Yup, I have one of those. I wonder if one of us was left on the doorstep cause we're as different as day & night. Only reason I know we're related is because you can't mistake the resemblance when you look at us.

Mine can not survive on her own yet she's a total vampire. Suck the blood out of all who come near her. Let me put it this way --- she's had 8 failed relationships with men. I can't keep track any more how many were actual marriages --- I think 5 or maybe 6. Yet she ALWAYS blames them! She of course, is as innocent as a babe.

HUGE SNORT

Could not use computer because of blips this afternoon. Lost power all the way this morning. I had worried about the tulip tree, one smallish branch hanging. It must have cracked earlier in the yr as the leaaves are brown. Storm then went north causing mud slides & then flooding in Montreal.

Well you are okay & apparently have power now & it seems the tulip tree is fine too. All in all not bad for what was predicted.

It is so great to have quiet this morning. Last night you could still here the wind. since the storm is supposed to be in Canada, it gives an idea how large an area it covered. People in NY city are compaining about evacuation now. They should be grateful that they are safe. Ask the people in VT about their damage.

I KNOW better to be safe than sorry.... a lady and her husband stayed in a shore town when everyone else left, their house was hit by a HUGE tree, she said "we realized at midnight we should have left but it was too late...we were stupid"
