They just covered your storms on our local channel. They must be pretty bad. I'm in Va.

 

[VACAMPER]

Here's a picture somebody took of some of the hail tonight.

There are a lot more storm pictures here: http://community.myfoxdfw.com/photos/viewcategory.aspx?category_id=2.

OMG!!

 

[VACAMPER]

I hope you have a garage or at least want a new paint job.

The heaviest of the storms have already past. I do have a garage and a 1000 sq ft shop. But the only car that is under cover is a '69 Barracuda that doesn't run and needs to be restored. It's the trailer that really takes a beating, even in light hail since ours is aluminum sided.

 

[VACAMPER]

oooh! A barracuda. Nice. I'm glad the storms are passing. Maybe you'll be able to sleep now.

 

[kc5grw]

Yea, I'll be going to bed soon. I hope the ER is able to see your DD soon so they can get home and you can get some rest too.

 

[VACAMPER]

I'm sure they will be home soon. Sleep tight. I'm gonna let Jay Leno entertain me for awhile.

 

[kc5grw]

Uh oh. Talladega Nights just came on Encore and I haven't seen it yet.

 

[VACAMPER]

Good movie. Prepare to laugh.

 

[kc5grw]

I just pressed record on the DVR. I'll save it for later this weekend.

 

[VACAMPER]

Good! Now go to bed.

 

[kc5grw]

G'Night everybody.

 

[VACAMPER]

Everybody? I'm the only one here. Good night

 

[ynottony99]

I am going to bed, and sleeping for 8 hours, straight through!!!

Good morning, everyone!

kc5 - I hope those storms passed w/o any incident to you!

VA Camper - Is your little one okay??

Okay - when it rains, it pours around here (not weather). DH has been job hunting since November. I have half-heartedly put in bids for full-time & part-time jobs.

In March, I started part-time @ Home Depot.

Today, I have an interview with Geico.

Yesterday I received notification to test for a position with the USPS on May 1st.(It's a custodial job & I might just go for it - $17/hr to start)

Me - (who really doesn't want to work full-time) has 2 PT jobs & 2 interviews for good paying FT jobs.

DH who wants a good paying FT job = 0 interviews.

What's wrong with this story??

Man, Deb...you guys are having such a tough time....I could teach him to DJ!!! Experience not neccessary, knowing when women are blowing smoke up your a$$ is a major plus.

Damn! Gas went up $0.10 a gallon in 1 day. It's $3.61 now. It'll be $4.00 by Memorial Day, I bet. We have several long trips coming up not to mention the several 200 mile round trips to see the MIL. Boy, I'll never be able to retire at this rate!

The secret - motorscooters. I get 100mpg with mine. May not be real practical for you guys in Buffalo with only 3 weeks of summer, but I run my errands around town with mine for about 4 bucks a month. Also gives you an excuse to not visit the MIL - who wants to ride a scooter 200 miles?

 

[ntsammy5]

Yeah, I've thought about that. I do use the bus to commute to work though. That saves a lot.
