Wow Monken!  That was quite a day you had.  I'm sorry about your tv's and all, but glad you will be all right.  That was a close call   

Hoping you feel better mytime  and hoping  Sunny's DIL heals up well, keeping both in my prayers, as well as Sister's little sis, Connie.   I hope ANJ"s little Crystol improves.  She's in my thoughts and prayers.      

Thanks Muffy.  She is still same.  (   Monday can't get here fast enough.  If she gets worse, the good thing is the surgery center is also an ER so she will go straight there.

[Green Eyes]

Oh Monken! Thank God you the family and house are all right. I am sure you were scared spitless.  Things can be replaced, but you and your family can't.

Hello Monks,
I am just dropping by to say hey.  Looks like it is a slow night in the cage.   
That is probably a good thing, I am supposed to working on my "new" budget.  You know, that miracle budget that forever end my debt.

[Deenie]

HOLY BANANAS .......... Are we all falling apart or what ???

OMG ....... I don't know who to HUG first !

Mytime I think your still here - I hope you stay a bit. Hope your feeling better.

MONKEN - OMG = You must have been totally terrified beyond words - that is insane. I am so glad to hear your ALIVE.

Sunny - hope your DIL is healing (( I don't know what happened to her - but Still - Hope she is on the mend))

ANJ - Prayers for your Doggie

Monkey  O   Monkey  has been a lot on going in the last few days

I made an an appointment to go for talk therapy about my health issues and my fears for next week. Took the day off work ,went swimming, sauna, nap, cat sitting down the street. I'll be ok, my mind and imagination can be my enemy.

OMG YOU GUYS ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY!!! MY HOUSE WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!          WE WERE HAVING A TERRIBLE STORM AND JUST AS I LOOKED OUT THE CARPORT WINDOW IT HIT, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO TERRIFIED IN MY LIFE!!!  IT HIT A HICKORY TREE IN MY YARD AND TRAVELED FROM THERE TO  OUR OUTDOOR LITTLE STEP LIGHTS AND TO THE SOCKET WHICH IS MOUNTED IN THE CARPORT JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR WHERE I WAS STANDING!!!!    THE PERCUSSION WAS SO LOUD IN KNOCKED ME BACK AND SLAMMED MY TEETH TOGETHER AND I WAS TEMPORARILY DEAF!!! I WAS HYSTERICAL, I SAW THE WHOLE THING, A HUGE BLUE AND WHITE FIREBALL AND SMOKE EVERYWHERE!!!! THE BOX WHERE IT ENTERED THE HOUSE WAS BLOWN INTO A MILLION BITS AND THAT HIT  MY CAR AND CAUSED THE ALARM TO GO OFF. I THOUGHT IT HAD STRUCK MY CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE BUT IT WAS SO BAD OUTSIDE I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT STAND IN THE FRONT DOOR CRYING UNTIL THE FIRETRUCKS GOT HERE, I THOUGHT MY HOUSE WAS ON FIRE, I COULD SMELL AND SEE THE SMOKE!!! THE FIREMEN CHECKED EVERYTHING AND THEY ARE WHO FOUND WHERE IT HIT IN THE CARPORT. IT THREW THE BREAKERS IN THE HOUSE AND THEY RESET THAT, BUT ALL OF THE TV'S ARE BLOWN, ALL 4 OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    I CALLED MY HUBBY AS SOON AS I CALLED 911 AND HE IMMEDIATELY LEFT WORK AND HAULED ASS HOME.AND WE HAVE ALREADY HAD AN ELECTRICIAN CHECK EVERYTHING AND THANK GOD THE COMPUTERS HAD SURGE PROTECTORS. NOW EVERYTHING IN THIS HOUSE WILL HAVE THEM!!! WE ARE SO LUCKY MY HOUSE DIDN'T BURN DOWN OR MY CAR DIDN'T BURN UP!!! i have just now calmed down enough to post(sorry for all the caps) after a xanax!! I seriously have never in my life ever heard anything so loud; i can't even describe it!!!! If the lightning had hit that control box directly instead of hitting the tree first, i would probably be dead right now!!  The electrician said it would have blown a gaping hole in the wall & blown the door off!!!! My neighbor across the street had just walked to her living room to look out front when it hit and she saw all the smoke & called me immediately. I told her i was okay but I was calling 911. Allstate will be here tomorrow & another neighbor let us borrow a tv. The tree that it hit will have to come down, I have pictures i can post later, i just remembered that!  Anyways, I wanted all of my friends to know what kind of day i had! Hubby's gone for Mcdonalds since the excitement has died down! I don't drink but I think I could use a cold one! Love you all, Monken    

 

Thank goodness you're o.k. monken!

Fear is always the worst enemy. Don't go there!  Glad you going to talk to someone, but feel free to vent here.

I don't recall if I have posted this on SM or not. My Daughter told me about this video last week.

We are a Big Cat Loving Family - but this video too goes to show that " Animals are Amazing" beyond.

This is Nora and she is extremely Talented ...........

Monken,

Glad you are OK.  I am just north of you and we had terrible lightening, too.  I was skeered to sit on porch in metal chairs and it was so bright it hurt my eyes. 

[Green Eyes]

Hi Deenie & Brachiate 

Deenie I loved the kitten video, watched it on TV a couple nights ago.

Prayers to all the Monkeys who need them.
