Shazam!!!

[KY Girl in OH]

It's been raining here, but as stated in a previous post I have had a migraine, so since it was a very light rain with no thunder or lightening I decided to hop in anyway. All was going well for about 20 -25 minutes when a sudden crash of thunder and bolt of lightening had me hopping out of the tub faster than, well . . . lightening  ! Didn't realize I could move so quickly. Was a great soak until then. Cool enough that a small bit of steam was actually rising off the surface of the water. I'll be a little more cautious about rain soaking after this. :-/

Wow!  That's so scary.  I'm glad you're ok.  Did it help the migrane...before the big scare?

We certainly needed the rain, it didn't hit over here till early am today. We had our soak done by 10:30 last night. Cool, but still humid.

risk it..........you were having a good soak........odds are in your favor when it comes to lightening strikes......running on the wet deck was more dangerous than the lightening........but don't do anything stupid, like hot tub in the lightening........lol

Thanks! Did seem to help once my heart stopped racing LOL. We did really need the rain. The summer has been so mild relative to what we usually have, other than the lack of rain for the farmers, it's been almost perfect.

Is running on wet concrete any safer?  Maybe my rubber soled flip flops grounded me

Although I find this thread interesting, I must point out that the correct name of the wizard from the DC Comics  series is "Shazam!" with one exclamation point, not three. Only the proper pronunciation would have turned Billy Batson into his alter ego, the World's Mightiest Mortal, Captain Marvel. However, I must applaud your enthusiastic (although feeble) attempt to generate enthusiasm for this defunct series.

As a semi-professional nerd myself, I appreciate good old fashioned comic book references!  

'Nuff said.

I guess I was thinking partly of Gomer and partly of a Saturday morning TV series (not cartoon) from the 70's (never saw the comic, but am guessing was based on this). I was so young ( ) when Sat. morning series was on that I don't really remember details other than the guy saying "Shazam!". My sincerest apologies for incorrectly invoking the mighty Captain Marvel . Guess my near brush with death made me lose my head .

 :DYou guys crack me up!

I remember that series also!

There was a purple Genie of some sort, and someone also used to say, "Yapple Dapple"!

That Saturday morning cartoon was called "Jeannie", the big purple Genie was named "Babu" or something such.  It was a spin-off of the "I Dream of Jeannie" show with Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman.

Meriflower, your recall is amazing (and scary!)  
Do something useful and go test your tub water.
