puglet
Mostly spring, but they can come anytime of the year
2:49 am

3:00 am
puglet

3:01 am

North Dakota picture showing the residual of a blizzard:
http://tinyurl.com/lbmkdbx
3:14 am
puglet
that was a really big storm OO--is that the biggest one that you guys have had
3:15 am
o-o
biggest one I remember
3:16 am
o-o
I was driving home one day trying to stay ahead of a tornado parallel to me and gaining
3:17 am
puglet
well I see you beat it--lol I hope you no longer try things like that now
3:18 am
o-o
when I started the trip, there was no tornado in sight
3:19 am
puglet
what? it just came out of no where? Thats frightening OO
3:19 am
o-o
About ten years ago, I watched from my window two apartment buildings get flattened.
3:21 am
o-o
Takes the boredom from a day.
3:21 am
puglet
and why wasent you in a safe place then? You take too many chances with your life---I do hope you are not so reckless now
3:22 am
o-o
I was in a safe place .... and here to tell about it.
3:22 am
puglet
were there many lives lost from the buildings coming down
3:23 am
puglet
standing in front of a window dont sound all that safe to me
3:24 am
o-o
It was during the day .... most of the residents were gone. Some were injured ... no deaths.
3:24 am
o-o
I was watching ... not standing in front of the window.
3:24 am
puglet
I suppose your yelling at it kept you safe that day-lol
3:25 am
o-o
Have to let tornadoes know who the boss is.
3:27 am
puglet
I had a friend that served in dessertstorm and they had to go clean up after such a storm and they found alot of people in their homes gone just from the tornado sucking out their air in their lungs
3:28 am
puglet
so is june then your worse time for these storms
3:28 am
o-o
Tornadoes do their damage and are gone. Blizzards do not do so much damage but the residual is around for much longer
3:29 am
puglet
I havent checked that yet, but I will---Ive not been in one of those as of yet
3:30 am
puglet
do you have blizzards often there OO
3:31 am
o-o
I really don't know. I have seen a lot of funnels ... seems like the days are very hot ... and then fronts collide and funnels start making their move across the sky.
3:32 am
puglet
what tornados I have seen--the sky is beautiful before they come, thats no lie there
3:32 am
o-o
Not lately ... weather has been milder ... the biggest blizzard I recall had drifts so high you could walk on the roofs of buildings
3:34 am
puglet
oh wow---thats some huge drifts! And I bet when it melts then you got flooding
3:35 am
puglet
the deepest here Ive ever seen is over the tops of field fences
3:36 am
puglet
How long OO did it take for that much snow to melt before people could get out?
3:37 am

On Friday, April 18, 1997, the Red River poured over the dikes into the Lincoln Drive neighborhood of Grand Forks. By the end of the next day, Saturday, April 19, floodwaters had spread over large areas of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, 60,000 people were out of their homes, and downtown Grand Forks was burning. The downtown fire would destroy or damage eleven buildings on three blocks, including the offices of the Grand Forks Herald newspaper. But the Herald never missed a day of publication, despite having no offices or presses.
Many residents were away from their homes for a week or more, before the floodwaters receded enough for them to reach their homes and see the damage. Almost every home in East Grand Forks, and most homes in Grand Forks had flood damage. Residents considered themselves "fortunate" if only their basement was flooded. Many residents lost their house, car, and everything else they own, and now must start over. Some neighborhoods, such as Lincoln Drive in Grand Forks and Sherlock Park in East Grand Forks, will never be rebuilt.
Thousands of volunteers came to Grand Forks and East Grand Forks to help clean up and rebuild. One of them created this web site. Many others donated money and supplies to help rebuild. The people of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks are very thankful for all the help they have received.
3:39 am
o-o
Have not had floods for a few years now. Used to say Fargo had three seasons: winter, flooding and road construction.
3:39 am
puglet
were you among those in this story OO--how awful for you guys
3:40 am
puglet
was this flooding due to the melting snows
3:40 am
o-o
No, Grand Forks is north of me. I have filled a few of the millions of sandbags filled most years.
3:42 am
puglet
thats alot of people with out home all at one time
3:43 am
o-o
The Red River flows North into Canada. So Grand Forks has more water to deal with. Congress helped them recover.
3:43 am
puglet
and to this day, they have never rebuilt those two towns or neighborhoods
3:44 am
o-o
The towns were rebuilt and are thriving
3:46 am
o-o
The smell after the flood from garbage and sewage was terrible ... the people pulled together and got the cleanup done and started to rebuild
3:46 am
puglet
Ive tried finding pictures of your red river to see how big it is, but I havent found any that really shows it off---do you know where I can find some pics of it
3:46 am
puglet
oh I bet OO--were you in on that clean up too
3:47 am
o-o
do a search for the Red River of the North.
3:47 am
puglet
okay--thanks
3:48 am

it is so good to "see" you. How has life been treating you?
7:04 am
crosshair
a bit of a note.. the opera browser, it compresses data and may allow you more wiggle room for video applications, but it is not great at some other things. So, you and hubby check into it. they have their own compression servers and compress the data before sending it to you
7:04 am
NonnieLight
the opera browser...thanks, we'll have to look into that.
7:05 am

thanks again, mixi. While looking for your do8 (which I've now found) I found a do7 (report)
3:32 pm
Soodle
Jaxx, I was as sick as a small hospital this morning. But a full Irish breakfast & a litre of water enabled me to re-enter the human race. As I type, I'm just sorry I'm not doing it all over again tonight!!
3:33 pm
jaxx7
You have really made a turn around since a couple of weeks ago. Well done.
3:33 pm

