I call her that because shes a friend, as well as the mother of my friend, and given who she is, and her ability to thrive amongst adversity indicates her lack of communication this far into it indicates shes no longer with us. Shes a louisianna redneck girl. You mistake a friendly jib for a slight. Get that straight. A friend is likely dead, thats how i cope. Texas, above all our natural disasters in my lifetime has actually reinvigorated my faith in our fellow man. That makes the level of garbage that these shitboxes ripping people off all the more worse... Ive been refreshing my friends facebook timeline over an over, hoping for a positive update i know isnt coming, to a degree its a stalker level, shouldnt have let that bleed over to afmug. It did, and i apologize, my last little outburst cost us ken, among others. ANYHOW.... texas, thats some fucked up shit.
