Buy a Dishwasher, it's safer !!!!!

[Laura's Babies]

I was taught at a very young age to be scared of lightening and when I say scared... I mean terrified! Lightening was wicked where I grew up, it struck our TV one time, another time it got our refrigerator. It got in my uncle's house and bounced around all over the house and exited through his bath tub, blowing out his sewage line as it went down the drain and out of the house. One of the last times I was up there where I grew up, a storm came up and struck the house next door and set it in fire.. Yup! I am terrified of it! I will not answer the phone during a storm! Will not go near a water faucet, unplug TV's and stuff and shut up the house..

We had one here last summer that like to make gave me a heart attack. Lightening struck close by and I could hear it "pinging" somewhere then BAHM! Me and my cats freaked out! Soon as I crawled out from under the bed, I did a walk all over the house 3 to 4 times to make sure nothing was on fire.. In taking to a neighbor, it struck 3 TV's in her house and her computer and some other stuff I think.. YUP! I am STILL scared of it!

(I was kidding about being under the bed, I was on my sofa under the covers )

Yeah, we had a wicked sorm here last night, and it was close to, the time between the lightning and the thunder was only a couple of seconds, must have been near over the top of us. And yeah, we disconnnect everything to, to date we have blown a couple of modems.

When I was about 12 years old, one of my schoolteachers told me a story about when he was a stockman out in the plains country.....the storms out there are usually lightning only, no rain. It must have been in the early 1900's (as Mr Fox was about 65 yo at the time when I was 12 in 1960). He told us of the boy who drove the wagon with food and camp stuff to set up for the stockmen at the end of each day. There had been a terrible storm that day, and as the stockmen approached the camp near evening, they seen the boy sitting still on the wagon. He had a hole through his chest some 5 inches in diameter, straight thru his body the hole went, and completely cauterised....no blood or anything....this kid was dead as a doornail. He must had died instantly when the lightning struck him.

WoW what a Storm.. Glad everyone was ok.. Heck at my house it can just Thunder & all of the babies are under the bed.. Me well I just hide in the closet..

My dogs don't hide, Bear freaks out of course, he wanders around the house looking for the source of the noise the thunder makes. He makes this deep little growling noise while tilting his head from left to right (he always does that when he doesn't understand something). I swear that dog is human sometimes. Ruby being younger, well, she's harder to figure out, she just does not take her eyes off Bear, and does everything he does.........I guess Bear is her role model LOLOL.
