Bad Storm Last night

michelle2677 · #1 07-22-2006, 11:47 AM

o.k. since everyone has been discussing how the ledge has been dead lately-I'll add my 2 cents. Last night we had a horrible storm that left 35,000 of the nearly 40,000 residents without power (INCLUDING ME!!) Trees are down everywhere-several landed on people's cars as they were driving them. mmMMmmmm!! Good ol' Ohio valley. Approximately 10 minutes before our power went out, I thought to myself "hmmm..I better turn my computer off. I would hate to lose all of my music, etc." So relief for that, BUT!!! to add to the trauma-I dropped my cell phone in the toilet. Yes. Nothing better than reaching in barehanded to the place where you do your dirtiest business. I guess I thought the faster I reached in there, the less drenched it would get. Wrong. So I got to wait 2 hours last night for a new phone. And of course there is not a full charge on the new one. And no electricity to charge it up. I'm at the library crying the blues-so there

my addition to the loneliness that has been the ledge. But I have more to come

"I verily made it".
This drives me completely f*cking nuts!!!
The word is BARELY, you dumb hick!!!! Of course I don't tell them that, but they INSTANTLY go into the mental midget category, on the Rolodex that I keep in my head.

Irishgirl, why'd you type verily??? Enquiring (bored) minds want to know!

thanks for everyone's concern. We had 90 mph winds here, and we are still trying to clean up. No deaths that we know of. I think a tornado hit out in the county.

omg.....when I went to get my NEW cell phone, I had to wait 2 hours to get it because the dumbasses at circuit city (clients) did not know how to use a cell phone. This is what happens when rednecks get technology..."errrr...what happens when ya try ta take a picture and ya stick yer finger over the little camara thing" UUUGGGHHHHH!!!! and so it went like this for an hour and a half.

You can get internet in prison, right?? because I literally came l l <---- that close to taking a few people out.

Michelle, do you know the word I'm talking about- VERILY?
I swear, 50% of the people around here say VERILY, instead of BARELY. I cringe to my inner depths, everytime I hear it.
"I VERILY made it". "That lid VERILY covers it". Grrrrrrr......dumbasses.

We had a really bad storm last night (Saturday) and lost our power for several hours. I was on the computer when it happened and I was JUST thinking myself that I might want some popcorn...

So anyway, my husband, step-son, and I sat around in candlelight (the twelve year old had such fun lighting candles) and told ghost stories. Then, we got bored with that and played "I Spy". Then *I* got REALLY bored with that and went to bed. The power came on about 30 minutes after that, so I'm told.

Michelle- sorry about your cell phone. I dropped mine in one of the sinks at work- immediately pulled it out and then immediately pulled the battery out and tried to dry it off too. The phone acted f*cked up for several days, and I thought I would have to get a new one but it seems to be acting better lately.

Bad storm this morning! My TV fried after a lightning strike so I went to Wal-Mart to get a new one.

What a mess!

JunkFoodGenius · #11 07-23-2006, 04:24 PM

We had a little lightning and thunder in LA this morning...no crazy storm or even rain, but for we Left Coasties who rarely get the pleasure, it was nice.

Yeah, our thunder storms are as threatening as Romper Room...

Little California........I mean Bloomington(which, btw, was one of the top ten places to live, according to CNN this past week).
Bloomington is an oasis, in the middle of redneck heaven.

Crazy storms around Philly earlier this week as well, leaving amost 400,000 people without power! Lightning struck a tree in my bosses backyard! We were lucky, not losing power at all, but I think into this weekend they were still trying to get people's power turned on.
