Thanks!
I just got back from running to the store to pick up an item I forgot yesterday after work.
It's definitely hurricane-ish out there, although we are in a lull with the rain, for now. I can't remember the last time I saw this much wind here (other than the fact that us Texans are well-known for bein' kinda' full a' wind, anyway ).
It looks like Harvey ground-zeroed our beloved Port Aransas. Have yet to see pics, but, it can't be good.
Anyway, like I posted before, I'm surprised it took this long for Texas to get hammered by a major storm again.
Prayers to all affected...

Stay safe.

We had a fun morning out except my dh says I should never again step foot into a Hallmark store. At least this year's ornaments are bought Moana fans who want the ornament better get it quickly they're selling out all over.

Really Disney?

This shocks me!! You're the second person on the forum here, who "likes" the smell of a skunk??!! I'm honestly wondering if people have specific DNA markers for example, that affects their sense of smell--that is completely different from other people's olfactory sense?

There are.

@donaldtoo , I just read about 15 minutes ago (it's 5:28 a.m. here now) that it's been downgraded to a Category 2 storm (from 4). so that's helpful. Not that a Category 2 storm is what anyone wants, but to hear that it's down a bit is a slight relief for some, I suppose.

Stay safe, friend. Prayers to all in Texas in the affected areas.

Sometimes storm cat 2 and lower is worse.. because the entire power of the hurricane (in winds and humidity) transform into pure rain downpours.

Come back when its over 5 1/2 bucks a gallon and then you will know my pain.

We're almost there, Mexico is supposed to have production of oil.. our government so corrupted ruined the local industry and now shutting down everything.. and importing stuff now.
Our oil is even more expensive than US's despite lower quality. :|

Freeform is a tv channel, it used to be ABC Family. They seem to run Harry Potter movies....a lot.

I'm glad that you heard from your family and hopefully they stay safe!

I hope they get all the growing pains figured out soon. Nothing new is perfect on launch day. I hope that talking through his worries helps your son feel more comfortable in his new school, too. Again, sorry you're going through this!!

I'm sure he'll be fine...he had a rough week sleeping, but we have therapy started now, too, where he is supposed to learn how to handle these situations, etc. So as the routine gets more familiar and he learns more coping strategies, it should get easier for him. I just wish it wasn't necessary...I hate seeing him so upset.
