Hurricane Sandy

I know I am thinking about everyone on the east coast. I have been in touch with some friends in the Outer Banks in North Carolina and they say Sandy is pretty miserable. For all of you in the path of this storm, I hope that you all keep your power and that you are hunkered down with everything you need and that everything blows right by with no damage and that the rest of us are thinking about all of you.

Hello!! First time poster, but I'm from the Outer Banks!!

Wanted to update you all on what I've been seeing here...as it will update you all up North. This is a typical storm -- lots of wind, rain, coastal flooding, and some damage...but it's by no means the worst storm I've seen (and I've lived here my whole life). That being said, BE SMART! If you are told to evacuate, do so. At the very least make sure you have extra food, water, batteries, prescription drugs, and necessities. You might lose power, but it will likely be restored in a a few days. If you must evacuate, please bring your pets!! They need safe housing too!!!

but, if all else fails -- make my favorite hurricane cocktail...get nice and toasty...and wait out the storm. here's the recipe:

2 oz light rum
2 oz dark rum
2 oz passion fruit juice
1 oz orange juice
Juice of a half a lime
1 Tbsp simple syrup
1 Tbsp grenadine
Orange slice and cherry for garnish


Enjoy!

@silver - what lawsuit? I'm just curious because I was close to commenting on a blind recently. I wanted to make the point that the person in the blind also had had problems with organised crime figures in the past. Blogger ate my comment and I was glad. I don't want to mess with these people. But the lawsuit thing makes me curious.

Ari said...

hunkered NYC, so far just lots of rain, random wind gusts and greyness, but I am praying to GOD that the power stays on!

cactusflower said...

I only occasionally post, but I wanted to send out good vibes to everyone affected by "sally". stay safe!

mynerva said...

@silver - what lawsuit? I'm curious because I wrote a comment on a recent blind about how the popular guess had some trouble with organised crime figures in the past. Blogger ate the comment and I'm kind of glad to be honest. I don't want to bring these people on me. But can a comment on this site lead to a subpoena?

mynerva said...

sorry for the double post - stupid iPhone . Have now switched to my lovely new macbook. Any excuse ; )

old ;ady said...

Zince I am in Mi and all we will get is wind and rain. I want all CDaners to know if and when another Hurricane shows up you are welcome to come here. I have Dogs that are very well socialized so bring your Dogs and Cats. I have a generator (we have tornado's). Plenty to entertain people. Home cooking.

But, for now everyone stay save. You all make my day with the comments.

SusanB said...

@mynerva - was it the lawsuit where whocaresnow12 was badmouthing some people and a woman at the next table recorded her conversation? I don't remember a lot of the details but I remember discussing whether the woman would get in trouble since she didn't inform our subject she was tape recording her. I believe our subject was badmuthing her husband's ex wife. I'm just too damn lazy to look for the post.

Onyx Loathes Hydrangeas said...

Her lawsuit against the school teacher for bullying. I thought it was random this was one of the sites named and she called it a "hate site". Makes it less random to me now.

Amber said...

@Silver - I totally forgot CDaN was named!! Wow. Click, click, click.

surfer said...

That's the one SusanB and SilverOnyx.

One of my friends in NJ just posted a pic of trees down in her front yard - fell on and ripped up the cobblestone walkway.

msgirl said...

What? WHAT???? My mind is blowing in so many different directions it's like Sandy just swept thru my brain! We've got a blind who turns out to be the name that shall not be said, a lawsuit - this itself is a blind to me because I only have suspicions of y'all are talking about!!! WOW Cdaners clearly I need to check back in the later afternoons!

glass slippers thanks so much!

Welcome penelope!

I hope everyone in the path has a dramatic and awesome hurricane, AND A SAFE ONE! May we only hear fun stories tomorrow knock on wood!

discoflux said...

Stay safe, Robin! We need your brownies!

AHA I WAS RIGHT, googled my suspicion. Wow.

This is the best thread ever - an outpouring of love and good vibes + a good reveal within a post. Losing my commenting virginity also after 6 years of reading this site daily. You guys have kept me mightily entertained over the years so I just wanted to send some good vibes to everyone on the East Coast. Lived in NYC for 7 years and my last weekend there was when Irene came through town...throwing a hurricane and evacuation from Flood Zone A on top of apartment packing for a cross country move was a helluva time. But in the end all was well! Here's wishing you the same outcome for Sandy. Be strong and be safe and much love!

Lioness70 said...

I'm in NJ, close to Six Flags Great Adventure.

The wind has been worse than the rain. Sandy's center is due to hit Cape May. The Shore is wrecked.

I've been hunkered down. I'm waiting for it to be all over. Craziness.

mynerva said...

@susan & @silver - thanks for clarifying that it was HER lawsuit. I thought it was a suit involving CDAN and was freaking out.

