Manpot For me in the rebuilding of the South Sound Villa, my biggest villain has been First Bank. Very slow in giving me MY funds to rebuild the villa This month it has taken 11 month to get 93k Hardly a month of expenses. They have also charged me 12 K+ for "insurance" for a totally demolished villa. In addition they are holding my insurance money discussed above. I send them E_mails and almost never get a response. When I call by telephone it does seem to get them to do something. But my complaint on the insurance for which I have no policy, did not approve and did not want. Who insures a demolished building. I view this as fraud!

..post Irma. You will get the most amazing support from people you barely know and you will be massively disappointed by those you thought you could rely on. You will find out that some folks will use the time when you are at your lowest ebb to really abuse you..while others will go out of their way to get you back on track. I suppose we realise who our true friends really are when the sh$t hits the fan..and find out who the freeloaders are when the gravy train dries up! We are truly blessed to have been helped through the hurricanes in the BVIs and the fires here in Sonoma by truly, wonderful folks. I cannot wait to be able to repay their kindness in the not to distant future..and, not to be bitter, but I also cannot wait to write down some other names..and put a line through them! Oh..I already have. To those of us who sent love, support and advice we thank you every day..we will never forget it. Couldn't agree more! I learned who I could depend upon when I did my Humane Society volunteer trip shortly after Irma. Those with a lot of 'presence' and a great deal of 'bravado' are sometimes just full of hot air!
