Was the power outage due to snow or just overuse of the system?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

How can they tell? Some of those players are so stupid it would be hard to tell if they were damaged in some way during play or just dumb as dirt to begin with

[tioga]

No idea. Just an instantaneous flash and the computer automatically started back up. Just enough to give me pause. The power in the whole house went off in that instant. No unusual weather, maybe someone hit an electrical pole somewhere causing the system to flash like that. Didn’t hear about any accidents on the scanner though.

[tioga]

MRI imaging should pinpoint any damage. Good luck to them, though.

Jonah defends Christmas..mmm, a Jew who cares.

Wow. 7 years after the tsunami she finds her way home. Girl swept away by 2004 tsunami weeps after reunion with family

[tioga]

I have no idea, it was just a flash and the power was right back on. The computer had to restart itself, right in the middle of posting the ping list.

[tioga]

My continuing medical annoyances are still with me. I think I now have an ulcer. Joy to my world....

If a dyslexic exlex takes Xanax, can he still relax?

[tioga]

hmm, sounds like a dilema. A+++

I wonder how she survived the deluge. I had actually met a woman who eventually died in that tsunami. A very brief acquaintance, but I knew her sister a bit.

[xsmommy]

Where is soother? Hopefully safely arrived in the greensburg area by now. We woukd surely have an EXLAX post by now were he Present.

[tioga]

she was just 8yo at the time, now 15. amazing that she survived and that she found her family again. she only knew her grandfather’s name, but when she saw her mother she KNEW her. the mother knew her as well.

[tioga]

Last I heard from him he had snared a seat assignment to Pitt.

[tioga]

he posted that on Wednesday......so maybe he is sleeping off his flights home or Christmas shopping.

[Explorer89]

I cannot imagine how terrifying a tsunami must be. There was another earthquake in New Zealand. Hopefully it doesn’t presage another big one like last year in Japan. I heard that last year’s were related.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I’m sorry - I hope you get everything fixed soon!

[tioga]

there is enough misery in the world already, let’s hope we have no more this year or next.

[tioga]

I feel like an older car that keeps breaking down with minor annoyances....stinks getting old.

The voting laws needn’t be complex
But for Holder and O, it’s a reflex
Get dead dems to vote twice
While the live ones vote thrice
Makes their margin of victory exlex