Lioness70 said...

Stay safe, East Coast CDANers!

Off to make some hot spiced Scrapple & peruse this reveal. Thanks, Skyy!

Melpomene25 said...

Sending prayers to everyone out East! Thanks Skyy! You rock!! It is so sad that people think because of their social standing, better yet, their perceived social standing that they can treat those they deem a "lesser" person like shit. She will get her comeuppance and when she does, I hope she is able to reassess herself and the type of person she has apparently become and become a better person...Not sure if you already answered this Skyy, but how were you able to figure out said persons handle that posts on here?

dia papaya said...

I go to work and I miss all the drama! Damn!!!

So what hotel did we think it was since Big Skyy eliminated one?

Eeekalicious said...

@Big Skyy Are you being followed on the internet and / or in real life? If that's too private please don't feel you need to answer...

KPeony said...

That was wild! just got the eye about an hour ago. Still have power. Islands are pretty screwed, but they have the money to rebuild. My hometown is underwater, but we'll be fine.

katsm0711 said...

What post????

SANDY UPDATE: FAIRFIELD CT EDITION

A TREE fell on a house a block from me 2 hours ago. This is the third time the power went off on the hour. The last 2 times it was back on in under 20 minutes. I'm hoping it goes back on. It's to rerout lines but it's totally messing with my head! I'm googling how to hold a seance bc I'm trying to get my money's worth out of all these candles. And I'm doing my extra special hurricane family contribution by eating the ice cream before it melts. It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it. I wouldn't call myself a hero, I'm just doing what any god fearing American would do in time of crisis. It's chocolate. Start hammering out my gold medal. It's Katherine with a "K". Peace out.

surfer said...

Interesting thought, Sunny (I see you deleted your post - that's okay). ClearlyDisturbed, clearly was (hahaha). I think they were both too invested in the conversation. Maybe it was one person who created another account, to have a buddy, so to speak, back them up.

Shocky said...

Take care, East Coasters!

Roman Holiday said...

Sunny you are some kind of slueth - I don't know how you put that together??

Anonymous said...

Just got power back. Yay! Hope it stays on. Now catching up on all this drama while my muppets and I watch Rango before bedtime.

Show Don"t Tell said...

Sunny, I agree with you on the lack of clarity for the poster. The poster I instantly thought of when told this person was posting on this blog, was a completely different commenter. In all honesty, I also don't read CDAN comments section every single day, either.

The poster I instantly thought for this person was due to a comment left a bit ago and I cannot remember the specifics. The BI was abut a musician who was awarded some type of industry award and the musician (I believe in the BI it was mentioned to be a female artist). The BI went like this: A fan made the drive from LA to San Diego or something, wanted a picture or autograph to be signed by the honored artist. The artist refused and Enty made a mention of the fan driving all that distance and being snubbed.

I remember someone's post (the post read to me like a real insider) the poster explained the artist didn't stick around after the award show due to the artist having to use the bathroom??? Then and now this comment has to be the oddest remark ever made on this blog. However, my initial response when this person told me she posts to this blog, was to go to that obscure post. Initially, I questioned the poster's name given to me, but the poster was intoxicated and how could she come up with another posters name so quickly? I certainly hope someone else remembers the weirdest post ever in the comments section for a BI. I cannot remember when Enty posted the BI, maybe in the late spring sometime.

Anyway, too much fun in one day and the real world keeps going. Good Luck to everyone affected by the horrendous storm and be safe.

Also Sunny, I am with you. I am also a chicken and this person is scary. Away with my previous posts. Goodnight to all.

May Flower said...

I'm really worried about this storm. I'm 2,000 miles away, but everyone dear to me (except my husband) is right in the damn thick of Sandy. My brother will be working all night--outside--trying keep roads clear and safe where he lives and scouting for downed power lines. Yikes. I'm pretty sure our little, shared family home at the Jersey shore (my uncle bought it in 1965) is currently under water. Nobody is there, thank goodness, as my aunt and uncle evacuated yesterday.

This is really scary. I have friends and family from Connecticut to DC, but my immediate family is right in the path of this thing, not far inland from the coast.

Worried. Very worried.

Amber said...

Dia - mammoth

wenx said...

So far so good...still, very glad I don't have to go to work tomorrow!

As for the rest: man, ya'll are a trip ;)

Amber said...

Crap NOW I'm lost. Missed Sunny's post. :/

Jennmcn said...

I hope everyone is safe and sound! Take all the precautions you can and if you are told to evacuate, please go.

I'm sitting in the middle of the Arizona Desert but I have family in Boston and I'm from Mass. My aunt in Kennebunkport was supposed to fly out for a visit today.

I'm saying a prayer for all of you to stay safe. Sending good vibes for the atheists out there.

