The Lurker Thread

[pwheeler]

So glad she seems to be resting



Good morning Paul Boy am I glad to see you!

Thank you, Dale . I knew it was going to be an interesting weekend. I think it's going to be many days before I can get out in the back yard especially. I have good runoff here, but with so much rain, and super saturated ground, we have a lot of water standing.

Paul before you go off the deep end put on some shorts and flipflops and go out in the rain,it's refreshing might as well take some soap along and get a free shower from mother nature

I could do that! And wouldn't even have to use the outdoor shower except for the privacy part of it.

Glad to hear you are good Paul. abit soggy maybe but to be expected

Thanks, KC. We're going to be soggy for quite a long time. We needed rain badly. The ground had cracks in it, but this is ridiculous!

Morning Paul! I'm glad you are ok! Soggy but ok!

Thanks, Chili . I don't know if you're catching any of the weather spinning from this thing. Looks like it covers almost the whole state by the satellite imagery.

From what I've seen you are fortunate that is all you're dealing with.

Yes, the folks out Houston way are continuously getting hit with the outer bands bringing torrential rainfall. Plus, the drainage in Houston gets completely backed up as the bayous that it drains into are over the banks. Nowhere for the water to go. There are people over there with water entering the second floor of their homes.

Good morning,lurkers

Glad you're not getting the worst of the storm,Paul.

 

[Sara Love]

Good morning everyone

Paul, so glad you are safe and sound! I agree, go run around in the rain like a child would, it is refreshing and gets you out of the house. sorry for all the standing water though.

Chili, so glad to hear about Mya. Continued thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

OBG, I didn't know you baked too!! Those look awesome. Nieman Marcus are very good.

Thanks for breakfast Dale, I almost snatched that while plate of sausage and bacon.

 

[oldbikeguy]

OBG, I didn't know you baked too!!

Yup,I'm not just another pretty face(sometimes I think I even spook small children and little old lady's)and they do go good with Bar-B -Que,next I'm doing a cherry cobbler

Second shift is on the job,Sweet dreams Lurkers

Sunday Morning coffee

Good morning KC, and thank you!!

​

You've outdone yourself this a.m.!!
Good morning, and thank you Dale!!!

We're all thinking and praying for Texas

Yes, that's for sure!!!!!

I'm in the middle of baking a big batch of Neiman Marcus cookies,guess what's for breakfast here

Good morning OBG.

No, there was a mess with the links. I fixed it.

Good morning R1.
So, I mentioned that DH went to Gateway Race Track last night to watch the Indy race.
As the beginning/opening events were starting, one of the BIG transport planes from SAF flew over....low.
Someone walking ahead of him said, "that's nothing special, they fly over my house like that everyday".

View attachment 682073 It happened

Oh wow!!!
I've seen that recipe, and *somewhere* I have it printed out, but I've never made it.
I might have to try that after we get back from vacation.

Mya is still asleep as are her 4 furry siblings and DH. I am trying not to wake any of them! Quiet moments with my morning coffee are rare!
She seems to be sleeping well and her breathing does not appear to be labored. Fingers crossed for a good day for her. She did eat last night which was a good sign. Maybe due to the prednisone.

Good morning Chili.
That sounds like good news for Mya. Especially that she ate last night!!!!!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping that the treatments will be successful!!!

Good morning, everyone! I'm so sick of rain!! 15 inches so far and another 9 projected for today. At least the high winds seem to have subsided. I'm going stir crazy having to stay inside the house all day and night. This storm doesn't want to move away. I'm just so glad I don't live near a river or bayou! Gads, I've never been is so much rain before. But we still have power and internet!.

Paul, glad for the check in! Sounds like you're holding your own there!!!
I can't even wrap my brain around that much rain!!
Hallelujah that you still have power and internet!!!
How did your pool do??

The flooding and damage is just so very sad. Keeping all of Texas in prayer!!



Welp, I couldn't get on ECF earlier. I don't know what the deal is sometimes with Google Chrome.
I could get the page to load, but the top part of the page that has the different links to "watched threads", etc. didn't want to load. Then, when it did, I'd click it and it would take an eternity to change pages.
I finally gave up.
Then I remembered that last time I tried Mozilla and it worked great, so I did that, and HERE I AM!!
No issue...so far, but I haven't tried to post this mega yet.

Here goes nothing....

 

[LoriP1702]

...it WORKED!!!
Off to find something for breakfast. Funny, I want chocolate chip cookies!!
But...I don't have any.

 

[KC0YNU]

Getting rain here in Kansas now, so I guess we can be soggy as well. just not as much so.

Needless to say, the pool was overflowing. I took the lid off the skimmer and water just gushed out. Left if off. I'll deal with it after all this mess is over with. Lots of leaves in it to clean out!!

That's good. Thankfully it's still standing!!
Of course, *all* that kind of stuff can be replaced, but that would be a lot of water ON TOP OF all the water you're getting anyway if it failed, or collapsed.

 

[LoriP1702]

Someone was talking about (around here) that someone's above ground pool collapsed and flooded their basement. I guess it was close enough to a basement window or something.

It's BRIGHT and SUNNY here. I think we have a chance of rain tomorrow, or Tues.

Ugh, the forum is NOT my friend today.
Missed quoting Fran and Sara, had a DEVIL of a time getting back here.
I'm about to give it up for a few hours...maybe catch a different internet "wave" later.
Not 100% it's the forum, could be our connection...or who knows what's updating in the background on my computer. I thought I had all that auto update stuff shut off, but may need to go through and check it all again.
Anyway, I need to get moving around an off my rear.
BBL.
