So, you wanna know what I've been doing for 4 days? Sitting out on the porch playing board games and cards with my young daughter. And just think: she and I are going to be out of school and work for a month or more. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. LOL!
Thanks again for your support. It meant a lot.
Note to self: When all the stores are open again, buy an extra battery for the Dell laptop!
KLVI is on-air right now announcing the different places in SE Texas that are now selling generators, and I immediately thought of you. At least 5 people have already died from carbon monoxide poisoning, and with the amount of people down here using them, there will no doubt be more. Please pray for the ones in the hospital clinging to life -- I heard one of them was a small child.
There have also been several near-misses, but someone found them and called for help in time. All these sick people are being life-flighted to Houston because of lack of medical care here.
Thank you for all your tireless efforts in letting Freepers know the dangers. Because of you, I thought to close the windows on the back of my house while the generator was running.
Nita,
It sounds like this is worse than Y2K!
Seriously, I know things are rough and I wouldn't want to be in your situation. But your attitude is so much more refreshing than the whining and blaming we see on tv. Thanks for giving us a dose of good Texas frontier spirit.
Hang in there. This is one to tell the grandkids about.

Cherish this blessing. I enjoyed the time that I got to spend with my family this past weekend.
Glad y'all are safe!