KellyLynn said...

Concord, NH, where my husband's family lives, is without power right now, and it's windy and rainy. My mother-in-law said her boss wouldn't close up early. He made them stay until the regular closing time at 5 p.m. I can only assume everyone still made it home okay.

TalksTooMuch said...

No way guys!!! You can't post a follow up to that post to whocaresnow and then delete it and then everyone talks about their minds being blown!!! As soon as I saw the Big Sky, I thought the same things, smash! Wha happened??

I'm a Canadian, too, Tuxedo Cat, and all this talking abooot the storm made me realise that my sister in Toronto might be at risk. Think I might check...

Robin the Mad Photographer said...

beguessin: If those are the 2 options, sign me up for RDJ any day! At least we know he's a kind person with a good sense of humor who doesn't take himself too seriously, as opposed to those who behave badly and have no sense of humor or perspective when called on it.

I'm not a lawyer, but I do work for several, and I don't believe you can sue someone just because they hurt your feelings. Yes, it sucks when people talk trash about you (whether or not you actually did that of which you're accused, but AFAIK butthurt does not constitute just cause for legal action, particularly if one is a public figure.

(Screw the whole "The Person Who Must Not Be Named" business--let's just cut to the chase and call her Voldemort from now on, OK?)

As for Sandy, we're still here and still have power *knock knock knock*; hopefully the rain won't be too horrible overnight, and I'll actually be able to sleep & not worry too much about water creeping in. I suspect I'll have to go to work in the morning, but we'll see. Good luck to everyone else out there, and stay safe, OK?

Wow, thanks for the link on the lawsuit. I just want it noted for all to see that I am *not* the JJ posting comments on that article.

thanks for that Sunny

surfer said...

I don't think you have anything to worry about Sunny - one anon poster (I prefer to refer to her as clearly demented, lol) going after another anon poster. I don't think so.

smash said...

Talkstomuch- read the comments from the oct 18th 1st blind of the day. :)

beguessin said...

Ummmmm..... I was under the impression that "onamobile" was trolling the original commenter. It had started shortly before the linked blind post. That is why the comments were purposely super weird about the " insider knowledge.". I may be wrong tho

TalksTooMuch said...

No, I did! I remembered it right away when I say Big Sky's name because it seemed so RANDOM. I just missed posting in time to get the reveal he/she/they did and then it got deleted. Toooo slow. I think I have it now, though!

lucretius said...

Thank you Enty for the sweet thoughts for all us East Coasters. Am hunkered down in Hampton, Va with cat. Bought water and cat food. I hope all is well with everyone else!

Sunny said...

You're correct, be guessin

Hope you all stay safe. Sending prayers and good thoughts to all of you in harm's way.

Thanks guys! And you're right. It was a parody acct and I got in troubs for thinking it was funny :P

@skyy - seriously, I read this thing religiously and I don't get what's going on. What did I miss?! Someone is suing someone for their comments here? AARrgghhhh!! I hate when I miss stuff!

feraltart said...

I finally got what everyone was posting about re: blinds etc.
Thoughts are with everyone in the path of the storm. Stay safe, Australia is really thinking of you.

Sugar said...

Holy shit you guys! I actually work one day and miss all the insider gissip! And y'all talk in riddles wrapped in mysteries! Which is LeAnn? Whocares or clearlydisturbed???? And why does everyone delete their comments? Makes my curiosity meter go off the hinges!

Hope the CDaNers in Sandy's path are staying safe.

UPL said...

I'm confused now. Is it wcn12 or onamobile or cd? Is Onamobile related at all or is that just a spoof? Onamobile is the one who posted the really weird comment skyy mentioned

redronnie said...

Glued to CNN, Please stay safe

OneGirlRevolution said...

I hope all my cdan brethren are safe and sound! I'm keeping you all in my thoughts!

beguessin said...

I think the lodge in question was actually the CIRQUE lodge, in which case everyone take their meds tonite (but only the prescribed ones!) and that goes for you too LiLo. ;)

OneGirlRevolution said...

And I missed everything.

I gather someone thinks whocaresnow12 is LeAnne Rimes? But the mobile one was clearly trolling the other so I don't get how that comment fits. Honestly, I'm lost. Why would LR commenting on here be horrifying (interesting, yes...although I think we would be surprised...or not...to find that more than a couple celebrities occasionally comment here) I don't remember her saying anything mind blowing.

Gah...I hate when I don't read until late.

Cassiopeia said...

Um, can anyone tell me whats going on here?!?

Lol

Whocaresnow has always said that he/she works in the biz and knows "ppl"... fwiw

seaward said...

Ugh, whocaresnow12 is one of the commenters who annoys me the most, now this all makes perfect sense.

