@StableInvadeel
I love the thunder, last time we had a storm I was doing art in the night whilst listening to thunder and watching my window for lightning.

@Sunsy
Yeah because I'm in United Kingdom near Europe you can buy thousands of Smurf items online, there mostly shipped from Belgium or Germany.

I think there may be afew dealers on ebay USA for Smurf figures too.

I saw a documentary where some women collect thousands, there are so many of them.

I never knew before there was such a market for it, I watched Smurfs TV show as a kid but didn't know until as an Adult it was so popular.

(*The Smurfs was created in Belgium)

Yeah that's when it's no longer fun.

I was once in a double decer bus when lightning hit the top of it, the whole bus windows blinded us lol.

At least this time it has an excuse to go.

This rain turned out to be a competent tropical storm.

Oh wow that sounds scary.

It rains all the time here, had real heavy down pour the other day.

Yeah it was hahaha, I have nearly been hit by lightning afew times. On my pedal bike years back was right in front of me, was the worst.

Luckily never had a problem when driving a car, even better not to have it on my moped.

I think we get Lightning more frequently then other countries, because it rains so much.

@ScottNintendo Cool. Over here Amazon is amazingly an official place. They have their own Smurfs storefront. This is where I got two of my shirts from (nice too since it weaves out the potential bootlegs third party sellers sell).

I remember seeing the show on Cartoon Network when I was a kid, after seeing The Lost Village movie, I really enjoyed the movie a lot that I decided to pick up some of the DVDs out there to watch the show again.

@StableInvadeel Times like that, I like to play a handheld game to pass the time. One time the power was out for a week, and I ended up pulling out an old AA-battery powered GBA to play. Hope the power comes back on soon.

Here you could probably count the number of times it rains in a normal year with a single digit number.

More often than not, most of those are from hurricanes and storms.

It wasn't here, but we once had lighting strike right outside the house we were visiting at the moment, we were near a window when it happened, and it was blindingly scary. But nobody was hurt.

As for what to do, right now I'm keeping the dogs company. The thunder scares them.

@Sunsy
Yeah the TV series of the Smurfs is really enjoyable, I haven't seen any of the animated movies though.

@Stableinvadeel
Yeah animals don't like thunder, my cat is the same. Best to keep them in doors when weather like that definitely agree.

@Sunsy It has been a good day for the most part, though I got a little hung up during some of the adulting. XD I've tabled some of that for Monday now since I'll have to consult my work's HR to get some answers. I have a rough idea on how my budget is going to run for the next few months at least. I'm trying to figure out retirement and income changes that are now in effect with my new job.

@StableInvadeel I feel for your dogs; a lot of them hate storms. I know someone who sometimes brings their Boxer into work (keeps him shut up in her office) because he absolutely hates them. He cowers and whines. He's a very well-behaved, laid-back older dog.

Our Dachshund is like that. Normally she's the alpha, but as soon as thunder or fireworks happen, she's a big blob of scared mass.

I'm other news, it's amazing how the toads just kinda sprout off the ground whenever it rains. They're hardy little fellas.

@ScottNintendo It is. The few times I've seen it on Cartoon Network were on days when I was sick or home from school. It always came on during the day so I haven't seen much of it until the DVDs. Will say of the three movies, The Lost Village was the best of them. Unlike the live action/CGI ones, it was faithful to the original cartoon IMHO.

@Tyranexx Sounds like it's going to be busy, hope it works out.

Whenever someone mentions toads it always reminds me of Mr.Toad from The Wind In The Willows and then the obsession of motor cars. Lol
(The movie with real life cast, is pretty hilarious.)

@Sunsy Thanks! I hope so too. It's a side effect of switching jobs and trying to plan for the future. XD

@Tyranexx You're welcome.

@ScottNintendo For me, whenever I hear the word toad, I actually end up thinking Toad from the Mario games.

I know this is going to sound odd but when I think of Mario's Toad I never link it to an actual toad. I mean is he meant to have any resemblance to a Toad?

@Tyranexx I'm tempted to tell you to tell me all about that pizza, but I'm kind of afraid that it's going to make me put my gaming budget for the next couple of years into a ticket to hickory-dicksville, just to taste some pizza..

@ScottNintendo Mario's Toad is just short for Toadstool, so basically, he's just a little mushroom fella...

EDIT:
Damn, @StableInvadeel beat me to it...
