"...I keep seeing the same documents over and over again."

That would lead to distraction.

Thanks, Kathy! I’m glad they have one, too, but I hope I never have to stay in it. It’s thick steel bolted to the concrete floor of the garage, and isn’t NEAR big enough to stay in for very long. I’d be climbing the walls. LOL!

[luvie]

I don’t doubt that. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[luvie]

Did you have any violent weather during the night? Hope all is good with you and Bo!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, my...did you and Pooks have a good day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

It does the trick, but I couldn’t handle not being able to move around. I don’t do small airplanes for the same reason. LOL!

Room for anything in it besides people?

[luvie]

I think they said they put a couple of chairs inside. The folding canvas kind...and a weather radio. And thank goodness my DIL had her cell phone and texted me that all was ok.

It’s only about 7X4 or so....about 7 feet tall. I guess if you’re in enough danger, it’s ok, but......

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pacing would be difficult. d:o)

Glad they are ok.

[luvie]

Indeed...taking one step would mean running into a small child. LOL!

Thanks...I am relieved too. My DIL just texted that they didn’t see any damage so that is more good news.

[Kathy in Alaska]

She’s getting around really well. Less worry for me when I’m at work. Still working on getting up and out and back in. Where the walls are convenient, I have bar rails in place for her to hold on to in lots of places, but not near her chair.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Woohoo! No damage!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique!

Luv.....#50!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...hope your area was safe from the tornado.

You and Bo have a great Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.
