Thrive to spite them

I'm sorry for your loss Matt , glad you had a fitting moment today.

I called Dad, he is in Tallahassee so out of the path of the hurricane but he said there were long lines at the gas station and everyone was getting gas and he had gone to Lowe's to get something but people were stocking up so he left.

Mostly the worry there is down trees and power outages more than any damage but the storm is so huge who knows what damage it will actually cause.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, Matt, with the explanation that is lovely.

Best wishes to all your people, Laura. I'm so glad to hear B will be joining you! Warm thoughts to all everyone's people. All people in the path.

One of my customers with an open order is in St. Maartens. I can't imagine they care a whole lot about cookware at the moment, but gah I am going to do whatever I can for their order. I can't do much, wish I could do more.

Feel better, meara, that sounds miserable :(

WOO JESSE WINNING!!!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So stressful, Laura, but I'm glad the DH is on his way to you.

Jose, at least, is looking to take a hard right out into the middle of the Atlantic.

Our wings are not tired.

Awesome news! DH called my brother at 6 this morning and talked to him. Sister and brother are now headed to my house on the east side of the state where we have hurricane windows throughout, and it is boarded up. Son & GF are meeting them to get them situated and unpacked because both have physical issues with brother having MS and sister having serious mobility issues. Cat and dog with them. So relieved.

DH is in NC heading steadily northbound. Crawled at 15-10 mph the entire state of SC, but it has sped up now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, Laura!

You guys, I slept almost 10 hours last night, and still feel like I could do more? But am feeling pretty good!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm so glad to hear it, Laura. It must be quite a relief.

So relieved! Step-dad, their kids, and all the rest of the family too.

Watching the reporter in Ft. Lauderdale talking about the surfers and how they better get out of the water. Ha! DH#2 was born in Fort Lauderdale. Storms = Surf. It is in the blood apparently. They will go home before it hits. Most of the time the waves are not worthwhile, gotta go for it when it is an option.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My brother did a DNA test, and he emailed me late last night with the subject line "DNA preview". He didn't give me the full results, but he said we are 2% North African and have no Germanic DNA, which seems impossible. I'm tempted to call and wake him up to find out the rest.
