"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

Love it, Pen!  ;D ;D ;D

No, Laurie, the email system you have set up with each other and me is ready to go. You have to have a way to stay in touch with each other besides occasional chats. I can see that (finally)...and some moderators may want to connect that way via their dedicated email addresses with members. Like, "Jellyfish, please email me at ____@______.com if you feel comfortable doing that and we'll talk about this a little bit." Unwanted emails can be ignored.

I wasn't able to ignore the PMs I got because I was being held responsible for them, as part of my site.

You're in my thoughts, as well.  Hope to hear from you soon...

FAFE, I saw you on...I hope that means everything is okay.

Pooh...waiting for news...

Yes, praying for the safety of all the ladies down south. These storms are horrible. :-(

Pooh

I only have time to write a few lines.  I am safe but our county is horrible.  We had five seperate tornados out of five different storms.  The first two have been classified as EF2, they are still trying to classify the last 3 that hit us all in a span of 3 hours.  They are thinking EF4.  We have right now around 150 totally destroyed homes, 600 halfway destroyed and I don't know how many with minor damage.  They have just now entered the 4th area, so that number is climbing.  We have had 9 fatalities.  The 4th tornado went over our building and we just have minor damage but the roar was horrible and no one stopped answering the 911 phones.  It was amazing.

I worked 18 hrs, 3 hrs sleep then 14 more.  I got 4 hrs sleep last night and back at 7 this morning.  I will have to work thru the weekend so I will not be on. 

I have never seen anything like it in my life, and I just want to cry.  It is horrible.  We are in Cleveland, TN, Bradley County as there are many news reporters here if you want to track us.  Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.  I have never been so proud in my life of all the emergency response people and a community.

Thanks guys and sorry that I can't get on right now but I will catch up next week!

Oh, Pooh, how terrible. You are making such a huge contribution. Please remember your health concerns and don't burn the candle at both ends down to where it whacks your already distressed immune system. Sending tons of love, caring and appreciation for you and what you are.

Pooh, I am glad you're safe and sound. I'm also glad you're there to help those that need it so badly right now.  I haven't heard much about your area, I've only really heard about Alabama so far. I hope you're taking care of yourself as best you can. I will be thinking of you. Rest when you can!

thinking of you Pooh Bear ....stay safe my friend ...the weather has gone mad in the world lately ...thoughts are with all those families ...take care ...x

Pooh - We just got a report in form Kennedy: "Tornadoes, Tornadoes, Tornadoes" and I copied and pasted your post over on that thread, as well. Hard to imagine! We are all with you!
