Oh well, let's try, this one is for Heidi!

Today did get slightly above freezing for Heidi, I checked the weather up there. Still not warm by any means, but hopefully enough to melt some of the ice and snow. As someone pointed out on easy today, icicles can be dangerous, they can fall from treees and buildings and you do not want to be under them when they fall. They can do serious harm.

So, as you can see, they will not get power back for days or even weeks, it is not gonna be over soon for them. I so wish I could somehow help them, you know? Heidi especially, but all the people up there too.

Suzy, I am sure there are other stations, they need power to operate. The government asking them to go south was small town, rural and I am sure they do not have a lot of resources. The federal government has not got there yet FEMA, federal emergency management, cause the roads are not good. DUH, they never are in an emergency.

We are told here, for any emergency or disaster, be prepared to be on your own for 3 days. That is a Joke, better make that for a week or more. I still need to add a chain saw to my emergency preparedness supplies, and I need to find some way to KEEP gasoline for generator, and kerosene for heaters. the gasoline gets used for lawnmowers and not replaced. OK, got a big tank in auto, but need a siphon hose to get to it!

I guess we shall see if this new government and this president can handle a disaster, get relief to the people any faster than George W's government did.

Sigh. I feel powerless. Fires in Victoria, heat heat heat in Victoria and Adelaide with power supplies threatened... Freezing people with no water in Kentucky etc...

Other stations that have gasoline, I meant

i read between the lines MizT.

Hubby and I are off for a rare night out. We're going to see Jon English - which probably means nothing to topsiders, but dugs will remember him.

Off to make myself beautiful... it will take a while!!!

Have a great day/evening everyone!

Have a beautiful evening Suzy.

Much nicer conditions here at the moment. Have every window and door open letting the heat out and the cool in. NOICE!

Had a very tres ples afternoon with Mary, Vic, Judy, Rob, Bean, Lachie, my hubby and two daughters. It was very stuffy inside but just after Mary and her hubby left, we went out onto the verandah and the cool change had just started to go through. SO thankful!

Photos were taken, but no video I am afraid. We are all looking a little melted here at the mo.
Will put the pic up on my page...when I remember how to!!!

Wow no posts in over four hours? See the average temp in Melbourne is around 23deg hope you are all OK. Good vibes going to Heidi.
Ohhhh Zusy, going to see old black eyes and you do look bootiful!

Trust Dag to beat me.

What does that make me...chopped liver!

Ah I see, that would make me daggy chopped liver!

Thanks for resending that email Dag.

Don't they hang off sheeps butts???

ewewewewewewewewewewew!

White page of doom again.
The pics up yet Dag?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stop hassling me!
It's hot man!
Tomorrow...ok?

Okey Dokey! Get out of the engine room.

It was wonderful! Fantastic! Incredible!

For a lot of the show Jon was more of a compere than a participant - but the talent!!!! Incredible!! Oh, I said that already. There were 9 other people there, the youngest only 16 years old. 7 of them played at least one instrument - though one claimed not to. One guy played electric guitar, then switched to cello, then piano and he was the musical director. Two girls played violin. One of them also played piano and french horn. The other had the most amazing metal electric violin! The sound that came out of that!!!!! One guy played base all night. Then there was the 16 year old. OMG!!!! Buffed, wearing a white singlet, dreadlocks, bare feet (as did the musical director), and played base, flute and piano. 6 of the nine sang - and boy did they sing! Incredible!! There, I said it again!!

Amongst other things Jon did sing Six Ribbons, and Jesus Christ Superstar was one of the encores... his eyes weren't black!!

Night all!

Night Suzy and everyone else...
Photo up on my page Broni...it may not stay there long 'cause we all look ravaged by the heat ......
[can't even wear makeup because it keeps melting in the heat!!]

Hi all. Looks like I missed everyone. Hope you guys sleeps well.

Bean, took a gander at your pic and didn't think you all looked bad.

The news is saying that some parts of Kentucky might not get their electricity back for another week. Most of the state has single digit temps. Woke up to 4 F (15.5 C) here.

Need to get in gear as we have to get to the grocery. Hope everyone has a good day/night.

Hi eveyone. It is cold here by Florida standards but there is no way I can complain with what Heidi is going through.

Good Morning SA7, very quiet night.
Concert sounds great Zusy.
Becky glad to hear you are safe.
Thanks Bean, you all wear you smiles bootifully.

Bean, had a look at your newest photo. You all look a tad warm but nothing wrong with how you look.

Thanks MizT for the news article on the ice storms in Kentucky. I haven't seen any coverage of the problem on our news.
Hoping that Heidi, and everyone else, is faring well in this and that she had got the fire working.

Morning Brenda, how are you today?

Morning all!
Off to check out the photo...

Great photo! I wish I looked that good overheated! Isn't Gail's table huge??

Hi Broni, not too bad thanks a little chilly here but nothing like as cold as Heidi is experiencing.
How are things going for you. Have you been able to do anything more to your boat?

good morning everyone.
The news is still not good over near Heidi.Very worrying!
Seems it is slightly milder weather down south.
I hope everyone is safe!!
It is overcast here and we will prob get more rain,still humid but not too hot as yet.
Thinking of you all with extreme weather.

I didn't take much notice of the size of the furnishing Suzy, will go and have another look

Hi evryone. It is "trouble". I am at my mom's house and using her computer.

I want my mom to get her first TOPP

Vent alert!
I met some people last night at the concert. Their daughter goes to school with Ebob and was the one who was beaten up and kicked while on the ground. She is still terrified to go to school. One of the girls who was involved has finally been expelled - for wagging. It seems there's a point system like on your driver's license. The others are still at the school. The mum had a video of the attack that was taken by someone watching the fight. The whole of her daughter's life could be affected by something that some watching found funny...

I got to live up to my name.