But you guys, how has no one said anything about Himmmm yet?? Enty mentions friends in the Outer Banks, clearly that is one of the Himmmm's family, AND that particular Himmmm shows up (& I know this based on the use of "u") AND NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING???
The times, they are a-changin'.

But with that all out of the way, stay safe everyone. <3

KPeony said...

Back end of the eye now. Workplace flooded, so at least there's a silver lining???

Onyx Loathes Hydrangeas said...

Honestly tho out of all the celebs out there I can't think of any of them I could see commenting on a gossip site more than her other than maybe a real housewife or something. Lol!

dia papaya said...

Thanks Amber! I hate when I miss the party. I like to be all up in it!

Well everyone... The night is still early. Maybe my BFF the himmmm-ster will show up. I miss that cat. @himmmm where are you to shed some light on this LR situation!

And I missed the whole Jax / Himmmm fight the other day too. Why do I have to work???? Totally interfering on my CDaN time.

OneGirlRevolution said...

Wait...when did himmmm show up? (Stay safe!)

Also, in rereading the lawsuit thread, if I'm going to peg a poster as LeAnne, it sounds more like clearly disturbed. As @circles said,, whocaresnow has been around for most of the year. She got into it with B Profane early in the summer because he accused her of lying about having any idea about insider showbizness info.

Amber said...

Miss dia, he showed up earlier and posted a brief well wishing. And seaward is irked ppl didn't jump on it ;) hehe.

I'd like to completely fill you guys in, but now w/all the deletes IDK what I should say. I can "vaguebook" it...

EGB said...

Sunny! You are my go to girl because I stay being late to the party, hate that I missed your posts! To the rest, thank you so much for enough clues that I do know what's up! To the newbies tonight, welcome! I posted years ago, forgot my name , then came back since the himmmm era and have not looked back. I routinely feel privileged to be a part of such a dynamic group. As far as what really matters, a ton of my fam is back east and I wish for them what I wish for all of you- to ride out this storm with as little damage as possible. Take care my CDAN friends.

Just saw some of the pictures of NYC, Jersey, and the banks. My heart is breaking for all you. Please be safe, hold your loved ones tight. You are in our thoughts.

Dude, what the shit did I miss? Why is someone getting outted as a drunk hillbilly? Kumquat says wtf?

beguessin said...

@ Lola, if you were asking how long himmmm has been on cdan, well at least as long as his blogger profile says. But probably earlier

Sunny said...

The short story AS I UNDERSTAND IT :)

One of our readers was at a resort where she ran into LR. LR treated the whole staff and her husband like complete and total crap. LR got tipsy at the bar and told our reader that she comments on CDaN. I THINK our reader was convinced that LR posted under WCN12 because of a misunderstanding on our reader's part. I and a few other people thought that LR was perhaps a reader named Clearly Disturbed who gets WAAAAY to defensive and aggressive in LR and BG posts

I apologize if I got any of the facts wrong, but didn't want to leave you guys hanging

Cassiopeia said...

@Amber
I read the thread from oct. 18 (whoa! Lol)
But Skyy's comment is deleted. That is the missing piece of my puzzle. That comment which obvi refers to a hotel?

Eeekalicious said...

@Talkstoomuch Hi there! I'm quite a bit north of Toronto, and just getting light wind and rain at the moment. It's gone below zero though. Toronto is getting it a bit worse apparently...It's pretty windy, I guess...

Cassiopeia said...

Sunny....Ahhhh!
Love you, thanks!

Amber said...

Sunny - great summary!

Goes - see above. I can look up the hotel name when I get into the office tmrw. For some reason I screen capped it. Prob so I could look it up later (I don't subscribe to get email updates bc my phone would implode).

Didn't you say something about Mammoth,Amber?

OneGirlRevolution said...

@beguessin...thanks. I was really just asking where he showed up in this thread (I probs skipped right over it). If I remember, himmmm first appeared on cdan in 2009...maybe 2008 (don't know what the blogger profile says though)?

Sunny, thanks. Yes, I think clearly disturbed sounds more like LeeAnne than whocaresnow12. And really, if you think about it, the name "clearly disturbed" seems kind of an in your face FU to the people who keep saying she's disturbed.

When you reread the lawsuit thread, it also sounds like the other lady in the lawsuit (the teacher) was posting under a pseudonym.

Amber said...

Canadians be careful - first confirmed death in Toronto. Person killed by flying sign :(

surfer said...

That's right Amber - I was just going to mention that to Tuxedo Cat. It happened about 10 minutes away from my place. A woman was in the parking lot of a Staples, when the (Staples) sign came loose and conked her on the head. Paramedics tried to resucitate her, but she died. Just awful.

Eeekalicious said...

@Amber and surfer Thanks for the updates! I had not heard about the death in Toronto - how awful! What a terrible freak accident. Her poor family....

