Just a thought....
Thank goodness this is one of the small things to complain about.
Imagine if Irma would have come in here as a category 3. I bet then there would be many "big" things to complain about.
So happy she lost strength and came in as a category 1. It could have been complete devastation here!!!
The point... let's just be happy all is pretty good here and everyone can get back to work and we can get out of the house. I'm so ready!!

I am disgusted but not surprised about the things people find to bitch about.

And joyful about the things others find to celebrate.

The glass is full and flooded with good things to be happy about on this day of our lives.

The open houses were cancelled. They were already scheduled to appear in the paper.

You complain about open houses being unsafe for people to get to them. Yet, you were out driving around yesterday???

Good for you in helping friends.



And you are correct, you don't owe anyone an explanation.

When people work it is a good thing. Work and lack of laziness are excellent things.

Open houses sell houses and keep bread on the table for a lot of souls.

The main reason we decided to retire in central Florida is because hurricanes usually lose strength and are never at full strength when they arrive here. It would be next to impossible to have a Cat 4 or 5 ravage central Florida in our location.

Having said that......tornadoes are a different animal. They can cause much destruction here such as the tornado of 2007 that ripped through Caroline and Mallory.

Yes, "usually" lose strength. No guarantees.
I didn't say a category 4 or 5, however it could have easily been a 2 or 3 and that could have been devastating!! Then add to that the spinning off of tornados.

I posted a reply to this post yesterday and it's not here anymore. Just wanted to say "Sorry, didn't know you couldn't say B.S." It will not happen again.
