Here's someone with their priorities straight. There have been more than 300 aftershocks from the quake, many above 5.0, and continuing:

One resident, Moata Tamaira, said she had "just moved the booze to within reach of the doorframe. Priorities."

Maybe she needed a snort to help get her through?

If you must sit in the doorframe, you should have your favorite drink.

Did you know that a doorframe is about the most dangerous place to situate yourself during an earthquake? Apparently, you wanna have your favorite drink beside you as you lie beside a couch or sturdy bed.. . ....

I love it. Protect yourself from an earthquake with paper

[mushroom]

And by all means, serve your drinks in a paper cup

And by all means, serve your drinks in a paper cup

Avoids the risk of broken glass AND spilled booze in one go.

I think this brings up a good point for your disaster survival kit. No glass. Unfortunately, gluten-free beer, wine & tequila always come in glass. So besides the plastic jugs of water, you will need cans of hard cider, boxed wine and canned beer so no one drinks your cider & wine.

Tornado safety is almost the opposite of earthquake. Want to be in the middle of the building, bottom of stairs, under a table or beside the bed with the blankets on top.

a sippy cup would be best, no spillage!

[celiac-mommy]

btw, we had some flash flooding here this afternoon! It's coming for us!!

[kareng]

On the weather tonight, they said tropical storm Hermine is coming. Instead of saying how much rain, the weather guy said " Build an ark".

Will be adding sippy cups to the disaster box ( large plastic box with tight fitting lid stored under basement stairs)

Anyone remember the movie " the Day After"? That was when a nuclear bomb flattened KC. Since then ( about 1980), people here have had emergency boxes. The irony is that a plant here in town made many parts, including the timing/ igniting device for those weapons.

[elye]

Holy crap.. . . ..canna believe how long it's been since anybody's posted! If everyone's been busy surviving through a surprise earthquake, I DO hope each of you assumed the position, prone with sippy cups, beside your bed or huge stack of paper. . . .. ...

To resume the Psilly dialogue, I will make the following important Royal Announcement: Can anybody guess what I am doing today, over the next twenty-four hours?

Why, THIS!!!!

[kareng]

Your holding the container while " Angela" pees? Your doing " Angela's" urine test?

[jerseyangel]

Oye....the orange jug again, Em!! Tis just the jug, or will there be a need fer margarine tubs too?

Hope all is ok and this is a routine kind of thing

[jerseyangel]

How rude Twas nae phinished and hit sumphin twice by mistake and it posted

I'm on me netbook since all of a sudden me notebook will not turn on. Must take it to the Geeks and see what's up wif it. Darn (sorry Jan-it) thing is way too tempermental

Anywho,...ventured out in the car this morning by myselph fer the first time up here. Managed to get to the A&P, and the health phood store and back again.

Got an apple pie into the oven--phinally--amidst several interruptions....am now (supposedly ) balancing my checkbook and going through mail that's been piling up....can nae wait till things get back to normal

Oh, and the post office has forwarded Matt's mail here as well as ours....

Beautiful day, though. Cool and breezy wif a definate twinge of phall

[kareng]

Oh, and the post office has forwarded Matt's mail here as well as ours....

There is a subject I know well. The only way to fix this is for Matt to go to his post office and you to go to the one that delivers your mail. Then you both must insist in loud voices that they fix this (calmly explaining to them didn't work for me). Also, calling the national post office number to complain does absolutley nothing. Someone types it into a computer & gives you a number. Nothing happens after that. They do not notify your post office or anyone else. The worst part is that they have now sent notifications to some of Matt's bills that this is his new address.

This happened to me. A family member with a mental issue, decided we were getting her mail. She put in a change of address from my house to a place she was about to move out of. Since her maill never came to my address, the post office decided anything with Karen on it would be forwarded. Our first names were not even similiar. Some mail was still coiming to our house, mostly with Hub's name on it. The way I figured it out was the water company called and said they had a change of address for me and I hadn't paid my bill. They thought this was odd. Credit card companies didn't question it and kept sending stuff to the new address. OYE!

At least you and your son will cooperate with the mail.

[jerseyangel]

Karreighn--I'm cautiously optimisic about the mail debacle. I called the post office in Matt's town and spoke with a very helpful lady. She filled out correction forms for me over the phone for us, and will tell the postal carrier that Matt is still living there.

It was my mistake because by forwarding mail for myself and Mark (2 people), it was taken as "family" (she told me this)--so all those with the same last name were forwarded.

It's a pretty small town--she even said she was noticing a lot more mail going to his address--with the yellow stickers.

And yeah--we'll just hold onto each other's mail until the weekends until this thing is straightened out.

Well the torrential rains that we were supposed to get today from the hurricane Hermine have been anticlimatic. Light sprinkles. However, because it is the end of a hurricane, every hour on TV they interrupt to give us the weather.

Yeah--they love a good weather story....too bad when a storm fizzles and they gota phill the time

Hey, I'm back! Jeez, I have been so busy urinating into a margarine container, and then transferring contents into that orange jug...... . ..I'm tellin' ya, it is quite a production.. . .

Your holding the container while " Angela" pees? Your doing " Angela's" urine test?

Mygawd.. . . . .....Angela has put a pic of her full urine jug on the internet for all to see and/or use. . . ... . ... . . ...this is likely someone I would not want to meet, nor have dealings with.. . . .. .

If you want to confuse them, have the poodles donate to the jug.

OMG the orange jug from HELL............I remember them well. Hope all is well with you!!!!!

Glad your getting out and about in your new town.

You have the worst luck with mail my dear

At least you and your son will cooperate with the mail.

now that's a plus sure oppisite from your experience Karen. what a mess

that's what's nice about a small town. The ladies explanation did make sense for once.........usually they just give us back talk or strange language garble....

hope you stay dry

I can sure relate......I had to do a 7 day collection while working all day........ Think I posted once before on this but on the 4th day they lost the container and didn't tell me till all 7 were done.......... They said i had to re do it..

Can't print here what I told them they could do with their idea

Ha just did a spell ck on mine.........spell ck doesn't recognize 'silly spellings'

Hi all the rest of you wanted to comment more but i'm so behind in reading

Would have liked a bit of rain. Hub keeps trying to grow grass. Psilly man!

WTH? Someone really wanted 7 days worth of your pee? Does it cure warts? Increase male performance? Seriously, do we really pee that whole container in 1 day?

Hub & I seem to be physically degenerating. Body parts are taking turns to make certain that 2 or 3 a day are aching. We will have to consider a spa soon. I'm afraid I may not be able to get out!

[jerseyangel]

Hi Judith!!!

I remember yer orange jug snafu--what a waste of pee

We're hanging pictures--really makes a big difference.
