My cat seems to have adopted a spider. Does that count?

Seriously though... who?!

We give up - someone better post soon!

Stopher -glad to hear that you are still employed through next spring with your company. That's a relief for you all. So very sorry to hear that your FIL is not doing well. We know that this is a very difficult time for you and especially your DW. Prayers for you all.

JimmyTammy - we're sure that you received some insightful feedback from the rest of the group who have children, and maybe have been through a similar situation. Having had the opportunity to meet you all last December, your daughter seems to be a very level headed girl. Things will work out as they are meant to - have faith that logic will prevail.

So I was just 35 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake yesterday - and I must say that I have new found respect for all the west coasters! I was working and when the earth started moving and the walls of the office building started swaying (with two floors above us) I dove under my desk! It only lasted about 15-20 seconds - but it seemed like forever! How did I know to dive under my desk - thank you LA INK on TLC! Yes, I admit to watching it, it's such a train wreck of a show, I want to look away and just can't! Last week they brought in an earthquake "trainer" to teach people how to respond during an earthquake (do not go under a door frame unless it's load bearing!) and that's exactly what I did. Once stuff stopped moving, we beat it out of the building and went home for the day. Last night, at 8:04, another aftershock of 4.8 hit - and we felt that one too. Must say, I was on edge the rest of the day. What an adrenaline rush - and not the good kind! There was lots of damage in Mineral, VA where the epicenter was - houses off of foundations, walls collapsing, etc. BIL in Corning NY felt it in his office, and my DB in NJ felt it in his office. Ah, the power of mother nature. God's way of letting us all know who is really in charge here!

Hi Groupies:

I'm amazed how much the earthquake impacted so many people in several states. I spoke to my mom's upstairs neighbor today and she felt it. Her perfume bottles were rattling as well as her bathroom pipes. My mother never felt/heard a thing. I'm glad that all of you are safe!

As of now... looks like NJ will get slammed with a Cat 2 hurricane over the weekend. We have huge trees close to the house and I fear that one of them might topple over. Will be doing a lot of praying.

For those of you in Irene's path I pray for your safety and hope all of you will be OK.

DiznyDad ~ Awwwww the love is flowing between you and DiznyDi... how cute!

twinklebug ~ Did you name the spider that your cat adopted?

Muushka ~ You crack me up!

 

[Muushka]

We give up - someone better post soon!

I agree, SOMEBODY better post soon

HD, that was some experience you had with the earthquake! Wow!
I have to ask, what is your DB? I thought I knew all the D....s, but not sure here.

I am married to Mr. Hurricane. When a hurricane is coming, no more Mr Muush.

And I have a bad rep due to hurricane Andrew in '92. The really bad boy. We lived in S FL and he was headed our way. We lived on an island, so we had to evacuate. I, of course, was sleeping on the couch while he was running all around the house 'preparing'.

Of course, even though it did not hit us (but went south to Miami), I still remain the hurricane laughing stock of the Muush household.
And I still, to this day, am reminded of how goofy I was!
Now I get the water, batteries, flashlights, gas up the car, get the cash.....
But I am still the hurricane loser!

But I must admit, when we were hit here in NC by Fran, we were prepared! Nobody else was, but we were!

Hi Groupies... Me again...

The person that Muushka is talking about is me. On Monday I became the proud bouncy owner of this...

Say hello to Scarlet O Speedy (aka Speedy)... 2011 3LT Corvette....

The story, since many of you don't know me that well (except Muushka):.. I'll try to keep this short... oh I doubt it....

I'm not able to have children. DH/I tried to adopt and after three agencies, six years and many leads our dream of becoming parents didn't come true. It broke my heart since I really hoped DH/I would have a family. On top of that my mother fell last year and broke her left hip/shoulder. She fell on my father's grave while trying to remove the silk holiday flowers. I had no clue she was going. Mom left her cell phone in the SUV and was not able to call for help. Luckily a couple heard her scream for help, called 911 and DH/I. If it wasn't for them, mom would have frozen to death. Her recovery has been long along with having other health issues to deal with. Due to being the only child... the responsibilities and worries are with me 24/7. I do almost everything for mom from taking her to the doctors, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. DH handles the finances and believe me that's a huge help. DH has back problems and a stressful job so I worry about him as well. The last several years of my life has been beyond challenging with one thing or another. The only family I have is my husband/mother. I ended up being the rock due to so much going on maintaining two homes, landscaping, errands, worrying about DH/mom and keeping everything afloat/calm.

Due to everything, especially the adoption not being successful, DH promised me that by my 45th birthday (in Sept.) that I will finally have my dream car... a Corvette. I honestly didn't think it would happen and never expected it. He kept his promise and words can't describe how happy/grateful I am. This was a twenty year dream that has finally come true and even typing this I'm getting teary eye again. For the first time in years the bounce/glow has returned. DH is a fantastic husband and I love him more than words can ever express. He knows that I've been through a lot and is amazed on how I handled everything.

Please know that I'm a down-to-earth person and I appreciate everything in life. Whether it's a gift, something I picked up at the dollar store to having a home, etc. I take great care of it and thankful for everything I have in my life. My parents/grandmother raised me that way and I truly believe in it.

So there you have it..

Have a great evening everyone and thanks Muushka...

Thanks for the advice. I have gotten several responses and it has been all great, and very much appreciated. No matter what, we have to step back, breathe, and make sure we approach in the best way possible. Most of all, with Gods guiding words.
I am glad you folks fared well during the quake. Lives have been shifted and changed for sure. Hopefully those who had damage can get thing back on track in short time, and so far no one seriously hurt, that is most important.

Wow! Those are some wheels! Congratulations! You have truly been through a lot for your years! You deserve to have what you dream for. Your family is what you make it, and even if it is small it sounds like it is full of love. Keep smiling and loving life, it's too precious not to take advantage of every moment. Enjoy your new toy and take good care of it!

Hi Groupies

I must confess, I brow-beated I Book into posting her new wheels. She wasn't going to,
but I assured her that Groupies are happy for each other when good things happen.

By the way, I had no idea that happened to your mom. As was mentioned, thank goodness that the couple had seen her.