My sister and I usually escape together once a year. We had been thinking of visiting Ireland. It is still in the air, though
3:39 pm
Nef
Some day. Soodle…. How handicapped accessible is Ireland?DH and iAd talked about traveling there years ago, but with his MS, we decided that we'd have to travel in the US instead of in Europe
3:41 pm
Nef
(I see my typing might be why some words aren't being accepted….)
3:44 pm
Soodle
Nef, it's pretty ok here re accessibility. Obviously, there's good and bad places. And Jaxx..... C'mon over!! It's good here. Don't take my word for it.... Ask Riverdance.
3:45 pm

Hi sue. How are you doing these days?
4:01 pm
uusue2
hi nef! I am good. How are you?
4:02 pm
Nef
doing good. DH told me that WE are going on a date tonight! (I don't even know the last time we had a meal alone; much less a "date!"
4:02 pm
uusue2
how sweet! Have a wonderful time!
4:03 pm
uusue2
We've been talking about what to do for our anniversary, which is a week from tomorrow
4:04 pm
uusue2
probably we will go to dinner; there is a sushi restaurant about half an hour from here that has a gluten-free menu.
4:04 pm
jaxx7
My head's spinning so I amtaking a break.
4:04 pm
uusue2
We've only been there once as it's a bit pricey, but it would be nice.
4:04 pm
uusue2
bye, jaxx!
4:05 pm
Nef
take care, jaxx. maybe you need a nap?
4:05 pm
Nef
for your anniversary it should be special
4:05 pm
Nef
Especially Your anniversary! :-)
4:06 pm
uusue2
indeed! It can be a combination mothers day, birthday, and anniversary (my birthday is a week later)
4:06 pm
uusue2
then we don't have to go out again until Frank's birthday in November :-)
4:07 pm
Nef
LOL! I thick that this is a combination birthday and Mothers Day treat (he hasn't said so, but that's what I'm guessing)
4:07 pm
Nef
think! Not thick
4:08 pm
uusue2
I missed that :-0
4:12 pm
MollyL
We need to go kidnap Sue and take her out somewhere that isn't gluten free so she can gorge on gluten food.
: D
4:13 pm
uusue2
haha. Actually I drove a friend to the doctor yesterday (which was about an hour away), and she bought me lunch at Panera Bread. So that was nice.
4:13 pm
uusue2
(although I had a salad with an apple on the side, so not much gluten anyway)
4:14 pm
Nef
DO you eat strictly gluten free too, sue?
4:14 pm
uusue2
no but I don't bring gluten foods into the house; it makes things too complicated
4:15 pm
uusue2
and if I eat bread or something, I have to really wash my face well, and brush my teeth, before, well, getting too close to Frank :-)
4:15 pm
Nef
That's very understandable; I just wondered if you decided to try to live gluten free too
4:16 pm
Nef
oh, Wow! I wouldn't have thought of that!
4:16 pm

well, mostly I leave the GF bread and cookies for him, as they are rather expensive
4:17 pm
uusue2
g to eat healthier and lose weight, so I am eating more fruits and vegetables, and less starchy stuff, anyway
4:17 pm
uusue2
(sorry about the hiccup)
4:17 pm
Nef
no problems, sue
4:17 pm
MollyL
So he can be in a restaurant where they use gluten products, but you can't have them in your house?
4:18 pm
Nef
Does he have trouble with gluten in the environment too; or just the "up close" gluten?
4:18 pm
uusue2
well, in order for him to be ok in the restaurant, they have to be very careful to keep things separate. We can do that at home too but why ask for trouble?
4:19 pm
uusue2
and at places like pizza restaurants, he won't even get a glass of water, as he figures the air is full of flour - no way to keep it off everything
4:19 pm
Nef
I'm glad you've found someplace that he Can go though
4:19 pm
MollyL
But doesn't the flour in the air affect him if he is that sensitive?
4:20 pm
uusue2
so when we go out, it's either a place with a dedicated gluten free menu, a sushi place (where he brings his own soy sauce, and just gets plain fish and rice), or a real Mexican place
4:21 pm
uusue2
Molly, as long as he stays out of the kitchen in a pizza place he should be ok; he's mostly at risk from ingesting gluten, not so much from inhaling it (although when he volunteered at our local co-op, he was always really careful when dealing with the bulk flour and things)
4:21 pm
Nef
So he did find a GF soy sauce? When my D-I-L was going GF, she freaked out after reading a soy sauce bottle
4:21 pm
uusue2
the gluten molecule is large and won't go through skin, so he doesn't have to worry about simple contact
4:22 pm
uusue2
yes, Nef, there are brands that use no wheat in the soy sauce, it is usually called tamari
4:22 pm
Marc Freeman
so7, please?
4:22 pm
uusue2
San-J is the easiest to find
4:22 pm
uusue2
hi Marc! Don't have it but will look.
4:23 pm
Nef
good to know, sue!
4:23 pm

4:26 pm

8:21 pm

feeling crummy from the tummy bug -- but the fevers are better now. I hope I am well enough to really work on the house tomorrow. The builder is desperate to finish -- I think he needs to pay the workers. But since they delayed so much WE still have work to do.
8:21 pm
stidmama
I am glad you are better, I am sorry your kiddo needed rescuing bugs -- will he be okay?
8:22 pm
Bugsaw
don't feel bad about being sick. it happens and as you say, they made you wait too. Yes he is fine now and doing very well! I am so relieved
8:22 pm
stidmama
I am glad you were able to help -- it is distressing when our kids are at a distance and in trouble!
8:23 pm
Bugsaw
no kidding. His roommate contacted us all in a panic. turns out the roommate was the one with the problem. I just separated them and all is well now
