It should update automatically every 2 minutes. You'll see. I assume you got it working, right?
If I had to choose one, I'd go for the coffee! ;-)
Does blam have a good Saferoom yet, or do we need to have a fundraiser?
I got awfully tired of hearing the wind blow last year, and we never even really got the bad part of any of the storms, just the edges of all of them.
Come on, you're bound to be more inventive than that; you certainly can figure a way to sit at the comptuer with that leg elevated!
Who said anything about that?
southeast Ft Lauderdale here...we've been without power for about an hour...not a lot of rain....some pretty strong gusts, maybe up to 75mph...
LOL. That is very true.
In fact, I think Rebelbase has a graphic JUST for that, doesn't he?
Me too, there are some advantages to being married for 25 years...the hair doesn't have to look good all the time...the coffee is a necessity.
I just don't have the heart to post it.
mrs clintonh8r was going to make some coffee to put in the Thermos for tomorrow AM....the power went out just before she got started...
Yep........thanks.
After this is over, you need to teach me some more about that thing.
I wrongly assumed the one you gave Howlin was the one I already had installed. It wasn't.
Yours is much cooler.
Oh come on......we could use a good laugh right now!
No saferoom. We need to have a Blamathon.
Looks like this one is going to miss our kids in the Pensacola area this time, but we will be praying for all of you on the other side.
Maria
Thank goodness, maria!
I wish I could. I've been sitting at this computer with the leg elevated since I broke it....but the therapist said that is not enough to get rid of the swelling - my foot has to be higher than my heart. In fact she also blamed the continued swelling on my spending so much time sitting :(
I just can't seem to win.............
