    Good One Bengal ... I guess we could send them a generator so they can huddle around the exhaust pipe for warmth.

    well technically it was the people that gave the money, not her.

    and even so its not clear this stuff helps. charity is often counterproductive.

    I'm good. I shut off my water to my house the 1st day Power went out and drained as much as I could from the system.

    Now just chasing air and sediment because our towns water plant went down. We are on Boil until sometime next week.

    I think I got by pretty good on 1 part preparation, 1 part help, 1 part luck.

    Prepped the house. check

    Help: Did not expect or know what to do when power went off and the pool started to freeze over. My friend helped me winterize the pumps and filter. I think I might have saved that stuff. It will depend on when everything thaws and I turn the system on again. I did not have the visible damage to pumps and pipes like others have shown. check

    Luck? People's tankless water heaters busted. Mine didn't. I did add some extra insulation but I don't know if that helped or not. That could go to prepped but IDK. No damaged pipes in the house. No ice damns at my house. People are seeing water backing up into their drywall because of ice dams. Not me. Peoples fire water systems busted. I don't have one.

    And one more thing. I am on a fixed rate electrical plan. I can't believe what I am hearing from local news about what people are being charged for 1st, being without electricity, and then using it when they got it.

    So to sum up, AOC raises $1 million for Texas relief in 4 hours, $2 million in 2 days, plans to travel to Texas personally to volunteer at a Houston food bank, then gets slammed by right wingers embarrassed by the GQP's complete lack of a similar response.

    Sound about right?

    Disgraceful.

    You're gullible enough to believe she's doing it out of the goodness of her heart. You could never realize it's nothing but a PR stunt. What do you think she's going to do in the kitchen? Wash dishes?
