YOU KNOW YOU ARE A KATRINA VICTIM WHEN...

- Your only bank deposits are marked "FEMA."
- You have lived in three different cities in the last month.
- You can distinguish between flood and wind damage and know the difference between the "good side" of a storm and the "bad side."
- Your ear has stayed hot from using your cell phone.
- Your day is spent on hold or talking to recordings.
- You respond "None" to the blanks for address, phone, or occupation on questionnaires.
- Your SSN isn't a secret; it's written in Sharpie on your arms.
- You're on a first-name basis with the cashier at Home Depot and Lowe's.
- You own more than three large coolers.
- Three months ago you couldn't hang a shower curtain; today you can assemble a portable generator by candlelight.
- Your friends now live across the Unites States.
- Someone comes to your door to tell you they found your roof.
- You no longer pay electricity, water, cable or any other home-related bills.
- Your clothes smell like Grandma's attic.
- You look for mold before using any of your possessions.
- There is a roll of tarpaper in your garage.
- Your "drive-thru" meals consist of MRE's and bottled water.
- You've been laughed at over the phone by a roofer, fence builder or a tree worker.
- Having a tree in your living room does not necessarily mean it's Christmas.
- You have spent hours bumper-to-bumper in traffic to go nowhere.
- You have gained an uncanny knowledge of government assistant programs from Red Cross to unemployment.
- Your social conversations center on the details of demolition, mold removal, and roof repair and ice.
- You now have your hair color formula in your address book.
- You have 3-7 people living in an apartment smaller than the one you rented when you first married.
- Your patience is thin. You have a new fridge and probably hauled it home on a truck yourself instead of waiting for delivery.
- You have cussed out anyone who does not respond to your requests.
- You alternate between feeling like screaming, crying, laughing uncontrollably, and jumping from the 10th floor of your Red Cross donated hotel room.
- You can no longer make logical decisions since nothing seems logical anymore.
- You realize what a great life you had with a crew of great friends.
- You realize how comfortable you were ... and you just want to be comfortable AGAIN!

-You stand in your house and thank God with all sincerity that only two trees came through.

I heard that George W. Bush was recently asked about his position regarding Roe versus Wade.

He replied that he really didn't care how people had escaped the New Orleans flood...
