CCIntrigue...aka Gwen

NaCole, has he been checked for a hiatal hernia? Mine ended me up in the ER a couple of times before my doctor figured it out. I have a small hernia (worse than having a big one). The edge of my stomach sometimes gets caught in my diaphragm, and the pain/nausea is bad. Until I learned to control it with diet, doctor gave me pills to numb my stomach.

Sorry to hear you lost that much of your crop but grateful a lot was spared! I'm praying for your strong recovery too.

So happy to hear so many fiends are okay! Talked to my daughter today. She and her family live in Amicalola Falls State Park in northwest Georgia. She said the park looks like a war zone now. But thankfully no one was hurt.

I've seen posts from them on FB. All are okay. I think TJ and Missy are still without power.

Just talked to my aunt in Brandon, about 11 miles east of Tampa. She's in a nursing home there. Totally unconcerned about the hurricane. (She's lived through a lot of hurricanes, both on the NC coast and in FL.) My cousin and his family live in Brandon too and are also going to ride it out at home. Praying for safety for all my family, fiends, and friends in Florida!

Praise the Lord! Everyone in FL please keep checking in when you can. Praying for you all.

Don't know where your friends live, but the latest forecast shows the storm going west of the Appalachian mountains. Good news for us. Hope they get home safely. Last year we left the Fort one day ahead of the evacuation. Traffic was horrendous. We went up 75 to Atlanta. Added 100 miles to our trip home, but it kept us off 95 and 26. If they are heading to 26 it could be a problem because coastal areas in SC are beginning evacuation.

Same here. I have a 72mm lens on my camera -- lots of glass to catch the "snow."

Everyone please stay safe! If you are told to evacuate, please get out ASAP! Even though we're roughly 150 air miles from the ocean, we're not immune to hurricanes here. In 1989 Hurricane Hugo made landfall in SC and then went inland straight to us. We were without power for 5 days. Traveling around the city was impossible because of all the downed trees. It looked like a war zone. Our neighbor was in Colorado when the storm hit and came home to 11 trees down on his house. We're stocked up on water, food, batteries, gas, etc., and praying for everyone in the potential landfal

Continuing to pray! I'm happy to hear you are okay. Please keep us posted.

Thanks for checking in! Happy to hear you are okay.

I'm in too. Better late than never.

Our church here in NC is partnering with a Texas church. An 18-wheeler left here this morning filled with food items. They asked for single-serving food items, food with pop tops, bottled water, etc.

Jean Ann (and the rest of us) really wants to know if you are okay! Please post when you can.

Was getting really worried about Jean Ann and Kenny. I messaged her last night, and she usually replies within 10 minutes or so. This time it was about 18 hours. But anyway, here's her reply. She gave me permission to post it here. "We made it, Gwen! We made it!!! The storm is finally over. The sun is shining this morning, there is a gentle breeze, and all is well with the world. Well, sorta. People are still flooding here due to the release of water on two major reservoirs, and we still have some highways and feeder roads under water. At 2 am this morning a local weatherman said that my

Thanks. Will do!

Just talked with Jean Ann again. She and Kenny are still okay. 34" of rain in their yard so far.

I've been in touch with Jean Ann (Okie at Heart) several times during the weekend, and she and Kenny are safe. They had 24" of rain in 4 hours last night. She said people in her subdivision had to be rescued and many of their friends' homes flooded, but the water only got 2/3 of the way up their driveway. I told her the Lord had a giant hand of protection over them and their house!

Congratulations!

Okay, that makes sense. We carefully drain our water lines and don't feel the need to sanitize them between trips. Just run a lot of water to flush everything out.

We never use our freshwater tank, therefore never sanitize it. We did sanitize it 11 years ago when we first bought it used. Why does it take you 4 hours? Add bleach, fill with water, let it sit a few hours, drain, fill with fresh water again to flush, drain. Maybe 20 minutes of actual work.

Hi. We live in Piedmont NC and are about three hours farther from the Fort than you are. We overnight at the Pilot/Flying J in St. Augustine. Always get a good night's sleep. Then the next morning we have about two hours to the Fort. Depending on what time we wake up, we check into the Fort around 6:30 - 7:30 a.m. Park in the overflow lot and unload our golf cart. We've been on our site as early as 8:30 a.m.

What a wonderful pool! But I can't imagine what their homeowner insurance costs.

This article is skewed toward cheaper units. Do your homework on brands and construction. You won't find these problems in a Prevost, Country Coach, Foretravel, Bluebird, etc. IMHO you'd be better off looking into a used unit from one of these brands than a new Class A. Plus, you will be letting someone else take the hit on the major depreciation. Our Country Coach (diesel pusher) is 15 years old If we were to put it up for sale, someone would get a wonderful unit at a bargain price.

We'll be there until December 5. Hope to see the cubs.
