Construction workers just hit the gas line next door. Two of my bosses have offices on that side of the building and the police have advised them to leave their offices. As luck would have it, I'm on the other end of the building so my bosses told me to stay and work. Ain't life grand?:rolleyes:
Gas company arrived and has everything shut down. The excitement is over for the day. :)Quote:

Which little city is this.
Good no one was hurt.
Um, I would have left anyway. Gases from an explosion can expand several thousands of times. That means walls moving and ceilings collapsing. Your bosses are not very smart. If you had been hurt or died, they would have been in some serious legal hurt.Quote:

And yes, I realize how stupid a decision it was to require that we stay in the building that would have blown to smithereens if there had been a spark. That's what happens when your bosses are W O M E N!
It's raining here so there will be no excitement in Fayette as the workers aren't here. :)
Fayette aint no city.Quote:

Good fun Mrs. Novice hope you and the grandchildren had a good Christmas, did you make it to Marshall for the lights at the school? if so, you like my little lake?
A Mack pulling a pup trailer, Quinn. Geez, shouldn't it be obvious that I've been bad? Look where I hang out (MO Off Topic Board)! :D
I didn't get the girls over there d/t them flying to DisneyWorld the next day. Poor little things! The lake is "cute". Not sure it is technically a lake; seems more like a pond. :p
Yea but it is a pretty large "pond" but I love it :)
If you love it and it's close to home, that's all that counts. :)
You two are so cute when you are not picking on each other (gag me):eek:
doesn't it just give you that warm fuzzy feeling all over, Jack? Besides, I think he's my closest neighbor on the board. Probably 'bout 20 miles as the crow flies, I'd guess.
Answer #1 NO! Answer #2 I would never admit to that. As the crow flies??
Yes, Jack "as the crow flies" seems to be some sort of hillbilly terminology meaning the shortest distance in a straight line between two points. In this case, Glasgow and Marshall. I know you must be quite surprised that I have heard of this. :D Go ahead. Make my day. :)Quote:

Besides, I've been trying to be nicer to him since I found out he has a disability (that Northern/Norwegian accent disability). :pQuote:

Vell Dats How ve talk up nort!
and I love listening to all the various "accents". Truly I do. Granted some are more fascinating than others. My mom came to the US in 1960 from Germany so she has a very thick German accent and she still throws a few German words in a sentence here and there. She's very hard for folks to understand.
I've spent some time in the Dakotas, MN and Canada so I've heard lots of that NORTH "stuff". :)
