Ask Lucy: Practical Advice for the Modern Man

[ravensfan]

Well, Hurricane Iselle is for real ! I took everyone's advice...just finished taping up my windows and removing everything off the lanai. I have water, food, cash, batteries and tp. Car is filled with gas ,but after I pau work tomorrow, I'll top it off. I'll charge my cell phone if the electricity is still on when I get home. Oh, and I'll fill up the bathtub before I go to work. *sigh* I really don't want to go through this by myself. I'll admit I'm a little frightened. I just keep telling myself I've been through tougher situations before, I can do it one more time. waaaaaaaaaaa ! I've attached 2 before photos taken from my lanai tonight...We'll see what the view looks like tomorrow evening. A hui hou !

When it is of value to the recipient.

hey lucy, how can a modern man tell when his opinion is of value to the recipient?

 

[jpcavin]

When you are asked to give your opinion.

 

[burrocrat]

When you are asked to give your opinion.

it was a general question.

 

[jpcavin]

it was a general question.

It was a general "you".

 

[burrocrat]

now i've never been a general. but if i was, i would order the cooks in the mess to make the tarts less bitter.

Have you considered the possibility that perhaps you're a little low on sucrose?

Depends on how strong the wind is. Maybe a baby shark.

Lucy.... Should I follow this evacuation plan? I did stock up on beer just in case the water ran out.

 

[alevin]

Hang in there kk, sounds like you're prepared as you can be. My sis lived through a couple in past 10 years, not fun. lingering aftereffects that took awhile for her to recover from. financial and emotional, to certain extent she never has recovered from some of the financial impacts.

The beer should kill any bacteria that crop up after the storms. Keep your head down KK!

too funny. the hurricane evacuation plan is the same as shopping for beer in in utah at 2:30 am on a saturday night/sunday morning. except for in hawaii maybe less smashed windows.

Lucky I live on the west side of the Big Island. Most of the wind and rain damage was on the south and east side of the island. The mountains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa broke up the system which lessened the impact for me in Waikoloa. We are getting some rain and winds, but nothing like anticipated. Phew ! The post offices are still closed today and will resume operations tomorrow .
Yipee!!! now I can go back to sleep. Thanks again to all those who said prayers and wished me well. Julio is still going to bring some rain, but I don't think I need to be concerned.

Mahalo !

Good news, kk, glad to hear all is well (relatively speaking!)
