View attachment 191906
Here's a pic of hubbys cactus. I think they are called queens of the night. The blooms open at night then close in the morning. Was able to catch the blooms before they closed.

Appreciate the sun thoughts...........it's still bouncing down........don't need to worry about watering the new trees.......lol........just worry about flooding now.........our pond sometimes floods, but touch wood the drainage works just fine! But, it hasn't stopped raining all day..........

Nice plant Robo..........glad your weather has been OK for you............


Chinese was lovely......really enjoyed it! Now about to watch The Conjuring...........love that movie!

Hello to mcjw2011............

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Oh Sharky, I hope your little fur baby is feeling better soon. Poor dog. My lab was allergic to grass pollen, so she had red eyes and hives all over when it was that time of year. Maybe your guy was allergic to a spider bite or bee/wasp sting?

Overcast day, and maybe some rain on Monday as they think the storm will hang around just offshore. Some are saying it could be another Sandy for our shore. I hope not.

Enjoy this Saturday and stay dry and safe all you homies in the storm's path.

Thanks Lynne! He's bouncing back, thankfully.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Was he wandering around in your yard? Wondering if perhaps a snake or other varmit vs allergic reaction. We're near woods and get our share of creepy crawlies. Our pooch goes after them when she sees them, has thick double coat of fur but now & again they 'strike home'. Have done of our share of visits to vet as the bites tend to get infected easily. Anyway, hope your little furballl is doing better now

He was, and I'm thinking wasp or recluse based on how fast the swelling was. We're in the city so thankfully no poisonous snakes (or at least highly unlikely).

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Glad our mac is back safe and sound...youse was missed

@SharkeyGoddess try looking up wolf worm on Google and see if that sounds like what your pup had...nasty things that hatch on pets...I had a dog and cat that got one...not for the faint of heart.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend

Never heard of them! I'll google the evil things!

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Home late last night and will reply more to all when I am on my iMac

But for now I missed all the homies here very much!

TinyD hope you are safe now and let us know more when you can

A mess leaving late yesterday from Gainesville
Workers were out to remove fallen palm trees at brothers apt complex
It stormed all thursdY night to early morning Friday

Windy And rain on my 75 drive
Valdosta and Macon had road issues
Could see fallen trees and branches

Driving in the wind was something I dreaded

Home now and today I get the luggage out of the car

Later homies

Glad you're home safe Mac!

 

[schumigirl]

Never heard of them! I'll google the evil things!

You're braver than me.........I read wolf worm and thought I don't want to know about that!

Glad your dog is doing better...........not nice.

 

[macraven]

Thanks Sharky
Hope doggie improves each day


Schumi.....
Hope your newly planted trees did not wash away with all the rain you received

 

[schumigirl]

Schumi.....
Hope your newly planted trees did not wash away with all the rain you received

Yep, they should be fine I think.........we have something around them to hold them up till they grow a bit........but they certainly won't be thirsty..........

Are you all settled back home now? Always nice to get back into your own bed..........

 

[macraven]

I'm home and someday will be settled in here

Still have two rooms of boxes to sort out
Hahahaha

Sleeping in my bed is the highlight of returning home

Stayed at brothers plAce and he doesn't have a couch so I did all my nights there sleeping on the floor

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Glad our mac is back safe and sound...youse was missed

eeeewwww.... We never saw anything, other than the sudden swelling and subsequent pop. He was in my lap, but facing the other way, so maybe I missed something popping out? *shudders*

 

[Lynne G]

Eww, worms? What ever little shark doggie got, I am glad to hear he is feeling better.

Mac, glad to hear you made it safe and are home. Agreed, I always like sleeping in my own bed, well also using my own pot too. Hope you were not so waterlogged.

Cool night, but a pink enough sunset, we should have a nice enough day tomorrow. It was nice enough today, almost cool enough for a jacket. Some of the stores felt cold from the AC running. Glad mine is not running nonstop these last couple of day.



With that, college ball is generally the only good thing on TV. I am chilling. Night all.

 

[buckeev]

Did y'all homeez enjoy our little "gift" from the Gulf?

