two trees through the roof, so we also had some water damage there. I evacuated with family to Alabama and stayed 2 weeks. Once we had power and a/c at the new house we came back and camped out with blow-up mattresses. Still waiting on insurance adjuster for both houses and furniture. So ....... I'm at the library typing this message to you. I have no way to bring pictures over for Survivor this time. No phone. No cable for television or computer. And, being a new house we do not have priority over the hurricane victims that are trying to get back online, so we've been told probably January. If anybody else wants to do pictures this time....please go ahead. And, please remember us in your prayers. Thanks, Ginger

Oh my goodness Ginger! We were just asking about you in another Survivor thread a few days ago. You were certainly missed!! I'm so sorry to hear of your plight and of course you'll be in my thoughts and prayers as you and your loved ones go forth with getting back to a normal life, normal routine again. We'll miss you but please come back when you can, okay??!!

You don't know how glad I am to see your message! I have tried every day to call your phone number, and of course, it would not go through. Now I know why. I have worried so much about you, and it was driving me crazy not knowing if you were okay. Thank goodness that you are allright, considering all the damage you have. I have prayed for you so much! Please know that we all here were worried sick about you. I am so glad that you found the time to get in touch with us. Thanks so much for letting us know. I am just relieved that you finally got through to let us know that you are okay. We will not forget you, and when you do get settled again (I hope that it won't be too long), let us know, okay? You probably don't have my phone number anymore, but if you do, call me when you are able and I will pass on your message to everyone here. We love you, and are all praying for you. Thank God that you, yourself, are okay!!!! Much love from us!! Trudi

Hi Ginger, Mamie is right. Over at the games thread we've been so worried about you, and Zeno was so dedicated to finding out if you were okay. Thanks for finding a moment to touch base here at TVCH. I found this in YOUR BIO, and I thought it might provide some COMFORT for you, in some way with all your trials and tribulations right now. When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could You please get that for me?" This isn't actually my faith, but I have faith in the faith people have in their faith. {{{GINGER}}} Thank goodness you're okay! Keep in touch, when you can.

Thanks a bunch for thinking of going to the library to come here and let us know you survived. Take care and will be looking forward to your exciting photo analysis on a future Survivor.

Ginger, what a relief to know you are a true Survivor. It must have been pure hxll... distressful and overwhelming. But with your usual spunk, positive attitude and perserverance I know you're fighting your way back to a better tomorrow. I was also concerned about your daughter's family...expecially that beautiful little granddaughter. One day at a time, Queenie, you are in our thoughts and prayers. (...and keep that "song" in your heart.)

Ginger.... just heard you'd been here and it was welcome news finding you're safe and sound. I'm sorry for the tremendous hardship you've suffered at the hands of Katrina. You've shown you're a strong woman by enduring and you'll come back from this even stronger still. Positive thoughts and prayers of support continue for you and yours.

Back at the library today, and see that I was right. I knew you guys would keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Those wondering about Rachael.......she arrived from Korea at age 5 1/2 months, and at age 7 1/2 months had to run from a hurricane to Alabama to her aunt's house, without her new Mommy that had to work 6 days straight (24/7) at the local hospital. But GiGi (that's me) sang to her and comforted her (through her first American cold, to boot) and she did well......and I frankly think that helped me to get through it also. We are starting to get back to normal here, as much as possible, but still have not heard from the insurance adjuster. My latest news is that I had to go to the doctor Wednesday with blood pressure 197/110 and I've never had high blood pressure in my life. I was on sinus meds and the MRE's are full of salt, so now I'm on blood pressure medication, no sinus meds, no MRE's and go back in 2 weeks. I can't imagine that I am stressed out enough to cause my blood pressure to soar like that. I'll pop back in every once in awhile to this thread. Meanwhile, thanks so much for your prayers. Gen asked if there was anything you guys can do.......and that's it. PRAYERS!!! My mother used to say "This too shall pass!" so that's my new motto!!! Love, Ginger

Ginger, seems like your brain is on "normal" but your body is shouting, "what the heck is going on?" If you have a few minutes (that's to laugh) I hope you're keeping some sort of diary or journal to remember all your thoughts, fears, conversations, and events. Do you realize you have witnessed, and lived through the gretest natural disaster in American history. If not for publication than for Rachael. Keep the faith and Be Not Afraid. Love ya.
