The Mouse House is done

Its 3:25 in the morning now (Dont worry, have slept a bit until a squirrl or something got tossed into the window).

This is BS really. Only thing we've gotten here at the house is a little rain...and I do mean little.

And a lot of wind.....hm. Wonder if I should capture some and sell it on ebay like that moron did with Frances.

Granted I know a lot of places got slammed and this is really only the middle of the storm. But this damn thing is like a NASCAR driver, speeding through here like a bat outta hell with its tail on fire at like 14 mph but still....

Well back to sleep for me.

Has any else considered that the storms might be the Wrath of God over Eisner still being around -- sort of a "let my people go" kind of deal? Just a thought. :)

I just seen that FEMA and the American Red Cross has spent more money this year on hurricanes than 9/11. It appears that all major theme parks are open. The cruise ships are departing form Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale Monday. The airpots are open and 1.5 million homes statewide are without power. Price gouging has seemed limited where I'm at, but if anybody has seen any price gouging please post that here. Currently Jeanne is a tropical depression and is located over Atlanta, Georgia.

Emergency Numbers if you need them

FEMA 800-641-FEMA

Red Cross 800-GET-INFO

I hope that nobody needs these numbers.

Was wondering which coast Eisner was on during the wknd. Sure wish Jeanne could have blown him away. Ding Dong & who'd care if Eisner was gone

Finally...Indy has come back from the Amish Paradise!

Got power back today, WAHOO!

Yeah, FEMA broke their own record AND this year alone, more money has been used to aid Florida than any disaster in American History, or so I think I read the front page right.

Anywho, anyone catch that line from hell at the convention center to get the Hurricane Aid? :shock:

Hey coldfire....why was it when I walked through the park today that I still saw the eye sore? I thought you guys unscrewed the bolts on that damn thing

Well, credit must go Robin Williams for the Keith and roaches part, but the eisner part I added.

Why? Because Eisner is what a roach would look like at the top of it's evolutionary chain

And sorry to the Redneck God, Jeff Foxworthy, but I have to do it.

You might be a Floridian if...

You have more than 20 C and D batteries in your kitchen drawer.

The freezer in your garage is full of homemade ice.

You flinch when you are introduced to a person named Charley, Frances or Ivan.

You find yourself dropping words like "millibar" and "convection" into everyday conversation.

Your pantry contains more than 10 cans of Spaghetti Os.

Making coffee on your propane grill does not seem like an odd thing to do.

You are thinking of repainting your house to match the plywood covering your windows.

When describing your house to a prospective buyer, you say it has three bedrooms, two baths and one safe place.

You are on a first-name basis with the cashier at Home Depot.

You are delighted to pay $2 for a gallon of unleaded.

The road leading to your house has been declared a No-Wake Zone.

You decide that your patio furniture looks better on the bottom of the pool.

You have the number for FEMA on your speed dialer.

You own more than three large coolers.

You can wish that other people get hit by a hurricane and not feel the least bit guilty about it.

Three months ago you couldn't hang a shower curtain; today you can assemble a portable generator by candlelight.

You catch a 5-pound catfish. In your driveway.

You can recite from memory whole portions of your homeowner's insurance policy.

At cocktail parties, women are attracted to the guy with the biggest chain saw.

You have had tuna fish more than 5 days in a row.

There is a roll of tar paper in your garage.

You can rattle off the names of three or more meteorologists who work at the Weather Channel.

Someone comes to your door to tell you they found your roof.

Ice is a valid topic of conversation.

Relocating to North Dakota does not seem like such a crazy idea.

Here's some more funny Florida stuff

*Things People who live in Florida are learning:*

Coffee and frozen pizzas can be made on a BBQ grill.

No matter how many times you flick the switch, lights don't work without electricity.

Kids can survive 4 days or longer without a video game controller in their hand.

Cats are really irritating without power. (I believe! That no matter how hard to try...you can't baptise cats-Larry the Cable Guy)

He who has the biggest generator wins.

Women can actually survive without doing their hair - you just wish they weren't around you.

A new method of non lethal torture - showers without hot water.

There are a lot more stars in the sky than most people thought.

TV is an addiction and the withdrawal symptoms are painful. One day at a time, brother.

A 7 lb. bag of ice will chill 6 - 12 oz. Budweiser's to a drinkable
temperature in 11 minutes, and still keep a 14 pound turkey frozen for 8 more hours.

There are a lot of trees around here.

Flood plan drawings on some mortgage documents were seriously wrong.

Contrary to most Florida natives' beliefs, speed limit on roads without traffic lights does not increase.

Aluminum siding, while aesthetically pleasing, is definitely not required.

Just because you're over 21 doesn't mean you can stay out as late as you want. At least that's what the cops told me during a curfew stop.

Crickets can increase their volume to overcome the sound of 14 generators. (This is the best one, period)

People will get into a line that has already formed without having any
idea what the line is for.

When required, a Chrysler 300M will float... doesn't steer well, but floats just the same.

Some things do keep the mailman from his appointed rounds.

Tele-marketers function no matter what the weather is doing.

Cell phones work when land lines are down, but only as long as the battery remains charged.

27 of your neighbors are fed from a different transformer than you, and they are quick to point that out!

Laundry hampers were not made to contain such a volume.

If I had a store that sold only ice, chain saws, gas, and generators...I'd be rich.

The price of a bag of ice rises 200% after a hurricane.

Your water front property can quickly become someone else's fishing hole.

Tree service companies are under appreciated.

I learned what happens when you make fun of another state's blackout.

MATH 101: 30 days in month, minus 6 days without power equals 30% higher electric bill ?????

Drywall is a compound word, take away the "dry" part and it's worthless.

I can walk a lot farther than I thought.

It is possible to sleep at night with the Florida Philharmonic 4,000 Frog Orcestra sitting outside your window.

Gov. Jeb Bush held a special news conference in Tallahassee today to inform the people of Florida of new state symbols. The changes take effect immediately and must be implemented by all official agencies. The changes are as follows:

The Florida State Flag will now be a blue tarp...............

The license plate symbol of two oranges will be replaced by a chain saw.....

The new State song will be "Blowing in the Wind"..................

The state motto will now be..."Oh my God, Here comes another one".....

The new state beverage will be.............anything with an alcohol base.

The new State tree will be ...............any that are left standing at the end of hurricane season.

The new State Bird will be the "whipper"will.............

The new State nickname will be "State of Disaster"................

And last but not least keep in mind, that Disney will be the "last man standing" as they are up and running...............
