Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Jan: Sorry to hear the news about your friends. Also, your friend's husband... That is terrible. Such a freak accident.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Jan, you really made my day by saying your doctor doesn’t think most need to back onto the prednisone! I will keep that in my head! Debby [ ] Hurricane Hi everyone....like Anita Ive been looking at the satellite picture of the hurricane heading for US east coast. Hope everyone living in its path keeps safe. We're having a few more than normal earthquakes, yesterday we had two but no bigger than 5. Hurricanes and earthquakes give me the willies. Debby...your doctor sounds pessimistic. There's a high percentage of AIHers who apparently dont need to go back onto pred when its controlled by imuran etc. At least according to my doctor. I have vowed I will never ever go back on pred but when and if the crunch time comes I may change my mind. Ive got osteoporosis upper spine, dont take anything for it as my doctors wont give me anything....but although I dont do weight bearing exercises as such, I do a lot of digging and lifting keeping my garden free of jack in the beanstalk type of weeds. hope everyone's doing OK....amy your procedure sounded horrible, like Joan I need painkillers just reading it. take care everyone. .....its great news that Patty is doing so well with her new liver, pity her incision is taking so long to heal. Ive had a few bad days involving friends. Everyone seems to be getting cancer. Also my great friend's( who has ovarian cancer) hubby drowned while fishing off the rocks. Apparently he caught a big fish and while reeling it in, in whoops of laughter, he fell into the fast flowing river. Love Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Thank you for the update, Tammy. So glad you were lucky on the damage front - hope the others have faired as well. Sherry tammyplus4 <tammyplus4@...> wrote: Hello all I talked with this morning and the area they went to was spared by the storm. Her husband was on his way to see what damage they were up against back at home. They had been in contact until Saturday with some of their neighbors & knew what to expect. It didn't sound as bad as it could have been, thankfully. I asked her to call me as soon as she knew more. We are still feeling the effects of the storm as of late Monday afternoon. This storm is soooo slow moving. I have lived here all my life & never seen anything like this before. Most of our city is without power. I am blessed to have power throught it all & A/C!!! I am so thankful to have just tree damage & fence damage. Could have been so much worse. Hope that all the other Floridians fared well throughout the storm. Hang on folks, Ivan is on the way!!!

It is a huge dangerous storm and we are all at risk, some more than others. Pray for the safety of the people, property can be replaced. We are on the Northshore and not in as much danger as those in New Orleans and Metairie, who are way below sea level. I will let you know how we all made out.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Amen and amen!! <><TammieD><> > Thanks to all who prayed. We were spared the heartbreak of floods and high winds which destroy property here in Louisiana. Many of our neighbors in Alabama and Mississippi and Florida were not so lucky. God's ways are not like ours and not to be questioned. He is our loving father no matter what and at times we must endure hardships, as He did when He walked this earth. He has a plan for our lives, which we can't understand now. One day we will, and our reward in heaven will be great. Keep the faith and never doubt that He is with us, helping us along as we go through each day. Terry > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 You are so right, Mark...the only news you get of the side effects of Ivan (or any hurricane) is the damages occured directly in the path of the hurricane. People don't think of what other effects things like hurrincanes have. I don't read mainstream press...been lied to way too many times in the last 3+ years. But I read alternative press and it is covering the results of the Ivan. Any major disruption in our atmosphere like hurricanes, tornadoes, etc., all have cause and effect. Bush was quick to declare his brother's state, Florida, a disaster area following Frances...has he declared WV or Ohio disaster areas. Bet he will declare Ohio a disaster area...it's a swing state in the elections. But WV...I doubt he'll give it a second thought...especially since that is Senator Byrd's state and doesn't have many electoral votes. My heart goes out to the people in areas that are forgotten in the aftermath of Ivan. Tatezi Re: hurricane Ivan is finsihed yet. wheeling WV had 9.5 inches of rain Fri, Pittsburgh PA had 7, an all time record for one day. The initial flooding was the creek's quickly overflowing, stranding kids in schools blocking roads knocking out electric and all that sor tof stuff. That receded by this morning. My son's soccer field is covered with silt and the goals full of debris. Now the Ohio river is slowly rising. It is almost surreal, because it is warm sunny and still out, but the Ohio keeps rising, forcing 10s of thousands to flee their homes and will peak an estimated 13 feet over flood stage on Sunday. More millions in dollars worth of damages, which on it's own would have been national news but as merely a side effect of Ivan, isn't even getting mentioned. I spent the day emptying basements and helping people move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran and Bertha, together, took down trees that knocked a wall of my Mother's house along with other damage. Floyd did more damage with it's with flooding. I, too, have bailed my basement out. Hurricane Hugo killed people in Charlotte, N. C. and in the North Carolina mountains as well. The only way not to be damaged by a hurricane is for the hurricane to head East and head out to sea.
