    Put trust in this, JJ is a class act when it comes to representing Houston and he'll make sure these funds aren't misappropriated

    The site is bogged down but don't be discouraged if not today, tomorrow etc just try later. Don't worry about the 15% fee, just uncheck the box

    Thanks guys pass the word

    Thanks Jesse great idea

    I imagine that this is going to affect your "Curmudgeon" rating on your yearly evaluation, F1. :o
    Yep, JJ Watt has pretty much established his credibility in this neck of the woods.

    Many of us will be volunteering hundreds of hours, taking in families, and donating clothing, household goods, food, and money. I will be doing each of these things to give hope back to those less fortunate than I am.

    JJ Watt.....you don't have to worry about that dude keeping his word. They don't get much better as far as being stand up individuals. I trust him more than I do those who's job it is.

    Agreed gents....just that for me anyway, some jackass comments need to be confronted so we can move on.

    That said, what's happening down in Texas, I'm damn proud of everyone coming together to help. Unfortunately it's not over either as the storm hits landfall again somewhere around the border of Texas and Louisiana.

    We wish we could could help in person but money donated will have to do. As we all know from previous similar disasters from the past that this is a long way from being "over". I truly feel bad for all those whose lives will negatively change now and hope their recovery is a quick one.

    Bass Pro Shops has donated quit a bit of equipment also.
    The St. Louis Cardinals and a number of their players have formed a group to donate moneys to the relief effort. I'm not aware of the amounts, but I'm sure it's not inconsequential.

    I haven't heard anything, but I'm sure the brewery will get involved also.

    Nice. :)

    Anheuser is the brewery.

    Anheuser-Busch stopped brewing and is bottling filtered water for those affected and trucking it in to the area.
