Pretend chat 2

[sibi]

I put in the average, about 12k a year. Yes, I knew that oil needs to changed every 1k miles or every 4 months. My hubby never lets me forget. He'll nags me to death if I didn't do it in time. I mean everytime he needs an oil change, which he has an alarm programmed on his phone as a reminder, he begins to nag me to have my oil changed. So, you see, my husband would never let me forget. Btw, Ken, those frozen roses look so beautiful. It reminded me of Beth Mitler's song, "The Rose."

Needless to say, the rises didn't fair vary well when the ice melted.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

I'll do it... Good Morning All.
Now to nuts and bolts, do we know anyone affected by the tornado in OK. Yesterday?

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh no...the dreaded double post disease!

I was wondering where in the scheme of things (because I'm no good at geography) where Nebraska, and our Jacqui, is in relationship to the tornado corridor.

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

I don't, but how devastating, my heart goes out to all affected!!

In CT this Friday there was a collision of two trains. It was pretty scary for awhile because we know people from our small town who drive to southern CT and take the train to NYC for the week to work and it was around the time they get home on Friday! They are ok, phew!!

I saw a video of this woman who was standing in the rubble of her home saying she was lucky to be alive but her dog was lying dead somewhere in the house, then the interviewer spots movement and goes.. There's a dog! So they pull the dog out and it's ok and everyone starts crying, myself included.

I really can't even imagine what they're going through. My aunt lives in Oklahoma and I haven't heard from her. I think she was further north though.

The power of nature at times is awe inspiring as well as awful.

I am right next to Kansas and Kansas is between me and Oklahoma. This happened about 5 hours away from me. We had tornado warnings, but nothing developed other then high winds, heavy rains and lots of hail.

What's oil? Lol. Sorry, subject change here. Remember months ago I spoke of a freak ice storm we had and that I'd taken pictures of ice covered roses? Well I found the pictures ;

Those are beautiful

We've got birch trees in the front yard that at the time averaged 3"-4" dia. ice had coated those trees enough that they were all bent over frozen to the lawn. We had eight as well as a triple group. We lost one the following year because the trunk under the bark had split and we weren't aware.

[Cowboy_Ken]

Hey! That was my idea!

 

[Yvonne G]

Jacqui: Dude looks so clean...and he has such a sweet face. In fact, if you could go by faces instead of tails, I might think he was Dudette.

That is an amazing story. I can't even imagine. We are supposed to be getting those storms today and tomorrow.

What a heart-warming story! I didn't turn on the speakers and just watched the video...waiting and waiting for her to find the dog. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

 

[Kerryann]

That looks like my henrito

That was a happy crying.. omg I teared up.. it looks like my biscuit and omg.. it was too sweet.

 

[CourtneyAndCarl]

That was so awesome, that she found her dog. It is so sad to see all that destruction. We get tornado warnings two or three times a year and the first thing we do is load up all the animals into the basement with us.

Are basements common in Nebraska?

 

[CourtneyAndCarl]

Very common, yes. A lot of rural houses will have an actual storm shelter but in the suburbs we've got basements.

 

[Jacqui]

So sad that so many children died not from the storm itself, but from drowning as a byproduct of the storm.
