2. It'd be nice if it didn't start until AFTER I get home from work ...

Since we haven't had rain for a while, the roads are
going to be slick and dangerous ... ugh.

[Breeze54]

3. Got the same high wind weather warning and rain here in MA & RI tonight and tomorrow.

Everyone stay dry and warm!

[BeHereNow]

6. I've had the flu for six days now... I'm not going anywhere.

But I am SO sick of herbal tea and lying around
feeling like crap.

8. I have that same flu.

[BeHereNow]

15. For how long? I haven't been sick this long for YEARS! And it keeps changing-

It's like have three or four different flu bugs all at once?
Is that what's happening to you?

I think I'm going to break down and go see the doctor tomorrow.

16. It's been going around at my job, I caught it a week ago. It kinda goes up and down

You think you are getting better then "bam" it surges.

[Mojorabbit]

17. Same thing I got

and I am in my 5th week and feeling horrible again. Can't shake the cough. Hubby is in the same boat.

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. OMG! The cough is the worst part. Please don't tell me it can last for weeks!

Last night I had to get out of bed at 3am and sit upright on the couch for about an hour. The cough was making me feel like I was gagging.

[BeHereNow]

20. Yep... AND I never knew the body could produce THAT much SNOT!!!!!

I've gone through a box of tissue a day.
It seems to travel from my head to my chest and back again.
It's a REAL nasty one.

[WhoDoYouTrust]

27. All of you guys above me.....

I had the same, kept thinking it would go away. I finally went to the doctor and I had pneumonia. First time ever, and I'm no spring chicken. Knocked my socks off.

Thank goodness for insurance. Prescriptions were $300.00.

Go to the doctor!

10. You need a big bowl of chicken matzo ball soup from Jerry's Deli.

That'll fix ya up.

[BeHereNow]

11. Ah, but I don't eat fur or feathered people.

However, now that you mention soup, some Miso would be nice.
Thanks for all your support through Goober.
I can't tell you how much your being there meant to me through that
terrible ordeal.
However, I would be happy to buy your margaritas
when you have time to join a veggie taco gathering...

:hug:

[kestrel91316]

22. Yeah, we gotta get a group together either during the holidays or

if nothing else, for the inauguration.

I LOVE margaritas, lol!

[ColbertWatcher]

4. Thank you!

We Californians have our own seasons:

riot, fire, mudslides and earthquake.

[BeHereNow]

5. Don't even SAY that last one...

I've been feeling like a BIG one is coming.
We are over due...
yikes.
BHN

[ColbertWatcher]

7. Meh, it will come when it comes. I'm ready. n/t

[kestrel91316]

9. Howdy, neighbor! Forecast is for 1/2-4". Probably won't amount to much

unless the burn areas get heavy rain.

[BeHereNow]

14. Dark clouds gathering over here.

The sky over this way has been looking pretty
foreboding as far as what's blowing in.

Again- thank you for being there through Goober.
:hug:

I think the burn areas are the concern- I hope it
doesn't hit too hard there.
I think those folks have been through quite enough.

[kestrel91316]

21. I sure with I owned stock in that Hydromulch company right about now.

[alittlelark]

12. Heavy rains after fires often = mudslides.

[proud patriot]

13. I'm glad to getting some rain

:hi:

[PurityOfEssence]

19. About time...

The roof is patched (hopefully properly, but frankly, a good storm is what it'll take to see...) and tools and stuff are in. I'm off this week, just dealing with a few loose ends from a couple of jobs, and I think I'll just do a little relaxed puttering around the house.

We could use some rain.

[ContinentalOp]

23. Hey, what happened?

You jinxed it. Still dry as a bone here.

[spinbaby]

24. Oh, those poor people

Perhaps we should send them some of our lake-effect snow to cheer them up.

:evilgrin:

[Initech]

25. We just got pounded by a huge firestorm.

No vegetation on hills = mudslides. We may not get snow but we do get a lot of other shit during the winter.

[taught_me_patience]

26. I hope the rain holds off for my nightly trip down the 710

Man that freeway gets hazardous in the rain. The combination of rain, oil slicks, huge pot holes, and a wall of 18 wheelers is not good...

For those of you that don't know, 16% of all commerce in America flows through the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach and most of it gets loaded onto trucks that drive up the 710.
