All the rain left me with this (dial-up warning, photos)

[lizziegrace]

It has rained all night long. This morning, I woke up to this all this. I hope too much of my driveway doesn't wash away. It's pouring over it. It's starting to come up through the cracks in the basement floor too. It's a good thing I'm home today. :(

1. lizzie

I wish I could just come and sweep you away from it all. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

3. Thinking of you

takes me away for a time. :)

It's okay. I've never seen the pasture under water like that. Bandit will either be angry or enjoy splashing in it.

I've got to get some boxes moved around in the basement so they don't get wet.

:hug:

:loveya:

2. it rained all nite here too--sorry you are having troubles today

[lizziegrace]

4. Thanks

:)

Everything happens for a reason. I needed to be home today to deal with the basement.

:hug:

5. Perfect for puddle surfing!

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

6. Yep!

If it was warmer than 50 degrees, I'd be out there barefoot in it. :hi:


Where've you been? More important, how've you been??

[jobycom]

12. Been fine

I've been around, just not as often. I've been apartment hunting and busy at work, and otherwise distracted. How are you, aside from soaked?

[BarenakedLady]

7. Yikes

It's raining here as well but not quite that bad. Stay dry!

[buddhamama]

8. wow.

you must have received quite the rainstorm. i am sorry, dear.

i will send good vibes your way. I have held you in my thoughts daily, a little more can't hurt, right?!

[lizziegrace]

9. Thanks

It rained steady (and hard) all night. It will take a few days for the water to recede in the pasture and weeks for the drainage ditches to dry out.

I'll take whatever you've got buddhamama. :hug:

I wish it was warmer. I really want to go play in it. ;)

[NewWaveChick1981]

10. OMG, Lizziegrace!

:hug: Please stay safe. It's pouring here this morning too, although nothing like what you've had. I hope it recedes soon! :hug:

[lizziegrace]

11. Yay!!

The sump pump is still working. :) I'm afraid to leave the house in case it fails. But I've got payroll tax returns to deliver.

[RetroLounge]

13. Wow! That's a lot of water!

Do you have a canoe? That would be fun...

RL

[lizziegrace]

15. I wish I did!

Either a canoe or an ark. ;)

[asthmaticeog]

14. Don't complain. Lakefront property costs a fortune up here in Clevo.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

16. That's true

Post storm property value soared!!

:hi:

Cool turntable. Too bad my ex got all the vinyl. :(

[asthmaticeog]

27. You let your ex take the vinyl?

If it were me, I'd have given him the kid, instead. :evilgrin:

Oh, I'm so going to hell for that joke... sorry lelapin! :blush:

[lizziegrace]

29. Let me 'splain

He also got the power envelope, pre-amp, tuner and all the other stereo stuff. Most of my vinyl was ruined in the 1994 ice storm when the basement flooded. We saved some, but I didn't have any way to play it and only could take what fit in a 14' U-Haul.

And no, you're not going to hell for that. You owe Lelapin flowers or something though. ;)

[asthmaticeog]

33. .

[lizziegrace]

34. That's a good start.

:hi:

[asthmaticeog]

35. Good start? I need to do more, then?

*sigh*

[lizziegrace]

36. We're high maintenance

What can I say? :shrug:

:)

You've paid your dues. ;)

[u4ic]

17. Insta-slough

:o


Considering your post yesterday, too...well, when it rains, it pours, doesn't it? :-( :hug:

[lizziegrace]

18. It certainly does

:(

I've gotten a couple calls today about temp assignments. They'll "get back to me". I just want to work.

:hug:

[u4ic]

23. Good luck, sweetie

so many good vibes are coming your way...:hug:

[lizziegrace]

24. Thank you

How do you like living sans roommate? I'm so glad you're able to live alone. :hug:

[u4ic]

26. Oooh...I LOVE it!!!

I am beyond happy having the space to myself.

Thanks, hon. :hug: :loveya:

[lizziegrace]

30. Yay!!

I'm so glad you're finally *home*.

:)

[SeattleGirl]

19. Yikes, lizzie!

Hope you dry out soon!

[lizziegrace]

20. The water's going down in the yard

The water in the basement is coming up - through the concrete floor. It'll be days until the runoff from the fields has stopped. Then things can really dry out.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hope it doesn't get too bad in the basement.

I've had a few leaks in mine, but nothing like what you're talking about.

[lizziegrace]

28. It's an old farmhouse with an old leaky foundation

But it's been here longer than I've been alive. I put the plastic storage containers on the floor and put cardboard boxes on top of those. It's obvious from the stains where the water runs (downhill to the sump pump pit), so I try to avoid putting anything there.

This place, despite it's quirks, fits like an old shoe. I love it here. :)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

21. Why does all the interesting stuff have to happen...

when I'm not there? :P :hug:

[lizziegrace]

22. At least I got it on film!

My Strickland yard sign is history. :(

Wish you were here sweetie. :hug:

Have you checked your work schedule for the weekend? Do you want to help Clark and me collect signatures for Amber Alert on Saturday?

Love you. :)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

31. True

Aww... I'm sure the campaign would be happy to give you another, right?

Me too... I think I can. I only work 8-10:30 Saturday. Sunday I'm working on.

Love you too!

[lizziegrace]

32. It's an afternoon game I think

and we're catching people in the parking lots because they have to give us their license plate numbers for the BMV to consider it as a true signature.

I'll keep you posted.

:)

[av8rdave]

37. Yech! Sorry you're dealing with that

I have really lucked out with the weather on my Columbus/Cincinnati trips this month. I'll try to bring some sunshine along next trip!

[lizziegrace]

38. I hope you do!

Fall and winter are notoriously gray and depressing around here.

:hi:

[av8rdave]

40. I'll do my best...

[reyd reid reed]

39. Damn...

got your snorkle gear and flippers handy?

I'm sorry, Sweetie. It'll be okay. It'll dry out.

:hug::hug::hug:

[lizziegrace]

41. I mini-flash flood

;)

It's better already. It'll take a few days for the fields to finally drain.

:hug:
