Freaking Rich people

(Backdated because I couldn't post with no internet access becasue of WIlma)
So today we slept in a bit since Matt's parents had finsihed cleaning up our lawn yesterday while we were gone. The day dawned with the neighbor who hadn't wanted any generators thenight before after asking for three and then who had only bought one, coming back and asking if we had two more. Matt's mom said she came over before anyone was even up at the house (well other then Matt's dad who leaves for work at 4am). We sold her the one we had left. Then we had to listen to her complain that she needed to write the check to Matt's Dad's company and needed a reciept on letterhead so she can put it in with her claim to FEMA. I think we all started smoking on that one, and I know steam came through Matt's dad's ears when we told him that one. He will not put it thorough his company because we did not make a profit off of these and it would screw up his books. I don't think he will ever help anyone again.

It might be different if these were poor people. But anyone who lives in this neighborhood is not poor. They can afford the cost of these generators at the drop of a hat. The fact that they are even making FEMA claims boils my blood. FEMA should be for people who really need help. Not for people who lost some trees and had to throw out some food becuase it went bad.

After all that we went to Dan's to help him cleanup his yard. We did as much as we could until the chinsaw chian got ruined. That was caused by a nighbor who asked us to help him cut his chainsaw free but whatever on that one. Those guys were as holes. I will not go back and help Dan cleanup anymore though. He was raking while I dragged limbs. Raking is the least priority people. I'm not doing all the ahrd work for someone else who is capable of doing it.
