Hurricane Gustav:Is everybody ready?

[Fotno]

I think we're as ready as we can be.
If anybody gets in a bind don't hesitate to call,e-mail,holler at me.
I've been known to head out into storms to help folks.

[SoMissTV]

I can't think of anything else I can do.

Except pray. We should all do that.

[Honey]

I think we are ready. I forgot to fill-up again though. I filled up the first of the week but it is almost gone. Oh well.

[threekidspa]

Yep, well, at least as much as I've thought to do or was suggested that we do, so it's kinda out of my hands now.

Same goes here. If anyone gets in a bind, they can give me a call too, and I'll do everything I can to help.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Ready as I can be, I guess.

[optimistik1]

I can't thank you enough for everyone who has contributed to making us all as ready as we can be....

Praying commences!

We're going to be just fine....*that's what Optimistik people have to say*

[Hawkeye]

bout as ready as I can get. anyway, i'm too tired to worry about it anymore and will take it on a first come basis from here out.

[rollinthunder]

We're ready...and the wind and those dark bands are passing over the house now. I'm wondering how long we'll have power...

[carsalesguy]

i've got all the cars moved-

power inverter in place-

ready to take it on right now-

got some severe weather coming in according to WDAM

[optimistik1]

[katzeyez]

I don't know if I'm ready or now, the family showing up threw me for a big ole loop, now I'm cleaning to keep my nerves in check.

[rollinthunder]

It's hard to stay calm after living through Katrina 2 blocks from the gulf but level headed thinking...and resources for help are in order...I am defiantly available to help...at any time...my cell number is available to any one who PM's me...

[Queen Mother]

I'm ready. Food bought, batteries, candles, gas in car, ice in cooler, lots of bottled water, etc. Brookhaven is expecting strong tropical force and perhaps low hurricane force winds, lots of rain. I think we'll be fine.

[optimistik1]

Hello Queen Mother...glad you checked in!
Stay safe...we're here!

[BassCatter]

Ready.

[Hawkeye]

Its nice rat now. I see stars. Either the wine kicked in or Nana knocked hell out'a me.

[carsalesguy]

Its nice rat now. I see stars. Either the wine kicked in or Nana knocked hell out'a me.

probably the latter

[Nana]

Its nice rat now. I see stars. Either the wine kicked in or Nana knocked hell out'a me.

Not yet but it's early in the game so don't rule it out. :p

[Fotno]

This is kinda like the pre-game show ain't it.

[Nana]

Yeah, I don't like any more than the pre-game shows either.

[Guru]

Everything that can be done has been done, everything that can be bought and stocked has been purchased, lessons learned have been reanalyzed, all the pieces are lined up on the board and prepared to commence.

[Fotno]

Shazam!
I found 2 old coors lites and a miller lite in the fridge.
Party over here.

[Guru]

Old beer is like bachelor food, if it's available it's good.

[BassCatter]

Tilting a Lite in your direction Fotno.......... Here's to you! Cheers

[Fotno]

When you find beer that you didn't know that you had is truly a magical moment.

[BassCatter]

I bought two cases yesterday just for this occasion.

[Fotno]

Durn.
My wife was more concerned about us buying water for some reason.

[threekidspa]

bourbon is better. you don't have to keep it cold. :D

[Guru]

I keep a few old dusty things in the cubbard. I don't normally do it but I think I will go knock the dust off something very cold that is stocked in the bottom of the frig.

[BassCatter]

Didn't she read the post I put up about filling water jugs before the storm from the tap???????

[katzeyez]

The beer certainly worked better than the xanex!

[Fotno]

Didn't she read the post I put up about filling water jugs before the storm from the tap???????

We did that already.

[Ted]

Not yet but it's early in the game so don't rule it out. :pMmmm - - go ahead and take a couple'a practice swings.



:D heh heh heh

[rollinthunder]

Beer...and bourbon.....what's wrong with that?
