She's been spayed, so I guess it's safe to give the two of you my blessing.
We're looking into adoption.
Meet little Joey, your new grandson.
You think I got hands that steady??? Nossir, I want a moyel with practice.
With buttcheek cutouts in your leather pants?
Heck no, of course not.
That's why I was concerned for the little critter's safety and well-being.
OK, 2 things here:
couldn't they have picked Clyde instead of Charlie, so it could be Bonnie & Clyde?
Real issue is, looks like Charlie is going to be pushing water up into the tampa bay/intercostal waters there for Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
That is bad, because you can get sudden flooding with storm surge which is very dangerous.
A lot of people live in that area from up north (is that a wild understatement or what?!), and don't know what to be aware of, or what to do when a storm comes though.
***************************************************************************
Today is thursday--Charlie is not supposed to hit till late tomorrow afternoon. Left for walmart at 7am today--with my list of how to survive the camping thing. No water at walmart, no batteries, no flashlights and no propane tanks. Got all my groceries there. They are about out of everything. then went to home depot for the lamp oil and batteries and propane..SOLD OUT!
Went to winn dixie--no parking space anywhere. So went to walgreens and found the batteries and lamp oil--the time is now 10:20am thursday and (husband) is still out looking for propane.
I have to work from 1 to 10:30 tonight. (Friend) worked at publix till after midnight last night and they called her in at 8am today. The stores have lines a mile long and the shelves are going empty quick.
(Daughter) has decided to stick out the hurricane at her house by herself. She has to be on hospital staff all day tomorrow. I told her to put up her patio furniture and anything else out side. She will come her after work today to pick up some food and candles and batteries. (Son-in-law) is in Kiwait (sp) having a fit. I told her to pack up her papers for (Son-in-law) and the cats and get out of there and she won't do it.
Sarasota just announced that they have MANDATORY evacuations not voluntary. McDill is now empty and CENTCOM has moved. Our evacuations and school closings will be at noon. (Husband) just got back and got the propane..Found it at Sports Aurhority.
Have to duct tape the windows tomorrow. Gotta pull out trash cans and flower pots and anything else laying around outside. Have to tie down the furniture on the porch. Super shock the pool for water to wash. I can always boil it and use it to cook with if I have too. We should be fine unless a tree falls on the house. the worry we have!
(Daughter) needs to make up her mind--if she stays she might not be able to get here later with lines and trees down.
Laptop and cell phones are charged and ready too. I'll keep in touch as this gones on. (Son) is not going to the courthouse tomorrow but (Daughter) has to work..Hopefully she will come home early. I (thank God) have off friday.
BTTT!!!!!!!
350,000 people mandatory evacauation in pinnilas county--that's st. pete-clearwater-tarpon springs--they are all coming to brandon--My God!!!
Well crap. This looks like either one of them is going to be coming through Maryland. So we may get hit again.
Funny story is that when my son and his family moved to Florida, one of our greatest worries were the hurricanes. Looks like Bonnie will miss them, but come our way. Charley may get us both.
Oh well, will have to keep my ears to the speakers and eyes on the tv. And, stock up.
My brother lives between Fort Myers and Naples. He's in-land far enough that he probably won't have to worry about storm surge.
He went to Publix yesterday morning and got some additional water and food. He said the stores were busy yesterday morning...because at that time, it looked like Charley was gonna come ashore near them.
He has a portable generator at home so he won't lose power. And yes, he's armed too. He's says you can never be too prepared in case the brown fecal matter hits the fan.
prayers for your family.
My son just called near Clearwater Beach was told that everybody and I mean everybody leave. They expect a storm surge over 10 ft to sweep across the island which is only 1/2 mile wide if Charlie comes near.
prayers for your family too. I have been through a hurricane. It's not fun.
If you look at the point where Bonnie and Charlie's paths intersect, that is where I am.
Oh well,
It will be fun watching the new subdivision flood (the one that was build in a drained swamp...idjits).
Looks like a commando chef.
If it stays on that track that things' coming right over my house- and I'm NOT looking forward to seeing where it's going to throw all these mature pine trees.
