So the book you found there turned out alright? :~D
Good morning!
~sip~
Good morning everyone!
My DSL still isn't working, so I'm computer-less at night. :-(
And, of course, I uninstalled AOL before the hurricane hit, so now I don't even have dial-up. *smacks forehead*
I'm hoping that the DSL will be back online tonight. Otherwise, I'm going to call BelSouth and tell them not to DARE bill me for August!
I'm glad to hear that pretty much everyone has checked in safe and sound. I've been praying for those folks in LA/MS.
Yeah, DSL should be back by now, call 'em and harass.
Whoo-hoo, got my paycheck and it's just slightly larger than usual 'cuz I got some extra hours this summer. Means I might end up with a little in savings after I pay all my fees for the semester.
Yes! It was some British murder mystery written in the 20's or 30's (can't remember who the author was) that was just frightfully riveting! :)
I'd read that using Bounce with towels reduces the ability of the fabric to absorb water.
mmm... savings...
Well good! :~D
Perhaps I should check it out! And here I thought he mostly sold bad romance novels over there. :~D
Or even those fabric softener sheets. "These towels sure feel soft, but they don't dry me!"
People can be such animals.
Is it time to build the Hobbit Hole compound yet?
Sometimes disaster improves people, sometimes it doesn't.
I bet that's so...it feels oily on the sheet. Maybe I'll skip the towels. I only have two Bounce sheets, but I cut them in half.
I don't buy it...I like it ok, but won't spend the money on it! LOL!
It'll be novel for a while, though...Joshua is sitting here with his face tucked in the neck of his shirt smelling it! LOL!
Sheets! I'm gonna wash sheets and use a Bounce!
Hehe...I've got piles of clean laundry everywhere now...
Hattiesburg is pretty bad. It is about 130 miles inland, but the damage is as if they were on the coast. They are 100% without power as well. I cannot imagine ever being *that* upset over a bag of ice.
I had nightmares over this last night...I dreamed I was trapped in an attic with the jedis with water rising.
But 2J, you'd have gotten out long before the storm hit. I know you. Dreams aren't rational, of course, (heh, don't ask em what I dreamt last night) but... don't worry about that during the day, ok?
Do you have a link to this streaming video? I haven't seen any pictures from H'burg, and I cannot reach anyone because the phones are down.
I saw the owner of Mary Mahoney's, a landmark restaurant in Biloxi, interviewed this morning. He stayed there, and ended up on the second floor of the building watching the water rise. He said it came up to and almost into the windows, and the windows did break from debris floating by. He said the most unusual thing he saw was a pelican floating by on top of the water. The main building is still standing, though it was gutted. The newer area in the back was just washed away. He pointed to the oldest building in Biloxi that was just behind where he was. It was built in the early 1800s and was still standing!
