MDJunction to me

aTinaL"To me, Mdjunction comes down to motivation. The support and information I have found here motivated me to take a very proactive stance regarding my illness. This led me to find medication and doctors that are giving me my life back.
More important than even the motivation, though, is the friendship I have found at MDJ. I have made some of the best friends of my entire life right here in this group. Even though most of us have never met, it feels as if we have known each other for years.
If Angels walk among us, and I believe that they do, most of them are here at MDJ.

I have never in my entire life seen a storm like this and seen this much damage. I live in an area with a LOT of trees and now half of them have fallen. Many cars are totaled. Luckily none of ours. Homes have been hit. Sheds are crushed. Trees in the street.

We are lucky that we got power back today. My sister's pumps depend on power so it was a nightmare and I will not go into details. I am not sure how long I will have internet.

BIGGEST CONCERN...

There is a 40 + foot tree at a 45 to 60 degree angle over our shed. It is split right down the center and just sitting there. Please say prayers or send thoughts that this will not come down and crush our shed, our pool, or our home. I am very afraid and shaking a lot. They started it today but they need a "climber". It is just too high and their trucks cannot reach. God Bless the guy that will do this. Our backyard went from a lot of shade to a lot of light very quickly. The pool is warm. I went in to grab all of the stuff out. We have been cutting and moving and cleaning as much as we possibly can. We are suppose to have a party on July 4th, my birthday. I don't know if it will happen. Maybe I should skip it.

I really wish I had a friend right now.

Yikes, that sounds scary. Try not to cancel your party, I bet people are will like a little break from storm clean up.

Hey! Where did you get a silly idea that you don't have friends right now???

Don't cancel your party. Like Redhairali said; they will like a break from the cleanup.

Just don't over do it and get yourself stressed out. You said your pool is warm. Good for you. Take advantage of it. Sad

IDKN......Wow...quite a storm...glad to hear that everyone is okay. I truly think you should still have this party, all of you will need this break from all the clean-up. Celebrate your birthday....you all need this.
