"No, it was FRANTIC piano."

Good description. I have heard either that one or something just like it. It does get irritating.

You do NOT want to tell me stuff like that.

See, I told you to tell it. But, be nice. Try.

Howlin's warning to those using generators after the storm (IF YOU READ ANYTHING ON THIS POST, READ THIS)

For all of you out there who use generators and ANY kind of gas, PLEASE USE A CO DETECTOR -- and, yes, even if you use it outside. I lost my only child to carbon monoixde poisoning 5 and a half years ago!
Do NOT let it happen to you or anybody you love!

Please excuse my jumping in with this personal prayer request. I just received a message a few minutes ago that my cousin has been taken to New Hanover Medical Center in Wilmington with a heart attack, and they have him scheduled for emergency surgery in a few hours just as soon as the hurricane passes on.

Thanks in advance to all my FReeper friends.

You're welcome. I'm about to hit the hay, sleep thru it, and hope I don't end up cooking all day tomorrow with the power out. I've got a good book to curl up with in the storm.... WARLORD.

His name? I am awake a lot at night, and having a name to pray for is good.
