Hippolytes--shut up. Gosh, all she was talking about was her vaca, not trying to offend people in FL for Gosh sake! Must you make a friggin drama about every darn thing? I am sure Shawna knows ALL ABOUT IT b/c as many people do, she probably has cable news and knows what is up, okay? Lighten up a little bit!

Hippolytes, you must know by now how much Shawna cares about other people. I know you've seen that here on the boards. She was not laughing about people's pain (obviously!), she was laughing because she's giddy about going on a cruise - on the first real vacation she's ever been on!

You want to know the kind of caring she has? Then listen to this story. She's learned her empathy from some very fine people.

Her parents are cat/housesitting in a trailer east of Orlando. When they got the mandatory evacuation order, they called the shelters trying to find a place for the cat they were sitting - not their cat, a friends cat. All the shelters were full. So you know what they did? They closed the windows and hunkered down with that cat in a CLOSET and waited out the hurricane. They refused to leave that cat alone in that house during a hurricane that could have killed them!

These are Shawna's role models. She shows that same kind of concern and caring *daily* here on the boards and in her real life. Don't you chastise her for being giddy about her vacation. You KNOW... I know you know... - maybe you just can't admit it - that she was not making light of the emergency.

Sheesh.

That was just about the stupidest thing you have ever written. Its as if you want to find an arguement on this board. I really don't see any way you could have read into her post that she wanted harm to come to anyone or was somehow making fun of the situation with the hurricane.

No one here wants harm to come to anyone, anywhere--I think you know that, but you just want to freak out about something.

My entire family is on the west coast of Florida, so just in case you were going to deem me unconcerned, think again.

Its time to chill out.

Also, if Forte was impacted by the hurricane, I think this whole board would be hoping for her safety.

I don't think she was saying anything stupid at all, but I do think your post violates TOS and so I'm reporting it.

Wow...I think everyone just needs to chill out a bit.

Yes, what happened in Florida was a tragedy but I really don't think Shawna meant any harm.

Calm down people.

Cheers

Have a wonderful, wonderful trip Shawna!

And of course you said nothing offensive. I'm sitting here with a tornado warning in the county next to me, though, so I don't want to hear any offensive wizard of oz jokes or anything like that! ;)
