Christmas Countdown - 2012

[ballcoach]

BallCoach- Did you feel the earthquake?

Did I ever! I was in the cafeteria visiting with the kids who were eating breakfast...and it sounded like a rolling thunder....and all the kids got really quite and it kinda shook for a few seconds...talk about an eerie silence falling over the building....then once we realized everything was ok and it wasn't the big one (New Madrid fault), it was back to normal.

Coach, not sure if you already posted something about the game last night (little behind on the Countdown). What an ending! I was a nervous wreck! I went from being so happy thinking they won to a huge letdown! :grin:

I got in trouble. A foul word slipped out of my mouth at my mother's at the conclusion of the game. You talk about catching a look...my mother was HOT. But it wasn't anything compared to the tongue lashing I got from my wife on the ride home.

They just don't understand.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to check in quickly. Right now, it's raining, but not too hard. That will come tonight, while I'm at work. We're into the 50 or so mph winds - which is making the lights flicker - hoping the power doesn't go out, but that typically happens here, so we're prepared.

I have to work tonight, so I just wanted to check in to let everyone know all is still okay here. We haven't even got the "eye" of the storm yet. That is supposed around midnight or so. Praying for all of you. God Bless and I will try to check back tomorrow, to check progress on the rest of you. I have my phone charged, so I can check there as well, but I want to keep my phone charged as well for emergencies.

Keep safe, everyone!

So nice to hear from you, Jennifer and so glad you are safe. How is your grandpa ? xoxo

sitting here in my cozy living room, sipping hot chocolate, watching TV and catching up here. The wind is really picking up, sounds rather erie. Hearing some big gusts and we are still waiting for the main part to hit.

My potted mums have blown over, I would go and rescue them but it is to chilly and wet out there.

I have to go out one more time to pick up my daughter from work at 8:30 and then I can just stay here and relax.

Watching news updates about the storm, amazing how big it is.

Praying for my East Coast friends.....

Con ed is shutting down power in manahattan and long island sounds like it's under water. Hopefully Laurie bear and her family is okay.

DH just came in and told me a half of a house just collapsed here in the city and lots of people are already without power. It's really getting bad. I'm secretly glad he is home tonight and not out in this!

Good evening,

It was 1 year ago tonight we had that freak October snowstorm, and now today, Sandy is here. I worked until 3pm drove home there was a tree down across the road, the State of Connecticut shut down all of there major highways. The rain hasn't been to bad but the wind has been whipping around pretty badly our trees are swaying to and fro. Some branches have fallen off of our two large maple trees, we worry about those trees falling the most. I hope all of you and your loved ones are safe, I will be on now and then if the power holds up.

Stay safe.

Xmas, on the news today they said trees are more flexible than we realize---so they can sway quite a bit without breaking, so don't be too alarmed when you see the trees swaying. More easily said than done, though!

 

[MerryCarey]

made, sugar--- sounds scary out there. How awful.

You should how far some were swaying in the woods next to our house. WOW! I worry about the 2 maples most because they are old and dying, the tops no longer grow leaves.
Almost 200,000 without power in Massachusetts, only about 300 in my town right now. I think most are in the Berkshires.

Take it easy, just enjoy some down time.

Wow, lots of scary weather out there tonight! Haven't heard from my brother in Cape Cod since this morning. Hoping all are safe there! Keeping you all in my prayers!!! Stay safe everybody!!

Oh - that cute little kitten that showed up at our trailer at the lake - it was still there after work tonight. It is now in our garage (and it's getting some in house time too) - and I found a home for it. It is going to be a farm cat at our friends small farm. It will have food & shelter...and mice to chase! They named her "Miller" :smile:

Hope you are all having a good night, inspite of the storm!

I take that back, most outages are east of me, down towards you MerryCarey.

Just letting you know I made it home safely. We were the last plane to the city - then they cancelled all of the flights after ours. Thanks for your prayers. It is getting really bad here, schools are canceled already (not my college, of course) and the worst is coming overnight. Stay safe, everyone!
