Christine, Jilli must be out at the moment, nothing at all felt here

12:32 am

dcseain

wd, mitchdick

12:33 am

cybernan

no significant damage anywhere Christine --- a few people lost some dishes or ornaments in Queen Charlotte city (about 100 km from the epicentre)

12:34 am

Christine

That's good. I've picked up a little on the Internet, but without a television, I don't see the larger picture. I'm glad you're all OK.

12:34 am

cybernan

yes -- we dodged the bullet on this one

12:34 am

Christine

Super!

12:35 am

cybernan

the quake was on an island in a remote area

12:35 am

jillibus

Hi all again -- was checking email. Not a twinge of the earthquake here -- it's a long way from here.

12:35 am

Christine

Used to be the Queen Charlotte's, now named for an indigineaous tribe?

12:36 am

Erda

Yes, but it was 7.7 -- strange that it caused so little damage...

12:36 am

Christine

*indigineous

12:36 am

jillibus

I' wishing all the best to our friends in NJ, such as Hego -- and all the gang on the Eastern seaboard, plus DC.

12:36 am

Christine

I've had emails from all over, asking if it affected the L.A area?

12:37 am

cybernan

it was the type of quake where the 2 plates slide against each other vertically rather than overlapping horizontally -- makes a big difference

12:37 am

jillibus

Christine, Haida Gwaii was the original name for the Queen Charlotte Islands.

12:38 am

jillibus

Nan, I believe it was the other way round.

12:38 am

Christine

I looked at some photos from out 'quake in 1995, very little damage, considering it was near a large city. I have one photo with a wall sheared away, three stories of kitchens, with refrigerators and stoves just sitting ther, undisturbed.

12:39 am

rururocks

jillibus

12:41 am

cybernan

pretty sure the plates just rubbed together moving in opp. directions, jill -- they didn't heave or overlap

12:41 am

Christine

*freebie. My computer and I - one of us needs a cuppa.

12:42 am

jillibus

yes, nan, not a vertical heave is what I heard

12:42 am

TheLegend

Hey I'm glad he didnt forget to flush

1:21 am

smores

1:22 am

1:23 am

negativeneil

Probably, jilli.

1:24 am

negativeneil

You mean happier things are all imaginary?

1:25 am

rururocks

1:26 am

smores

un7's are imaginary, oh no!!

1:26 am

negativeneil

Uhh, the link?

1:33 am

rururocks

1:33 am

negativeneil

BOGGLE site. I'm too tired to be typing anymore.

1:33 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah?

1:33 am

negativeneil

I joined that site. It's good.

1:33 am

smores

1:36 am

rururocks

sorry i ran jilli off with my awful humor.

1:45 am

rbud

really? I'll have to be sure and read back, lol! ;p

1:46 am

negativeneil

Yep. It was all ruru's fault.

1:51 am

rbud

of course!

1:53 am

negativeneil

You have an add on Yuku, rbud.

1:57 am

rbud

why, thank you, that's a first!

1:58 am

flosey

not seeing any more, time for bed, goodnight all

1:59 am

rbud

night, flosey

2:01 am

negativeneil

It's a first... add, on Yuku?

2:02 am

negativeneil

Like my rad page theme? I'll attempt a custom one at some point... maybe with some help.

2:03 am

rbud

seems like... let's see... guess not, I see grannyrose and I are friends, though I don't really recall doing it, lol!

2:04 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah? I didn't notice that. Maybe if I took those dark shades off... haha.

2:04 am

rbud

don't know my way around in there very well, not sure where my friend list is exactly!

2:04 am

negativeneil

Huh? I only see myself in her friend list.

2:05 am

negativeneil

Oh ok, it's on your page kind of center and at the bottom. Or should be?

2:06 am

negativeneil

Oh, you don't have all of the modules showing on your page so I can't see that one there.

2:06 am

negativeneil

But it's not so bad. The "Friend Stream" doesn't work anyway... none of the avatars show up, lol.

2:07 am

rbud

well, it said you and I had a mutual friend when I saw your request, I would think that would imply I had at least one.

