Thanks so much, Stone-Butch. Your offer is a comfort in itself.
Smooches,

You know , they say , that if there is snow on the roof, there is probably a fire in the furnace.

White hair will get you everywhere lol.

Lost my post again in the middle of writing it. SO this will be be shorter. Thanks to those of you who responded to say I was not alone. It helped. The storm is huge and still hanging over the state, but fortunately it is not as strong as many of them are. Most of the damage will be caused by water/flooding.


Just talked to a friend in Mulberry Florida. Her house is partially flooded. It has happened before and she was pretty stoic about it. I live on what they call the ridge. It is the highest part of Florida, about 300 feet above sea level. We have never had a flood. But my son, who is a truck driver is out driving in this mess and there is lots of flooding elsewhere.


The storm is moving cross Florida heading for Georgia and South Carolina and after that, who knows. My love and best wishes to those who are in her pathway.
Smooches,

After living where I do for the last 20 years and never having seen a tornado or earthquake and only street size flooding. I feel fortunate listening to news how others are suffering all over the world and knowing how lucky I am to be away from all that. Take nothing for granted and help those who need it. I believe that donations should be given if you have it to give to show your caring for those not so fortunate.

Stone-Butch,
I probably noticed before that you live in Canada, but it didn't get in to my brain until tonight. My Mom was Canadian, from Petrolia Ontario. A few weeks ago, when it was (horribly) looking like Trump might win the election, I was laying plans to move to Canada. My mother's family - my family - is very large. Recently I counted 50 cousins in London alone, with more in Toronto, so I would have a rather large support group upon arrival. No queerfolk though. In a family of that size, how could I be the only purple sheep of the family? There are however, many LGBTQ+ organizations/groups in the London Area.

Currently I have hope that Dems will win out. I really love FLorida and I'm mot dying to go back to the type of cold weather I lived with in my previous home of Michigan. My passport app is filled out and sitting on my desk. I still need to fill it out, since I cant go to Canada without it. I let my previous passport expire. My cousin, our family historian, has my mother's birth certificate, and I need that to be able to establish my own Canadian citizenship. Freedom is more important to me than warm weather, but I live in hope that the Dems will be successful and I will not be forced to leave my Florida Sunshine. Sorry, a very disjointed post. I'm tired and should be sleeping.
Smooches,
Keri

Keri, all of Church St in TO has moved half to Young St. and there are tons of gays of all ages down around there. It is the place to be. I was in Florida when I was driving truck once and it was in summer also. I would not move there if they gave me a free home to live it. It is ok for those who love and can take the heat but I like it up here sitting by my fire in winter and do not freeze. Last winter was almost like spring all winter, mild and few snow falls which we needed for the fires out in BC and Manitoba. If you have folks here you can come to visit and see how you like being partially out of the heat lol. It is hot as the devil here too. Almost all summer was in the 80s and 90s area with the humidity. Temps were 70-75 but felt much hotter and they had announcements often for older folks to stay in if possible so who needs it hotter than that I ask you. Anyway, Canada is here lol.
