Ahh, the clock has struck midnight, and that darn lightning and rolling thunder, followed by hail and hard rain hitting the house, all while a noisy wind is now whipping the house. I am still awake. The storm has now seem to be leaving, but not the wind.

Have a good night all.

just think lynne if you were at monyk's right now, you would still be wide awake.
10 little men with the bd boy celebrating double digits tonight..

kind of like trying to sleep in a rain / thunder storm.

hope you can get 40 winks in tonight.

Ive never had a basement. I like to live life in the edge.

Kidding. We've always had weather radios that make obnoxious noises when there's a warning. And if there's not a warning well then... I'm probably not going to know its coming.

We've had a couple close calls, but nothing major thankfully. I think the worst problems we've had are power outages. During hurricane.... Francis? We were without power for 3 days-4days. Most of the outter areas were without for up to a week. Then there were several terrible storms my senior year and trees liked to fall on our lines. Big ole oak tree fell across (conveniently) every exit I could take in my civic without getting stuck in the "swamp" that was my yard. Mom and dad were out of town. I did not go to class that day... I would have stunk anyways. Without power we don't have water. Is it like that everywhere because people(vacationers) seemed to get freaked out by it... Not sure if that's because outages aren't normal where they're from or if water usually runs when powers out.

Hello and goodnight from Cape San Blas!

Another day of rental stuff tomorrow... then I get to have some fun I think. Well maybe not a full day. Only 2 houses not 12 like today. Goodnight all! Have a happy Sunday!

 

[macraven]

are you asking if vacations get freaked out if they think others feel they stink?

i say they should drink wine and then they won't even worry about it.

And PC, what phone did ya get? My kids had to teach me. When I wanted a flashlight, I asked my coworker how to do it on my phone. He said I needed an app. I was like, hmm, so texted my DD. All I had to do is swipe up from the home screen, and low and behold, a flashlight button. No app needed. Darn kids can also type faster on their phone than I can. Somehow I have fat fingers. Oh, and I had a duh moment when I wrote a mini paragraph text to my DD, and she responded with K. Her name does not begin with a K, so I was like what? Oh, okay. I am such a dinosaur.

And yes Mac, I should be heading for bed soon. Have a good night.

The 60 or so mph winds of cold arrive tonight, and with a drop in temps to below freezing to compliment the wind, we have a frost warning morning. Joy, right Keisha?

I got a 6s plus. I hate iTunes but my wife likes it so....yeah. Lol
Thanks for the help!

No, no. Asking if water is like that everywhere.. Water goes out when power goes out. My renters flip their you know what when power goes out, but not until they realize they have no water either. So it makes me wonder if I just expect that because its the way it has always been down here... or if they just aren't used to losing power so they dont know.

Also, I don't enjoy staying up until 2AM during rental season. People tend to start calling me around 9AM and meh... I like sleep. Now in the fall staying up until 3 or so is nothing. Saturdays and Sundays I have to be functioning and ready to walk out the door by 10 which means I have to start waking up around 8:30 because I hate getting up. So not getting off technology until 2 means I probably don't sleep until AT LEAST 2:30 and then my alarms start at 8:30...

pcstang did you try rebooting your iPhone? This will sometimes help with issues with frozen screens and blanked screens at times.

I wish it was that easy! The screen is literally falling out of the phone. I nursed it as long as I could but, it finally died this afternoon. To add to that, the power button on the top hasn't worked for a year now so I couldn't reset it if I wanted to!

 

[tinydancer09]

I do enjoy doing most of my thinking and world solving at night though. I also like to clean and do chores at night but ... darling sister? is that a thing.. shes not very darling. Especially when I try to do house work at midnight. HAHAH I need my own place. Have I said today that I can't wait on mom and dad's new place to get done?! I'mmmmmmmm dreaming... of a STUDIO APARTMENT.... just like the one I used to.... pin. Where the tree tops glisen.. and I really cannot sing. Sorry... Did something happen to the smiley where the person is throwing something and its ducking... cannot find it... For the record that would be my sister when I try to do housework late a night.

Then name it

That's it! Thankfully, damn iCloud uploaded all my stuff from my old phone so the icon was there. We head out Wednesday if you want to hitch a ride! You will have to deal with my 11 yr old and 10 yr old nephew though! I'm not in PC anymore. 15 minutes from the FL and GA border. I'm sure you can figure that out. Pretty sure you are about an hour away from me when you are home.

 

[macraven]

how can you live without your phone......

have you duct taped it to last this long besides the power button being useless....lol



i had a glass plate put in for my iphone 6, 2 months ago.
easier viewing of pictures and words now.

i have nothing in my iTunes app
and that is out of my choice.


hey are you back from kentucky now?

 

[pcstang]

thinking of starting a "when are you going in October thread" in the next few days.

i'll do a header and hold the second post so i can list dates and screen names in it.


that way if anyone wants to do a meet and greet, they can connect thru the thread or thru a pm.

and if many list dates they can meet up, can do a big group meet up.

sometimes people can't do a meet up when the majority can and feel so left out.

this way individuals can still catch other homies and chat at the parks.

what do you all think?

Start it up! I will probably book while I'm at RPR in a few days. Probably PBR for oct though. Gotta take advantage of that platinum status!

Yes, yes! I'm sure I visit a target near you very often. I'm 35 minutes from the closest target that's STRAIGHT down my road. I'm totally okay with kids. I honestly think I get along with the younger ones at that age better than some adults... I'm weird and kind of lame... they don't seem to mind at that age. I teach middle school dance and I love that age group. They're not quite mean like high schoolers yet, but no so tender hearted as elementary so they can take my bluntness. I also love harry potter, super heros, cartoons, eating junk food..... I hope you all have a great trip! I'm headed out in 14 days.

It was only completely crapped out for a few hours. I didn't want to buy new phones but...
Yes, I've been back for a few days. Heading "home" to RPR Wednesday for a week!
I hate iTunes! My wife was giving me a hard time about how bad my phone was today. Guess that was all it took for it to die.

 

[tinydancer09]

OKAY question! On youfirst it seems NONE of my stays are counting?! Maybe I'm wrong. My Hardrock one definitely isn't showing up.... my RPR in december is showing up but it also says it doesnt count toward benefits I believe. And I don't think my PBH one counts either. Is that because I use discounts... or am I doing something wrong? I use APH or FL res rate whichever is cheaper. In December I had a special code to get 50% off certain days and hotels.

Apparently I'm nuts. The HRH and RPR ones are now saying they qualify. But PBH does not. Maybe it's because I haven't actually checked in yet? Idk. Any info or insite is still welcome

HRH doesn't count. I don't think it's a Loews hotel. Mac is the expert so I'm sure she will set me straight. If I look online at my youfirst account it's never right. When I call to book everything is as it should be though. Not sure why, guess their IT just sucks! If you book through them or the UO site your stay counts no matter the discount code.

 

[tinydancer09]

Once I have actually gotten to a status level do you have to specifically ask for the upgrades or do they just give them to you? I can't wait for that late check-out. That will be glorious!
