For the last two days, I think I've become a cat... with lots of sleep! Many that know me and read my journals knows that "Sleep" is NOT in my vocabulary. It's strange, I wish the gym was open, however, our complex is still open and I see no reason why I can't go down to use the treadmill! I need to kick in my metabolism while I have a series of days off!

I slept up until 12:30 am and did some research until 3:30 am.

Here I am awaken again and the winds are MUCH stronger. I don't hear the rain though!

Did you sleep well, GG?

funny - when I started working out seriously earlier this year, I went from a lifestyle where I slept like 3 hours a night, to getting a full 8 hours almost every night. At first Ifelt like I was missing out on stuff , but then I figured, this was more important to me.

Research? On?

And no. no wind or rain here. Man I think my parents' neighborhood is an imaginary place. I must have crossed over to an alternate reality or something. The sun is out, there is a BREEZE but not a hard wind or anything. Birds are fluttering about in the yard. Nice day to chill out by the pool And I might. Haha!

Slept ok. I woke up in the middle of the night and was like, "WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" for like a split second!

Just how do you know that? Do you speak for me, or for others?

That's a pretty bold statement, considering you don't know me from Adam.

Hey Stickboy, nothing against you man, in fact, sometimes when one writes stuff, it seems a lot worse than if it was a plain conversation. I am not sure if you meant the same but you sounded pissed off. You need to take a deep breath and relax....
I live in Southern South Florida, you know, where Andrew hit. I knew people who lost their homes and people who died in the storm (Andrew). That storm hit quite close to me. You dont know what is like but most of us that were here then do know and try to deal with it...
I have spent 2 full days putting up shutters for family and friends so that something like that doesn't happen again. I am tired and beaten up.
GoalGetter was trying to be humorous about this. How else do you want her or us to deal with this? Do you want us to hide under a rock and cry? Do you know for a fact that she wasn't nervous and was trying to deal with this with a little humor? Did you had to try to make it worse by berating her? I have two small children and was scared SHITLESS, but I couldn't show it because I don't want them or my wife thinking that I am not under control. Do you know how hard that is? The only way I have dealt with it is by laughing and joking around so that I don't have to think about the kind of damage that this type of storm can live on my 3 year old. My 7 month old won't remember....My brother was 10 when Andrew hit and he still remembers sitting on a couch that we put in front of our front door while the wind was trying to pop the door open.
You are in New Mexico right? Monitor the hurricane and just pray for the people who are going to get hit with the full force of it. That's all you really can do. If you have family or friends here, pray for them. The good news is that the hurricane has lost strength and is not as powerful as it was earlier. Still, this will bring lots of water here...
Either way, think about it, and take it easy on Goal Getter. It's hard enough to be dealing with all this crap around here already.
Once again, Stickboy, I am not upset or trying to berate you, I am frustrated and tired...
Hey, no hard feelings here. I hope the same in your neck of the woods...

Hey guys,


How about this? Electricity was gone for about 7 minutes at home and never lost it again.
I didn't log in because I was trying not to get my computer damaged. You never know what can happen and I just rebuilt it no more than a month ago.
How are ya'll doing? I have seen strong winds (not very heavy though),and rain. Not much more. My house is shuttered well, so the only outlet is my front door....
Was anyone watching WSVN earlier? There were two idiots riding out the storm in a sailboat and a yacht in West Palm Beach. They just pulled the Yacht in. I wish someone had beaten down this idiot when he or she got off the boat. They don't understand the amount of lives that they are risking.
They haven't gotten to the sailboat yet, a worse moron. I am awaiting a beat down.....
Anyway, we shoudl be getting hit some around midday today.
I'll be on and off until the hard stuff comes in and then be on after....when it's over.

I now know what 8 hours of sleep feels! :clap: I don't feel any better however, I know I'm not at work and getting paid for it. I just walked outside and it's the same. Just winds, though. Not much rain! Our power flicked off while I was typing in my journal! Hey, my South Floridian's, you think this and Andrew were bad, go to my last two entries of my journal!!!!!! TRUST ME! Well GG, I may have to make you have a relapse of sleeping 3 hours for one night because I want you to come out and see the band! :p Do you think you and your friend's can do that for me? :)

Research? On?

Yes, and I'm still doing it, too! Wanna help? J/K!

Hey GG, you MUST be typing in your sleep! Are you serious the sun is out and all that stuff? You're typing like your in Aruba or something! ;)

I've done that and it freaks me out. Worse off, I've dreamnt I was sleeping somewhere else while at home. Somewhere in my childhood! Strange!!!!

I know, I've helped a few neighbors and my work put up shutters and to know that those same people are going to need help taken them down! I think I need a vacation after all of this!!!!

Didn't get to see that because my Satellite is out. I wonder why? :lol: I believe thier are going to be a few "clowns" out there doing stupid stuff! That must be one messed up mother to be out in the Ocean! That's the last place I'd be unless I'm with GG where the sun is shining and the birds are chirping! LMAO!! You're too funny, GG. I really am starting to like your personality! ;)
 
Apologies folks, I guess I took your post in the wrong way goalgetter. I didn't see the humor in it, but after re-reading it, I can see you were just kind of blowing off steam.

So, forgive me for getting upset. Sorry for the name calling goalgetter, it was uncalled for and I apologize.
 
