Safety @ MindSay

Second, I wanted to fill folks in on the whole storm thing, since I've been getting phone calls and other assorted communiqués. We here are not in a path of Gustav, but we are getting rain bands and have been since this afternoon. Winds are not tropical storm strength, but they're out there. We'll have some winds, then a pounding of rain for a couple of minutes or so, then more wind then quiet. Repeat. If you look at a satellite image, you'll have an idea as to the size of this storm.
Third, my thoughts and prayers are with all y'all who live in that ominous "cone" up there in the northern Gulf region. If you're being told to evacuate, GO, all right? And remember to include a current utility bill, ID and some cash in your evacuation gear, all wrapped up neatly in a waterproof container, in case you need to prove yourself to get back home. Save some stress.
To everyone who will be more adversely affected than we are here, be safe. Run from water, hide from wind, is the adage I've been taught. And only take videos a) if it's safe or b) if you're with Jim Cantore!

Ok, umm... the jobs going good I'm started to get to like it a little. The hours are crazy long usually at least ten or eleven hours a day. But heck I'm young and I need the money so I'm not complaining.
Over the weekend I cleaned my apartment because my landlady said she was gonna be coming by to do some electrical work. Which is good because the power in my bathroom had been out for like a month. She also fixed a broken window that I now have to pay her back for (yeah I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna get the security deposit back when I move out). So, yay my place is clean and everything works again. This time I'm going to keep the place clean for a very long time. But i was disappointed I didn't find some of the things I'd been hoping to find when cleaning, But I did find a whole bunch of things I'd lost and a few dollars in spare change.
Saturday night I went with Coral to one of her friend's B-day party. I ended up getting crazy fucked up drunk. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
Over the weekend I bought a hand held 20Q games. Man is that thing freaky. How the hell can the little AI computer thing know what I'm thinking almost all the time? The online version is even freakier because it's AI is backed up by an computer that never stops learning. All I'm saying is that this thing seems a little bit too much like SkyNet for my liking. But still amusing.
Oh, I read the sad news about msdania 's house on the news page. Oh My God Dania I am so glad you are alright. A house is just a shelter and you can always replace your stuff (not to say that this isn't a tragedy, because it it) but your safety and the safety of your loved one and your memories of what was are what is really truly important. Try not to get all bummed out about it. I'll be praying for you.

A plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Germany after two British women tried to open a cabin door mid-flight, police have said.
The women, aged 26 and 27, were drinking heavily and had to be held in their seats by security staff until the plane landed in Frankfurt.
They were arrested and released after two hours, Frankfurt police said.
The XL Airways plane was flying from the Greek island of Kos to Manchester when Wednesday's incident happened.
An airline spokeswoman said the women were thought to have been smoking in the plane's toilet, and were suspected of bringing their own alcohol on board.
She said they had started to swear at and threaten staff who refused to sell them any more alcohol from the bar.
The women had then said they wanted to open the door to get "some fresh air" into the plane.

"Their language was totally unacceptable, as was their behaviour. They were very abusive and threatening," the spokeswoman said.
"We won't tolerate this sort of behaviour. The cabin crew did an excellent job and were very professional."
Reuters news agency reported that the 26-year-old woman tried to strike a flight attendant with a vodka bottle.
The incident happened at an altitude of about 10,000m (32,808ft) while the plane was flying over Austria.
Hartmut Scherer, a spokesman for police at Frankfurt International Airport, said the captain had thought the best option would be to make an unscheduled stop in Frankfurt and remove the women from the plane.
"Someone from the security held them in their seats until the landing," he said.
Two-hour delay
The women face charges of grievous bodily harm and violating air traffic regulations, according to Reuters.
The flight, XLA 237, which left Kos at 1445 BST, had 214 passengers and seven crew on board.
After stopping at Frankfurt, it later flew on to Manchester after a two-hour delay, landing at 1825 BST.
Meanwhile the women were questioned by police but released and allowed to return to the UK.
The XL Airways spokeswoman said the airline was considering taking legal action against the woman.
Mr Scherer said police were deciding whether to press charges, adding that the pair could also be fined or forced to pay compensation.
----dumb, just plain stupid..
Recently I had an occasion to have breakfast out which I do frequently and I saw a women and her daughter enter and be seated after me. I happen to look over and what I saw actually made my skin crawl. This woman had some of the longest fingernails I've ever seen, they looked like claws. These nails had to had been 3 inches long maybe a tad longer. They were so long until they actually curved onder. Now I ask you is this necessary? I watched her use a cell phone with her knuckle, writing was a chore I noticed also. I mean this to me, just the sight of those nails made my skin crawl. I thought women were a thing of beauty, thats why God made her different but this is a bit much, I'd say.
I'm not a sexist and don't mean to sound like one, but I think about this womans safety on the job and her employer. What do clients of her employer think about her nails, are they offended, is she a safety hazzard a liabality? Does she have to be especially carefull so as not to break them and injure her hands ? Is she a risk to her employer or herself, does she compliment her job with nails like this ? How does she perforn her household chores, washing, ironing, dishes, cooking without being a hazzard. Why would she want nails that long in the first place ?
How would you react to seeing someone with 3 inch painted fingernails like this, or would you have a reaction or have any comment ? I wonder ? I personaly found them offensive to me, they put me in mind of an animal or rather large foul. She's not the first I've seen with those nails, I had the same feeling the last time. Maybe its just me .....
I got the 2008 Honda Accord with the V4 engine (saves gas). It still has 190 Horsepower. She's gorgeous!
And Because Safety is always important!!!!.....................
But lets hope I never have to find out if those work properly!
