Pray for Me! I'm snow bound in my house...

[RetroLounge]

Milwaukee: 1" to 2" of snow PER HOUR! There's gotta be over a foot so far, and it's getting worse now. The winds are gusting to 40mph, and the drifts have buried my car in the driveway. I've shovelled once, but now there's no real point. I couldn't even find the sidewalk. My front door is drifted shut. The neighbors with snow blowers have given up for now, since the drifts just recover their work in about 10 minutes.

and the snow plows? Ha! Saw one at 8am, and not another one since.

2 cars are stuck in the street between me and the only way out, as I live on a dead end street.

So, I have:

A package of Oreos.
12 pack of Dew.
A pack of Camels.
A good book. (Well, hundreds, but you know...)
A wireless connection.

I'm good. for now...

1. You should read a hot steamy x-rated book

To melt the snow!! :rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

4. I'm stuck in my house ALONE!!!

Don't torment me with thoughts of being snowbound with a special DU'er (or two)...

:cry:

RL

[azmouse]

2. I wouldn't like the snow but...

the idea of being at home with sweet treats and books and no where to go sounds like heaven.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

[RetroLounge]

8. Yeah, that part is heaven...

:hi:

RL

[Sequoia]

3. I hope you have a fire place or heat.

'cause all that snow surrounding your house is going to make you one cold puppy. Don't eat the furniture.

[RetroLounge]

5. The furnace seems to be working okay...

No fireplace. I miss my fireplace in my old house...

RL

[Sequoia]

21. Aren't they the coziest!?

I have a wood burning stove and don't use the electric heat at all. Maybe you can get one of those instant fireplace things they sell these days, but they can only be used outside I guess. Keep warm.

[TommyO]

32. but you may have one again, right?

(my fingers are still crossed for you).

[RetroLounge]

35. Oh, the new place has a fireplace

but it's not a working one, unfortunately.

RL

[TommyO]

71. Well that's just not right

x(

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. You should be able to get a pretty good buzz off Oreos and Mountain Dew.

They'll find you in the Spring when the snow melts, and you'll still be vibrating.

[RetroLounge]

7. But when I run out of smokes?

:scared:

I may have to WALK 4 blocks to the gas station!!!

RL

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. OH NOES!!

[rurallib]

64. when I was a kid I had to walk 12 miles uphill both ways in a blizzard

for a pack of smokes!

[LaurenG]

15. Rofl

:rofl:

[JVS]

10. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you and melt your snow.

The Lord lift up his temperature on you and give you peace.

[RetroLounge]

11. Cool!

Can he bring me smokes?

RL

[JVS]

12. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

VERBUM DOMINI

[joneschick]

13. Yeah, I'm waving from my snow drift over here.

Everyone is home safe and sound. We're low on milk but Walgreen's is a block away--and that's only about an hour or so from the looks of it. sigh. The kid that was going to shovel never came back. I did get in other provisions yesterday so we're good. Take care, stay warm. :hi:

[lost-in-nj]

14. I would have bought the staples

like

more smokes
hot chocolate
milk
and in my case beer
BEFORE the storm hit...

stay safe

at least you have those toasty warm red underwear to help keep you warm
when you go outside to shovel!!!

:hi: :hug:

lost

[ThatsMyBarack]

16. Good evening, and good luck!

:hi:

[applegrove]

17. Sounds cozy. Like you'll have some well deserved downtime. Your dinner sounds

great!

[Madrone]

18. Smokes and Dew - you're straight for the next 12 hours anyway!

:D

I feel your pain. I already can no longer see my fence, snow is pressed up against and obscuring the view from at least 2 windows in the house, when I let the dogs out there's nowhere for them to GO --- and we're s'posed to get another foot tonight.

[SPKrazy]

19. What exactly are your requests my son....

more smokes?

More Oreos

PIE???

:evilgrin:


stay warm

[RetroLounge]

23. Oh, I think I could go a long time without smokes and oreos

But I am jonesing for the other...

RL

[Flaxbee]

20. hey - have you heard anything about that apartment you

saw last week?

[RetroLounge]

24. Not yet.

I faxed in my application and paid for my credit check.

Just waiting now...

RL

[texas1928]

22. We must mount an expedition, to come and rescue you...

Googling Dog sled teams and Arctic heroes.

