Good morning! What’s up? I’ve noticed that we are in the cone of doom now. Oh goody.

Morning!! Thanks for the weather update Marshall. I guess I better start paying attention to it. Hope you all have a good day and weekend.
Looks like I will be going up to Yazoo tomorrow. It is a shame that PD’s son apparently will never grow up and take responsibility for anything. I can’t even get him to come get the vehicle that he is supposed to have after he made my life miserable over it for two months.
The girls have an away game tonight, so we get to have a date night. :)
I have to go to Mobile to get clarinet reeds for El, so I’ll do some fancy grocery shopping while I’m there and we’ll date at home.
Guess I need to see what batteries our lanterns use. I’ll fill up some gas cans, too.
Next week should be interesting. Our in-laws already have one picture with Mr. Cantore on the beach. We don’t need another one.
Morning. On the road again well north of Jxn. Y’all play sweetly.
Morning. I’m guessing Hubby hasn’t seen the predicted path, he hasn’t shifted into “panic” mode yet. I suppose I should be thankful he likes to be prepared. He was at home when Katrina came through at our house & I don’t think he had ever been scared of storms until then. Does anyone else remember that there were no sounds of wildlife for several days after? Not sure how long it took the birds to return but they weren’t here!
Everyone enjoy their Friday.
That should tell you something. Over the next day or two listen for the birds and you will know. Most people won’t kick into panic mode until they see what happens after it passes over Cuba, however, by projections it will only take three days to make that trek across the Gulf. That is not long to prepare considering the staggering amount of people.
Incidentally, it is coming ashore on the anniversary of Katrina. And Isaac promises to pack a lot of surge with it. It is a wide storm just like his big sister.
It is actually slated to come one day before Katrina did – nevertheless – the last week of August is bad for hurricanes historically :-(
Sorry, I thought it was coming ashore Wednesday, but it is Tuesday. good thing I’m not reporting down there, huh? I’d have them leaving a day late and in the cone of Cantore.
Wanda, do you live there somewhere? My son and I go to Pascagoula every summer. The picture on my smart phone now is of him throwing out a cast net beside the pier, four weeks ago this Monday.
Mornin. Only working a half day today. YAY! I don’t have a thing planned for the afternoon, and that’s ok with me.
Mornin!
I know I will never be caught again with low gas and no cash. A lesson learned from the big K.
Hope everybody has a great day!
I wonder what happened to Blues I hope he didn’t get into trouble over the donuts disappearing so fast :)
Molly I want off this afternoon too :(
Come on, PM.
Coworker is trying to convince me that her brother was on a Carribean island during a hurricane standing on the dock pushing against his boat to keep it from hitting the dock through the whole hurricane. Yeah, I believe that one.
I do know a local real estate mogul who had a yacht on the coast back when Camille came through. His attorney in Gulfport, who was a friend of mine, went with him to move his boat to back bay before the storm hit. The real estate guy swam over the to the boat next door during the storm to get ice for their drinks and swam back with it. The day after Camille hit, the attorney and his family came to Jackson and stayed with us and I got to go on a huge grocery shopping trip with them. He lived 3 blocks off the beach in Long Beach and every tall pine tree between his house and the beach was gone after Camille blew through. His house had 4 feet of mud inside.
And an Episcopal priest in Pass Christian whose baby was swept away in its crib. His young wife had a heart attack and then the baby was found unhurt in a tree.
She’s a “topper.” A new word I learned from Chase this week-someone, that no matter your story, they’ve done it better, more, had it worse, blah blah blah.
Also, just in case y’all didn’t know, he and Lisa are divorced. She has unfriended me on fb, so I guess that means Chase got me in the divorce. He still calls me mom.
Clucky, you nailed it. She ALWAYS has a “one better” story, no matter the topic. She’s only 27; it’s amazing how much she’s done and seen in her short life. Apparently, there is nothing she has not experienced.
OK. I thought y’all were talking about me until I read to the end. Whew!!!
morning gang! Happy Friday!
LE: to your question last night. Portobello’s is no longer in business. It is now Rick’s Place. Have not tried it but heard it is good. He also has a car show there twice a month.
PNC: I remember that about the wildlife. It made the nights very eerie cause they were so quiet.
I am going to make sure to get a few extra things at the grocery this weekend.. to be prepared and to make sure the cars are gassed.
I can’t remember the young man’s name who owned Portabello, but he was in his early 20’s.
Marshall, I love your cartoon today. Is very fitting.
Good morning! We filled the gas tank up last night.
I’m so sleepy. I went to bed around 12:30, woke up at 4:30 and BE was up because he couldn’t sleep. I went back to sleep and woke up again at 6:40 and struggled to sit up before BE brought me some coffee.
I need to perk up because I got a call yesterday that I’m needed to play in Brandon today.

