Just talked to bamafan The good news - SHE HAS POWER!!!! The bad news: Power is all she has. When the power came on, her heat came on and smelled awful. She said trees fell on both units and all kinds of dirt and mud was blown inside them. They're not gonna try to run them until they have a professional check them out. She said the insurance company might even total them. Speaking of the insurance copany, they haven't really done anything yet at HER house. They came with a 3 page itemized list and a check for what they were offering to pay for her mother's house (it's empty) and she said it was a ridiculously low amount and her DH refused it. One of the items on the list was a satellite and her mother didn't even have one - it had blown in from the neighbor's house. Bama asked them if they were gonna offer to pay her for the trailor that landed on top of her jeep even though it belonged to her neighbor. The insurance company hasn't even looked at her cars but she said she had already ordered a new convertible top for her Mustang. Until it is fixed, she has nothing to drive. Even though she has power, she has no TV or internet. She said the big satellite of their provider was damaged and it could be a while before that is fixed. She also has no windows. She has no idea if the insurance company will want to replace individual panes or the whole windows - some of the frames were damaged or completely blown out and will have to be replaced. NONE of the debris has been removed. HUGE piles still on the street. Bama's screen porch is on the side of the house on the front. Of course, it has no screen. She said she sat on the porch yesterday afternoon and watched LOTS of rubberneckers drive by looking. She said she felt like she was on parade with all the strangers staring at her. She just smiled at them. LOL Our plan is for me to pick Bama up next Saturday mroning and take her down to Birmingham to meet JustWishin. We'll take her to lunch and find internet access somewhere or go to JustWishin's house so she can get online for a while. She's anxous to say hi to everybody! I am so looking forward to this day with/for Bamafan. The day is hers. Lunch, Atop, videos, catch up on Idol. Whatever she wants! I know just touching base with you lovelies will brighten her day.  If any of you still want to send a card, I will be giving them to her next Saturday. |

First: Glad to hear you're getting better, Catzmadam! And then: Zinnia & Tatum, LOL to that HS's article LOL maybe paper recycling bin or something like that in English. No need to go digging, Zinnia, I have the paper copy. ;D The article in the paper is actually better than the cut-out clip in the net, but it really doesn't have much about Adam and Sauli in it. It's actually a 3+ page article about the old (and even older) marriages or relationships between Finns/Swedes and foreign celebrities or otherwise famous people. They list such people as Kofi Annan, Roger Moore, Paul Anka and Tiger Woods, who have or have had a Swedish wife. On the Finnish side, they mention Gregory Peck, Ray Charles, Patrick Swayze, Renny Harlin. And lots of others, for both sides. The story is sort of a historical "study" (that's not probaby the correct term for it as it is a newspaper article and not a scientific study but I can't think of a better one right now) with the idea behind it being the continuous rivalry between Finland and Sweden, which Zinnia mentioned. It starts with a statement that if you do a Google search with "Swedish wife", you get 52200 hits. If you Google "Finnish wife", you get only 29300 hits and half of those are related to the Finnish wife carrying competition. If you change the word "wife" to "girlfriend", the result is 60700 - 16 600 in Sweden's favor. Sauli and Adam are mentioned just as an example of the most current celebrity romances between a Finn and a foreigner. The article ends with names of some couples whose marriage/relationship did not last and ends with a sentence: "And after all this, we Finns can only hope that BB-Sauli's love will last." On that last statement, I think we all concur! And lynneville - so sorry about your pet. :( It's always hard to give up of a dear friend. Hugs to you! Hey, thanks Mia  . I still have faith in HS then, LOL. |
