Am I The Only one who loves watching lightning and Severe Storms? I Guess too much watching the weather channel at 7 years old (1991) will do that to a person

I think the worst has passed. The sirens have been off for a while, and I’ve been given permission to go about my business (for now). First pitch cannot arrive fast enough…

I love Jack Russells, tiger. As long as someone else owns them. One of my neighbors has one that gets out all the time and roams the neighborhood. Him looking for his dog is how we originally met. I swear that dog gets out at least once a week.

Hi! Yes, I am no longer stabby. Got unstabby when I could no longer do work because we had to talk to our tech folks and that is not my department. So I was happier

about the only thing that gets Nala worked up is me shrieking or crying…or dogs barking/ strangers coming to the door. Nothing else bothers her. She’s pretty mellow. You’d like her

Woodstock family down in the basement twice this evening with their bike helmets on and stacked with pillows. Scary stuff for the little ones – big ones too. Son left high school baseball game to get home and take care of family. Said the umpire wouldn’t call the game just because of the tornado watch……..but did clear the field for a 30 min. lightning warning.
Footage all day of tornado victims sure hard to watch. DId see a poor couple who lost a house two times to tornados with his Braves hat on today.
God bless all the victims. Kinda puts stupid ballgames in perspective.