Mac.. you High-n-Dry...and recoupped yet?

 

[macraven]

Did y'all homeez enjoy our little "gift" from the Gulf?

Mac.. you High-n-Dry...and recoupped yet?

Yes and no
It rained a lot during the funeral so you could not tell if it was rain or tears on my face

And the gift of all that rain/storms allowed me to stay in Florida longer

Granted that time was spent in an apartment which seemed like a good vacation for me

No cooking or cleaning on my part
Lol

Now that I am home back to life
and cooking and cleaning begins Monday for me

Did kfc take out tonight
Thinking tomorrow's food will be fast food

As long as I have a cc, will be using it
Lol


Good to see you homie
Wish you were going to the darkside this October

 

[Monykalyn]

How we needed the night- MIL new villa has a hot tub. Great day here- enjoying it now as our farmer friend said almanac and the elders said we are in for a baaad winter.
Hope those with the storm path are safe and dry!

We had an earthquake here this am apparently- I slept they it but DH felt it.

 

[macraven]

Earthquake as in the movie?

Now that would be kewl.....

Kind of like a vibrating bed
Like being on a coaster ride in the park

 

[RAPstar]

I was asleep and felt no earthquake lol

 

[macraven]

Though it happened in Oklahoma

I need to google it


I google everything

I'm a hour a 15 minutes west of tally in the SE corner of AL. We didn't get a drop of rain or wind. I was hoping all your renters were ok. We got lucky but I could use some rain...FSU plays Monday night! I think you have your days mixed up! Lol

Go Dawgs man.

And I'm glad to hear! I was thinking you were much closer to Tally.

Vain enough to not want to go out of house without a bit of eye makeup. Probably not a good idea with eye still bit of oozey mess. Don't wear much makeup but unless I have at least a smokey eye, feel quite nakie.

TD - eek, had thought u might be far enough west to skip the mess. Can't believe you'd have to send people home...as in I'd have high-tailed it out already! Do your peeps buy rental/storm insurance of the type that reimburses them if a declared storm is predicted?

They can... but they don't most of the time. We only refund when we tell them to leave or in the event of evacuations. There were only voluntary, but we didn't want to get stuck with a bunch of people who weren't prepared to be stuck you know? It was really in their best interest. You never know if the guests have health issues, went and got preparations, know that the water and electricity can be off for days and days and no way to get out..... I can only imagine if it went the opposite. Not send them home and then it hit us? Yikes. We're refunding the people that left for the 2-3 days they missed due to storm.

Also on the eye... I get styes every so often and I feel the same way... I put mascara on even though I shouldnt and will put eyeliner on everything except directly around the stye... Unless it's really bad then I just deal with it. "Are you feeling okay you look washed out." "No this is just my natural face thanks." lol

Home late last night and will reply more to all when I am on my iMac

Lots of people have roof damage and cars totaled in Valdosta. Didn't know Macon had issues though.
What more you wanna know about the storm. I could talk about it for days , but I won't.
Hoping that's the most excitement we get this year. Glad you made it home!!! Been worried about you driving around down there as I didn't know for sure where you were.

 

[tinydancer09]

TinyD is being paged
Check in please

Are you still having rain?

No we're done. We were done around 10AM yesterday. There were some scattered storms today, but nothing to do with tropical.
Can you guys see this link? Thomasville is marked. We're the square with a smoke stack and I'm just above the middle.

That last section that went through valdosta, the stuff with the red and the yellow that covered all of lowndes county is what got them. Got some messages from a friend that night saying they could hear trees dropping like flies. around 4-5 AM.

Glad you made it back safely Mac. Enjoy your bed tonight.

We only had rain at my house - lots of rain. (I'm a little east of Augusta, GA). We never had high winds or tornados or anything other than rain and a little breeze. I lost power for a bit anyway though. We were on the west side of the storm and I had read the east side was far worse. The rain did a good job of cooling things down - I was able to open my windows this morning for the first time in many, many months. It was cool enough for a few hours. We needed ac on by noon, but it was nice while it lasted.
