Has anybody on here ever been contacted by people conducting polls during a presidential election? I'll be 60 in a few weeks, my parents are 86, nobody in my family has ever been contacted. In fact, to the best of my recollection I've never known anyone who has been contacted.
2 - 4 calls a day for me. When my my phone rings it's a "Box of Chocolates"

Listening to some Miles right now. Loved the guy before he started doing the fusion jazz crap. I was never a fan of that genre.

My social director threatened me with a 10" Chef's knife ONCE when I I was playing "21st Century Schizoid Man". I remembered her brother showing me the scar were she had stabbed him . . . so I put on some Dolly and she was fine listening to my favorite town tramp and I've been reasonably safe since. I might still listen to it but that image is a lot like a conniption fit. Avoided.

Hey I like King Crimson!

I have been getting a lot of calls during the medicare open enrollment period. However, I have gotten a couple of calls for car warranties. I just tell them that I am so glad they called, and that I definitely want one. When they get to the point where they ask about my car, I tell them that it's a 1976 Vega, with 635,000 miles. They hang up without saying another word.

Once back in 1996 by the Gallup organization. I lived in Copperas Cove, TX at the time. Otherwise, no other occasion related to an election.
 
Yikes! Y'all got hammered. What a freak storm. Stay safe and warm.

Last time we got hit by such severe weather happened back in 2007 or 2008.
Good thing we are just above freezing right now 34° because we are have more rain with thunder and lightning. Could have been a lot worse around here although my poor trees may not survive. Looks like some fall pruning is in order after it warms up and drys out around here.

It amazes me how trees and bushes are so resilient. I've seen them buried under multiple feet of snow or like in your case a lot of ice, and come back. As long as the tree branches don't crack and break, hopefully you'll be OK.

I just returned from a walk. We're right at 40°F with a cold northwest wind. Ha ha, very few folks out.
 
  • Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and the Lurkers.
  • We are at about 70º in Cumming. Raining since about 0200.
  • 2nd mug of Dark Magic going.
  • Got up about 0530, Couldn't sleep any longer,
  • QB and Lola still asleep.
  • Poor Warrior is catching Hell.'
  • The worker bees have been making their way to work, but mostly it is quiet around here.
  • Ymmot31: if by chance you read this, we need for you to check in and catch up on the stuff that is going on in your world.
  • Haven't heard anything from FCC. That is not good.
  • I don't really have anything.
  • As you were.
  • Carry on.
 
Good morning D, nasty day here in the Berg. We are forecast for 2-4 inches of rain tomorrow, looks like OEC could get more than that!

Had breakfast for supper last night, scrambled eggs with Velveeta cheese in them, bacon, sausage, gravy and coffee! Mrs. M was well pleased with her supper when she got off work!!! Cooking a Flat Iron Steak for tonight!!!

Has any of the D, got a survey card from the Associated Press? It says it's a "nonpartisan" study to understand the views of voters. Told Mrs. M it was just a way to get you on every e-mail list in the country, but they will sent you $5 for doing it! If anybody gets one let me know, so I can see if the pin numbers match what I have.

I hope the D has a great day, going to try and do one thing positive for today!!!
 
Heavy rain coming in tonight and into Friday morning. 2-4+ inches expected with potential flooding along the Ohio River. Strong winds as well throughout Thursday. At least this will speed up the leaf raking, maybe even blow most of them to my neighbors yards.

I am 74 years old and have never been contacted.
 
We were only out of power for about 5 hours on Monday so, things aren't so bad. However, my trees will probably need some help. Below is one in the backyard last year in snow. The next one is this morning's picture of the same tree.


This tree need an enima!
Wow! On a positive note at least the power wasn't off long enough to lose any food.

I love breakfast for supper. Mrs. hates it. So the only time I get it is when she's off and gone somewhere. Plus I think it's easier to fix with less cleanup.

When I was a kid, I absolutely hated breakfast food, now it's my favorite meal of the day. I've come to realize that a lot of the things I hated as a kid are the the things I like the most now.

Yeah supposed to rain here most of the night and all day tomorrow. Just looked at the radar and there's a bunch coming up from the Gulf coast. We haven't had too much here so it's not too wet here.
When I checked the radar it looked like the Northern part of the band of rain over OK way was pink, so wonder if warrior is getting more ice. Hope not...think they've had enough.

Radar looking rough. Guess rain is what we’re in for.

No, temperature is above freezing right now and the winds have died down a bit so, I think we're good.
