[TMIC] tornado concern

2011-05-03 Thread randy rankin
This isn't a TM item but I've gotten connected to many of you.
LOT'S of people and communities where serious hurt, killed, and damaged.  Many 
many people lost everything.  

In Alabama, we had more tornados that i can count. 3 where F4s at times, and 
one 
made it to F5.
1 mile from my brother's home near Hunstville, 6 where killed. In Rainsville 
close to 40 (39 I think) and people are still missing.
Near my homeplace many lost everything. It was 1/2 to a mile wide and at times 
bigger.
There is still no power or water in many areas.  Entire forests are gone - it 
often took the trees. In some places it pulled the grass out of the ground and 
removed the top soil and left a wide long brown barren trail. 

The REASON for this email is twofold.

My cousin Kathy Studdard would NOT leave her cats and go to the shelter.  She 
lost most of her cats anyway.  Her house was swept - and I DO mean swept away - 
like a big brown.  The blocks on the foundation were gone and it even removed 
the porch entirely.  She was taken to Atlanta with internal injuries and now we 
are getting news that is not good and we are afraid that we are going to loose 
her.  I'm not going to say 'prayer' ect and have a few send me multiple emails 
about what site is for ect. Just send warm thoughts or whatever you feel like 
doing.  Our family is just crushing under this situation. Even if she survives, 
this gorgeous lady with such awonderful husband and children and solid career 
is 
never going to be the same.  The power of this torando was so great that it 
removed a large oak tree with a plus 3 foot wide base and dropped it in a 
nearby 
field.  It didn't 'knock it over'.  It took the ENTIRE tree and set it back 
down 
on the other side of the road - ROOTS and all.
I got another family that is also in serious need and I will send that in the 
next email if you are gracious enough to read.

I just cannot imagine what that kind of devastation is like. In our house in
eastern TN it was very tense listening to the storm and waiting through the
hours of the tornado warnings and watches. The power wobbled a couple of
times but thankfully never went out. But I can only imagine whatever feeling
we had were multiplied exponentially by those who were actually hit by the
tornadoes. My heart goes out to them, and I'll be praying, Randy.

The tornadoes and extreme lightning hiot here last week. Before the 
tornadoes we lost power about 2 p.m.  My cell phone was low -- so I 
couldn't recharge it. And i could barley get out of bed and debated 
whether to stay or try to get up... since i'm paralyzed, i need 
electricity to move my bed. I called 911 but they didn't answer and i 
was low on on the cell.
they called me back asking what was my emergency. I said I didn't 
have any power  and they answered so what and that used up all my 
cell phone.
I have a landline and thought to call the power company. My landline 
was down. Fortunately after
three frightening hours the power came on and then the TV warned of 
the tornado. Where could i go?
What room would be safe?  Paralyzed and in a wheelchair all I could 
do was pry.  It touched down twice and ball lightning lit my house 
and thunder shook it. I was up until 8 a.m. and have just begun to

recover.

found one listed as Mystery Diag on youtube.   found several of them on there.
reminded me of my trip to the Dr the day i finally went.mine came on 
graduallythe day i went i was numb from the top of my head to the souls of my 
feet and could not walk at all.when i took a step it felt as if the world was 
moving away from my feet and i would fall.
 they thought i was in the pre stages of a stroke and freaked out and sent me 
to the ER in Charleston WV. just as it were meant to be, a neurologist was in 
the Er passing through and he diagnosed me in 5 minutes.he had 3 students with 
him. i was glad to be there for them to see,but more glad that he was there for 
me!

Such trouble and loss for so many;

I am so sorry and they all are in my prayers.  When I lived in College
Station, TX we were often under tornado warnings, but were always lucky.

When these terrible things happen we always come together and forget our
differences and rush to help each other.

Thank God for our spirit and soul as a people!

[TMIC] OT - I finally figured it out

2011-05-03 Thread Bernie
*I finally figured it out...  As I was conditioning my hair in the 
shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle.  I am in 
shock!  The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my entire body 
says For extra volume and body!
Seriously, why have I not noticed this before?  Tomorrow, I am going to 
start using Dawn dish soap!
It says right on the bottle, Dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult 
to remove.

_It pays to read the warning labels, my friends! _
