Got Something You Want To Say?

As of yesterday, still no power. But Enna (and her cats) were doing okay. :thumbsup:

Edit: Got an update about 8:15 a.m. today:

It is day #8 and still no power, but the good news is that I get to vote today! I enjoy voting! I am well and safe and so are my cats. I really am getting used to my colder house. lOL! I am still using the library computer.

It's a relief to hear she's well.

Yes, on Wednesday I realized that it was highly likely that she wouldn't be able to fly into NYC For perhaps another 3 or 4. Days in which case she would kill me or I would kill myself. Her flights kept getting rescheduled and canceled. She and I were on the phone and Internet continuously. Anyway I had a sudden brainstorm and suggested she fly to Washington. My brother lives there. She spent a couple days there until the road travel conditions lightened and made it home on Saturday.
Aftershe left my husband and I slept for 12 hours. :beaten:

She was super lucky. Her place was unaffected by the storm. My sister lost power for a few days and stayed at Moms . My cousin still has no power in Nyack, just across the river. But his place is fine. It's such a mess up there. Those poor people. Wonder how Enna is.

Glad Mama Bear and her abode are both safe.

Glad the elections are over. No more annoying tv ads and no more coming home to find my mailbox flooded with junk mail.

Shiiiii....I wish the later where true! I get advertising circulars and marketing crap from stores and businesses all the damn time.

And those harassing phone calls at dinner time. :grumble:

Personally, did not receive those on my cell, but my parents told me they were getting them on their land line. :sweat:

Yeah, all the calls I got were on my land line as well... What a pain.

Enna update:

She got her power back finally - just a little while ago - but the cable connection to the tv and computer are still out - but she has heat coming up and hot water as well. :woot:

Im so glad. I was worrying about her. :D

My cousin,s power just came up again yesterday.

I'm so glad Enna is okay!

I'm really frustrated with our news. There has been very little coverage, if any, on what's happening in NY. At first I thought it was because everyone was so focused on the Elections, but now that they're over, there's still no news about aftermath of the storm.

I feel the same frustration. Except for the local NYC stations not much is available. Even googling specifics is difficult. My sister went down to wall street the other day. Closed buildings all over. It's just a mess.

@ Tu- Mama was surely a bear when she was stuck in the South, lol.

Mitt got really depressed lately. Not sure why.

I was able to find lots of news and pictures of the damage on Long Beach Island and Seaside Heights in New Jersey. I am totally shocked because I used to go down to Beach Haven most every weekend when we lived in Bucks Co. PA and the island was like a different place altogether. There was only the one causeway onto the north end of the island. Once there you were in a new country and it was heaven. No large hotels and no great commercial stuff. Just houses and rentals and people enjoying the beaches and having a really laid back summer. When I saw the first hurricane pictures it was like a totally different world. No beaches just sand dunes up over the main drag. Houses in shambles and nobody in sight except a few authority people. It must be the most awful shock to people who lived or rented there. Even if they rebuild, it won't ever be the same. That was all like nineteenth century feelings gone away. All that was there will never be re captured. I am so sad. It was part of my life and it's gone.

Maybe in the Arashi thread.

All things are possible..... ;)

Monday has come and gone, and to the surprise of no one, nothing has changed.

Last Wednesday I went to the LA Opera for my first time to see Italian composer Puccini's Japanese tragedy, "Madame Butterfly." It was wonderful. Kind of ironic my first experience at the opera happens to be the one of a Japanese love story. Go figure.