2:07 am

negativeneil

Oh? Weird that I can't see you on her page then.

2:08 am

negativeneil

Is this the same profile you see for her?

http://tinyurl.com/9lzaptt

2:08 am

rbud

gee, I can see your "shouts" to fauxmage - seems a bit nosy on my part

2:08 am

negativeneil

Nosy? All we're talking about is how the shouts work.

2:09 am

negativeneil

I was trying to figure out where they show up when you post them.

2:09 am

rbud

just not sure why it thinks I need to know what my friends are saying, that's all. I would think it would be between those involved?

2:10 am

rbud

ah, it says I only have one friend, I guess, so wonder why it said mutual. how odd.

2:10 am

rbud

funny little forum site.

2:11 am

rbud

I'm a mod on another little forum, reminds me of BabAnon, very small and not much happening.

2:12 am

negativeneil

Yeah that is strange... unless maybe there's some delay in things showing up sometimes? Dunno.

2:13 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah? Bab Anon could be fun. You can post photo albums in those profiles and blogs too from what I've seen... although I can't figure out where and how to do the latter yet.

rbud

how did you send me the friend request? I tried sending one to g'rose and it says it "won't be sent"

2:15 am

negativeneil

Oh. I went to your profile and clicked the appropriate button. I think it said "Friend". Not sure?

2:16 am

negativeneil

Ok, I'm chatting with her so I'll ask her to do that on your profile.

2:17 am

negativeneil

Is there a downward facing arrow under Rose's avatar on her profile, beside the word "More"?

2:17 am

negativeneil

If so click that and "Invite to Join".

2:17 am

rbud

oh, you have a nice page theme, just now getting around to looking at it! I like it.

2:18 am

negativeneil

Haha, thanks... but it's not custom. Just one they have on there I selected.

2:19 am

rbud

but that invites her to babbler's anonymous, it says.

2:19 am

negativeneil

It's a Celtic pattern... not exactly appropriate for my ethnic background but what the heck? It looked cool.

2:19 am

negativeneil

Yep. Which should connect you I think? If there's no other obvious way to add her there.

2:22 am

negativeneil

Ok, grannyrose says she just sent you an invite.

2:22 am

negativeneil

If you go to your own profile or refresh that page then click "Friends" you should see it?

2:29 am

rbud

nope, still just you and yuku

2:32 am

negativeneil

You didn't see an add from grannyrose?

2:32 am

negativeneil

Hang on there. I'll try to get this fixed quickly... have to turn in very soon. Alarm goes off too early.

2:35 am

negativeneil

rbud? click your "Friends" link on your own profile now and see if there's an add from her?

2:39 am

rbud

nope. I was changing my email addy, sorry to take so long.

2:39 am

rbud

would like to change it here, too, but have never figured out how.

2:40 am

rbud

not to worry, though, maybe it'll sort itself out.

2:41 am

rbud

now I see one!

2:45 am

rbud

okay, done and done. I think I get the mutual friend thing, too, it's yuku we had in common, like everyone there. :P

2:50 am

rbud

and now back to the grid...

2:53 am

negativeneil

Oh, haha.

2:54 am

negativeneil

Yeah. That Yuku dude is pretty popular... really seems to get around.

2:54 am

negativeneil

And I'm off to sleep.. night!

7:31 am

Mom

Got an email from Anniebrook yesterday, as of 7 p.m. last night they were shutting down the elevator in her building and talking of shutting off the electricity, water and heat (which she said they didn't need the heat)

7:32 am

Uneaixoise

10:05 am

They don't like the rain or the wind, so that might give them incentive

10:06 am

Jeff7

my dogs are 6 and 7 pounds so it's a good thing they are on a leash :p

10:06 am

11:08 am

sammysmom

one of my kids showed me the youtube thing last week and i have been crazed ever since............. watching and listening to all my favorites from johnny cash to il volo

11:09 am

MollyL

â™ªYou're once â™« twice â™ª three times, a lady â™«

11:09 am

nrkii

sounds like a good way to keep calm, sammysmom

11:10 am

sammysmom

yup........... love it

11:12 am

sammysmom

that and cooking... making a big pot of soup and then i might start baking.son and i went out and stocked up a few days ago.. we are in ohio so are not too concerned for our area but the kids will be over this week and i want to be ready

11:13 am

nrkii

I'm making chicken corn chowder later today. Needed to get the chicken out of the freezer before I lose power, so I roasted it last night.

