OT: I really hope Rick or Dana win the photo contest...

But there were so many good ones!! I had to vote for mine, of course, but I really wanted to vote for Maggie or Kayden too...

SO hard to choose!

Just wanted you all to know...all is well here.

It was my first earthquake and I knew immediately what it was when it happened.

I was actually awake b/c WHF and I had fallen asleep on the couch and we'd just gone back to bed. I was having trouble falling back asleep when I heard the window start rattling and looked outside to see if it was windy. Not a limb blowing. So I knew it was probably an earthquake. I got back in bed and about a minute later or so...my bed started to roll. Then it all stopped.

Actually we just had a tremor right before I typed this.

It's scary only b/c I'd never experience one...otherwise I think it's kinda cool. (Maybe I should think about getting earthquake insurance...:lookaroun) Earthquakes usually don't happen here, but we are near the New Madrid Fault and that one has been dormant for quite some time. Where the earthquake actually happened was about 128 miles from here and it was a 5.2.

I just got this email from Stacey with a big "I love you, Mom" attached to it.
I'm a wee bit happier... :)

Someday when my children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them,
as my Mean ole Mom told me:
I loved you enough...
to ask where you were going, with whom,
and what time you would be home.

I loved you enough to be silent and let you
discover that your new best friend was a creep.
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.

I loved you enough to let you see anger,
disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect.

I loved you enough to let you assume the
responsibility for your actions even when the
penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough...to say
NO when I knew you would hate me for it.

Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm
glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.

And someday when your children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.

Was your Mom mean? I know mine was. We had the meanest mother in the whole world!

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we
had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.

When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch,
we had to eat sandwiches.

And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was
different from what other kids had, too.

Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all
times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She
had to know who our friends were, and what we were
doing with them. She insisted that if we said we
would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve
to break the Child Labor Laws by making us work!
We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to
cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash
and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie
awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.

She always insisted on us telling the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time
we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had
eyes in the back of her head. Then, life was really tough!

Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn
when they drove up. They had to come up to the door
so she could meet them. While everyone else could
date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16.

Because of our mother we missed out on lots of
things other kids experienced. None of us have ever
been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's
property or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault.

Now that we have left home, we are all educated,
honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean
parents just like Mom was.

I think that is what's wrong with the world today.
It just doesn't have enough mean moms!

I'm so glad you're okay, Nibbs. :kiss:

Okay so what is up with the earthquakes happening where they normally don't. First here SE of me and now up there.
Shifting's going on in the crust, I guess. And probably that one helped to trigger this one. Which makes me leary b/c the New Madrid fault is closer and it's been dormant for years. And it's very near the fault line that just shifted.

I dnow people are talking mor and more about the end times being near. I hate thinking about it. It scares me to think that way.

eh...I don't let that stuff bother me. I think really it's just b/c we're in some shifting patterns. They happen every so often and I would assume we're in one of them. I don't think it's any worse then normal though.

:wave:Back from lunch.

Heard from Nicole. :) I texted her to see what they were up to today (they're going shopping :king:). She said she took her very 1st subway ride. She says "It's no monorail!". :ROFLOL:
