[xsmommy]

i especially like this shot of the storm, sitting over my house at 2 am on Friday morning

[Gabz]

I'm hoping with you...............

It was the bus driver that informed hubby of the half day thing this morning.

5 minutes after he came back in and told me, the TV people finally mentioned it...........

[Gabz]

It's sitting right over my house at 2pm tomorrow.

[TheGrimReaper]

Your house must be a real landmark, considering that the National Weather Service bothered to put a big black dot on the map for it!

[TheGrimReaper]

I can't wait 'til the SOB gets to Canaduh.

[xsmommy]

i know, my SIL told me last evening that when they were watching TV about the storm, my bro said, hey look, that's going to come in right over xs's house!

[Texan5]

I'm working out of the house today, all day since I've got to be here to get my water purification system refilled. And the pump guy will be here to begin installing the new pump. And I've got a new printer, scanner and business software to install in my spare time. Gabz and xsmommy, it looks like tomorrow afternoon is D-day where you guys are. I will be praying that you are both okay.

[xsmommy]

thanks, t5! hope you get everything done that you need to!

[Texan5]

Holy s**t! That is WAY too close.

[xsmommy]

a co-worker and i were talking this AM about how in the olden days, prior to all the technology, that these things struck, suddenly, w/ no prep time etc. Her dad was a farmer in WV and we imagine that things were a lot like the Wizard of Oz, storms coming up, seemingly out of nowhere. So it is an advantage to be able to prepare, but it is also a drag to have to sit around and go on with daily life, waiting for it to happen, and knowing there is no way to avoid it.

[VRWCmember]

OK folks, get your truant behinds to the new classroom now!

[xsmommy]

oooooh i love it when you are all masterful and ordering everyone around....

[Gabz]

Thanks, my FRiend.

Looks like you've got your day cut out for you today!!!!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Slowest response ever (but I just had some 'private time' to think about it): Given all the "quality time" they spend intimately together, I'm guessing they are equally clean.

[xsmommy]

oh good. i have been waiting, breathlessly, for your response... :)

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I would dare say someone else came up with the same kinda answer, but I was too lazy to look...

[SeaDragon]

She’ll slip beneath the rolling waves, Because she is SeaDragon

Thank you sweetness. That was lovely.
