Welcome back....

You're a survivor Tam. The only thing this does is confirm it.

Not that it needed confirming mind you. :D

You should actually GO ON Survivor. That'd be something to see.

Oh my god..... I don't think so. I don't EVEN have the temperament for that kind of thing. :1orglaugh:upsidedow

I am actually very proud of all of my family, we pulled together and helped each other and there was not one spec of bickering or anything. We had my oldest and her husband come and stay with us because they had zero heat sources and my oldest son made sure I had food to eat... since I am Diabetic, he got scared of that. Then he brought us a little cook stove he borrowed from his girlfriend's dad.... so we actually did pretty good.

the ONLY thing we had real issues with was the net being down... and the insane cold at night. But when all was said and done, the thing we missed most was the internet..... I am a workaholic and they are internet geeks.... so we missed that more than anything. lol

Welcomen back!

That's what I'm saying. It'd be fun to see you lose it on some of the idiots that go on that show.

I mean there's bitch slap, then there's a RUDE bitch slap. :1orglaugh


Did it force you to.... *gasp*.... talk? lol

Seriously you never realize how much the internet means until you don't have it for a while.

Let me stop here for a minute and say that Verizon Wireless is the best Cell phone service there is. In all of this, they are the ONLY service that didn't go down. While I didn't have the net access feature at the time, we did have our cell phones thru this and no one on any other service had access to even their cell phones.

The City and County Workers all use AT&T and so does the Government I guess, because Beshear publically announced his frustrations with AT&T. 95% of this state I guess uses, or should I say USED, AT&T and not one had any means of communication with one another at ALL.

Verizon was the only one that withstood all of this. I went to the Verizon Store on Friday to buy a car charger..... funny I never owned one before... and that place was packed full of people switching over to Verizon so they could communicate with their friends and families.

The Kroger Chain was amazing... the morning after, those people opened their store and were helping people without even a minute's thought of monetary gain whatsoever. They were handing out the cold and freezer goods like crazy to help people.... WE could put it in coolers outside to keep it good, they couldn't. So rather than do what Wal-Mart did...... which was put all of theirs in a truck, take it to the dump and run over it to ruin any chances of anyone using it.... they were GIVING it away to help.

Kroger manually were rining up orders, all to help. We had a couple of small mom and pop places that were running their own stores on generators to help people with gas and kerosene.

The only ones that didn't stand up and help were Wal Mart and AT&T..... literally everyone else was right there for us all.. government included. :thumbsup

Oh my god.... I am way better on here than I am face to face. My eyes give up my frustration so fast it isn't even possible to hide it. So yeah... I'd either half kill some of those crybabies on there or GET killed.... rotfl



Actually, we did more talking than we have in years... like where the hell is my DS or my iPod.... or a flashlight, I have to pee... rotfl

But yes, I have raised my kids geared towards technology because that's their future. This thing hit us and we had to teach them how to survive without it. And to be honest, they did amazingly well... I was and still am shocked. :helpme I think someone stole MY family and replaced it with robots, they were that damn good. lmao

You know, you hear shit about wal-mart over the years and you pass it off as just that... shit, shit that people say. But THIS?... I mean that is just plain ignorant of wal-mart.

People in your area should boycott the shit out of them for that. Of course they'd only end up laying off all the locals who work there. Bastards.

You should leak this story to the media.

PS -- it's always nice when your family surprises you pleasantly. Imagine all the parents out there who were disappointed by their whiny brats complaining for the whole week? Ug. Nice to hear yours stepped up.

Welcome back Tam!!

Here is what was said on the post that we seen....

They are not keeping it to themselves at all... word is getting out. We had a stock pile of food, we always do, so we didn't need to go out in this shit for food but one time. But there are those that buy only what they can eat in a few days so they were in deep trouble..... and they witnessed this firsthand, and they aren't being quiet about it at all. This was on our local news website's blog. lol

welcome back

kentucky is the last place i'd ever want to end up in.. only beach cities for me.