11:13 am

MollyL

I'm making some things ahead of time. Macaroni salad and some cornbread to go with chili that is in the freezer. We are not canned food lovers.

11:14 am

sammysmom

is it bad there yet nrkii ?

11:14 am

nrkii

rainy and windy, but worst is due in about 5 to 7 hours

11:15 am

Storm is on a direct path to Peri's and my doorsteps

11:16 am

sammysmom

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .. maybe time to head inland?

11:17 am

nrkii

Last year I got stuck up in Massachusetts, while my town flooded down here. It was not a good feeling. As long as I'm not in physical danger, I'm good with sticking here. I've prepared as much as I could.

11:18 am

sammysmom

i understand.. grew up in portland maine and weathered many a storm off the atlantic

11:19 am

nrkii

Portland, ME is where I would move, if I had my choice of other places to live. I love it here, but I think I would also love it there.

11:21 am

sammysmom

i loved it as a child, but i hate to go there now............... so much has changed that it is not MY portland any more

11:22 am

nrkii

It's the same where I grew up in MA.

11:25 am

MollyL

I'm watching coastal reports and it looks like the whole Delaware, Maryland coast is taking a beating.

11:26 am

sammysmom

yup

11:28 am

nrkii

okay, my goal is to finish this grid before I lose power

for the record: we managed another huge crisis with our son. Talked things out, he came home today after school. New agreements... let's hope we can steer our family through the adolescence storm.

1:42 pm

nobody on here seems scared. After what I've been seeing on CNN, it looks like the Apocolypse is coming....

well, I hope it won't br that bad.

But it will be bad.

1:45 pm

4hours to first landfall.

if prayers can do good (and I believe they certainly do), at least there are a huge amount of prayers going your way that all may be safe.

I was on the 4th floor of a beach front hotel during a wind storm once. You could feel the building shaking. I can't imagine what it's like higher than that.

2:06 pm

rubyfoo

in our windstorm on Sat night, our whole house was shaking and groaning and we're built into a hillside

2:06 pm

rubyfoo

it was awful

2:07 pm

cold comfort, crossy

2:08 pm

urp...

2:09 pm

i was up in it once when it was first built.went up to the space deck above the restaraunt

2:09 pm

nrkii

I've been on the 19th floor during an earthquake, and the swaying, while good for safety, is not good for the nerves.

2:10 pm

hi nrkii, indeed. Must be an awful feeling.

2:10 pm

hego

I also was 7 stories up during an earthquake

2:10 pm

rubyfoo

when I was doing a job with the NY Port Authority, I used to go up to the 82nd floor of the WTC at least once a month. As far as I could tell, none of my colleagues there died, but I went over all the lists

2:14 pm

Uneaixoise

it's so poignant to see a movie now that was made pre-2001 that shows the towers - really jumps off the screen

2:14 pm

Wow! The rain is almost horizontal now!

I think I do something related to that, molly, just not "officially" meditation. I lie down, put a book on my chest, clasp my hands and semi-sleep. Does that count?

