We're having a "serious" heat wave here (111-112F) and the amount of people stocking up - and I mean SERIOUS stocking up, on ice and drinks and ice creams is just amazing.<BR/>The stinkin' electricity keeps going out for hours and some places have been without for 4 and 5 days, so how ya gonna keep that ice in the freezer "frozen", eh?<BR/><BR/>I'll send you a little heat, if you'll send me a snowball... deal?<BR/>;-)Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435531316896447458.post-40404196488671191782009-01-29T13:19:00.000-08:002009-01-29T13:19:00.000-08:00Becky's right.

Most people stocked up right away instead of waiting until the last minute.<BR/><BR/>But me - I would take a hurricane over snow any day!!! I just can't take the cold. I sure hope the thyroid medicine kicks in soon. I'm in sunny Florida, and get cold as soon as the sun goes down. I just about froze to death today, while waiting for an EKG at the hospital. Then it was even colder at the lab, for blood work. When I got to Olive Garden, I was tempted to "wear" my soup instead of eating it!!!Libby's Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121891614203314660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435531316896447458.post-8111759073646133992009-01-28T18:52:00.000-08:002009-01-28T18:52:00.000-08:00Yeah, I always wonder about that whole rush on foo...Yeah, I always wonder about that whole rush on food thing. Not since the blizzard of 1979 have I been unable to get out and about for more than 36 hours because of a storm. There was another bad one in 95 or 96, too, I recall, but nothing to sock us in for a week. I always wonder about those people with six loaves of bread, for dozen eggs and enough sandwich meat to make a deli platter - at the absolute worst, the plow will be past your house within 24 hours. How many sandwiches do you need in that time? Or conversely, how much french toast are you going to make when the apocalypse happens and the power goes out? What then? (We have a camp stove. We're golden no matter what happens.)

All the bottled water and batteries are gone as soon as they mention the H word. Also includes bread, peanut butter and jelly. I would take snow over hurricane anyday! Going thru one hurricane is enough let 3 in a row which is what we had in 2004.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258545609450496014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435531316896447458.post-57395702065677846852009-01-28T10:08:00.000-08:002009-01-28T10:08:00.000-08:00Hahaha.

We went to the store before the ice fog and you would have thought it was the end of the world. Let's just say I don't want to be around for the famin.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871936987053625828noreply@blogger.com
