Holy smoke!

I've been smelling smoke for about an hour, and just went outside and it is really strong out there. There is a four-alarm fire burning about 1.5 miles east of the store. It started about an hour and a half ago.

I met Ken Love!! My first c.com meeting!

He showed me all kinds a cool stuff and weird fruit and parks n' stuff. Awesome day. And he's an amazing cook. Do whatever he says when he talks about recipes.

Went hiking on my last day and got good and burnt. Got home at midnight. Spent lots of time snuggling cats. Got up at 5. Running out of steam.

I'll try to become more human over the next couple days. And put some pics on da book. Just realized that I got none of Ken. I'm such a dork

What's it worth to ya for me to NOT quote your photo post???

By the way . . . yes, the In-law's hole is quite similar except for location . . . they don't get that much traffic wondering by their hole in the ground.

[psawyer]

The news media have some pics of yesterday's big fire. They are striking, so I thought I would share one of them.

The house is in a wooded area at the edge of a valley. Very expensive real estate in this neighbourhood. Ninety firefighters responded and took five hours to put it out.

A rainy morning here in Toronto, but it should clear for this evening.

[jerseyangel]

Mornin all--Happy Halloween!!!!

Wow PeOter, that was some fire! Hope all involved are ok.

Nik--glad yer son got into Amsterdam and good luck wif yer pumpkin I didn't get any pumpkins or mums this year--just too much going on. It does feel like fall today, though. Very cool this AM

Must get cracking here--lots to do. I have so much more energy when it's cool and not humid

Hee! Em had a stretched out page

[elye]

Wow....what a fire, POeter. So sad for those people!

Received a text from me eejit son ...he's arrived in Amsterdam.....

Nik! You have a young, strapping son caterwauling through Amsterdam........good gawd... . .. ......all those legal prostitutes and mind-altering drugs......... . I would be on virtual tenderhooks, methinks..... . ..

I've done battle at the supermarket, ....

And I am about to battle the H1N1 lineup. They are now giving out bracelets and times for you to return......I'm at 1:30 with sister and nephew, who are also high-risk. I am bringing the Password game, and hopefully there will be other potential teammates standing around us.

What's it worth to ya for me to NOT quote your photo post???

Gahhhhhhhhh....... . . . ......noooooooooo o oooooooo o o o o oo..... . . . ...

[psawyer]

Wow PeOter, that was some fire! Hope all involved are ok.

The house was empty at the time. One firefighter was "sent to hospital with very minor injuries."

[nikki-uk]

Good luck with the jab!!!!

[psawyer]

A couple more images:

Flames shoot out from a historic house in the Bayview and Lawrence Ave. area of Toronto, on Friday evening, Oct. 30, 2009.

Firefighters battle a blaze at a house in midtown Toronto, on Friday evening, Oct. 30, 2009.

It messed up traffic in the area pretty badly. The fire broke out just as the afternoon rush was starting, and two major streets were closed to traffic.

Is that the Jillian Michaels? I have the No More Trouble Zones and Boost your Metabolism. They're each about an hour and I'm swearing like a sailor by the end! But she kicks arse like I've never seen. ( much better than those Buns of Steel biotches, or the Dancing Grannies-if you've been watching Ellen

it IS Jillian Michaels - She is.........evil I have watched Biggest Loser a few times, will pay more attention now. she doesn't seem to be yelling at me too much in the DVD.

But - ain't no WAY I can do this for 30 days straight - egads - would SURELY suffer serious injury. Was so SORE yesterday, gimping around the office and cackling, could not do the workout.....well - wait, I could have - thought better against it. still VERY sore today, but must get to it!! <askeert>

Hey! Do those Mini Tesco Whores service the Twa?

no, I believe 'tis the Twa who service the Mini Tesco Ho's As clearly they have vacated Nik's (where is the CHWISTMAS TWEE??????) but...Nik did they help you carve that SPOOOOOOOKY fab pumpkin before they left? love it

You say that now............

Plus it's Friday, in my office, anything goes on Fridays. It usually gets pretty raunchy here with 6 immature men and 1 rummy, sleep deprived, coffee guzzlin lady I will also try my very best to stay away from all the Halloween goodies I made yesterday and brought to work

um, rah-shelle, are we workin' in the same place? (no - there's only three guys usually, and moi, and one fab office mascot - The Weezelle )

...waived my eldest son Daniel off for his weekend in Amsterdam with a group of friends ( )......... he's just phoned, they MISSED their flight

yer boy is in Amsterdam? gadzooks *snackle* For the weekend? oh dear...yes, good thing inDEED 'tis not Devil Child going.....

(pholks, please realize I am conserving emoticonery here as will SURELY get busted )

:irritated face:

WHY WHY WHY can't we have as MANY emoticons as we WANT???? :ggrrrrrrrrrrrrr:

Ray-Shall.....looked up yer "boo-boo". 'Twas pseriously NOT a boo-boo. I stopped even reading those posts some time ago. Advice never taken (acknowledged), just the same ol' tiny violin. I have to say....you found a whole group of people supporting your stance and advice....which was wise advice.

yup, what Tea said!