2:24 pm

it counts

The grid was ea4/6 to do. I have just said my oohs and aah4/5s over fireworks.Here is a story ri4/7 w/clues if anyone wa4/8s to sc 4/5 through it. I have a very good relationship with my students, but there's one student I ca 4/5 get through to. He is so very de7/44. He de 7/44 everything I tell him to do. He is not ta 5/18. I think there is something wrong with him. He ha 5/12 all aspects of school.I think that he was born with the in6/18 ability to annoy all teachers.He looks at me with a sc5/12ful look all the time. I tried to be ni4/4 to him at first,but on4/5 he assaulted me and that was it.I believe that he practices sa 7/32 rituals every night. It is kind of ir 4/4ic because his mother is also teacher.Hubby wants computer. I am going to give the laptop to my hubby before we get into a he 4/5ed argument. I am going to change my ic4/5 for tomorrow. Then I am going to get out of this se 4/4 and go eat some Ta4/5s for dinner. Then I'm going to watch a Ki4/8fer Sutherland movie.I hope you have obta4/4ed more words w/this story. Goodbye. I'll see you manana

6:44 pm

stidmama

well, elder stidkid is essentially on his own (not self-supporting, but living with a friend in exchange for his helping out) and the younger stidkid is age and stage appropriate *rolling eyes* but generally pretty decent. Pics of him on my blog from the homecoming dance last weekend.

6:44 pm

Jillyjill

Hi stid, it's a little twisty, but very doable...

6:44 pm

stidmama

SHURE! cawfee tawk and GAW-sip and all! LOL

6:44 pm

evanonut

wow, i can't think the last time i visited the blog!

6:44 pm

I am really enjoying being in this classroom. Some great kids, and they are throwing themselves into it.

6:45 pm

evanonut

WELL...i'm just sitting her hoping hubbynut(2) doesn't get deployed

6:45 pm

stidmama

yikes! deployed? as in helping the people who didn't evacuate?

6:45 pm

evanonut

stidder, your blog is no longer in your profile.

6:45 pm

stidmama

6:46 pm

majmom

6:48 pm

o-o

Hope he is wearing more than an orange bowtie

6:48 pm

evanonut

ooooh wind finally!

6:48 pm

stidmama

she did -- she is also an artist (like you) and so she really "gets" color and proportion. She is a beautiful young lady.

6:49 pm

stidmama

hey liz!

6:49 pm

my aunt asked me today if drawing was relaxing for me, i said it was more of a necessity

6:50 pm

Jillyjill

<-----!!FW..wa6/30 was my last...

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Congrats Jilly

6:50 pm

stidmama

how so? the project of the week is drawing upside down (the Betty Edwards thing) and it's tricky -- but I am finding it calming as I do the assignment with them.

6:50 pm

stidmama

YAY JILLY!

6:50 pm

mixi6

congrats jilly

6:51 pm

evanonut

i've heard that's a good exercise! i just started a free online design class through penn state.

6:52 pm

o-o

You tie your feet to the ceiling to draw upside down?

6:52 pm

stidmama

that sounds like a great idea, nut! I am looking for some courses I can do from home too -- I need incentive to keep doing "something" even when I am tired from teaching all day.

6:52 pm

evanonut

spot on bab rab

6:53 pm

stidmama

almost BR... feels like I am upside down and inside out sometimes, anyway!

6:53 pm

evanonut

look at coursera.com mama, they have free classes from lots of major schools

6:53 pm

o-o

More than I could muster ... even if I could draw at all.

6:53 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...well stid...I am STILL working on completing my certification for youth ministry...*heavy sigh*

6:53 pm

stidmama

thanks nut

6:54 pm

stidmama

wow. like the idea of "creation of artifacts"

6:54 pm

Jillyjill

And, evanonut...it is nice to 'meet' you!

6:54 pm

evanonut

the next class i want to take is something about irrational thinking

6:54 pm

stidmama

still, jilly? thought you had that almost done?

6:54 pm

evanonut

that's the one i'm in, design:creation of artifacts in society

6:54 pm

stidmama

ah, maybe you could teach that one, nut? *ducks quickly behind BR*

6:54 pm

majmom

wa6/33 anyone?

6:54 pm

stidmama

fun, nut!

6:54 pm

evanonut

i wrote the textbook ;-)

6:55 pm

Jillyjill

Not even close, 2 out of 8 sections completed...others anywhere from 50-70% complete.

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

stidmama

ah, how's ren these days? I miss her!

