Steve Leigh, it's a known fact that you are an unbelievably talented studio musician (keyboardist).  I respect you for that.  At least back in the 70's there was nobody better, maybe still isn't.  Plus undoubtedly you are a very good writer and a very intelligent man as evidenced in your ability to use the English language in your posts. But I do think that you have been too harsh on your view of Shandra.  I say this because I think that you are blaming Shandra for the current HAZMAT regulations and the idiodic confusion and hysterical over-reacting between the local, state and federal rules.  This is not Shandra's fault for all this delay and confusion and lack of clarity in dealing with what used to be considered "no big deal" 20-30 years ago.  This matter has been taken completely out of her hands by these various gov't bureaucracies and they will do what they see fit when they see fit with no advice and consent from the public or Shandra.  You certainly can understand this. 

I can understand why anyone now days who has a brain detests current gov't bureacracies and bureaucrats in regard to HAZMAT matters.  Many think that these gov't bureacracies are "out of control" and are parasites on the people, existing only for themselves  instead of being "by the people, for the people" the way US founding fathers set the gov't up to be.  I for one do.  But this is NOT Shandra's fault for these crazy regs and slow response.  This is driven by all the damage done at places like LOve Canal and Rocky Flats and "lead in the gasoline and lead in the paint.  If you want evidence of the Gov't confusion in these type matters just consider how the gov't did virtually nothing  in New Orleans for at least 8 days while people died for nothing, due to supposed "bureacratic confusion and buck passing". So I'm with you on that aspect of this situation. But also, remember that most of the folks in these gov't agencies are basically good people that are unnecessarily bound by existing and suffocating rules out of DC.

I have checked out the situation with Shandra and I now know for certain that she is telling the truth and has been telling the truth all along and is not trying to manipulate money out of anyone.  She is a good person who got bushwhacked by tragedy.  Certainly anyone would feel confused and uncertain what to do in this situation. This can and has happened to many of us at different times in our lives. She never asked anyone for money and still hasn't. Anything anyone can do for her is greatly appreciated, and even a $5 gift can mean a lot to anyone when they have lost almost everything but their car and have no money.  Steve, I hope that you would be more understanding of Shandra and her situation right now, that's all.  

Frankly, I don't see how anyone can be so insensitive right off the bat, with out knowing anything about the person or the situation. As I tried to say in the other post, Steve couldn't jump up high enough to kiss Shandra's a**! And has anyone heard from Shandra? With Thanksgiving coming up, I wonder how she's coping....& how are the dogs & pups doing, anybody heard? Sparrow, I'll wait for your letter...Yellowrose, you should have the copies I sent you shortly. I hope the bank gets the itty-bitty check I sent soon. What supermarkets are down there? I'm thinking gift certificate, or do the Walmarts have food sections in them??? jackie harris

Yes there is a super walmart right by her business.....and they have food galore....Im sure with pups and dogs and she worked till 9 oclock fri nite to get customers dogs finished....she had a good week of customers but had to go to with EPA to her house  so it slowed her day down...she has been working two jobs for several years and she does it well....

She is getting nervous, and felt weak Friday,,,she says its stress , finally taking its tole........she doesnt have time for herself...and something is gonna have to give....Im sure Ill hear from her tonight...

now that   she has worked with her pups today...she is playing catch up with the dogs....ears to clean , brushing and I assume  bathing in a antiprunitic shampoo or whatever they suggest......and all in a make shift home in a tiny makeshift fencing......

         Hi Shandra mark here Sorry for giving you a hard time. Hope you and your son are safe hopefully you guys can have somewhat of a nice holiday I sometimes having a hard time beliving stories sometimes PS whats the number for the wall mart gift card?

Great post, Preston!

Its the red number at the top of this  thread

You just give them that number         and tell cashier     I want to put   XX dollars on this card    ....write it on  a little note paper and hand it to cashier...she puts into register and gives you a receipt 

It automatically goes into the card and no one can see it or use it...

All you have is a number....she has the pin   and the card....Thanks

Again the number needed is        6036 1422 2530 3343          Walmart Gift Card number.

Steve Leigh:   am glad to know you are an accomplished pianist..  My whole family are musicians....My Uncle Robert Pfeiffer, played with the Philadelphia Philharmonic many years ago ., prior to my birth , and he played by ear, and note also, and my grand parents had a baby grand in their home in Illinois,,,,and both of them played everything from Mozart, Schumann , Bach,   the Hallejuhah Chorus to Sussa, and all the enbetween...

I am a high soprano soloist , with many years of solo work , almost went into opera., but because my uncle Robert died short of my 18th birthday, my hopes and dreams fell apart...My dad died before I was born, so I had no one to push me on....and Uncle Robert had promised me to come to Arizona  ,where he was now working in piano bars ,because he had bad emphezema and had to go to dry climate...he was get me started and I just settled for the College of the Mainland and the Mainland Chorus in TC<TX to get my edu. never learned the piano...envy you.....I always had to hunt for a pianist evertime I ws ask to sing at an event....canned music was the choice..
