Looks good, even if I did not associate TMNT with so much violence so far.

As we all might have heard, this typhoon (which was called Yolanda in our country) which was said to be the strongest for this year slammed our country last week, particularly Leyte province. As of today, there are about 10,000 casualties and a few hundreds of thousands who needs help. Houses and establishments have been washed out by the storm surge, there's scarcity of drinking water for the survivors, and to make matters worse, power and communication was down. It totally broke my heart to see the pictures and videos of the aftermath of this calamity. Reading the experiences of some of the survivors was devastating. It is more hurting that one neighboring province (Bohol) is still recovering from the earthquake that hit them last month.
On the bright side, I was happy to read one news report that 23 countries volunteered offers of assistance to our country. Apart from the assistance provided by each country and international group, several individuals also extended their help.
Leyte may take a while to recover, but all the assistance that was given will greatly help in their recovery.
On behalf of my countrymen who were affected, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to those who extended their aid, whether in kind, cash, or in prayers.

My Strong gratitude to all Philiphines for this Typhoon. However, these are very cruel but cannot avoid. We can be safe when we follow directions provided by government and public interest orgnisations such as Red Cross Etc. May be not the right time to present in India recently we got a Typhoon like storm but get out with no loss. I beleive this is because of active participation of people in following the care to be taken such as leave the place when ever necessary etc.
We must always give the priority to lives not to the properties. So, we have leave the place as soon as governemnt asked us to Vacate in the track it is coming down.
However, we pray god that philipines recover from this as soon as possible.

I hope that the country recovers soon. Disasters like this are nasty, and truly out of what man can control.

That seems rather low for the damage caused.
Even so I suppose the hospitals would be overwhelmed with 10,000 casualties turning up all at once.
How many dead? I have seen reports saying as many as 20,000, how are they going to dispose of the corpses?
(Mass burials is an option, but you need to get rid of the dead before they rot and spread cholera, typhoid, dysentery etc).
There was a piece on the news about a man who lost his wife and three children, you just cannot imagine the grief.
Sad, very sad.

The news report says that it was around 10,000. But then, there were also reports of people who buried their dead loved ones just after the flood subsided, so we really don't know, though I think it was more than that.

Just talked to their support people over the phone and get the issue resolved, although after one whole week on a payment issue.

You may told them that we all heard about your difficulties, here  . That may move them to permanent improvement in their service...

I'm just glad we got this done... I was just about to switch to other vendors and was considering Avangate[^]
Anyway, the support guy who was one the phone with me was helpful - got to give them the credit for assistance delivered.

So, in summary, I think you are trying to tell us you don't understand mathematics or its notation.

no, hes trying to tell us he needs to get the elephant away from his keyboard and interact with some humans in a social setting. Preferably not mentioning the above to any of them either.

P.S. I'd mark it as spam as this guy just seems to post the same drivel all over the place, but I know some of our regulars are still tucked up in beddy-byes & I would hate for them to miss out on such a revelation.

No Maxxx, mark his message as spam, and him as a spammer (in his profile). I just did.

I disagree.
He has posted only a single message, and while stoopid it is harmless.
I see it doing no harm to the visitors to the lounge.
