Which would not surprise me, seeing as you SLEPT through a tornado siren just around the corner from my house!! LOL
Hehehe. The local news guys keep saying to get one of those weather radios. I think it would be a waste of money. :)
Maybe you get one of those ones that vibrates the bed or something...for deaf people...
Although you probably need one that tosses you out of the bed.
--->ROFLOL at this mental image...
got me one of them weather radios ( a gift from muh aunt)... alarms goin' off constantly in the night... usually fer severe thunderstorms, high winds or hail... I could givvuh crap about that... tell me when a twister is on the way......
"When I was a little kid, I thought Galatians was when the spacemen came."
ROFL! "A letter from Paul to the Vulcans. . ." :)
They need one that claws your face. My cat can get me up like that.
"Silent Running" was very MSTY-fiable. Bruce Dern's motivation was so crazy it made you sympathize with the bad guys; and that Joan Baez song was too much!
Some of the more expensive (meaning, I don't got one) alarms have "SAME" technology...you can program the counties you want to be alerted and the type....tornado, thunderstorm...warning or watch...
Mine goes off all the time for stuff I could care less about too...usually I keep it on the setting where it just makes a little sound then the guy starts talking. However, during tornado season, I keep it on siren and it's pretty loud.
I also press the siren when we're doing a "shelter in place" drill...
OT saw my shelter in place room!
yeah... we're down tuh two hens (1 BR and 1 RIR) that are producin'... the black ones should start pretty soon...quite a digreesion from the six eggs a day we were gettin' a month ago... bastidge coon...
we got three 5-week-old RIRs out in the coop... we won't see any eggs from them till the fall...
gonna order a dozen more guineas and 6 more Barred Rocks from Cackle Hatchery...
I get the "select a county" option... but not the "pick yer natural disaster" option...
It's a shame, but at least there's this...
They're cheap.
My Americaunas are going in with the big chickens tonight, see how they get along...I figure on waiting till it's almost dark then putting them in the chicken run and see if they'll go to bed with the big chickens...
we got the RIRs in a little enclosure inside the coop... we'll release them into the "general population" next week...
yeah, they're cheap, but it takes so long fer 'em tuh mature to producin' age...
Yep, loose one and it's a lot of wasted time and effort.
Puffy, the buff orpington, is the worst of our chickens...she pecks just for no reason that I can tell and really tears a chunk outa ya.
She lays massive eggs, though...big round speckled jobs. She's lucky she does.
It is?
I was talking to Steve about him taking the boys camping while I'm gone and Joshua just started bawling.
Ugh...walking away from them boys is gonna be the hardest thing I ever did! I've been away from Matthew 1.5 nights when Joshua was born, then the night that TTT came out, then the night that the ROTK came out. I've just been away from Joshua when the movies came out. And just overnight!
I was running down a bunch of things with Steve on the way home. Like you can't laze around when Joshua gets up in the morning...he's gotta eat immediately. You can even feed him twice, but you gotta get up and feed him right away, 'cause he's always starving in the morning.
And to put lotion on Joshua's bad skin spots...
Ugh!! I'm so excited, but I'm gonna be a wreck by the time I leave! lol
LOL I had it off while you were asleep...since we were sitting up watching the news anyways...
Heh, it's good for the boys to have some just-with-Dad time! They probably won't do any laundry and they'll have the strangest things for dinner, but they'll have fu, too.
*fun
I know! That's exactly what I keep telling myself. And especially with Steve gone so much over the last couple of semesters...they could all use some time together.
I'm very excited to get to go...I've already started packing!
I know what you mean... I'm excited about moving, it's six weeks still and I'm trying to pack something up every day!
Oh, but I wish I could be at the wedding.