I Stickboy you are a good guy. I hope there are no hard feelings for what I wrote you. I didn't mean it as a way to lecture....

I am really tired and beaten up, so if it came out differently, I meant it as an explanation only buddy.....
 
How are things going out there? I assume you've still got internet access? I've not been following the news.

Me neither and I live here! :lol: My friend that just moved to Port St. Lucie has been glued to the TV since yesterday and last night he tells me to RUN for my life.

I see it like this. See the news, get the estimated time frame and then within 6 hours review the news again. Otherwise, just prepare and seek out options for the aftermath. No options? Well........ I've lived wt/ certainties before temporarily but there are always solutions. 3 of them are prepare, relax and be patient! :) :thumb:
 
GoalGetter said:
I was going to come back and tone my response down too, but then i fell asleep.

I wanted to say that I understand the point you were trying to make, but that I guess because I haven't ever lost any family members in a hurricane or other natural disaster, the thought didn't really cross my mind. I mean I really didn't think about that at all. It was just a whiny, little bitch thread because I've picked up momentum in my training and was determined to not miss a single session at the gym through october.

It was more of a "haha, would you look at how obsessed I've become that this is what I'm thinking about during a hurricane!" kind of thing.

Anyway, I sincerely apologize if you were offended or hurt by my comments. :(

Hey GG,
I can understand where you were coming from and know that your intent was not to be callous or offensive... everyone deals with these things differently... personally I deal with most things in my life with sarcasm and humour... it's my coping mechanism, not everybody understands! ;)
Anyhow, nice post and good for you for being big enough to apologize to those who did find it offensive. :thumb:

We've had a few flickers when the electricity goes out, but it's been on steadily. No big black outs or anything.

I did see the guy on the yacht. What a dummy. They were anchored out there, like to spend the storm out on the ocean! Can you be any stupider? These people either have no common sense or balls of steel.

Fantasma, where in south florida are you? I'm in the coconut grove area.

Same here. Glad to be home, getting paid for it. I was expecting a 3 day weekend and got a 5 day weekend instead. Gotta love that. TOo bad it's under these conditions though.

That was a few hours ago. Now there is a lot of wind, no more sun. scattered showers. The birds are gone, too :-( I wasn't kidding before, though. It was a gorgeous morning. For about 1/2 an hour, anyway.

I've spent most of the morning hanging with my mom, she gave me a pedicure, we watched Food TV and an episode of CLean Sweep, and now I'm just about to pull out my hair, i'm so bored again.

Did you see on channel four, the surfers out on pompano beach? That's NUTS! I mean, I don't understand the whole surfer mentality. Surfing is fun and all... but those hard core, die hard surfers... man. They wer having issues with the cops and everything. He's CRAZY. And like him there are a handful all up and down the coast today.

That's OK stickboy. It's a tough time down here right now, thankfully not as bad as it was originally predicted to be, but still very serious.

Emotions are running the gamut from delirious to angry to worried and scared shitless.

Hey redspy - thanks for asking. Things, as you have probably read from those of us giving occasional updates, are progressing... more wind, more water... nothing major yet.

Hi GG,

It'll be easier if you call me Tony;) .
I live in West Kendall....It's funny how the wind is blowing in from the west. We are in the bottom of the hurricane's area.
Aren't you close to water? Did you evacuate?
The wind is literally kicking over here...
I'll be back in a bit....

BritChick: Thanks. I'm bitchy but if I recognize I might have screwed up, I'll try to make it right...

Yeah, humor and sarcasm are my favorite coping mechanism. In person, you know when you can roll your eyes while saying something, or make a funny face, or just the inflection in your tone of voice can provide a clue that you're being funny. BUt i can see how that's all stripped away when it's just words on a computer screen. It's hard to interpret without the non-verbal cues.

I get in trouble a lot because of that, when I write emails and stuff haha... :D

Tony - yeah i realized that afterwards.

No i'm not close to water. I'm on the west side of US1, closer to coral way than to the grove. I just say the grove because it's a general poitn of reference for the area. If I say "Shenandoah" no one really knows where I"m talking about.

Yeah the wind is picking up but not bad at all. I wouldn't say it's kicking yet... No trees down, no loose things flying around. I'm surprised because what I see on TV is pretty violent, but none of that is going on around here.
 
Oh and get this...

My mom told my dad to bring some food home yesterday on his way home from work. You know, we're expecting "emergency" food - canned chicken, bottled water, crackers, whatever.

What does my dad bring home? A five-layer chocolate mousse cake and a flan, a sack of Cuban sandwiches, and two loaves of cuban bread. HAHAHA!:D

You are not too far from my sister, but she does live in the east side of US1, barely. She lives on the buildings next to the water. Somewhat close to Gables by the Sea. She evacuated and is hanging out at my parents'

It didn't work because it came at full force but not like Punta Gorda! If anything, I felt like I compelled it rather than scared it off. A lot of people thought I brought it with me bc/ I from south Florida! LOL!

I had to work in the west coast for storm Restoration after Charley. I was computer support for the restoration facilites. It was pretty bad. Not as bad as Andrew, but there was still some significant damage. I hope this one is not as bad. *crossing my fingers*

i feel bad for the bahamas though, the eye just kinda went right on top of it and stayed there all the way until it went down to a level 2

it's still pretty much just resting it's rump on the islands while it watches us from afar
