You are right, I am bitter and that is not my nature.
I feel like I have been in a war, fighting alone.
I have been slow paid, denied, lied to, cheated,
looted, ripped off and robbed by Chase Bank.
Then there's Contractor Fraud & theft of building
materials and the Army Corps levee litigation.
I also have a brother who lost his home too.
He broke his neck when he was 17, he's been
paralyzed since. A local Contractor took $80,000
then walked off of the job without even buying a
toilet. I've been working with LA Attorney General
obtaining evidence & providing evidence which is about
to result in the Contractor will do a few years in prison
but we will will not be able to gecoup any of the money.
He does not own anything under his name.

My Father died before Katrina. We were still grief
stricken with his sudden death. He lived his life
helping people, he was a Fireman, Retired Chief NOFD.
He took care of my brother.
How much more can I tolerate before I snap?
Loosing everything from Katrina was nothing
compared to the betrayal thereafter.
I can't be in 3 places and I can't run my business
or think straight.
My plate is full of so many different problems
and I have never sued anyone in my life.
I don't answer the phones when I am still paying
for current ads, running in MS and
LA. I Was just about finished MS Office,
I had he papers to file for a MS license,
then the office & home were destroyed.
Who sells health in MS? I can send the calls to you.
These people are calling me for Health Insurance
but I can only sell LA. Still paying office rent,
expenses,
advertising, House notes, and Ins. too.
You will never understand this feeling
until this happens to you.
Insurance was piece of the nightmare.
I am a funny person and I love to laugh and
live my life.
I am doing everything that I can to keep my
sanity and vent in the right direction because
if I held this in, I would have flipped out already.
Thank you guys for a good argument, it's like
therapy. Sorry if I seem to be ugly.
I was married one time & divorced when my baby
was 1 month. I lost everything that I owned, left
him without a dollar or a job.
My little girl and I ate lots of hot dogs and eggs
but we were happy and rich with love & laughter.
I have never remarried or even lived with a man since.
Old fashioned & Italian, I remained a single Mother
for 25 years. My daughter graduated from college
w/honors and is happily married.
Her father committed suicide when she was an honor
student in Mt.Carmel High.
After I got my life & finances together,
I bought a place on Bayou Lacroix, it was next to the
home we had when I was a little girl. I think they call
this, the full circle.
I a self made and I never accepted charity.
I never heard of FEMA, until Katrina. I cried when
the Red Cross gave me a clean, cotton T-Shirt.
Humble pie and tears in your eye, I left thinking
I would return within 24 hours.
I remember eating hot dogs & eggs and I never
think that I am better than.
I listen to someone cry and try to understand
exactly why.
What good is money if we don't care about each other.
See, what money has done to Anna Nicole & her children.
Then there's Johnny Cocharan, who became rich & famous
for helping OJ escape double murders.
Look where Cochran lives today-6' under.
I am not religious, but I am spiritual.
I don't wany sympathy or charity,
I am letting you know where I come from and how I got here. I did not get this far from staying home, eating bon-bons.
I am strong, independent and a survivor.
If we have a God, he sees it all.
Could all of the natural disasters be hints from above.
We are all his children and no one wants to see their child betrayed.
I think God is angry too,
in fact I think he is crying.
