Something About Nothing..........# 9

[Mad Hattered]

take the cats, wife, litter box, cat food, cat toys, kitty treats and a bottle of Jack for you and the Mrs to the basement.

all will be fine then.

We did all that except for the Jack. We took beer instead. It IS a weeknight afterall.

Thanks for the thoughts! We made it through but there have been tornados all over the place, and I hate to do it to you Minnie and Keisha....but it's headed your way. We tied a high record for today at 88 degrees f (that's like 50 something C for Bonny). It's currently 56 degrees and another round of severe storms kicked up which is really weird with it being so cool now.

My parents REALLY got nailed with the hail this morning. They live about 30 miles south and had tennis ball sized hail. It wasted their vehicles and damaged the roof pretty badly. Mom said she ran out and grabbed some pieces of hail (hopefully after it STOPPED hailing...but I'm not putting it past her) and she currently has them in her freezer. I will try to get pics of it. We just saw it on TV and it made me really crave a snowcone.

souveniers, souvieneirs, soveniers, souvies....
from APRIL....how kewl.
you can always count on a mom to do that.

i love the st louie weather.
how i would love to be back in that area again.
the t-storms are frightful there but once you get past that, it is great.


i check the st louis weather daily.
then i whine to Mr Mac how we should move back 'home'........
our weather sucks.
snow yesterday, in the mid to low 30's today, horid rainstorms, and mud.

I'm glad that you are here because you TOTALLY understand our weather having grown up here. I don't think people really get it that haven't lived here. The humidity is what people don't get (hence the T-storms and snow). People always complain about the humidity in Orlando but it almost feels spring-like to us because of what we deal with ALL THE TIME. Listen up folks....the heat index (humidity factored into the actual temps) gets above 110 regularly here. The Mouse has nothing on us.

What's funny is we just had a new woman start at our place of employment that grew up in Buffalo, NY. I can't wait to see her tomorrow and explain that she may be used to getting more snow, but our snow comes down the size of tennis balls and hurts alot more!

when we were kids, the parental units would say the weather in the st louis area where we lived was the arm pit of the country.
and they would say, 'if you don't like the weather, wait a minute, it will change'

i know the humidity can be as high at midnight as it was before the sun set.


you are so right.
floridians have nothing on the humidity in the midwest area.


when you grow up in it, you get used to it.
i enjoyed the weather there.
i don't like the weather where i am now............

it's like we have 2 seasons, winter and the 4th of July.

Nope - no sympathy. Not even a twinge. 9 inches so far here this afternoon/evening and still snowing. Broke the record already for most snow this late in the season. And so far haven't called school or even a 2 hour delay!

I posted a nice pic of my wonderful springtime commute home from work on FB but don't know how to post it here. Suffice it to say that it took me 15 minutes to clean off the car and I couldn't keep up with the snow and the drive home wasn't better.

AHHH!

Where is time going? The semester only has 2 weeks left before finals. FINALS are here already! How can this be? How can they be SO close and Universal SO far?! *screams*

No really Im not stressed out about school at all. However, my roommates cannot decide who is staying, who is leaving, when they're leaving, when we can sign a new lease, or if we sign a new lease. I really would just like to know where I will be living and with who soon. Thats all I ask.

Oh man, I hear you on the roomie problem. It would suck to be in that situation! I'm so glad I got all that sorted out before exam season

We thought we had it all sorted out. We were supposed to go resign our lease a month ago.. then everything fell through. One person didn't want to pay bills this summer another wanted to move in with her best friend, one wanted to move out in april another in may (next year). One's mother is going crazy... *sighs* I should know by monday if I have to find a new roommate for August.

The good thing is that the current lease is not up until July 31, so the current people are locked in til then. However, one is going home to Ohio and the other Atlanta... so signing a lease from there is nearly impossible from there. Which leaves me to tend to EVERYONE'S responsibilities. >.< At least I will practically be alone this summer.

glad your safe MH, if something would've happened what would I have done for my recipe fix???! Just kidding

And you did send it my way. We awoke about 4 am to the strongest wind I've ever heard around here. DH couldn't get back to sleep and kept chattering about the wind. Blow hard himself. Doesn't talk to me all evening because whatever golf might happen to be on and then wants to talk at 4 in the morning?? I don't think it's happening.

DH did officer's training at Ft Leonard Wood near St Louis and he talked about the humidity and how horrible it was--that's back in the days when he'd talk during the DAY.

Mac Did you save any donut?

Finally...school administration. The county is having a 2 hr delay in the MORNING not a 2 hr early dismissal in the AFTERNOON for Easter break. Duh...What's the point??


Wonderful Windsday

I just love your tagline

 

[keishashadow]

talk about food porn

glad MH et al is unscathed, funny u mention freezer. I've started to not refill mine as i'm afraid with all the unusual storm activity and power outages we've had might turn into one where the contents would be ruined. Last thing i'd want to turn in on a homeowner's policy. There's a rash here of people getting cancelled for storm damage claims, doesn't seem fair.

hump de dump all

They say the same thing about TX and its almost true. This year and last year we've had a week of spring/summer temps, then BAM its cold out. At least it didn't snow like it did last year.

Wow, what a mess that must be!! I hope it gets sorted out eventually.

My situation was kind of bizarre. I was planning on renewing my lease on the place I'm living at now, but my landlady sold the house and now we have a new landlord. The other tenants and I got strange emails that asked us if we would like to stay IF a room was available. We asked about that "if" because we didn't want to be left homeless at the end of the summer. He said that he bought the house for his daughter, but she might want to live alone. In a house with 5 bedrooms... That sounded too fishy. So instead of sorting things with the landlord, we just looked for another place nearby and signed a new lease.

Our landlord STILL hasn't told us if we are able to renew our lease, and we're already past the time to get a good new place. We haven't told him about the new place. We only need to give 6 weeks notice. If he wants to keep info from us, we can keep stuff from him too.

My tagline is actually inspired by RachelNinja's, haha.

Legally in the state of GA you only have to give 30 days notice unless otherwise stated in your lease. This is supposed to be 30 days in WRITING. They have something like 10 days to contact you about the security deposit return and if they say "no" you are allowed three days to dispute it. If they cannot provide records of damage that wasn't there before you moved in they have to return your deposit... that is if you dispute it.

Just be careful dealing with a new landlord. I used to be in that market and have seen a lot of people get screwed not knowing their "rights" in the matter.

Hope your move goes smoothly!

It also works if you leave them in your car too long. South ga heat is brutal inside a car. I'm surprised they didn't melt!

Mac - so sorry for your loss

I absolutely love Winnie the Pooh

... can you believe I've already booked some ADRs for our October trip - and we haven't even left for our May trip yet
