Thanks! What I found was simply mind boggling and heartbreaking for the folks who live there and have not to make something of nothing. I’m glad this one is heading out to sea!
Mind boggling and heartbreaking is a good description, especially for Dominica. That’s a way-too-tiny island to be slammed by a Cat 5 hurricane.
This has been a terrible few weeks for so many people and I pray things are going to calm down now.
I pray that they do, too. The islanders need a break already!
Guess I’d best take a sleep break. See ya tomorrow night for some tuneage!
Have a good day tomorrow...hope it cools down a bit so maybe the humidity won’t be so oppressive!
Nite!
Not just the islanders ..... everyone who’s trying to put their lives back together after three large hurricanes have now ripped through their areas the past few weeks. Plus the people in Mexico who had everything crumble down the other day.
No cool-down for us for a while yet and the humidity isn’t backing off any time soon either. Maybe we’ll get some more rain out of the deal and that works for us. :-)
Catch ya tomorrow evening at some point. I don’t think we’re going out but Hubby might change his mind. Just have to wait and see.
Hope your day’s a good one!
Good morning ML ((HUGS))
Looks like i missed you by a hair, last night.
Hope you had a good evening.
Me, I was exhausted from a long day of painting. I was amazed a could stay up long enough to post the thread.
I do; I did. Used the heating pad and then Aleve for bedtime.
Good morning Beowulf9
Sorry I missed you last night.
WOW, thanks for that information. Hubby and I like our ice cream. What model do you have?
Good morning night owl ((HUGS))
Sorry we missed each other. I tried to stay awake until 10 our time, but I was fading fast.
How is Texas? With all the attention on HC Maria, I haven’t seen update on clean up in Texas.
In other news: Something is wrong with my Safari and fotki. I can’t see my graphics.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Good morning du ((HUGS))
What’s happening in your neck of the woods?
Good morning EG ((HUGS))
Just trying to catch up on pings before my day begins.
Howz things out your way?
Good morning Mayor ((HUGS))
Thanks for the GOOD WORD.
Hmm, I like lemonade, but do not welcome the “sour” things in life. I tend to cry out to God for help/answers. HE probably thinks I’m such a crybaby. hehe
It’s going OK. Going to go get a haircut later this morning and then Bo and I are going to the lake later today to hunt for turtles.
Hey EG.
Sounds like a fun day.
How is Bo? He’s getting up there in age, right?
He will be turning 14 years old in December. :-D
14? WOW
It must be all those turtle-hunting. :)
I know the feeling!
Good morning Meg ((HUGS))
Have a fantastic FReeper FRiday!
Hey there, Early Bird! I figured when I was running so late that I’d miss you. I keep trying to get on earlier, but don’t get home till 8 [9 for you] and then have supper and then it’s late.
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ with it.
The clean up on the Texas coast is going to take a very, very long time. There is destroyed household goods on nearly every street from Corpus Christi on one end to Beaumont on the other, the water is still standing in spots and is full of debris and hazardous nasty stuff. I have friends there who lost homes, cars and everything...some are FReepers...and it’s depressing to have to start completely over. Some other friends and family came through it unscathed...thank God for that. But Texas is strong and we have a Governor who is doing everything humanly possible to get things done to make it better. God bless Gov. Abbott and God Bless Texas!
