• Melaney B. Posted : 8/28/2006 9:08:34 PM Best wishes for you and the others in your situation. I understand that you want to get this kind of news out, but, not to sound mean, but me and probably a lot of others on the forum would appreciate it if you'd post this in the NDR (none dog related) section! Thanks and good luck! -Melaney 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Katie M. Posted : 8/28/2006 9:46:23 PM Well, it was heading right for us in Tampa Bay, but now they say it's heading towards the East Coast and southern Florida.  Good luck to you!  Hopefully he'll fizzle out before he gets here! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 8/29/2006 10:47:50 PM I'm near Orlando -- let's hope this one is a big fizzle.  Fuel for all those who think this is a slow news week.  It's gotten a lot of media hype because it's the year anniversary of Katrina -- my boss didn't know whether to say the office was closed or not for tomorrow, so we're on "wait and see".    Let's all collectively join hands and pray, think good thots or whatever we do and talk Ernesto into just fizzling completely!!!! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ladiebug Posted : 8/30/2006 5:34:32 PM Amen to that.  We've been praying and preparing.  Monday, I couldn't get gas to save my life, so I got my groceries, came home & began hanging shutters.  SU was to return from business trip Fri, he got an earlier flight Tues afternoon.  He finished preparing & we waited.  I'm thrilled to report all we had, so far, are gusts of wind & rain.  Let ALL hurricanes be like Ernesto! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Katie M. Posted : 8/30/2006 6:28:00 PM Ernesto has now been downgraded to a tropical depression.  (I guess he's depressed because he didn't make it to hurricane status).[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 8/30/2006 6:31:27 PM Hey -- I'm typing THIS during a hurricane (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww whooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) ... so close your eyes and imagine with me ok???   I'm NOT complaining that Ernesto is just one BIG DRIZZLE -- but I do feel badly for all the people who had their kids home from school (schools closed over most of Central FL today) or who had to take them TO work (altho some stuff was closed today).   ON the good side -- traffic was GREAT today!!! Darned near going TO work this morning to just zoom in!!! LOL   We're just getting rain (which we don't truly need desperately) -- I"m gonna vote for Ernesto as my 'favorite' hurricane!! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
