Dear So and So

[limewave]

I'm not sure its the Rapture. I'm a little confused myself. From my understanding, they believe a giant earthquake is going to hit Chicago, separating it or completely destroying it . . . I'm not certain. And there may be aliens.

I just did some googling and found some weird stuff that seems to align information found in relation to "Elenin Comet."

It's giving me the heebie-jeebies so I'm going to pretend I didn't read anything about it.

Okie doke. How do you know these folks?

They hired one DH's employees to move the sand. This employee asked DH if he wanted to help, make some extra $$. Dh went over, took a look, and decided best not to have a part in it.

oh these people sound really sharp Limewave. Of course if it really IS the rapture, the "lucky" ones will not become worm food, they will float up to the sky and disappear!

sandbags in their houses? oh wow...

Wise decision!

I think I could use some of those sandbags!

Dear Mom:

You live on the water, and there is a category 3 hurricane headed straight for you. I realize this is "too much stress" and you're overwhelmed. But, in the name of all that is good, please think about packing your crap in your car and leaving. Your yard flooded with the last storm - badly. Your house might be next. At the very least - please consider preparing for the storm - it's really a good idea.

That would definitely be a better use! Stay safe!

Are the windows lined with tinfoil? Or do they just wear the hats......

Please, hurricane, do not knock down the trees in the pretty woods that surround my house.
I just realized that in the last hurricane, my house was not so near the trees.
At least I live on the top of a hill.

Alright y'all on the east coast, have food and water for about 3 days - food that does not need refrigeration, and you can heat on a camp stove. You do have fuel for your camp stove right?

Make certain that if it isn't permanently attached to the ground outside, that you pick it up and bring it inside. Stuff left in the yard will become airborne, trust me on this.

Tape on the windows doesn't do diddly except make your glass sticky. If the windows rattle during the storm, make certain that you aren't near them.

Good luck!

Thanks for that! I'm hoping we won't lose gas for cooking. What's your take on that (town gas)? I have other things to eat, just in case, and several gallons of water, and I'll be filling the tub. I'm also doing laundry today so there will be lots of clean clothes.

My friend just put up a cute little gazebo. It was a b!tch to set up. I'm thinking I'll be finding out it is also a pain to take down tomorrow. She's thinking of just taking the top off, which is cloth. I'm thinking, it's going to blow away, so the whole thing needs to be dealt with.

They were expressing concern that they couldn't open their basement windows . . . DH told them it probably had something to do with the ton of sand on the floor above

Maybe this organization can help you out after the quake ... or aliens
