Random Love (anti-rants)

[SKT]

Just sending out some love to all the folks that might be affected by hurricane Helene here in the states. We have friends in North Carolina that have been dealing with flooding and power outages.

@SKT same. Was mentioning to @Alex earlier that I hope our forum friends are doing ok.

[ROman]

I texted Ann @ sabergirl yesterday, she is doing OK. Her house nor her parents house was damaged, though there are tons of trees down in her area. There is not power or water. As mentioned on the news as well, cell and wifi service is limited.

[goosehd]

@ROman Thank you for checking in on her and letting us know. I was starting to get worried...

[sabergirl]

Hi friends! Thank you so much for checking with me, and your concern. We are doing fine. It is going to be a very challenging time as Asheville’s municipal water system was completely decimated by flooding and landslides. We expect to have our power back hopefully by Friday. It may be a month or more until there is running water.

We are the lucky ones! Our house had no damage, and we live in a very caring neighborhood that has become a hotbed of mutual aid activity. We are taking care of each other. We are both local government employees so we will be picking in with a lot of relief efforts in addition to pitching in around the neighborhood. There is a LOT to do, and we will keep busy.

Thank you for all of the love that you’re sending our way! Keep it coming. I will try to keep y’all updated as I am able.

@sabergirl Thank you for checking in and good luck with all that lies ahead!

@sabergirl so happy to hear you and your fam are safe. What a tragedy and I’m sure a very harrowing experience.

@Giles @Alex I feel you guys are slacking and I would really like to see you up your game…and no @AdamC and @AdamJ will not count:

I have just the song for them. Tight Blue Jeans, by a band called Switchblade.

[Giles]

Shame about her body....

@sabergirl wow stay safe. I love asheville I'm sure you guys will rebuild stronger than ever. good people, good food, good coffee and those mountains...sounds like someone needs to figure out the drainage on clay though if there is a next time.

We got our first snow storm of the year in Denver! There was about 6-8” over night and it snowed all day. Total of 8-10” with more coming later this week!! Carl and I are very happy. After work walk to the park!!

[endo]

wow @Mizmazzle and Carl seem to be very delighted again

[Mizmazzle]

@endo he loves the snow!! Finds it very arousing some might say!!

[Matt]

Snow boner?

[Matt]

Oh, now I see it. Wow.

[Mizmazzle]

It’s sort of a chronic problem actually. He had a surgery a few years back for bloat. Ever since then he has one sticking out about 80-90% of the time. Vet says some scar tissue may be the cause.

[SKT]

I vaguely remember the days of “80-90% of the time”

[Mizmazzle]

Yeah…I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous.
