Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[PolynesianPixie]

Wow Shannone! What a mess! Good luck!

It's nice to have you back, though!

 

[auntie]

I licked a pickle because I'm a ninja. Thanks, I needed that laugh.

My house was hit by lightning last night! We are really lucky though...the house is still standing! We're still waiting on the structural people to get here. We have some shredded wood in the attic and a hole on the corner of the house under the roof line where it exited and travel down the gutter down spout. It blew the phone box cover off and into the yard about 25 feet away! We have a ton of fried electronics....the surge protectors strips did nothing for 'em. Tv's, modem and router, my work voip phone, sterio receivers etc ..all toast. Strange as it sounds...the power stayed on...but the cable and phone are out?? Oh well, the kids are ok and the house is standing...so we are LUCKY!

OMG! I'm sorry to hear this. Thank goodness you're all okay.

 

[Gatordad]

good luck with that.

Glad you all are ok. A customer around here had there house hit by lighting and some how the strike put a whole in the gas flex line to the water heater and they had a 3 foot flame burning in the attic. Here is the scary part it had been burning for 3 days before they found it.

Why is it that we sit on this board everyday....slamming and insulting and belittling each other with no regard for each other's feelings....yet we all get along so well in spite of that. But let someone who, to MY knowledge has never laid a single post on this board get a little tickle of a slam and they get all bent outta shape??? If they are lurking, they MUST HAVE NOTICED that we are a "who can out gross who" type of bunch...sometimes the thickest people have the thinnest skin.

Go figure people sometimes just cant take a joke. Have I told you the one about the. Oh wait nevermind

i'm pretty thick. When I went to check in at the Fort, the clerk said to me, who's that behind you, and then said, oh, it's still you.

thats funny

HUH? I used to be able to keep up, but lately I am soooo not in the know!!

Well come out and play.

YES, actually We came back from 2 weeks of camping to find a dead bat in our bathroom sink and bat mess in the loft again . We hired a new company and the are taking a different approach. They are even giving us a 5 year guarantee. They are out here right now sealing up the whole house. Once they are done we are going to wait 5 days to give any that were trapped inside a chance to die.

Thank goodness for the motorhome...we are camping in the driveway right now. We still use the house during the day, but come evening we run out here. We should be back in the house by the beginning of next week.

WOW that sucks hope it turns out ok for yall.

Thanks guys. Yeah, we have about a 3 foot hole under the eve on the side of the house. The lightning found the metal on the gutter and traveled about 30 feet down the down spout before it hit the phone box and cable box. Just found out that the garage door opener is fried too. The guy is finally here now...so he's on the roof to find where it actually entered the house. We have a couple of rafters in the attic that look like string cheese...completely shredded!

Rog, Bud has a list going of all of his electronics! We have to have an electrician sign a lightning affidavit and they *should* cover it all.

So I'm playing on the internet with my aircard. VOIP service was transferred to my cell phone...so I guess I have to get back to work.

Thanks !!

Okay...we only finished up with school here on June 27th. Yesterday I received a "back to school" sale from Disney Rewards. Crazy. It's been all of a week.
Already getting the catalogs with the fall items in them as well. They really rush the seasons. I feel as if the summer just started, and here come the fall ads.

Glad to hear everyone is okay. We lost all of the electronics at our cottage last month because of lightening. Be sure to check your refrigerator. We thought it was okay because it was on, but the compressor got fried. Insurance covered everything.

please, please, please, find a REALLY GOOD ELECTRICIAN to check all the wiring in your house...my father does lightning strike repairs on the big sportsfishing yachts and it takes a while to find all that was "altered", no one finds everything the first go around...

Thank you both for the advise. We keep finding things!! Perhaps its a good thing that the electrician and cable folks couldn't make it out here today. We found the garage door opener and two dvd players that are toast too.

We only have 4 weeks until school starts again! DD9 is already bugging me about "back to school shopping". Since it hot here until late fall...perhaps I should humor her and go shopping while the summer clearance is happening!

 

[auntie]

Anyone heard from Debbie today? I haven't noticed her post. She's usually popped in by now. I hope her husband is okay. He was having a problem with his back.

Seems like we've ended a bit late. June 27th, and we're starting Sept. 3rd. It's a shorter summer break than usual.

Isn't it church night for her? Also may be THD night as well....dunno

 

[AuburnJen92]

By the way auntie, it was an honor to have you and Bob on our cart! Ami didn't join us on the cart until the end, so we put you right up front!

 

[Gatordad]

Auntie was alright, until her makeup ran in the rain that night.

your son squirted her before i got to pin her and bob on the tree...

 

[VACAMPER]

I hope that squirt was from a water gun and not part of his "outdoor plumbing".