OneGirlRevolution said...

Someone died in either NY or NJ too...a tree fell on his house.

Hoping all of you storm troopers are staying safe!

Amber said...

I'm going to sleep now, so I'm hoping to wake up to comments from the East Coasters. Take care & stay brave. Xo

EGB said...

Aw, thanks Sunny! Andthanks again to everyone that helps fill in the blanks. Like a bunch of you, stupid work s really getting in the way of my gossip, I totes appreciate anyone who is willing to fill me in!



katsm0711 said...

I'm beyond confused. My power just came back on for the third time. I jumped out of bed to enjoy all my electronic things until I pass out or it goes dark again. The winds seem to be dying down, I guess the worst is gone but the tide just hit high at midnight and my town is already flooded very far in.

The saddest thing I've heard other than 3 people dying here, is there was an orange cloud in Greenwich CT which turned out to be 4 homes on fire. Firemen had to turn away because of impassible flooding and power lines down, leaving the homes to just burn. I don't know about the people inside. Now I'm worried about a NJ nuclear power plant whose water level is 1 foot from the level that I guess messes with the cooling?

surfer said...

Kats, I think you need a sleeping pill, lol. Don't get worked up about things you can't control - it'll make you crazy. Enjoy the light and your computer or TV.

Try not to get too stressed out. They said the winds here are going to be really bad between 1 am and 4 am. Power is out in certain parts of the city, but not here. I filled my tub and will prepare my coffee maker for the morning (I'm hopeful the power will be on).

OneGirlRevolution said...

@kats...they shut down most of the Salem and Hope Creek reactors before the storm and anticipated shutting them completely down if/when winds reached a certain speed and/or if floodwaters got too high.

Hope that makes you feel better. :)

smash said...

Be safe katsm!

Cassiopeia said...

I just reread the thread...so skyy is being followed?!?! Whaaa?!

Where do you live @surfer? Thanks @lola I don't even know the details or real risk of disaster, I guess I am just tired! I'm actually excited to go outside tomorrow and clean up the fallen branches and find out what hit the house lol.

I'm singing these lyrics I made up to get myself to sleep..

"How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you (electricity)?

Thanks to all the East Coast peeps for keeping us updated. I've been looking at scary photos on DM and I'm freaked out for all of you.

Stay strong! We are praying for all of you! I want the whole country to unite behind you and release we are ONE country. We are all Americans. Tragedy affects us all and we need to band together as a nation to support our fellow man.

Love to you! I'm sorry this is happening again so soon. Especially to my beloved NYC which seems to bear the brunt of it all again and again. Sending you all Mega Qi and Light from above! We will get through this and be stronger for it.

Astoria, Queens checking in. All is well here, just had some scary bad wind rattling the windows and doors for hours. Cats are less freaked out than we are. Luckily no power outage in our area.

Sending my thoughts to those affected by this storm much worse than my better half and I were.

Also looks like while we were dealing with a doozy of a storm, I missed a doozy of a thread today. What the heck happened?

Well that was a good read....

Okay, back to our regularly scheduled storm....
Welcome Penelope. What a beautiful name. Do you go to the Oral Roberts?
Wind picking up here in Toronto. Best er, explanation of the night thus far;
But Sir, why were you on a ladder trying to climb over your garage?
Because it was windy! What if I slipped trying to climb out the window onto the garage?
Eh.... Okay, but the wind blew the ladder over... Why wrre you trying to climb on the garage no matter how you got there? In the dark! In a storm!
Because I had to move the plastic flamingo, obviously!!

Oh, well then.

I think all Himmmm said yesterday was something like, 'be safe if you're in the storm'....nothing huge, unless you consider himmmm posting huge. :) I missed the big hoopla, however, and I don't know what's going on. Other than I think Lee Ann Rimes is posting here as someone else defending herself. Can I get sued for saying that?!

From me, hope you are all doing Ok today, let us know.
Skyy, thanks , best reveal this year ! Although it is.. clearly disturbing ....Sunny I want to hire you:)

surfer said...

All is good here - there were scattered power outages around the city, but I wasn't affected. Trees & wires down in some places, transit affected and re-routed because of that, but for the most part, everything is fine here, and the worst seems to be over.

dia papaya said...

Glad everyone made it! Please keep checking in so we know you're ok!

Times like these make you realize what is the most important. It's not the material stuff (which all got washed away). It's the love you have for your family and friends (and CDaN friends!) Its the people in your life. Grateful so many people were prepared. Grateful we have this place to share our stories! Love to you!!!

dia papaya said...

And a special shout out to you Ms Agent! You never cease to amaze me with your magic super computer finding machine! Are you The Machine from Person of Interest???? Are you really a robot? ;)

Love you babe!!!

