4.29.11 Adam News & Info

A few survival tips - some of these I've always tried to adhere to:

1. NEVER let your gas tank go below half full. If I hadn't had as much gas in my tank as I did, I'd still be sitting in the dark in Huntsville with the radio batteries probably already dead. See #2.

2. Keep a radio that can run on batteries and make sure you have LOTS of extra batteries.

3. Always have one regular phone with a cord for your land line - the wireless phones don't work when the power is out. Just go to Target and get a $10 little princess phone. My cell didn't work either.

4. Be sure you have a car charger for your cell. I did. A lady in the restroom in a truck stop in Tennessee today was charging her cell in the rest room. Bless her heart. Her husband was standing outside the restroom door and was not a happy camper.

5. Keep bottled water on hand. I didn't have any but really didn't need any for the short time I was there without power (I did have lots of Coke on ice :lol: ). They're telling people in Huntsville to conserve water becasue the water treatment plant can't run without power and will probably be out of clean water before Browns Ferry is fixed.

5. Keep cash on hand at all times. ATM's do not work without power. Luckily, I had an extra $200 in the hidden pocket in my purse.

Thanks Seoulmate and MyS*&@^#r50.

Could be a pissed off Durban fan. Adam so rarely says harsh things about anyone. I'll bet Durban fans are steaming furious.

Curious: Do they ask prior contestants to make statements or did Adam just offer up. Just can't figure out why he would want to dis anyone at this point, even if it is true. Is it necessary? And the thing about Pia. She's gone. Was it necessary to say something about her? I think this is part of the I align-with-the-winners game. It's a little tiger-eating-the-vulnerable for my taste. Does it make Adam look better, stronger, more honest, more kick-ass? I'm asking this honestly. I would like to know the method to the madness. You all know I love Adam. It is just a little cut throat and really has to hurt Pia and James at this point. CAn't Haley be lifted up without the others getting crushed?

My thoughts are with everyone who has suffered in the hands of the storms going through the U.S. We are lucky here in Finland that we don't have earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados or such, even though our winters can be quite rough. They are nothing compared to those things, however!

I had a taste of tornados when I was on vacation in Orlando several years ago. Two or three tornados went through the city during night, one of them less than half a mile from the hotel I was staying in. It was scary! over 40 people were killed in that storm.

So, all you atopers and others there, take care of yourselves!

I hear they are predicting more storms for the weekend. I hope they're wrong!