6:55 pm

majmom

wa6/30 not 33

6:55 pm

Jillyjill

What is hampering me is that I have not had to compose college level writing for 30+ years...feel really stupid

6:55 pm

stidmama

Our pirating adventures sort of fizzled out. *sad mama look*

6:55 pm

evanonut

most we do is a few facebook messages to each other a month

6:56 pm

stidmama

jilly, would be happy to offer distance tutoring if you want it.

6:56 pm

o-o

Is not irrational thinking rather a norm, if there is such a thing as a norm?

6:56 pm

evanonut

yeah, big time my fault, i disappeared. i wasn't trapped in the house anymore.

6:56 pm

stidmama

I like norm -- he's my favorite character in the entire bar...

6:57 pm

Jillyjill

wa6/30=w+an5/10 (first one)

6:57 pm

stidmama

LOL it's great nut! Off on your own adventures, sunny beaches, handsome man at your side...

6:57 pm

evanonut

jilly, if you're in here, you're probably writing better than current students anyway. student writing is REALLY going down hill.

6:57 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, thank you both evan and stiddy...

6:57 pm

evanonut

didja see my yellowstone shots?

6:57 pm

majmom

aetna

6:57 pm

majmom

sorry

6:58 pm

Jillyjill

I am going to reread some of the required literature in the evening in Hawaii...maybe the island life will relax my brain.

6:58 pm

stidmama

no -- I missed those! you went to yellowstone? (very cool) I want to go there someday

6:58 pm

stidmama

is that a plug for insurance, majmom, or a valid word *hopeful mama look*

6:58 pm

Jillyjill

Yellowstone?? When were your there evan? I live 6 hours east of there...

6:58 pm

stidmama

oh! it is, if you drop the A...

6:58 pm

Jillyjill

sorry stid, not in today's grid?

6:59 pm

stidmama

hawaii?? when? do you have room in your suitcase for me? which island? *envious mama look*

6:59 pm

evanonut

i was there end of august, twas my honeymoon, was supposed ot meet blue and amy but it didn't work out

6:59 pm

evanonut

jilly, required literature in hawaii...hawaii is for lusty shameful romances i thought

7:00 pm

Jillyjill

Stid...we have plenty of room in the condo for you..fly to Kona between the 1st and 9th!

7:00 pm

stidmama

to tag onto what nut said, jilly -- I am generally hypercritical of my own writing, college teachers are mostly complimentary when I think it's atrocious... you are probably the same way!

7:00 pm

evanonut

kona coffee rocks

7:00 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks evan ;0

7:00 pm

stidmama

bummer. I have work in that timeframe... *sigh* I'll be thinking of you, though!

7:00 pm

Jillyjill

Our oldest was working in Mammoth for the summer...did you perchance stop there?

7:00 pm

evanonut

7:01 pm

7:02 pm

Jillyjill

Well, he was working in the grill, what were your folks doing at Old Faithful?

7:02 pm

evanonut

7:02 pm

Jillyjill

We spent our honeymoon in the park BTW....makes for good marriages evan! 31 years for us!!

7:02 pm

7:02 pm

Jillyjill

He was in the Mammoth grill

7:03 pm

evanonut

ha ha, who knew! i never ate there though...and i was disappointed that it no longer looked like the post cards

7:03 pm

o-o

With divorce rate, there are fewer old faithfuls these days.

7:03 pm

Jillyjill

The Inn grill, the one at Lodge or the one in the store?

7:03 pm

evanonut

did you see the post card of the buffalo that fell into a thermal pool, escaped, and was then chasd by a grizzly bear?

7:04 pm

evanonut

the one in the store

7:04 pm

Jillyjill

*beams proudly* I know BR, we are VERY grateful...but we have WORKED at it...

7:04 pm

evanonut

bab rab, i can proudly say i've never been part of the divorce rate

7:04 pm

PastorJ

lol br! but maybe we should say, with fewer old faithfuls, the divorce rate is up!

7:04 pm

Jillyjill

The one owned by Delaware north or xanterra?

7:05 pm

stidmama

cute, pastorj

7:05 pm

evanonut

whoooo...hmmm...it was the nicer one to work for...lemme see if my hub can remember

7:06 pm

evanonut

7:07 pm

Jillyjill

Ahhh, stopped in there for ice cream, but had lunch in the old Ham's store...

