Craven and Bi-Polar Bear have inspired OCCOM BILL to finally

True indeed Kristie. Now stop de-baiting me. The last thing I need is another warning in my PM box.

Don't blame me....it's the nicotine withdrawal talking..... :wink:

O'Bill - be careful down there. That storm seems to know where you are.

Good goin' to all the hangin' tight no tobacco no more team.

Ok, it's bad...I just found myself holding my baby carrot like a cigarette...which must have looked pretty funny since the carrot is about as long as it is wide. And it's a carrot. Sheesh.

Thanks ehBeth, I'm watching. My condo is built like a bomb-shelter with very heavy sliding Hurricane shutters, and I'm on the 4rth floor so I don't really have to worry about flooding... well here:

Plus, I'm not afraid to run if it looks like a Cat 4 or 5 is coming my way. The good news is the current track is aiming directly at me... and they're generally off by a bit. I would wager 2 to 1 that it turns North soon. Panzade better be watching out!

Nice place to live, mostly, Bill, great shot there.
Um, so what happened with the scooter thing?

Ne'er mind, I'm worried for all of you in or near the path..

Thanks Osso. Shot's from a realtor in the building's website. Still got the scooter thing. I ride it a couple times a week. Kinda relaxing really.

I hope Bill is ok....I hear they are evacuating

I trust that Bill's riding his motor-powered bicycle along the boardwalk in the hurricane winds saying "Bring it on" - "Is this all you got?".

I hope Bill's okay too.

Yes, thinking about all you guys.

Bill, where do you KEEP the scooter thing?

Bill's fine. Thanks guys. It's actually a beautiful day today. I just put up plywood around one of my Aunt's rental properties (what a pain in the a$$ plywood is). So far it does look determined to come here, but no worries. This place is solid. I have the mother load of supplies so I might just hang out and film the stick houses across the street blowing away. I wonder if insurance covers your house if you don't bother to shutter it? Fools.

Sozobe, I'm keeping the bike in my foyer. I've learned to flip the gas off about 150 yards away from the door and then it doesn't stink.

I should probably wander down and see if any of my neighbors need help with anything. Some are very old.

Btw, I use a Satellite Internet connection that doesn't do well in bad weather, so don't anyone be worried if I stop posting for a while.

Well Bill, I hope everything goes ok for you. I don't know you personally but you've been really nice to me through my nicotine de-tox.

Besides, worrying about you guys on the coast makes me think less about myself....

And naturally we will all be worried if you don't post for a while!
Take care of yourself!!! And don't lose your cheese hat in the wind!

Thanks Kristie. Good job on the not smoking, too! Looks like we have another success story coming up.
Go Kristie!
and because it's that time of year:
Go Packers!

GO LIONS!

(and take the Tigers with you!!)



I'm from Detroit...can you tell?

Super Bowl in 2006!


Oh, and thanks! I feel pretty ok today! Only one fit where I almost threw my computer against the wall.

Some of us have longer rows to hoe.

Some of us just have crappy teams.

That's another way of putting it. You can take the "Brew Crew" with you, too, though.

I still can't figure out why you people needed a new dome. When I went there about a decade ago, for one of the greatest games ever played (final game of season, back and forth all game long, to continue into the post season)(ended yours, sorry), the Silver Dome didn't have a bad seat in the house... And, it was enormous! Of course, I never understood why anyone would ever want an indoor stadium and BS grass in the first place (sissies). :razz:

Well, something has to look good in the Super Bowl and chances are pretty good it ain't gonna be the team....(crying outside on the steps)


It is pretty awesome there, I do have to say. Nice and expensive.

Don't be too sure. I hear this guy's still pretty good.

Also, Joey Harrington should be better. MN and GB are going to be kicking some ass this year and since you have the same opponents, maybe you can squeeze in on a wild card. Besides; it could be worse. At least you're not a Bear Fan!
