Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Hopefully the storming will quit soon.
It was so strange when I experienced that Earthquake in Alaska years ago. I was coming in the door to our duplex and the refrigerator was going up and down off the floor and I thought it was me,seeing things.
Earthquakes and tornadoes are bad but the worst to me would be those fires inCalifornia.
I have lived with Ca earthquakes where I grew up, and I would take an earthquake over a tornado any day.
Although where I live now, we have both :(
The Earthquake in Alaska today was a pretty big one at 7 on the rictor scale.I was in a 4.7 Earthquake when I lived there in the 80's,but my dH that grew up in Anchorage said the worst one he ever went through was when he was 14 years old and he was on his paper route and it registered 9.3 and that was in 1964.
Where I come from,I had never been through an Earthquake.I'm more used to tornado's.
Everybody knows that CA earthquakes happen in January.
Behaving badly on a Friday night, nevermind me, I am not trying to scare anyone.
No, really, they happen at other times too.
Mwah haha ha.
Well, I did wake up to a 7 on the richter scale, it was on the news, and was reported in Anchorage, Alaska.
I’m getting too old to be hauling 50 lb bags
At least we didn’t wake up to a 7 point earthquake
Good idea CWillie, she can plant in the potting soil in the spring. Lowe's delivers.
Living alone, I once called the army corp of engineers, who referred me to a guy who properly placed sandbags to prevent the rain water from entering under the guest house into the bedroom, which was sopping wet.
The sandbags can redirect the water away from your home.
light rain ? It poured and was windy. Had to get pails at nearly midnight to try and keep rain from going under the cement slab. I still need to clean the floor furnace- I was cold last night
There is a light rain....a very nice day off for us both.
Oh, I already mentioned the rain. It has been so rare, and unlike the fear monger news had warned us about.
Did you get enough "light rain"?
The rain finally arrived here, and is a pleasant on and off again rain, mostly occuring overnight.
Tweety was lost today, I panicked, thinking he could have fallen behind something, and he suddenly got very quiet. Looking everywhere. But he found a new place overhead on the ceiling fan. Oh, there he is, looking down at me. Now I must dust the fan.
She pinched you?
So sorry, she must have thought you were the turkey this year.
she pinched me several times the past couple of visits
(((Have a very Happy Thanksgiving)))
baked sweet potato, Mac n cheese, ambrosia, pumpkin pie, See's chocolate, maraschino cherries for a Shirley temple, honey baked ham, cranberries and sweet Hawaiian rolls
should I bother with a vegetable? 😋
But I feel so stuffed.
I signed up to serve dinners at a local Episcopal Church and met the loveliest people. I was tired and sore at the end of the day and went out for Chinese food afterwards. I felt very good that evening.
The other highlight was when my brother and SIL proceeded elegantly to the back of the church to brings the Eucharistic Gifts to the front, as they had been told to do during rehearsal; no gifts were to be had in the rear, so they just as elegantly processed back the aisle to their seats and pointed to the officiant that the gifts were already on the altar.
My SIL got VERY good use of her lovely navy chiffon ensemble!
"When people flung their potty waste out of the window, they would shout “Gardez l'eau” [gar-day low]. That's French for “watch out for the water”. We probably get the word “loo” from this expression, although some people think it comes from “Room 100” which is what European people used to call the bathroom".
You heard it here first: Loo.
