Ok, I will not be a party to your shenanigans. ;0)
I go back to teaching high schoolers next week and they bring all the drama I can handle. Although I have come to realize that boys DO NOT EVER grow up. EVER. On the way to school, I can have the same EXACT conversation with my 8 year old boy as I do with 18 year old boys at school. EXACT. Girls’ interests change from Barbie at age 4 to lip gloss at 11 to boys at age 13. Boys’ interests hover around bad smells, video games, and practical jokes from age 4 to eternity...It’s life and I’ve come to accept it, so have your fun. ;0)
Me too, ferverntly, me too.
I am going to see if I can get ahold of my Uncle Pat, in Pasadena tomorrow. He’s still currently without power, but he is elderly and I am worried about him.
Oh, snap! Y’all figured us out. No fair!
Good info about the mortgage deferral in a tight situation. Hopefully, they won't sock you too hard with late fee penalty.
Tip: Keep an eye out for your electric bill. With electricity out for several days, you power bill should be less than usual. Unfortunately, all too often following a storm, the electric company cannot/does not read meters for a month or two. As a result, you electric bill will be based on prior months (e.g. peak load for July/August), and your electric bill may well be a whole lot higher than it should be. If this happens, call the company with your actual meter reading in hand. They will probably try to talk you into waiting a month or two to make adjustments. Be persistent, and they will make the adjustment.
That’s so typical. My grandson gets up in the morning asking if Taco Bell is open yet.
Kids, can’t live with ‘em, can’t throw ‘em under a bus :-)
Oh my, shame on you - LMAO
Thank you for volunteering to help others. It’s a wonderful thing you do. God Bless!
I spent some time today lookin’ around on Google Earth/
pics from some links here/etc. ,,,
Much has changed since I was there last,,,
Much of it is hard to look at,,,
Seems to be a very large amount of wreckage unaccounted for.
Gone,,,
That road on the Bolivar Pen. is only about 3-6’ ASL,,,
I would think some of the lumber would have washed back
from the N? and be stacked up against what was left when
the water went down,,,bare sand in most places,,,
Fox just reported that the search crews are now leaving
Galveston,,,local gubmint now worried about bodies washing
up on shore,,,hotline being set-up for folks to check-in
and to report people missing...
God Bless you in such a worthwhile cause. FTR...my thoughts were not that she somehow ‘caused’ the devastation, but that when asked about it, her first thought(like most liberal politicians)was the loss of ‘her tax base’.
FRegards.
Well. I hope you contact him alright.
It also helps if you preface the conversation with ‘I spoke with the Public Utilities Commission today (my Aunt works there)’ ...the conversation/negotiation tends to go your way after that.
Many utilities have rat AMR - automatic meter reading, the meter ‘pings’ your elec company with the reading every month.
Somebody was asking how they knew how many residents didn’t evacuate..... elec company can judge pull from homes and extrapolate how many left and turned everything off vs. how many were pulling normal juice when Ike hit.
If they ping your AMR meter for current pull, which should be zero but is not, they can infer you haven’t evacuated.

Fox just reported all that?
Are they leaving Galveston and going East to Crystal Beach, Bolivar, Gilchrist? Or just getting out of town altogether?
Me too.
Whooo, the dog is eating. She finally came out of the bedroom. I tell you the trauma isnt just for humans.
Poor thing has been in a tizzy. We have not had a repeat of the seizure incident though, so I am glad about that. I figure we may have one accident or two, before she is used to the new fence.
She hates change. She’s not voting for Obambi.
:-)
L0L!
