    We're in the countdown.  For those in the NE will cut some slack due to power outages, but everyone else, it's now or never!  Midnite tomorrow nite is the end of the line.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Hi! I am definitely in. Haven't had power for days due to the storm in New Jersey! This is the first time I've been online. I will you email you my info tomorrow! I hope that is ok. Thanks

    Hi All!!

    Not too many signed up for the single dog swap...I'm going to make an executive decision and leave it open until Friday night :) I'll be making swaps and sending emails on Saturday!

    • Gold Top Dog

    I agree Meg.  I think that everyone in the NE will be back on by then.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Just to be picky....There are still people not even a mile from me that are without power.  There are still roads closed due to downed trees & power lines as well. This is crazy.

    • Gold Top Dog

    OK, I can't speak for Meg, but I'm willing to wait longer.  What do you think of maybe 48 hours after all the power is restored?  Is that enough time?  After all, folks have had several weeks to sign up, but I do know that some wait until the last minute.

    • Gold Top Dog

    I think waiting is a great idea.  I remember when we were out of electric for 2 weeks a while back, it is very wearing on the brain and the body.  I hope the electric gets back on soon for all that are needing it :)

    • Gold Top Dog

    OK.  Today is the absolute deadline for anyone NOT hit with a power outage since last Saturday  I know of no other natural disasters to be concerned about, but if I'm wrong, let me know.

    I AM going to do a couple of assignments this weekend because of the sheer distance involved for shipping.  The rest will wait a few days until everyone has power restored and a chance to catch their breath.  I'm sure that the very first thing folks will want to do is NOT get online.

    • Gold Top Dog

    I'm fine with it.  I may shop early but not for stuff like this.

    • Gold Top Dog

    I'd appreciate it if those who are close to affected areas would let me know what's up in their areas.

    Large swaths of CT are still without power. They're estimating most areas will have it back by Sunday, but I am skeptical - from what I heard, trees and lines are still down all over the place. More parts of NJ have power back, but some areas are still suffering without it.

    I've been off visiting BF, so have been safe and sound and with all the electricity a girl could want, but news from people back there make it sound like it's still awfully rough. So, if there are delays from people in CT and NJ, I wouldn't be surprised.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Thank you.  This is the sort of thing I'll depend on to determine when to close things down.

    Just got a phone call that power is back in BF's area of CT, at least (Hartford County). I'm guessing all will be restored within the next couple of days.

    I think NJ is just about all good. Last people near me without power got it back last night.

    I got it back Thursday.... ahhh LIGHTS!!
