Morning peeps! I've been in the office since 6 a.m I didn't sleep much and being the electricity still hasn't come on I figured I was better off here. I Not sure I am going to make it through the day. There's not enough coffee in Columbia to keep me awake.

Sitting at my kitchen table. Work from home day. The office is dry and our equipment is ok but every way to get to my office is beyond underwater. the entire town is under evacuation. This is the worst we are ever going to have seen it. They dont expect it to crest until tomorrow sometime, and it is already as bad as it was in the storm earlier this year.

My apartment are is still ok.

Bluemoooooon...you saw me standing alone...

And you didn't even ask me to dance. What's up with that?

Boobs - Try Columbia's second most popular export. That might work.

I hate JCP&L...their recording says all electric will be back on by Sept.4th. Seriously??? Of course you can't talk to a human being.

I have JCP&L as well boobs. they just brought back a bunch of people today that had originally told next week, so fingers crossed.

I have to stay off facebook. A lot of people I am close to are getting hit hard with this flood. ugh. I have no way of getting east. I can go west and visit SOMMS but east is completely cut off (well 80 is open but is a parking lot. 46 is pretty much completely closed.)

As long as mom is ok though I should be ok. And now you know where I get it from - she wouldnt leave her bar until forced too.

That sucks for the Irene Adults! Be safe when driving!

(We literally have a perfect late Summer day here!)

Tinky, you can drive South...we'll find an open bar! Who needs electricity to sleep?

Morning peeps! Can I interest anyone in a hard boiled egg?

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 7:46am

Good morning! Internet presently up, but who knows for how long. Thought I'd jump online and do as much as I can while I have access. Anyone heard from SOMMS? Should we call or text?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 8:04am

I text him, but haven't heard anything yet.

[Q]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 8:16am

According to FB, he's alive but thoroughly miserable

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 8:16am

He just posted on Facebook. No power and no cellphone. He's not having a good week.

We truly are poddies. If it wasn't for the iPad I really would be out of touch. Luckily I have charges in my car for both my phone and iPad. I was sitting in the driveway again last night charging my phone, so at least I had a wake up alarm. How the f*ck did they survive on the prairie?

All I have to say is, thank god booze doesn't spoil.
I have to go and by a new phone tonight, since I have Verizon I think the Droid is my phone of choice. I can't wait to be incredible like Girly!

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 10:33am

Poddie, I have the Droid Incredible also...BTW I had it before that bitc....I mean Girly

A whole couple of weeks before... You talked me into it, btw, remember?!

Watta morning!! Since I'm taking the longer route due to flooded areas, I decided to stop at the bakery I pass to bring in a coffee cake for the peeps. Guy walks out, I walk in and order, guy comes back in and asks if that truck is mine. It is, and he tells me I have a screw in my tire. Great. I go to the closest place, it doesn't open until 8. I'm not waiting another 40 or so minutes, so I look on my handy dandy Incredible Droid to see where I can head to next. Want something close, since I don't know how long it'll be before going flat. Get there, wait a bit, tire is able to be plugged, so yay. Then it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get to work.

Very thankful the tire was positioned in such a way that the screw was spotted. One of my worse fears is a flat tire or blowout on the damn highway I commute on.

Sorry you boys are still without power.

Girly got screwed!

I just thought I'd beat him to the punch.

Glad all is a-ok with you G.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 12:22pm

Am I the only one that finds it odd that the guy was looking at Girly's tire in the first place? I don't even look at my own tires unless the light comes on in the car telling me the pressure is getting low.

[MotorTink]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 1:39pm

I always try to look at my tires when I get to my car. I'll especially be doing it in the next few weeks once I get on the road.

[gettinhep]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 1:53pm

Heck, I don't have a car. I would have to content myself with glancing at other people's tires.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 2:31pm

Hay Hep! I hope all is well *hugs*

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/30/11 at 2:42pm

Hiya Hep!

I glance at them as I'm walking to the car, but I don't usually look at all 4 unless I'm walking up on the passenger side. The guy next door walks out his door and every morning walks around the car and taps on each tire before getting in and driving away.

Hey, Boobs and Girly!

All is well. I woke at 3am with a cold. But, that is a minor thing. I don't have to battle flood waters or things of that nature. Is life returning to normal for our Irene Adults?

"positioned in such a way that the screw was spotted"

I suppose whether that's a good or bad thing depends on being the spotter or the spottee . . .