7:07 pm

evanonut

7:08 pm

stidmama

E on the far right for NBT please?

7:09 pm

evanonut

sorry, havne't got it

7:09 pm

Jillyjill

7:09 pm

Jillyjill

Have you ever seen Grand Geyser go off?

7:10 pm

7:17 pm

stidmama

thanks for that one sue!

7:18 pm

uusue2

hi stid! I got it from molly's clue.

7:19 pm

Jillyjill

Hi uusue! How is Frank handling 'the prep'?

7:19 pm

stidmama

man, I didn't "get" molly's clue AT ALL. I am really tired -- slept poorly last night, woke up too early... long teaching day. LOL but thanks molly, too

7:23 pm

uusue2

hi, jilly, he hates it.

7:24 pm

stidmama

got the 8 though...

7:24 pm

uusue2

and he had a giant attack of diarrhea this morning before he even started it so at the moment not much is happening...

7:25 pm

Jillyjill

Well, NO one like it (or I'd be worried) but was concerned it would exacerbate his symptoms...

7:25 pm

uusue2

yes, I am worried about that too. So far so good but we shall see.

7:25 pm

stidmama

do we have lickety today? If so I will take a short nap and come back later to finish

7:25 pm

Jillyjill

yes!!

7:26 pm

uusue2

we do, stid, have a nice nap!

7:27 pm

stidmama

okay, thanks -- down to 47 zzzzzz *poof*

7:28 pm

Jillyjill

Are they using the one where you mix the laxative with gatorade? If not, I would suggest he drink some plain gatorade (or like electrolyte drink). It'll help support Na+ and K+ levels

7:28 pm

Jillyjill

See you later stid..sweet naps!

7:28 pm

uusue2

yes, they are, jilly, unfortunately he doesn't like gatorade

7:29 pm

Jillyjill

Well, it really will help keep him from the dangerous consequences of the dehydrating effects of the prep.

7:30 pm

Jillyjill

brb...

7:30 pm

uusue2

indeed. and I will try to get him to drink some water once he finishes the first batch of prep

7:34 pm

MollyL

I guess math clues are more "get-able" than wine clues. Who knew?

7:34 pm

Lizlin

Your wine did it for me!!

7:34 pm

uusue2

well, I got the math word from the wine clue, so there :-)

7:35 pm

Lizlin

Strictly speaking, I guess I did too!

7:35 pm

MollyL

Sue, you are so well rounded. : )

7:35 pm

uusue2

Ha, that is more true than I would like it to be :-)

7:35 pm

she was here a few minutes ago, bichon

8:31 pm

She was here a minute ago.

8:31 pm

uusue2

how are things by you?

8:31 pm

I guess she still has power

8:32 pm

Ok, we have power but my daughter down in the New Haven area doesn't

8:32 pm

hi bich

8:32 pm

uusue2

I used to live in East Haven right on the beach - glad I'm not there now!

8:33 pm

wht

Things seem a bit less windy now but it is still raining. Lost power but only for an hour or so.

8:34 pm

bichon

wow! sue. There are people in East Haven who didn't evacuate and are stuck in flooded homes. They're told to go to the top floor of their houses

8:34 pm

uusue2

pretty dumb. I was a graduate student at the time; the house was cheap to rent because it was a summer house and we were living in it in the winter, but I never would have stayed through something like this.

8:35 pm

smores

have you spoke with your daughter bichon?

8:37 pm

smores

only out for an hour, that's good wht

8:37 pm

MollyL

I've heard they are being pretty tough on people who refused to evacuate.

8:37 pm

wht

We were pretty lucky so far. But that doesn't mean it can't go out again.

8:38 pm

wht

Maybe they don't evacuate because they are trying to win a Darwin award.

8:38 pm

uusue2

well, it really puts the first responders in danger when they have to go pull people out of situations that they shouldn't have let themselves get into in the first place

8:39 pm

I agree Sue.