Jessica said...

So LR is supposedly commenting here? That's what all the hoopla is about? Really?

Agent**It said...

Dia, I am laughing !! Sometimes I feel that I am one of the few that actually tries to take the time to read everybody's comments before I say anything . Old school . .. or, just 'old" :) I am going to try and use "clearly disturbed " all day long. I laughed so hard reading it all.

********************************************
Can anybody from the Jersey Shore check in ?

discoflux said...

@dia That is exactly the place we guessed.

Eeekalicious said...

Everything's back to normal up in Muskoka (central Ontario). Just drizzly rainy crap now....

dia papaya said...

Thanks disco! A blind within a blind - revealed (sort of)

;)

Sugar said...

I want to hear from Katsm that she's ok. She was freaking out a bit last night. Katsm?? Are you okay?

White lilly said...

Wow... So LR posts here? Lol
If so, hey Leann, go back to singing, you're kinda good. Stop obssessing about you look in a bikini and your lame husband. He's a bad, bad bunny!
@Agent, I try to read all the comments too, lol
And to all of you going through the storm, be safe. I have no idea what's like to go through a hurricane, a tornado or a earthquake. What I do know is what's like to have a couple of days of curfew imposed by drug dealers because somebody (probably in the the police) killed one of them and they decide to spread terror... oh well, no place is safe in at least some kind of way, right?

Amber said...

@disco & dia - it's the place we guessed, but I think it's a different place, based on something I found that was dated from last year. Ahem.

Amber said...

@Agent - I also try to read all of the comments!

@White lilly - how are you? Are you happy as a watermelon?! :)

White lilly said...

@Amber!!! Lol I had completely forgotten about that, lol
Well, I wish I was, had such a bad and annoying cold, but thanks for asking! =)
How are ya?

discoflux said...

Amber - Nice digging! I seriously had no idea this was going to turn into what it did when I asked for Skyy to elaborate. I honestly thought it was going to be as simple as those two knowing each other in person and Skyy finding out something horrible. Mind = not exactly blown but definitely swaying in the breeze.

The alleged individual is allegedly such a pathetic famewhore that it wouldn't surprise me. If this alleged person we're allegedly reading and posting, I'd allegedly tell them to get into some cognitive behavioral therapy and work through self-esteem issues. If she's allegedly worried about him allegedly cheating, then she needs to let go and stop holding on to a relationship that does not have real trust in it. Don't hang on to it just to prove yourself right if it's all sorts of wrong, sweetheart. Allegedly.

Did I say allegedly enough to avoid a lawsuit?

discoflux said...

Were, not we're

katsm0711 said...

Oh god sorry I posted all my panic. I don't even remember anything I posted! I just found the source of a huge crash I heard last night but it was a neighbors tree and fell away from the house luckily. It's just a ton of not chainsaw worthy branches down in my yard. My power has been on since 11:30 last night which I hate to tell anyone bc 90% of my town is dark! But OMG CRISIS! My iphone is barely texting. I don't know if it's wifi bc my pc works or AT&T. That's it. Everythings fine! Thanks for caring.

Amber said...

Glad to see everything's A-OK, Kat!!

Amber said...

@disco - are we really worried about that? Do I need to delete the link?

Jolene Jolene said...

@disco, amber, et al--Libel isn't libel if it's TRUE! POST AWAY!

discoflux said...

I don't really think so, Amber. I was just being ridiculous.

TalksTooMuch said...

I heard about the Toronto sign victim and spent a frantic few minutes trying to make sure it wasn't my sister because if anyone I know would be walking in 65km/hr wind, it would be her. I got all of my news updates from here!

yodelay said...

Awww damn! I'm away for a few days and I miss some juicy stuff? Pout! Anyway to get caught up now that Sky's comment was deleted?

surfer said...

For those that missed it yesterday, here is the link to the blind. The rest you can figure out.

KS said...

I totally missed everything too, well I saw Sky's comment but I'm totally missing the 10/18 BI. There was nothing scandalous there. The certain people everyone is talking about I can't find anything on. Dangit, I wish someone would fill us in with a link. Pretty please?

yodelay said...

Ahhh, got it. Didn't realize there were so many comments, the mobile site doesn't show them all automatically.

I remember BigSkyy's original comment, given the wow nature of it, and it makes perfect sense now. Guess we know who does care LOL.

Anonymous said...

Stay strong everyone on the east coast! Our thoughts and prayers are with you ALL. You're the best, CDAN family. I love how everyone came together and supported each other. This is so inspiring and heart warming.