Crazy…
I just don’t get it!
Why can’t people just get along?
I might go ahead and pick up a couple of tarps while I’m at WM doing grocery shopping. Our house and Mom’s both are leaking over the utility room.
The kids had brought most of Mama’s stuff over here in bags a couple of months ago. The was a bag on their deck I peeked into, thinking it was trash. WRONG. Letters, newspaper clippings, poems, pictures on top of some of her clothes. The clothes are ruined-they got wet and mildewed, but the papers are fine. I took pictures of several of the clippings, and will bring it home (via a son or Mr Fab since its too heavy for me to lift. The resemblance between us is amazing. I was floored!
Ok, I better get out of here so I can make it to the dentist for a filling. I grind my teeth really bad in my sleep. Between that and dry mouth, my teeth are doomed.
Coop, lemme know if you head north this weekend! I wish we could have a picnic one weekend at LeFleur’s bluff or just meet at a restaurant. I miss all of you so much. We play Choctaw Central tonight (away) and hope we can make the game-the weather is wonderful!!
Love y’all!!
I have all of Mama’s cook books. They are stuffed with notes and newspaper clippings and whoknows what. I cry a little every time I look through them.
Love you too!
My we are chatty today. Headed to the big city.
Later…
Hey Clucky and MrsH please add to theses items on your shopping list for me thanks….
Please overlook my typos :)
OB did you get your computer and system set up to play or put vinly records to CD. I had someone do one for me but I am very unhappy with it. #1 they should have let the player warm up—you can hear the turn table all through the first two songs. #2 instead of making each song a track. Track 1 is the whole first side. Track 2 is the B side. Just wondering if you might be interested? Maybe we can talk sometime this weekend or whenever is a good time.
Pizza Shack for lunch!
Just my personal opinion regarding Lance Armstrong. The have been in vesting sting him for how long and have never proved if he did or not. He has defended himself over and over. At some point you have to say enough. Even a known felon can go before the courts just so many times for a charge against him. I think just because Lance is quitting the legal battles is not an admittance to guilt.
Investigating not in vesting—- dang auto correct
BLT for me.
bursts throughthe door/shakes off slicker suit leaves big puddle of water on floor/gets cup of stale coffee/frowns/drinks it anyway/I hear PM’s been talkin’ ’bout me. well, she ate the last donut so she’s gotta bring some tomorrow. So there!/Makes a fresh pot/I got time/nothing for me to do this afternoon.
I may go into town and soak up some of the local culture at “wallmarks” when it quits raining. Nope. Not going to the casino.Nope. Stayin’ out of it. It’s easy when you don’t have any money for that sort of stuff.
Sorry to hear about chase. I hope the kids are all right. srsly
Welp, the rain’s stopped. See you monsters later.
Whew Blues came in like a hurricane. Yes sir boss I’ll bring the donuts tomorrow. Lol!!
Did I miss something? Oops helps sometimes to start at the top of the page.
Make my donut with chocolate on top. :)
CardinalSon called and said he is on his way home with some cedar posts and lumber.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him we have another cat.
Went to Petsmart after work made it to my home town about 5:15 and was greeted with a rain shower still going 30 minutes lasted.
CLady I was just thinking that very thing. Plain, chocolate covered, cream filled, etc. isn’t that terrible to be already tring to plan your breakfast before 6:00 pm the the night before?
Haha. Yes Parrotmom.
Okay, now I must run and see my dear one. See yall later!
Evenin!
Somehow I missed that it was going to rain tonight. I came through some heavy stuff, and it’s still raining here now. I thought when I looked at the weather this morning, we were still clear for a while. Oh well…
Cluckster, I’m not sure what I’m doing this weekend, but don’t plan on heading north. I’m waiting to hear from Baby Girl about what they’ve got going on this weekend. Otherwise, it’s laundry, etc. We do need to get together soon, though!
Did y’all know that The Weather Channel was sharing Marshall’s cartoon of Jim Cantore today?? That was very cool.
I think I’ll go do a little crochet therapy. Working on a little project… y’all behave.
8:10 and still raining here. Coop it would help if I were to watch a local channel every now and then. I am either reading/studying playing with my parrot or watching something on the inspiration channel on dish. I have gotten hooked on Dr Quinn medicine woman from the early 90’s. The best part is it isn’t garbage.
nite lite is on.
7:16 Saturday moring. howdy folks, no donuts today will have them Monday.
I just had some leftover new potatoes from last night. Mmmm.
Got to get gas and change the bible story presentation for Sunday School tomorrow. I think the more narrative presentation is called for this week. I want to make sure the younger kids have a handle on the “Don’t Worry” section of the sermon on the mount. The version I had chosen earlier now seems to be a bit over the heads of the younger ones.
At country day! The rain has stopped-15 minutes after the band played. LOL
