Prayers for you and all FReeQers in the path of the cane, and everyone else too of course.
I hope Floridians check in. How about 17strings and Cats pajamas as havne’t heard from them lately. Numberonepal and genetic homophobe, how are you? I probably missed some.
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.
Am in a tropical storm warning area currently.
Calm before the storm here literally. Current forecast for my part of Florida is starting Wed. afternoon thru Friday morning 12-15 inches rain 35-50 mph wind with gusts of 60. Don’t live near any bodies of water. One hopes those in the Ft. Myers-Sarasota-Tampa areas are either evacuated or safely hunkered down. Port Charlotte-Punta Gorda is where Ian is forecasted to make landfall. From what they are saying the most damage will be caused by water flooding and storm surge. The Gulf Coast is riddled with barrier islands that are fully developed.
As long as phone service is working will have internet access.
Prayers up for oldngray who has occasionally visited the Q thread (And the Linux thread) and who lives in SW Florida!
Dern thing is headed right for us barely north of us, in the Ft. Myers area (Alva). 430 pm landfall, Punta Gorda, half hour northwest from us. we are a little inland prepared best we can. Putting the boards up first thing in the morning, got them all ready, flooding could be epic, bout to view your goodnight mountain pic and try to be well rested for a long exhausting day mañana.
Hey y’all, sorry I’ve been so silent - I’m fine!
It’s been harder than usual to keep up with the threads because real life is going so well lately! Truly, right now is the happiest of times for me. And nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever that Bidumb, a hurricane, or anyone/thing else does can harsh my mellow one iota!
No, I haven’t gone back to work. It may or may not be in the cards for me to return, it’s still uncertain at this point. Frankly, I no longer care if I don’t. Many other good things are occupying my time. Like our small worship ensemble at church really homing in lately and finding its own unique sound, and being an utter fun pleasure to play with every Sunday. And finding a “BFF” (more like the sister I’ve never had, really), who’s near my age, on the same wavelength with me about every matter in life that’s even slightly important to us - a true kindred spirit. Prior to this, neither of us imagined such a friendship was even possible, and we’re very blessed that God put us in each other’s path at the perfect optimal time. (Just goes to show that you’re never too old to receive a wonderful surprise!)
So I’m lurking and trying my dangedest to stay current around here. Please be assured that I’m still stealing and sharing all the best memes - thankQ bigly, and y’all know who you are. ;) I usually jump ahead in the threads to catch the memes, and then try to go back and read all the posts. I’m usually at least several days behind everyone else.
W W G 1 W G A, and I love all of y’all, my FreeQin’ frens!
