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.
Today could be better if it just wasn't Monday.
I mean, it is going to be a really hot Monday!
Denny's is serving breakfast.
I don't remember where I was that year, but I think that I had already moved.
There is a reason they call it PTSD MsMadge.
You weren't here for the Whittier quake in October 1987?
Even though smaller in magnitude than Northridge, much closer to the epicenter and hence more damage - I was in the shower when it hit and it lasted so long and was so loud that I couldn't decide if I should run outside naked or try to ride it out - we were without gas and heat for about more than 2 weeks
Regardless of what the caltech scientists say, I always remember the weather being unseasonably hot when these big ones hit
I think it's gonna be cooler in Vegas this week than here 😳
We had a really bad wind storm here a few years ago and I stood with my bedroom window wide open watching all the transformers blowing. :)
To answer your question about EQ's that I have been in (the main ones):
Feb. 9, 1971 Sylmar EQ was 6.5
Oct. 17, 1989. Loma Prieta , So. San Francisco was 6.9
Jan. 17, 1994 Northridge EQ was 6.7
Luckylu, can you stagger their schedules?
We have heated up for a heatwave through Wednesday. I hope this is the last heatwave.
Sorry, borrowed that form of communication from my hubs.
The answer to your question, MsMadge, is:
Yes, I felt the 3.5 earthquake centered out of Castaic about 12:46 p.m. today, Sunday.
Did you feel the earthquake today, Send ?
Thanks goodness the day is a little shorter and the sun is no longer hitting the house, but it's going to be 15 degrees hotter the next couple of days which means it will be well over 90 in here when I get home from work
I need to shower, go to the grocery store and go sit with mom - I bought an xtra little fan for her room -
I've been trying to figure out how to get more coverage for her during meals since my current schedule of private caregivers doesn't cover them - I really can't afford more than 8 to 10 hours a day and right now we're at 14
We are having a heat wave-came on earlier than Monday as expected.
The East Bay has it too near S.F.!
Will the HoCa party be air-conditioned?
Are you surviving?
My favorite dog was a lab mix, named "Bandit" because of the mask on her face. She loved water, and the mud in the canal turned her white fur black, mucky, and muddy. She got away from me at the park-once she even got skunked. Needless to say, lots of baths, which she also loved-that and cats!
She would sit on the driveway next to her kitty-friend.
The whole idea of this thread is that we are off topic!
Having Spinach tortellini with grated parmesan cheese and a fruit plate, including watermelon.
The healthy version, no butter, no sauce.
.
Those blueberries every morning are very sweet though, (25, counting them out like medicine, there are 25), as I sit in my fully air-conditioned home-not scrimping on a/c to prevent heat stroke.
Love you all!
Are you delirious with heat stroke?
Veronica, hopefully after he gets through the puppy stage, he will be easy to handle.
See I am beginning to come to terms with being old and decrepit.
Just remembered I have skinny dipped but alone on a deserted beach. If I did it now the whole beach would flee in horror.
Rather like the joke about the bishops wife who ran through the cathedral in the nude.
Someone remarked, "I don't know what the bishops wife was wearing but it sure needed ironing!"
I am gambling.... I agreed for hubs to get a golden retriever puppy!!! It's a gamble he will actually take care of it or if it becomes my dog!!
Most often, losing.
Trying to be positive, speaking the positive, "I win" has also never worked for me. Lol.
I am sure of it.
