ChiKat, the dates of collection vary by person/group. Best thing is to look at the list (I'm thinking about sending the money I was going to spend on shipping to the Red Cross instead, and dropping the items off at the Downers Grove address either today or tomorrow).
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Teppy, fwiw, the Ursuline convent is on the far side of the Quarter near the river. There was no flooding down there and the Quarter was one of the safest places to be since the cops set up headquarters there.
Sr. Jerome told me that the convent had about 6 feet of water, actually. But the convent is 3 stories (or more?), so the nuns just stayed on the top floors.

We've got boxes set up in our breakroom now to collect items to send down. It's nice to have an opportunity to do something that feels more tangible.

I think Pierce Brosnan is hot. I mostly got the Luka love after he pounded that mugger in the pavement...the fencing was cool, too. Not sure about him as Bond, but I would go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's some hot PTSD right there. I have the vigilante love.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
ChiKat, the dates of collection vary by person/group.

Wrod, ita. Mostly, I think it's the juxtaposition of the tender healer with the vigilante and...suddenly my response to Emma Zoole coffin sex isn't quite so novel, huh? I was a freak pre- H:LOTS, and pre- S/B. I did not know this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They should have a permissible naptime at work.
I used to work at a place with a nap room. Until they turned it into more cubes.
All these cable channels are like CRACK. I'm finally seeing 13 Going On 30! And I have Harold and Kumar waiting on the DVR!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A lucky business in Jefferson Parish:
***********
Perhaps the luckiest business owners were the Radas, whose snowball stand, Big Will's Snowballs, survived not only Katrina's winds and waters, but also managed to keep its electricity.
Inside the Williams Boulevard stand, Tim Rada described how he's been filling coolers and bottles with tap water from St. Charles Parish that he says is safe and then freezing it to help make about 1,000 snowballs the business sold since reopening four days earlier.
"People come to the window, and they're so amazed to find us open, they can't even speak at first," said his wife, LaDean. "Then they're like, 'Give us anything.'"
