| OK, I get it, we're going to have rain every cotton-pickin' day. But for the love of God, does it have to come in the form of THUNDERSTORMS?!?! I am frickin' TERRIFIED of lightning, and this is our second storm today!!! |
Pfffttrrrttt
LOL See why I'm scared of thunderstorms? Those lightning bolts can raise the dead! First Frankenstein, and now LT!

yup, Mami. we all can use the rain, but c'mon...I agree... cut out the boom-booms. skeers hell outa my livestock. (me too, sometimes, like when one of them 50,000 caliber bolts nailed a poplar tree right next to me. Yow! I thought a 155 went off. the searing heat of that bolt split that poplar into a million toothpick size bits in a heartbeat. never thought I could "sweep up" a huge tree, but I did! funniest thing you ever saw. I still keep a couple of them poplar pieces as a souvenir.) |
My dad had ball lightning strike the tree that was about 15 feet from him about 2 months ago...went throught the center of the tree and hit the ground in the driveway another 10 feet out and knocked a hole in the asphalt,he has a burn on his forearm and the puppy sitting in his lap took a leak in his lap...so he says I think he wet himself...he is getting near Depends age!

A couple of years ago (when the first wife was still here) there was a lightning strike here at this house. It made the water under the cement driveway boil. The driveway exploded under their van. They ended up with a new van and a new driveway. That shit scares the hell out of me! |

They piss me off also. Sat - when we had the last bad one - My TV was blown out ------ 36" regular tubed JVC. (Big thunder clap by my house , notice TV n living room is off) Start checking, everything else works, - It won't turn on.. Check Power cords - yep - it musthave been popped by the lightning somewhere close by. Oh well -- gonna cost about $160 to fix. Better than buying the new 50" Flat screen that I was about to replace it with. |
I wasn't gone. My job just had me traveling 3-4X a week. And I was spending every other weekend in CA. Also training in Martial Arts again. Leaves almost zero time to post. Glad to see I was missed by some though.
