Another hurricane, IKE

[Janet]

Sandy be careful. We don't need you slipping and hurting yourself.

Marilyn, I'm so sorry that the medical procedure didn't work out. You were probably right about canceling it since both of you felt the same way. And I'm glad that you were able to go back to the house and get it secured. Be careful traveling and take care of yourselves. I'll be waiting to hear how things are going. Just stay safe!!

ExxonMobil is closing it's Houston offices tomorrow. Hubby picked me up at noon. MIL is giving him a hard time to come get her. She's a normal 1.5 hour drive away, but with mandatory evacuations, he might or might not get in and out. She even used the line, "I wish I had died with your Daddy." He's beating himself up. I told him to go be with her and I'd be OK here. Oldest daughter will probably end up here with me. She told him to go and she'd take care of me and doggies. She's being such a brat lately.

It looks like I'll get 90mph winds at my house. Hubby's working hard outside, getting everything picked up and battened down. We probably won't flood, but will almost definitely be without power for several days.

I have one of my supervisors on business in Milan and scheduled to fly in Friday night. I'm telling him to stay there until Monday, because the Houston airport will probably close down midday tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that your husband is still having difficulty - I hope that you are abel to find a facility that you are comfortable with.
I pray that Ike is not a serious as is being predicted

Don't ya just want to choke them when they use the guilt to get to ya??? 90 mile an hour winds are not a good thing...you all just be careful.

Has anybody heard from Marilyn? I've heard the phrase "hunkered down" several times this evening and that's what I'm doing for the next few days. We went out for a quick margarita this evening, but our favorite place was closed. We stopped at the liquor store and got a bottle of the already mixed margarita. It's a hurricane supply!

Looks like we'll get the direct hit. Ike's big, so lots of people will be affected. May God Bless and Keep Us All! I hope to be able to text message from my blackberry and might even get around to getting into 4WT on it. I expect we'll lose power this evening. My Yahoo e-mail goes to my blackberry, too.

I'm thinking of all of you! Please try to keep us updated as you can.

Sandy...please...if there is any way, once this storm passes...let us know you are safe...okay. I have you in my prayers ....
