The weather guys are saying that we could get as much as 3/4 to one inch of ice with massive power lines down, trees destroyed, etc. There's nothing we can do about it but wait.

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Well - - -- Happy Monday, I guess. I'm so darn late getting here. I had a doctor's appointment first thing this morning and Gerry had taken today off so he could get the presents to the post office and on their way to Maine. After that, we ran to the pharmacy for refills on prescriptions, to the lab for a blood draw for me, to KS Rehab Hospital to drop off magazines for the waiting room, Gerry got some blood work drawn, to our Toyota dealership to add some antifreeze to our overflow tank and finally to see Ken at work to congratulate him on getting a 97% on a huge test that he took for work. This test will affect his promotability. Now we're home and hunkered down, waiting for the ice storm to hit. The Weather Channel, the radio stations and all 3 of our TV stations are full of doom and gloom regarding this storm." on 2:00:41 pm, Mon, 12/10/07

The last time this happened, it was '84. My apartment complex was without power for 5 days so I moved the kids and myself in with Gerry, since his apartment only lost power for 5 hours. We'd only known eachother for about a month at this point. Anyway, when my power finally came back on and we moved back to our apartment, Gerry and I decided that we didn't want to live apart but I told him that I wouldn't live with him unless we were married. Six weeks later, we got married and that was almost 24 years ago!! So who says you can't marry somebody after only knowing them for 2 1/2 months and have it last?? Not us!! Anyway, we have kitty litter, cat food, milk, bread and all of the other goodies one could want. Now we just pray that we don't lose power. (NT) -- Sandy, 2:09:51 pm, Mon, 12/10/07
I heard it was gonna be worse south of us and for awhile it wasn't supposed to reach us but now it is saying we could get the crud too. Seemed nicer today with the sn shining and no wind so I spent time with the dogs and then putting up lights on trees and shrubs. I'm a bit happier! Leon is doing well, he got out for a haircut today and went to work for an hour. Tomorrow I HAVE to get housework caught up! Hope you don't get it too bad! We have a gas heater in the catroom in the basement and one on the sunporch. We bought a generator last March during that ice storm so we are good. So, you 2 spent time together cause of a winter storm....you can celebrate tonight!!! (NT) -- Denise, 3:50:54 pm, Mon, 12/10/07
Stay safe, Sandy! Times like this I'm glad I live Yuma! Of course, I'll be eating those words when it's 125 and humid as hell come summer. (NT) -- V~, 8:50:13 pm, Mon, 12/10/07
