Dreamflower's Mathom-house

On August 29, 2005, the same thing was happening on the Gulf Coast that is happening right now.

Right now, many of my same friends and relatives who suffered through Katrina are now experiencing Isaac. Right now, they must be recalling that horrible time.

As I do every year, here is a link to My Hurricane Katrina Diary, an account of my experience with the storm from the beginning until I was once more reconnected to the rest of the world.

Please keep all those who are going through all this once more in your thoughts and prayers!

I just spent an hour and a half making the next voting poll for the T&F awards, and when I went to post it, LJ gave me this message:

[Error parsing poll: Text inside an lj-pi tag must be between 1 and 255 characters. Yours is 0.]

Now, I know I had more than 0 characters! Am I going to have to chop this poll up even more? I had more than 255 characters in the first poll!

Does anyone know what the heck it means? And what I will have to do to fix it?
