Stop and visit, talk all you want.

Clinton has a wide swath of damage through the town. Pau said it was a mess. The man who mows MIL's lawn lost his home, all their clothes and material possessions and both cars. He and his wife had crawled UNDER their house to take shelter from the storm. The house and the foundation blew away above them but they were unhurt, thank goodness!
My MIL lives in a house that has two levels and both levels have bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom so she has plenty of room for these people to stay there until they can rebuild. They are really nice people and have been good to MIL. There is a driveway and entrance to the downstairs separate from the upstairs. It is like having two houses--one being stacked on top of the other--with ground level entrances for both. They can have their privacy and come and go and not have to disturb MIL at all. I am sure it will be a while before they can rebuild. Pau loaned them his truck so they could drive to a nearby city and rent some vehicles. Their ins. co. will only pay for rental for 3 days, though. However, they can use MIL's car because she hasn't been driving the last 6 months but Pau has to get a new battery for it. It really needs to be driven so they will be doing her a favor by using it until they can get new cars.

Anyway, there was widespread destruction throughout the state and in other southern states, too. It was a bad storm. :o(((


BTW, I emailed Terry because she hasn't posted today. She hurt her foot last night but she says it isn't broken. She is staying off of it as much as she can.

So sorry to hear all of that, Mau! But glad MIL and the other people are ok and she is able to help them out!
Terry, get better soon!!!

Oh, Terry! Glad it's not broken. Get back with us when you can. Heal.

Hi, everyone! Everyone made it through alive, I 'see'.

Back home from work. The store was dead tonight. Not much happened. I had to go in early and stay late. What fun to do EXTRA nothing! LOL But, that means I go in late on Friday. Woohoo! I didn't get my dinner so I'm going to get something now. Care to join me? I don't know what I'll have, though. Sugar? Salt? Both? LOL

I'm eating a Jimmy Dean ham and cheese croisant right now. :~)

Thank you Tammy !! I have now found you all again!!! I searched and searched and just could not figure out where everyone went. It will be the weekend before I can read through threads to catch up but in the mean time I missed you all!!

Morning girls!
LOL Marie, you are welcome! :)

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm here, but not for long because my foot hurts. Not as bad as yesterday, but it hurts.

I see Tammy learned to do Italics. Can she do bold? Or underline?

6" of snow here. Wrecks out the ying yang.

Need to go put my foot up☻

bold underline LOL
I had to learn it for the game! HA HA HA

Good morning, all! The sun is shining and it is 50º on my backporch right now. It got down into the twenties last night, though. Our weather has certainly been on a roller coaster ride lately!

I spent the morning potting up some of the little plants from my mini-greenhouse into larger pots. The little seedlings are growing like crazy and were getting too big to leave in the little peat pots. Funny how some of those seeds sprouted so fast and some have yet to germinate.

Okay, Tammy and Terry, you have inspired me to learn how to do italics, bold and underline here on DG. I'm off to find out how.

Here are my babies as they looked this morning. These are the ones that were big enough to put in pots. these are hollyhocks and zinnias. The others are still in the mini-greenhouses.

How cute, Mau! How's Pau doing today? Feeling better?

Good morning. So, I spent my morning getting caught up on some bills. You know, the monthly yuck. I had let the cats out in the back because they were cussing me and I was tired of listening to it. Two inches of snow on the patio and they want out! Isis goes into it for half a second and then comes right back in. Monty, however, has more fur and stays out on the steps. He doesn't like to get his feet wet so he doesn't go in the snow. Smart. HA!!!

Ten minutes later, I go check on him and he's nowhere to be found! "MONTY!!!", I call. I hear this tiny meow, which is all he does. Huge cat, tiny mew. I turn to my right and what do I find?

You're going to have to wait and ask what I find. Heh heh heh

I'll bite. What did you find? LOL

It won't load this pic. Now what?

Mau, it's easy....for Italics < I > and then < / I >, but leave out the spaces and do it only around the word or words, you want in Italics. And always add a space after the last set and before your next word. For Underline, replace the I with a U, for Bold, replace with a B. Just remember, to take out the spaces. It would look like < I > for the first part. On the last one, put the same, but add the forward slash, / . When you do your word, hit the space bar after the word before the bold or italics or underlined word, but when you're ready to make your first < I >, but don't add a space after, instead just type your word, then immediately after, type in the < / I >, but no spaces or it won't work right. Again, replace the I with either a B or a U, however you want the word or words to be. [B]Mau[/B] but instead of [ and ], you use < and > [I]Mau[/I] [U]Mau[/U] all using < and this > and not [ or this ]

Monty in the window-well.

Thanks, Terry Terry Terry


What do you know? I did it!! :o)

Celia, cats are such funny creatures. Their antics make me laugh!!