Now for something a little different:
Excuse me all, but I've just got to get this out: And it seems apropos(Spelling?):
Leanne Rhimes,I'll try not to make this too painful, if you're reading this, Eddie Cibrian is a cheater, is cheating, and always will be. Go back to Dean Sheremet. Go back to your career, busy yourself with something productive. Get out of our faces with your sanctimonious whining. Perhaps even start writing your own material. Get off the Adderall for fucks sake. Youre wayyyyyyy too skinny and you look like a malnourished marathon running ten year old boy. Gain forty pounds stat. Stop looking for positive attention, sympathy, understanding, forgiveness etc. you're not going to get it, ever. Focus on your talent, writing, creativity, work ethic and character, THAT'S what should garner you attention. Stop slapping us all in the face with your wealth, fancy vacations and loads of free time to take emaciated bikini pics of yourself on beaches drinking with your slime ball husband while we are slaving at low paying jobs to make ends meet. You are not those kids mother, you are their father's meal ticket whore and you're being treated that way. They have a Mom. They used to have a family before you came along. He married her and had two kids with her, you really think there was nothing there? You were just a piece on the side that had money. Your only talent is a nice voice. Have you seen a little show called american idol? There are lots and lots and lots of people with great voices. Go back to your career, get a life, realise the horrible mistake you made and the mess you have made of your life, get off the stimulants and stop trying to make everyone feel sorry for you with your fake tears and why meeeee? Because you're a cheating whining annoying bored homewrecking spoiled rich slut who f$%^&d another woman's husband, and you won't stop whining and complaining to normal people about how your life is so hard and people don't liiiiike youuuuu. You had a perfectly good nice, cute, quiet, normal husband who loved and supported you, and you betrayed him for a boring, stupid, squinty, no talent, washed up, lifetime starring, MARRIED drunken sleaze ball who probably cheated on his wife hundreds of times but finally found someone to support his boozy lifestyle and you fell for it while you were MARRIED too. Do you think marriage means nothing to normal people? Whew, just had to get that off my chest, LR has been bugging the heck out of me for a long time now. I have never seen anyone less self aware in my life. Ahem, back to work.

KS said...

But if you google LR and CD an article from Just Jared comes up, if you read the comments there from CD he/she is NOT a fan of LR. So now I'm back to WCN12-but I never saw Sky's comment on the Oct 18 BI.
Enough initials for everyone? : )

Amber said...

BRAVO, CARMELITE! Hah.

yodelay said...

Nice try, but she is demented...clearly.

yodelay said...

Gaaah, just saw this. WCN works for me.

Anonymous said...

I'm sorry everyone, I'm trying to delete that post, I went a bit overboard...alot overboard.

surfer said...

No, that was fantastic, CarmeliteLady. Don't delete. You said it loud and clear, which just maybe, she'll hear.

Agent**It said...

NO Carmelite L !! I would be clearly disturbed if you did that:)

Onyx Loathes Hydrangeas said...

Lol! I'm also still on the wcn train but I thought clearly was a friend or the same person. Remember her twitter peeps are her bffs so it also wouldn't shock me if someone would be like "omfg did you see what those bitches are saying abt you" and because she's not normal she wouldn't be able to let it go and would be the type to actually login and comment. I also think it would explain all the "you don't know who I am" backstory and parody accounts. Who knows, I'm just saying I could see LR doing it because shes clearly a disturbed individual.

Agent**It said...

Amber, nice catch ! CDAN Super Sleuth !!

yodelay said...

For what its worth, I'm fairly certain it would not be the first CDAN poster to have more than one name, or have conversations with him/herself!

Amber said...

@yodelay - I've seen ppl talking about that before, but could never figure out who you guys meant!

@Agent - Hooray! I SLEUTHED! I'M A SLEUTHER! I'M SLEUTHING!

discoflux said...

Amber - Like how I'm really you and you're really me and we talk to each other as though we're a you and me and not a royal we.

Lucas said...

I hope you are all happy. I have spent my entire morning whacked out on cold medicine and sleuthing on old blinds and Enty identities (I have a guess, but who fucking cares, really?).

And I missed the Skyy thing and it is now gone. D'oh!

So glad to hear our CDaNers on the East Coast are doing well. Hurricanes are yet another reason I love my little corner of the country - we never get them. The worst we deal with is the occasional blizzard (and a couple minor e-quakes like 10 years ago). I grew up in tornado alley and I don't miss that at all.

Amber said...

@disco - it just took me 5 minutes to figure out that you were not quoting something (or are you and I'm now not-so-good at sleuthing?)

@Lucas - aww feel better!!

Amber said...

@disco - wait no one actually thinks that, do they?!

Sunny said...

@amber, disco, agent, dia and anyone else who is trippin on this whole mess

Amber - you (I think) said to google LR and CD. I did that, and also googled LR and wcn. What the? Those forums on Just jared are PSYCHO!!! Clearly (ha ha) they are all making up alter egos and having at it. Is wcn12 a parody of the wcn poster at Just Jared? I'm so confused and need to walk away, but I've been sucked in. Holy. Shit! I can't believe how crazy those broads are!