TEA! sounds like you get quite a lot of activity wif yer daily stuff......dang, are you on your pheets all day at work? could NOT do it......back would give out.......

I used to watch . . . had a bad effect on me . . . I always got the munchies and seemed to sit down wif a bag of chips crisps or cookies bisquits whilst watching. Yes, I gained weight while watching The Biggest Loser.

gahhhhhhhhhhh *cackle*

I met Ken Love!! My first c.com meeting!

He showed me all kinds a cool stuff and weird fruit and parks n' stuff. Awesome day. And he's an amazing cook. Do whatever he says when he talks about recipes.

sooo excited you got to meet Ken! He seems so nice. And indeed, very clever w/ recipes and exotic ingredients n' stuff. FAB!!!

and - how are the kittehs?

part deux coming up - don't want to get QUOTE-busted as well - harrumph

[DingoGirl]

part deux: Nuttin' Much

Poeter! Amazing photos, so sad. What absolutely GORGEOUS homes, with TREES, lots of big, gorgeous TREES, clearly not CLOVIS Looks like I could be very happy living there. With Twa, of course, to clean and maintain things.

Half our house burned down when I was in fourth grade....was w/ my parents and little brother at some good friends' house for dinner.....knew nothing of it until my brother called us, who just HAPPENED to stop by our house to get something (he was living elsewhere) and rescued my TINY, brand-new pure white kit-ten Puffy and our German Shepherd pup Greta. 'Twas surely God's providence. Puff, BTW, spent the night at our -across-the-street neighbors, and when I got him in the morning, he was covered in black soot!

Pads........are you all done w/ the apartment? and yer jet-set life? How's the house?

Hope Judith is doing well........is she on the road? Heading to Sunny California?

what's everyone doing fer halloween? I am having early dinner at PF Chang's w/ a friend from HS who found me on the 'book - second social engagement this week from peeps finding me! So much fun! My friend is 100 percent gluten-free as well (very exciting! she's not celiac but gluten-intolerant) so we are having an early dinner, then I will be home in bed, in the darkened house, avoiding hooligans

Happy Saturday, Sills!

[flourgirl]

We have some guests for the weekend...and we'll all be hiding behind curtains with outside lights off. We don't get trick or treaters here anyway. I think I can feel card games coming on!

Yeah, Psuess, I work on my feets all day. Can't stand the thought of ever having a sit-down job, although there are many days (these days) that I think I SHOULD have. I have always had much more physical jobs than this one. Miss those days of much energy and many muscles!

Pieter...glad the phires were not worse than that! They look bad, tho'.

Welcome home SJgess! What a wonderphul opportunity you've had.

Wicked winds here today..and storms brewing up. Must be Holloweenie!

[elye]

Soooozle! What a story! Your dog and cat saved by your brother.....providence, fo sho' . .. . .. ....

Well, I was in and out of the city administration building in about five minutes.

No line-up. Filled in the paperwork as I stood there, went ahead in, sat beside a nurse, felt the jab, then left.

People have been lined up by the THOUSANDS the last five days -- waiting times of two to six hours.

Was it all a dream?

Incidentally, the first two weeks of shots are to be given only to those with underlying, compromising med. conditions.....I got in with my diabetes. I was curious about the celiac, though, so I asked the nurse if it alone would qualify me, and she immediately said, "Yes. It's autoimmune".

Hmmm. You'd think we'd be lowest priority. Crap, my immune system lets NOTHING past it - - even things it shouldn't destroy! Bits of gluten, beta cells....... Strongest system around, methinks... . . .... ...

[flourgirl]

Yeah, there's something about the immune system being stuck in overdrive. I don't seem to catch the sicknesses that people are suffering with all around me.....I just feel like krap because of the things the immune system targets that it shouldn't. Kinda like dropping bombs on your own cities. Glad you didn't have to deal with the hours long wait. I am passing on the jab....let someone else have it who may need it more.

T'is a paradox ain't it

...I think it's 'cos some cOeliacs have a compromised spleen

I am most bored.....everyone seems to be somewhere tonight 'cept moi

[celiac-mommy]

God bless all the peeps suffering with fire right now!

Nik! You have a young, strapping son caterwauling through Amsterdam........good gawd... . .. ......all those legal prostitutes and mind-altering drugs......... . I would be on virtual tenderhooks, methinks..... . ..

other than the prostitutes, this sounds like the making fir a fabulous vaca!! If I wasn't a married old lady with beh-beh's, I'd be seeking out Nik's son and his friends!!!

We are off to the mall to trick-or-treat tonight. Too cold and icky, (plus Ann Taylor is having a majah sale!!)

Happy spooky night to y'all and enjoy that extra hour of sleep tonight!!
