I'll Be Back As Soon As Possible~

I feel the same way like I'm missing something...the storms have stopped so back on now

The storms seem to be over now...so just getting back on-line..yayyyy

In the NYC area--nope the storms haven't come back

Welcome back!!! I hope that they don't come back for a good long while!!! Where are located? Talk to you later.

I go batty without electricity. No TV, no puter and no lights or music. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well it seems to have calmed down now...gee just noticing I posted this four hours ago....FOUR HOURS NOT ON THE COMPUTER....EKKKKKKK Oh well, decided to spend the time catching up on cleaning instead..so gee, cleaned out my closet, went through some stacks of papers to throw out..cleaned up in the bedroom...not much...LOL Yes one does go batty without any juice...when the electricians were doing the rewiring in our building they shut off all the electricity...no electricity for about ten hours total since they started at 7 in the morning! So no computer, no TV no nutin...

Yup...I shut down my computer completely...seems the storm is finally over with..spent the time cleaning..oh what fun...NOT..would rather have been here

The days we had over 90 degree weather, closer to 100 actually I stayed home, which drives me daft...one of the hot days, I even started getting dressed to go out, as I just plain wanted to go out, then said the hell with it...it was too friggin hot. Aww..sorry to hear about your lizard and spider monkey--wouldn't have thought a lizard would be affected as they are supposed to like hot weather

Storm is finally over...how's the storms your way? Finally over??

Yeah, the storms have passed on by and now it's back to hot and humid. I have a lot of outdoor work to do and it's just impossible to do it with the sun beating down on me... I don't know how the plants stand it! I get mild 'sun poisoning' if I'm out in strong sunshine for more that a few minutes. The other day it was somewhere around 90 degrees and I was barely able to drag my body up the road to the store. I thought I was going to faint and I could barely make my legs move. Then I passed these kids out in their back yard, right in the direct noonday sun, playing baseball!!!!!!!! WTF! Don't they have internal temperature gauges? I killed my pet lizard and our spider monkey by putting them in the sun thinking they would enjoy it. I carried that around for awhile. But it taught me that the sun can be a dangerous lover. And since trees can handle Him full strength like that, I like to let them do it, while I hang out in the shade of their limbs. That's probably the main purpose of trees! I don't like to cut them down indiscriminately.

Okay sending rain your way..the storm is over for us for now...Pyewacket is mad at me since he told me I could have been writing in my book about him, but had to explain mommy couldn't do that in the storm and have the computer on. Okay--know any good rain dances??

yup there is that hope ya got tons of tehm to watch like we do.

I no longer have cable but I remember how often my cable would be out of commission..so would settle watching my VCR tapes then..better than nothing

Mmmm...no things aren't too pad with me...LOL Hehehe..now I can poke fun at you just like folks poked fun at me when in one of my discussions I wrote that cherries were good for goat Meant gout

Ugh! I hate having to give 2-part responses when I forget something. I'll stay online thru a storm till the power goes out or flickers and then get offline and shut 'r' down till the storm is over. I always find stuff to do even in pitch darkness.

So far, we are doing ok other than the deluge we got just over a week ago when we got over 4" in under 3hrs. that cause even 10' ditches to overflow for a day. Lord I had to keep turning around and taking different detours on my route cause the roads/ditches that never flooded did with a foot of water flowing over the roads. No way was I going to go thru the water and take a chance on being washed into a 10' ditch on a road that is seldom traveled. I really feel for the people in Indiana and Iowa with whole towns underwater. I know some people in IN were evacuating with their pets thou. This weather is just so crazy. Pyewacket should understand that if computer blows, no story will be written. lol

How is it over in your area? I'm still hearing of all the floodings in Iowa and Indiana ...they say the floods in Iowa are as bad as Katrina..hope people saved their pets and didn't abandon them like they did at Katrina Pyewacket was annoyed that I didn't write in his book last night, but I had to explain to him that I had to turn my computer off to keep it safe so it wouldn't be affected. Hope to write some tonight

We still have a lot to do - to get the roomie able to be able to work from home. We don't have the energy to all the work at once, but if we do a little bit at a time until we get it done - or if we can get a young person to come help - maybe we can get it done before they do it. We were supposed to have one this weekend, but that fell thru. A few weeks ago we went thru our clothes and took a large trash bag over to Goodwill of shirts that either were too small or worn for us. We also put some of the winter clothes away. Now we have another tub to put more of the winter clothes in so we can safely put them out in a shed until next fall. And that doesn't even touch my front room/craft space!

Well since I don't like being idle I spent the four hours I wasn't at the computer doing really terribly exciting stuff...cleaned out my own closet, got rid of a lot of papers, cleaned up in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom...

Also, about a month ago, there was a power outage (nothing to do with thunder, though) and I unplugged my computer but forgot about the answering machine... It doesn't work anymore...

Yikes I wouldn't think a power outage could affect something simple like an answering machine. When our electricity was off for about ten hours total while the electricians did all the rewiring in the building sometime ago, I had one hell of a time trying to get my computer up and running again

wow~that was fast.it's raining. thankies

Well today it's nice and sunny after all that rain..think it's supposed to rain again tonight..so I'll send some rain your way..LOL

So many of my friends here have been having computer problems lately...I'd go nuts without a computer for too long

Hi Pye-thats so true even mine has been playing me up and I only got it last september-I too would go nuts without mine your friend littleowl

Oh my..it rained from 8:30 a.m. to after 11p.m??...that's a LOT of rain..LOL. It's a beautiful day today here..what a difference from yesterday.

Oh yes, did it rain and rain and rain. But now we have beautiful sunshine and the plants are flowering all over the place. The butterflies are flitting from flower to flower and everything looks so green. Ahhhhh!

Since I had to shut down my computer last night, and I didn't want to be idle, so decided to do some catch up cleaning...like clean out my closet, cleaned up a bit in my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen...

Hiya my friend....we had horrible storms here again tonight...that left a "tree" fatality..the beautiful tree that WAS in front of my bedroom window came crashing down. And I'm emailing as many places as possible with complaints against the stupid tree company that had decided to prune trees at the wrong time of year and weakened them...only reason that tree fell as it did as they did a hatchet job on it

One doesn't realize how addicted one is to the computer when one has to shut it down for awhile during storms...and I lost out on four hours of work I wanted to do...trying to catch up now

LOL..nope didn't do a pen and paper thing but decided to get more cleaning done..I've gotten lazy about writing by hand now that I'm so used to the computer

I got kind of annoyed having to shut down my computer...I lost a lot of hours of potential work ..then when the storm was over tried to catch up..but was too darn tired and it was getting late..urgh!!

LOL...my "quality" time spent was to do more cleaning...LOL...oh, well, kept telling myself to do some cleaning..Storm is finally over..yay!!
