I think Im going to cry.

I had to evacuate for the storm.

I came home to trees on my roof

I have no power

the four streets surrounding me do

I havent seen a college football game or been on the internet or felt air conditioning in a long time.

I can not access my bank account.

lsu game got cancelled.

lsu game got moved.

Im sad

SCREW YOU KATRINA!!!

 

I feel your pain. Hopefully you get power soon! ...and hopefully you'll get your LSU "fix" in 2 weeks vs Tenn! :thumb:

 

Up, I got power now, but i also have a generator and a portable AC unit (cools 400 sq. ft. real well) if you need to borrow it.

Let me know
Beaux

 

wow, thanks for the offer man!!! but as we speak I have power!!!! bout 2 hours ago they were out there on my corner and saying they couldnt do anything about it until some people across from me cut down some trees because of health risks. I was pretty upset about it but didnt let it show, I was more upset with the homeowners than anything else.

I went inside and I had made a gallon of iced tea and it was on ice in an ice chest. I brought out a stack of mardi gras cups with precious ice in them and that gallon of tea and gave it to the workers. (they looked like they needed it more than me)

they thanked me, and I went back inside, and 45 minutes later I was sitting in my house when someone knocked on my door... the doors are wide open because im letting air circulate, I yelled "come in!" then a cleco worker walks around my corner with all the cups stacked up and the gallon container and hands them to me and says, " thanks man, oh, and we managed to work around that tree."

I went outside, turned the "main" switch on to the fuse box and the lights came on. I looked across the street at that house and the cleco guys had cut the tree off and got my power up.

IT ROCKS! I'll never take it for granted again, that's for sure

 

Just imagine if that would have been a nice cold one (or two, or three, or four...)
:hihi:

 

I have had similar problems but hey...that is life. Throws you some curveballs.

It's how you deal with them that makes you who you are.

I have my health, a great college football team, and a beer in my hand

 

What else is there?:thumb:

 

Well Salty those are good but in response to your "what else is there?"

Fast cars and FAST ( HOT ) women come immediately to mind. :hihi:

 

Can't argue with you there, but I can live without those as long as I have Health, Football, and Beer. :yelwink2:

 

Words to live by right there. Anybody can be happy when things are going their way. It takes something different to be happy when the chips are down.
