I'm already trying to find the closest pet-friendly shelter.

See that red dot on Florida? That's me. Sarasota. Depending on whether there's low pressure or high pressure Ivan could move away from us or closer.

Tell me about it conch, I'm right above you.....

if you want, you're more than welcome to come and stay in my pantry.

and "pantry" has nothing to do with "pants", McMeekle - in case you were going to step in and make some double entendre.

This is why I'm glad I'm living in Minnesota.

Thanks Frog, Good luck Jersey


A Speckled Egg of Death on you, Hurricane Ivan!

Pants!

aaaaaugh somebody save me *grabbing onto random orgers' coat lapels, wide-eyed*
I'm thinking about possibly staying here and going to a hurricane shelter, so I'm looking at target.com for sleeping bags and this is what I find



That's so scary-looking to me right now
Last thing I need is to be huddled in a hurricane shelter for hours on end in that thing with wind howling and rattling the shutters

My mom lives there too and the last 2 just missed Sarasota, just a lot of rain a downed trees.

Thye wouldn't let her bring pets to the shelter so she battened down the hatches and made it through.

Ivan, at a 5 seems a lot worse, I've got to call her.

Be safe.

"Be safe"? "BE SAFE"?? IF ONLY I KNEW HOW!! AAAAAUGH



I'M FREAKING OOUUUUUTTT

That's what I'm saying dumbass, LEAVE.

aaaaaugh !!!!!

now really, is such rudeness called for? I'm getting out a little of my energy, making myself feel better by making fun of the fear I do feel. Honestly!

P.S. and good thoughts to your mom

Didn't mean to be rude, I was just saying "Be Safe" and by that, do whatever you have to do to get you and your pets out of harms way.

watch out for the surge and I hope it goes another direction

Thanks I think I am going to fly to Virginia (new decision)

Okay, so first this thing is named "Ivan"...as in Ivan the Terrible. Then I find these coffin-shaped sleeping bags. Now I had a movie night with friends to make myself feel better. We got Chinese food. Hand to God, this was my fortune:
"Traveling more often is important for your health and happiness"

Omens.

Send me a postcard!!!!!

A postcard? Why?
