That sounds scary Saquira. Good luck and stay safe.

Ah, you see, the underwear-clad Skyrim playing would take place after the power's gone back on but the city is still in complete lockdown. Before that I would be all wrapped up and not playing Skyrim on account of there being none of the magical Tesla juice flowing forth from the bounteous and ever fertile teats of the Wall Plug Electricity Goddess.

Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone. RL is giving me a bit of a fit lately and so I haven't been around much, hopefully there will be a turn soon and I can get back to something resembling normal...well, normal for me anyway. I hope everyone around here is doing well and that forum life is wonderful.

Wow, that sounds pretty awful. Texas never gets that much snow. We've had 80 degree weather this week; no idea how that works. I wish y'all the best in Stockholm. Nothing would be working if we got that much snow.

Thank you guys. My dad and sister have gotten sick, but otherwise we're okay, and things seem to be getting better. However one of my friends said she heard there'd be a snowstorm tomorrow again, which I really hope isn't true, but at least we don't have to go to school tomorrow. Yesterday the roads were even worse than Wednesday, and another friend of mine said she saw three crashed buses on her way to school. Really the thing you'd like to see when you're in a bus, isn't it? We haven't gotten much more snow since Wednesday either, and they have finally gotten around to plow most of the roads, though there's still a lot of snow on them. Most buses and trains actually run now as well, though not as often.

Colonel Mustard: Yeah, I think it does. It would be possible though, to do it when the power's out. Only you'd need a laptop that can play it which's got a good battery, and you might want to do it in front of a lit fireplace.

I tried to get ahold of some twinkies but I think I was too late. I looked all over Walmart and couldn't find any, so
I'm mad that I didn't get to have my favorite childhood snack one more time. I also ended up getting yelled at by my friend because I delayed the trip to Walmart according to him. I WAS gonna buy as many boxes as I could carry, even though I probably wasn't going to finish them all, but as usual I was too late.

I wanted to thank everyone that sent their kind prayers and thoughts for my mother and family during this time. Your friendship and support through this has been so appreciated. I know at times like these it feels like no words are adequate to bring comfort, but believe me it does help.

There is no way to even begin to talk about what these past two weeks were like. My mother and I had some close times and talks, hugged a lot. When you have the grace of advance warning and time to say goodbyes...it is never enough time and the right words don't always come. There could never be enough time or enough words to convey what she meant to me in two weeks. I know I didn't say enough, hope I didn't say too much.

I just got back home, had to leave on the 5th to make room for my older sisters and their husbands, but may go back and spend more time with my mom after they leave.

@ Saquira - bless your heart on that power outage and snow, I hope it has gotten better for you and that you were able to stay warm and safe!

@ Mustard - Fertile teats? I may never look at a wall plug the same way again!

@ King Of Beasts - Lol on buying as many boxes as you could carry. I didn't buy any when I heard they were going out of business, in spite of liking their "Ho-Ho." It does show the power of a strike, but kind of makes you wonder - what kind of company would close their doors rather than negotiate with the union/what the H was the union demanding that stuck so badly in their craw/and how many disgruntled employees spat in the Twinkies before going on strike?

...Sorry to hear all that mALX... ...

Glad you're back all safe though...

Talking of back...

Sloooowly creeping my way back to what was normality here...To explain what has been going on over the past few weeks..Or is it months?...Aaaamywho...It's a strange tale...

But...Hey, mothers rock!!...Yes they do...Well, most of them do...Look, mine did, okay?!...

Aaaamywho...Now I'm getting a hold on things again...(And my brain's slowing down again)...I'll catch up on things around here...

So, again...*Rollseyes*...Meesa back!...

I'll catch up with yer stories in good order...

Many bests to you all...*Waves*...

My mother called tonight, my dad is back in the hospital and there is no one to care for my mom now. I'm going back to Florida to stay for at least a month. For those whose story I'm following I will get to them as I can and catch up when I have to. (sorry )

...

Be careful on the journey...

Sorry to hear it mALX. You will be missed until you are back among us.

I'm really sorry to hear that mALX, and you'll be sorely missed. Safe journey up there, and all the best.

I know you will bring great comfort to your mom and dad. Safe journey, my friend.

I'm sorry mALX, and I hope that you'll have a safe journey.

On a positive note, 3/4 final exams done.

I've heard of quarter-finals, and semi-finals, so presumably the 3/4-finals are the ones in between semi's and the full finals?

Let us know who wins.

Safe travels, mALX. It must be terribly difficult for your parents to be separated from each other right now. I know your being there will be a comfort to both of them.

KC, you are blazing through your exams! Best of luck on the last one.

Hahaha. I think it's going to be 2 and 2.


Thanks!

Is this forum still alive?

Yep.