Agent**It said...

Once a sleuth always a sleuth !


The aerial pix of the storm are now coming through of the storm. Absolutely devastating. Wish we could do a roll call. Storm is now heading to PA and western NY and the Great Lakes.

Silly Girl said...

I'm glad I cancelled my meeting this afternoon! I'd have missed all this! @carmelite, that was awesome! You're saying what everyone else wants to say, but is too chicken (um, me too?)! Good for you. From what is in the media already, you reiterated it perfectly. Nothing new here. Even M would have been proud of your recap. Much like how she does it, but without the self grandizing (sp?). Anyway, my point is how can it be libel when you've offered nothing new, but regurgitated what was already out there? Am I over thinking this? I suffer from 'strong sense of conscious', meaning I care too much what other people think.
Um, that's why I use an alias here, so I don't have to care! Need more coffee....

Agent**It said...

Entwood , I need an edit feature....

Cryscee said...

Did you guys see this on twitter? https://it.twitter.com/blockedbyleann
Someone questioned LR and wcn.

Amber said...

@Sunny - that wasn't me, but I just looked quick and holy crap. They were onto WCN back in August!

Sunny said...

Amber - oops! That was Lisa B. Sorry Lisa :)
I know this has gotten so convoluted, but did you notice in that thread the person's name was wcn, not wcn12? And in one of the "post wars", someone else logged in as wcn, making fun of the original wcn? Jesus, I need a drink.
What does it all mean????? (I still laugh at double rainbow guy)

I just checked out Crysee's link, and they tweeted out a screen shot of my comments. Bitchin :/

I am now walking away. This whole thing is freaking me out. Just in time for Halloween!! :)

White lilly said...

@Sunny, yeah, I just saw that. This whole thing is so crazy, people posting on twitter, the arguments on Just Jared, this is worst than people trying to figure who was himmmm, lol
I had no clue it was going to get this insane. I thought nobody cared that much about Leann. Or anything. What the hell???
I'm very confused...

Sunny, I did notice that, the whole thing is crazy!
I e-mailed you last night hoping you'd fill me in....now I think I'm even more confused! ;)
Also, I'm totally not following Amber's sleuthing...told you guys I was bad at these!

ThisIKnow said...

@Carmelite
Well said. Ditto.

TalksTooMuch said...

I was one of the people nagging for more info; I'm sorry it got you in deeper with the whackadoos! People know that isn't making LR look any saner, right?

surfer said...

Don't worry Sunny - your name wasn't visible on that snapshot/tweet. These people aren't worth worrying about.

Sunny said...

Now I'M the psycho! I just stalked that blocked by leann twitter page, and recognize some of the posters over there from here (hi girls). I guess I should feel some type of relief that they're Team BG. I thought LR's folks were coming after me!

Lulu G said...

@selenakyle , did not know you were on the OBX. I am in Frisco. We are stuck here trying to get out to head south for a bit. You are right , just a PITA here... Nothing like Irene, although we were lucky with that too. Stay safe.. I think there is someone else who posts who lives in Manteo as well. My family & tons of friends are in NJ, and wishing their power comes back soon and that they are all safe

Cryscee said...

That makes sense that's its people from CDAN. I thought word was spreading that fast. It's possible. LOL.

Lelaina Pierce said...

I have been glued to CNN news coverage of the storm since yesterday afternoon only stopping this evening b/c I couldn't take it anymore. My parents live in Monmouth County, two blocks behind the ocean and two blocks in front of a river & we still aren't sure how their apartment is yet (they can't get back there yet). Most of their little town and surrounding beach towns are destroyed. I'm so sad for all those affected by this storm. The first responders, fire, police, nurses, etc. are my heros. I hope all you CDANers are safe.

P.S. Y'all are spending WAY too much time on LeAnn Rimes. ;-) There is someone out there keeping up a Twitter account soley b/c she blocked someone? o_O

Colleen said...

Sooo yesterday when I posted for everyone to be safe early on in the thread, I didn't bother to have follow-up comments emailed to me because I had no freaking clue this thread would end up as insane as it did. Thank you all for distracting me from my obsessive Weather Channel watching, haha. Glad to hear that everyone is safe!

yodelay said...

@Amber, a blogger friend of mine says its not as uncommon as you might think. If two/three people seem to be the only one interested in a topic or an OT topic, if a shit stirrer appears out of nowhere and only one poster keeps getting involved with them or sometimes they are sponsered & on someones payroll, more often than not its one person. Weird as fuck & nutty, but does happen.

yodelay said...

Just want to add, I hope all in Sandy's wake are not.getting hit too hard!
