| Come Laugh With Me!!! MY TRUE EXPERIENCES # 2 |
|
| |
Well, more stuff can happen while you sittin' home, mindin' yore own business! Sure nuff! After my earthquake experience settled down a bit, wouldn't ya know something else was gonna happen, right on it's heels! I waz sittin' here, right here at this here puter, AGAIN, mindin' my own business. I think I waz working on comments to MyChurch. All of a sudden, without any hint of trouble on the way, the puter, the puter screen, and the printer all just stopped! We wadn't having no storms or nuthin' that would even make me think what coulda happened. The lights overhead waz still on and that puzzled me even more. WHY would tha outlets go out and not tha lights???? So, the electricity waz still on. Well, I quickly unplugged the surge thang and the whole mess a thangs plugged into the suge protecting thang and unplugged it from the outlet in the wall. Just couldn't imagine what in tha world could be going on! I went into another room, sho nuff, everthing in them wall sockets waz not working, but the lights overhead waz. I looked up the 'lectrician's number, to ask him what waz likely the problem. I'd checked tha breaker box and nuttin was "thrown". I can tell you, I waz flat scurrying around, checking thangs. Seeing how many outlets, etc and other stuff waz affected.
When I picked up the telerphone to call that 'lectrician--wouldn't ya know tha phone waz out, too! Now, that really did concern me. I started gathering up tha vehicle keys, 'lectrician's number, purse, and all that stuff to go to a neighbor's house to call him. I waz thinkn', "I sure nuf am gonna git one a those phones that don't plug in". 'Bout that time, low and behold, ALL tha lights overhead and everthang in the house went off. Well, I'd never seen thangs go off in steps like that. First the outlets and then everthang, after a while. I waz right in the middle of gittin' that stuff together so I didn't have my flashlight handy. I knew where it waz, but couldn't seem to find tha thang when I needed it. I waz praying for HELP and asking my Father to PLEASE not let something awful be going on, you know dangerous or expensive! I felt my way around til I got into another room and got a flashlight there. Got my stuff and away I went, outside to git in the vehicle. Well, don't ya know, those highway men and machines were ever where! Tha 'lectric trucks waz, too! One of tha highway men saw me out in tha yard lookin' to see what on earth waz going on! He came over and told me that one of them biggg old machines that waz diggin' dirt had touched the power line. They had called the 'lectric company. I told him how the puter just stopped and the overhead lights stayed on fer a while. I also told him my phone waz out, too. When that machine first hit it, that musta been just nuff damage that it was when the outlets went out, but not affect tha overhead lights! The 'lectric company musta cut off the power to work on it. The whole transformer waz out! So, that waz when the overhead lights and ever thang else went out. Well, when they got the power back on, tha highway man said to check and see that the puter came back on. I did check it and Praise Yah, it waz not damaged! But, tha phone waz STILL out. I went to neighbor's and called tha phone company to report it. I also used neighbor's puter to write Grandmama's Love an email and asked her to please report it to tha phone company. I thank her for calling them, too. Tha highway man also reported it to tha phone company. Tha phone company told me on that thar recording (I hate that ya can't find a live person!) that it would be fixed in 2-3 days! That meant no phone or puter! The next day, I waz putting out birdseed to feed the birds. Tha highway man came up and told me they waz tryin' to git my phone worked on. He waz on his cell phone talking to them right that minute. I thanked him for calling them, agin! Wadn't too long til the telephone company truck came and they started workin' on that and fixed it. PRAISE Yah! Well, this waz another chapter in the ongoin' saga of my life and the happenings related to my experiences with construction of a highway! It's funny now, but, agin---like the earthquake thang--it shore wadn't funny then! I HOPE you enjoy and get a laugh with me! Laughter is good medicine!
All mistakes in grammer and spelling WAS INTENDED! Thanks for laughing with me! |

Pandabear, I'm GLAD you are enjoying the continuing progress of the highway construction. Yes, Joey's photos are a good way to express my feelings, exactly! LOL! I wanted all of us to have something on the lighter side since so much of life is so serious. Thanks for the star and great comment! I appreciate you, as always! I am including a photo that I took this morning of the CLOUD of DRY concrete and the water trucks, wetting it down. I'm not too sure I captured it during the largest cloud! LOL! But, you can see, it's rather thick, even at that.  |

MaKelly, As always, it's GREAT to hear from you. Thanks for reading this blog, the star, and the comment. I think HE has a sense of humor, also. It was so odd losing just part of the electricity first--only plug ins and then a good bit later the entire thing, including overhead lights. You would think it would all go out at once! No, it was not funny at the time. I was concerned it was an electrical problem caused from something here. The road construction project never entered my mind as a cause of it, even after the earthquake blog I wrote about. Much to my surprise the answer awaited me, the moment I walked outside! Praise Yah it was easily repaired (though inconvenient) even though the phone remained out for a couple of days. Praise Yah, it all turned out well in the end. I cling to the fact that yes, HE IS IN CHARGE and HE knew exactly what caused it and that all was well! Thanks! I am glad you and others enjoyed a change of pace--something funny--during all these uncertain, negative things we go through sometimes. |

Joyful Servant, I think I missed leaving you a thank you! Everything is so hectic for me and for so long that I'm not surprised that I "thought" I left a thanks before now! You KNOW I do appreciate you!
Ima Grandma, Same thing, I am so sorry I apparently "thought" I'd left you a thank you, too! You KNOW that I appreciate you, too! I do appreciate the comments and stars. I found a little humor in a very difficult situation (it STILL IS a difficult situation) and thought we'd all get a little laugh--as we did. I HAVE to have a little laughter now and then! Things are hectic and rather mixed up and have been for some time now. I'll try to catch up on my sincere "thank you" to the rest of you a bit later. |

Joey, You are welcome to read this as many times as you please. As bad as this whole mess has been--it's kinda nice there were at least "some" parts of it to have fun and that I've been able to laugh a little (as well as helping others laugh, too! |