[RetroLounge]

26. Bring a snowmobile...

RL

[rug]

25. You better get more cigarettes before it's too late.

[RetroLounge]

28. I got a pack in the car.

I could dig it out in an hour if necessary...

:D

RL

[Callalily]

27. I just LOVE being

snow bound. You're farther south than me and the big stuff missed us. But last week, when it was so blasted COLD and snowy and windy, I stayed home for the day and just relaxed with a good book. A wonderful, mini-vacation.

Hoping you stay safe and warm.

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

29. Yeah, it has been relaxing...

:hi:

RL

[Chovexani]

30. My poor girlfriend's in Milwaukee

Buried under her cats for warmth.

Here, I'll send a representative from this congregation to minister to you in your time of need:

[RetroLounge]

36. Hope she's safe and warm and cozy...

:hi:

RL

[ThomCat]

31. I hope you stay warm.

:hug:

Don't eat all the Oreos or drink all the Dew. You'll get restless from the sugar and caffeine. :P

[RetroLounge]

33. and then I'll be up all night!

with nothing to do...

:scared:

RL

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Yikes!

I hope you don't get hungry for real food...
Stay warm!

[RetroLounge]

37. I have a few days worth of real food too...

I'll be fine...

:hi:

RL

[Guava Jelly]

38. Prey?

:D

[RetroLounge]

39. She's hawt...

RL

[HuskerDU]

40. Same here my friend!

I don't see how anything can happen tomorrow, and I like that. :hi:

[RetroLounge]

45. I'm thinking I'll be home tomorrow too...

:hi:

RL

[HuskerDU]

49. Are you sure?

Well good luck to you. Drive safely.

[RetroLounge]

54. Not really...

wishful thinking on my part...

RL

[mzteris]

41. You should plan better!!!

Like being snowed in at MY house.

:evilgrin:


(sans my kids, of course. . . dunno what I'd do with 'em, but I'd think of something!)

[RetroLounge]

42. See, I had you on my list of supplies I needed...

...in case this happened.

You're in the wrong town!

:hi:

RL

[graywarrior]

43. You need more than prayers, my friend

[RetroLounge]

44. Yes I do...

Wanna come over be snowbound with me...

:evil:

RL

[graywarrior]

48. I'll ski my ass there

[RetroLounge]

51. Are you the snow-bunny type?

:D

RL

[graywarrior]

53. Fuck no.

[RetroLounge]

55. Bring coffee...

:hi:

RL

[graywarrior]

58. Real or decaf?

[RetroLounge]

61. What is decaf?

:shrug:

RL

[graywarrior]

63. Gotcha

Coffee and donuts.

[RetroLounge]

65. Perfect!

:loveya:

RL

[graywarrior]

67. With or without holes?

[RetroLounge]

70. Coffee has holes?

:shrug:

RL

[graywarrior]

72. No, but obviously your head does.

[soleft]

46. I hope its not sugar free mountain dew!

We had a pretty good blizzard in the NE about 5 years ago. My gf and I had decided to go away that weekend, it was Presidents Day weekend in fact, and we were stranded in a hotel in Rehoboth Beach, DE. It was us, and an gay AA convention snowed in for two days. Everytime we went down to the restaurant and ordered a glass of wine, everyone turned and looked at us like we'd just stolen the silverwear.

[RetroLounge]

47. Too Funny!

:rofl:

RL

[KitchenWitch]

50. But do you have COFFEE?

:D

[RetroLounge]

52. NOPE!

Send the St. Bernards, RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!

RL

[madrchsod]

56. my son in janesville just called----

about 18 inches and about 30 mph winds....winter in the midwest...

[RetroLounge]

60. Ain't it grand!

:scared:

RL

[lizziegrace]

57. Very, very poor planning on your part

the alone part, that is.

:hug:


:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

59. Yeah, I was hoping the cute neighbor would come by...

But she's been gone for days...

:shrug:

RL

[Xipe Totec]

62. Meanwhile, its February in Boston and it's raining

There's only a few chunks of ice left here and there. The rest melted away like lumps of sugar.

I've had colder winters in Houston.

Hang in there!

[RetroLounge]

66. I'd rather be in Boston...

Or Pittsburgh, even...

RL

[Tektonik]

68. I've been wearing shorts the past two days if that helps any

:P

[RetroLounge]

69. Welcome to my ignore list
