Hurricane Frances Threatens to F*ck Up My Training

[GoalGetter]

This is a womans prerogative isn't it?!

hahahahahaha!

 

[fantasma62]

Well, we're back over here.

Man, did this storm...er...actually, is this storm causing a lot of damage or what...
I imagine GG is Ok, not too sure about you David. Keep your head up and kick Frances' ass...
Electricity went out really for about 20 minutes yesterday and never left us again.
After some shingles falling off the roof and a few tree branches on the street, all else seems Ok...

 

[david]

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.

I didn't see that (for obvious reasons, too... no electricity) I wished I did see it!

 

[david]

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.

As Spanky of the Lil' Rascal's would say, "And-howwwww!" Yeah, I'm that old!

I think i can round up a few people and go check out the band, so long as it's a friday or saturday!

Definitely, that would be cool! I'll make sure to have our merchandise out and give ya some stuff to sport around in and listen, too!


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.

It was funny because after I lost power, I went out as well and those poor ugly ducks and birds still flopping around and stuff so I fed them bread from what the dog attempted to destroy!

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.

I hear ya but at least your with power! I'm going to fire up the gas grill (outside of course) and cook up the food that potential could spoil!

I'm so glad you all are doing well though!

 

[david]

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.

No, I missed it! What I didn't miss was seeing someone barbacue in the apartment! I was out walking aong the street and I saw these huge flames from a hallway so I went running over there and I'm watching these people and I say, "Is everything all right? What's that smoke and fire?" They tell me their Barbecuing and I said, "Where?" They said, "inside the apartment.

How retarded is that??

 

[david]

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

You've seemed quite charming and Okey-dokey to me so far! I think your pretty damn cool, personally! Let me know when your in those moods though!

 

[david]

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!

Hurricane Emergency Preparedness - Miami Style.

Mmnnn..... Cuban Sandwiches!!!! I don't about that cake though... kinda makes me thirsty though thinking about it. So, how was the cake, GG?

That's awesome about what your Dad did.... it's something I probably do, too!

Yes, I'm somewhat OK minus the card playing I did with my cute neighbors drinking Jaigermeister and Red Bull. I have freakin' headache! I'm here at work and I just finished setting up the computers etc. and have been enjoying electricity for the last hour! Our place is fine as I knew it would but the elctricity is just another F@cking story! I could breath on our Power system and it would go out! Yes, I am ticked off but I expected it to go out!

How are you and the family, Tony? Have you gone out to access any other people's damage?

 

[fantasma62]

We're good Dave, thanks for asking. Ya'll Ok over there?

You know it's funny you asked about assesing damage....

I went ouside yesterday to check on my house and had noticed that my shingles were losening up. Then I got a dose of reality. A gust of wind hit me and almost threw me into my car. Never did I see that coming....THat must have been at around 6:00 pm. Didn't go back out there until this morning. It all seemed Ok. I am not sure about my neighbors yet or my backyard, but I can tell you that I lost 10-12 shingles last night, and if that wasn't enough, as I was checking the front of my house, I got rained on. Not normal rain, you know, sprkinkles then rain, no it just poured right then and there and caught me outside like the ass that I am.
I am now on my way outside to check the back and the neighbors.
Lots of branches on the ground and one large one landed next to my neighbor's car. He got very lucky...
I'll go check and let you know.
Have you gone out to see what's going on? You guys got nailed and in fact should still be getting hit pretty hard by those feeder bands...

 

[david]

I'm outside and feeling the bands that's for sure!

What is up with Hurrican Ivan?? When is that suppose to hit??

Yeah I'm just hunky dory here. BOREDOM is the only thing I can possibly complain about right now. I"ve watched enough food tv to make up for all the days I haven't even turned on my TV. We are all ok. No flooding, no broken things, just a few palm fronds (fronds? is that what they're called?) on the ground.

Glad you and your family are ok, Tony. TOo bad about the shingles, but that's minor, compared to what could have been.

 

[GoalGetter]

MMMM. bbq. I've got two chicken breast fillets left. I've cooked like a maniac the past two days.

 

[GoalGetter]

TOo retarded for words! haha! Man, that's like one of the big fat hurricane no-no's! Carbon monoxide poisoning kills. Do these people not realize that? NOt to mention the fire hazard!

YOu should have called the police on them. They're putting other people's lives in danger, too.

 

[david]

Chicken breast is all I have left! all 10 lbs. worth!

Red Bull - you know? I'd never had red bull until this thursday. Courtesy of the same man who brought the five layer cake. At least the red bull was sugar free. ANd no, I didn't have any cake! Wouldn't know how it was!

Staying here has been a true test of my dedication to eating healthy. I have not faltered once.

Hey so is your power back? I gather it is...

 

[david]

You've got that right! I couldn't call out bc/ the phones weren't working!

 

[david]

Oh great..... the Publix is only opened in Miami-Dade!

 

[fantasma62]

Hey GG, happy to hear from you.

Yeah, I am glad that the only thing, so far, is the shingles. I haven't gone out back yet. My backyard faces 147th avenue, so I have nothing but my fence and a Sedanos to protect my house. The good is that my dish is still working and my tv is fine....

 

[david]

I hear all the restaurant's on Ocean Drive are now opened for you guys!!!

 

[david]

Well, it looks like everything in the south is somewhat back to normal.... let's just see what Monday brings with Hurricane Ivan!

I do KNOW this! I have a night flight to Orlando this coming Friday!!!

God, know what this is going to bring!

 

[Flex]

anyone know how Palm beach is?

My boy lives right there, and i saw on the news that took a brunt of the storm.

I tried calling him, but he didnt even pick up his cell.

maybe he got picked up and blown to Oz.....

I hope that he didn't get picked up and blown away!!!

WPB got walloped!!! They took a direct hit on the storm as it entered landfall and it staggered at 8 miles and hour so, the bands around the hurricane were just as stressful on the city as the eye of the hurricane. I hope your boy is OK and as for the Cellphone... give it some time. They've lost a lot of communications there!!

 

[Flex]

DAMN.
thanks alot David. I'll have to keep trying to get a hold of him.

your ok though, right?

 

[david]

Yes, alive and kicking! I, too need to find out how my friend's are faring up their in Palmn Beach County! Let me know when you can get through.

 

[Crono1000]

no one worry about me!

 

[MaxMirkin]

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...

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!

P.S. I can't take a joke.....so when are ya coming over?

 

[GoalGetter]

Glad you're OK crono! haha!

 

[david]

no one worry about me!

I WORRIED........................

 

[fantasma62]

no one worry about me!

Sorry Crono, I didin't think you'd get affected again....
I hope you're doing well bud....
