Glad to hear you and D/H are safe;IRENE is a terror-nothing like the anger of a woman... Keep your great sense of humour;it helps in these trying situations. Will continue prayers for those so hard hit by this storm.

You are keeping your sense of humor amongst all of this. It is heartbraking to see all the devastation Irene has caused. Best in all of this "You are save". Please stay that way.

Good sense of humor. My heart goes out for you.
Hugs,
Linda

It is wonderful that you have not lost your sense of humour. Good to hear that you are safe. Hope your home has not suffered too much. Sarah.

Glad you are safe, that is the most important thing, my daughter lives in Maryland and she had to throw everything from her fridge because they have no power, she has a baby and she is cooking on her gas, charging her cell phone in the car to keep in touch with everyone because the phones are gone, but you know what, God has kept you all safe that is the most important thing, my prayer is with all those that have lost their loved ones and their homes.

Thank goodness you're safe. Your sense of humor is still going - that's what helps get us through things sometimes!

Glad you're safe. I hope the damage to your house is minor!

I am so glad that you and your family are safe and that you have retained a wonderful sense of humour Good luck with the clean up and I hope your house sells quickly!!!

I am truly impressed with your composure and apparent calmness. Good luck with your house and your situation, etc. I know a lot of people are in a tough spot right now!! I keep wishing that an airplane will use my house to cushion the fall (no one at home of course) so that I can get something that I can get around in better...no stairs. Maybe your insurance company will buy up your house and you won't have to go through the pain of trying to sell it?? :) Good luck and keep up the positive spirit!!

I am happy that you are safe!;)

Thankful that you are safe! Maybe it won't be so bad when you see the damage. Good luck and keep us posted! Praying for all of you victims.

Glad to hear that it is better now. Love Marie

Thanks for letting us know you are fine.
Be careful what you think what might happen next.
We had locusts ..... and then came the mice!!!!!
Locust bodies painted our car with sticky goo and the mice invaded my lovely warm, clean sewing room.

Glad you are safe and able to let us know....Hugs Sally

Dear Deb,

So glad to see you are o.k. It's good to keep your sense of humour in these circumstances. Good luck with selling your home too, I hope it hasn't been damaged by all the aftermath of Irene. Love and blessings Chris

Wonderful to hear that you and your family made it through the storm. Prayers that life will be back to normal soon for you.

I've come in late on your post so I can only echo what everyone else has said, thank God you are safe and still have your sense of humour.
It's really no good crying because you will only end up with red eyes, a runny nose and a headache, which would only make dealing with everything so much harder.

I truly believe HE gave us all a sense of humour as a coping mechanism to help us get through all the traumas life throws at us.

So hang in there, keep laughing and looking for that silver lining.
Your basement probably needed a good clean out, right?
Hugs and prayers, Meganne
