I have been looking around for a free site where the banners are minimal and there are certainly not whole pages that pop-up.
So I found one and was very glad, but when I took a better look it said that one had to apply for a premium within 45 days, otherwise large banners would be displayed on top.
Then I landed somewhere with such a difficult system that it took me hours before I had the index-page up. Now I know why some people are not able to do even that.
LOL!
On TV was a large moneyraising program to help the victims of the earthquakes and the
tsunamis.
The program was a mix of emotions. The lighter tone beside movies and accounts from the regions, songs and a lot more.
The fund-raising CD is great. I love the song. Good text and very melodious.
When it was about 24.00 hours they had already raised: 112.144.000 euros.
Not bad for such a little country.
And there's more to come.
And that's apart from what the government has given.
One by one the studies about the earthquakes and tsunamis are reported.
The first reports say there's a piece of land that's more than 100 km long and about 20 km wide
that is lifted, because one part of the earthshells is pushing itself under another shell.
The aftershocks are so many, and a large part is still above 5 on richter, that I keep worrying.
We were finally able, with the group, to get in contact with friends of the family of one of us.
They fled the tsunami and made it all, but they have nothing left. Not even clean clothes.
But they are alive!!!!
This also gives hope we'll be able to track down the other families too.
During our long hours of searching we found double names on the lists and have reported that to the help-organisations.
I wish I could go there and help with my hands.
Or comfort those who have lost their beloved ones.
Giving money never gives me a better feeling.
We even forgot to celebrate the three kings day. We ususally do here, with children going to the doors singing songs.
But it's forgotten, like burning the lights on the christmastree.
It feels like someone has taken away the meaning of the season...but maybe it's in the way people spend emotions on the disaster.
