Social Chatting April-June 2019

We're a quarter of the way through 2019!!!!!!!!!

Yes! Can't wait till summer!

I can't wait till winter. xD

We'll still be getting snow here in Colorado through the beginning of May so I mean… xD Doesn't really feel like winter's over. Things are starting to warm up a bit though. But then it goes from 60's one day to blizzarding in the teens and 20's the next.

Alabama never stays cold for longer than a couple days. I could probably hold all of the snow Alabama has gotten for the past couple years in one hand.

That sounds fun.

I'm with you, @"Joy R"!!!

Well, I don't exactly have favorite season.

Same, they all have great parts about them. Summer is nice for just relaxing and going to camp. Winter has Christmas and Spring has Easter and end of school. Fall is a good time to have orchestra and some sports (although I don't do any sports on a team).

Yeah. I do. We found a home school group and our first volleyball game is going too be on Monday.

Nice.

Yeah.

Black clouds bury the blue skies of Bama overhead
as monstrous winds wipe out towns of southern plain.
From historic antebellum it left a path of dead
in the midst of hail and drenching down-pouring rain.

Ten hours of terror that held the sweet south in its grip
not yielding to warnings since wind motion was quick.
Leveled houses and buildings with just one long dip
leaving nothing to relish of mementos or red brick.

Toys and papers scattered with the dying whirl twist
sending debris to nearby states in massive claws.
Disaster covers barren- lifeless- ground in hail and mist
while residents view destruction that harshly gnaws.

Blind darkness filled the night after the storms once seized
bleak clouds clung, still forbidding stars or moon to shine.
Lives spared but tattered beings were left quite uneased
and not rightly sure where tired bodies could now resign.

Despair fills many counties hit by a ravenous wind
that changed a million lives in a fleeted moment.
Winds of majesty can transform, bringing life to an end
along with frazzled minds and souls in much discontent.

Although lives have been altered and turned inside out
friendship and well wishes are given in great abundance.
It will take patience to rebuild quaint rural towns, no doubt
with God’s and friends help, we still have a fighting chance.

8 years later… You can still see the destruction. People still remember that day. A huge thank you to James Spann, the weather man, who saved many lives in Alabama that day.

OK. I am just really glad that we don't get hit by those kind of stuff.

:)

Autumn is my favorite season….and also I second the bit about being relieved I don't get a lot of widespread-catastrophic flooding here (or anywhere I've lived, for that matter).

No kidding!

I miss having a lot of weather since I live in the city now, but the one weather thing I don't miss is tornadoes…we used to get them at least twice a year, and our basement was always flooded so it was miserable to be down there during the tornadoes.

:)
We just went up to Colarado Springs, and it snowed 8" there.

Dang, that's kinda' awesome…

Yep, it sure was. :)

;D

Oh, by the way, my brother and I won our volleyball tournament against three other teams. We did not lose a single game the whole season.

Ooh, wow! :-D

Yep, it actually wasn't that hard. The hardest competition was probably against teal.

Okay, so this thread has been up for almost three months and we only have 25 posts. That's just crazy, people… not that I've been doing anything about it either… but still. That's like an average of 2 posts a week! XPP Poor Memverse…x(

I know, right?? This is so sad….we need to come up with a topic of conversation interesting enough that people stick around….because a conversation requires more than one person on at a time, or at least having them come back at least once a day to comment. X-P

Absolutely… any ideas? XP

Is there any topic that says something like, "Imagining an Awesome Finals"?

Finals for what?

At BBN.

Bible Bee?

Yes

Ooh, yeah, I think most people here can relate to that.

Oh yeah.
