I felt the earthquake in Indiana sm
It was really scary. My daughter was upstairs while I was downstairs working. It woke her up and scared her to death.
Right next to you in Illinois sm
although Chicago is getting hit worse than we are. So far we have only 4 inches. Could be more later.
City in illinois
Its Oswego. Lived around here forever
City in Illinois
I was going to put this on the state board for Illinois, but I noticed that no one's posted there in months. The doctor is stating the patient worked at GE in s/l Owings, Illinois. I googled cities in Illinois for the correct spelling and I can't find anything even close. Any ideas?
We just had a little earthquake at 8:05 pm here in -
Not very big by Calif. standards, but enough to make waves in the pool, rock my PC back and forth, and get everybody's wind chimes going.
Haha.... works better than coffee when it comes to curing that drowsy, nodding-off feeling!
 
Earthquake...
I felt it. I'm in Southern Illinois. Our house shook really bad. We have a door that rattles when it's windy and the windows are open, and it was rattling like crazy, which then caused my dog to flip out and bark like crazy. It woke the whole household up. No damage from anything, though we haven't checked the foundation yet. It was the worst one I've felt so far. My brother works up at CAT in Peoria and one of his co-workers felt it this morning, just a mild shake for him, though.
Where was the earthquake that caused it? - nm

Anyone from the midwest feel earthquake this a.m.
My husband had just left for work at 4:30 and the bed sharted shaking. Thought it was my cat and yelled out for him to quit. When it didn't stop I got up to look under the bed and drag him out but noticed that the floor was shaking too. I was totally scared but amazed also. I am only 28 and that was my first earthquake, just wondered if anyone else experienced it too. About 10:15 this morning we had an aftershock too while I was at work. My roller chair just kept moving away from my desk, thought maybe the floor was uneven and was sliding into a dip then I figured out what was wrong.
Central Ohio sm
About 20 minutes from Columbus. We can't get the back door open, but we have a covered front porch so at least we can get out!
Central California . . .
a cool 85 for the high predicted tomorrow - yipee - we haven't seen the 80s in many moons. Still in the 90s here. We all better enjoy it. The Farmer's Almanac is predicting record breaking heat next summer. Hope they're wrong.
Cardinal Central
It snowed here in Missouri the other day and I tried to get a picture of all of the cardinals at my feeders. I couldn't fit them all in, hope you can see picture. I love cardinals!
East Central Ky
We felt it here
Hey, all of our central FL MTs out there! Prayers for you and hoping sm
ya'll are doing fine! I just heard that some twisters produced winds of more than 300 mph. Unbelievable. Even stronger winds than a cat 5 hurricane.
Lots of people out there need our prayers and supupport. Let us remember them today at all of their devastating loss. May God give them rest and peace today........
Central PA ~ It's been snowing since early a.m.
Could get up to a foot at least from what I heard. So don't like hearing that!
Central Maine, near Bangor.
We are entering the BEST time of year here. Bugs are going bye-bye and the colors are starting to show. We've already had a few frosts, so the tender annuals totally got wasted. I got some firewood stacked, still need lots more, and the tractor and snowblower are lubed up and ready to go to work! My favorite wintertime activity is plowing the snow with the ATV because I'm totally queeah like that!
Your temps there in Utah would be the death of me! I'm "genetically engineered" to be comfortable in the lower temps northern New England has to offer, know what I'm sayin? ;-)
East Central Indiana
It probably was from a Band Booster fundraiser. Remember the band contests at the State Fair?
It would actually be more appropriate to say it was in East Central Indiana - Muncie-Anderson area.
city. CNN or Comedy Central?

Here in south central Kentucky, we had
-10 degree wind chill Sunday night, then 50s predicted for 12/24 and 12/25.
I live in South Central
It is nice to see another flatlander. :)
34 right now, central Oregon coast range....
20 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. May get up to 47 today, woo hoo!
was thinking of moving to central FLA from Miami
still praying for all those folks who got hit in the 40-mile range that this tornado went through......
Port Authority and probably Grand Central (sm)
have lockers, but have never used one, so I don't really know about availability and size.
Central WA - 4.09 a gallon. I'm selling my SUV! Anyone interested?
There are no lockers at Grand Central, but maybe Port Authority.

Oh, forgot to mention saw hubby on Comedy Central 1 night with
of all persons, Andy Kaufman. People might remember him from Taxi and 1 time he decided he would go into wresting and surprised to see him and my husband in a match on the Comedy channel! Andy also decided to wrestle with women for awhile before his demise in his early life.
way out west
We can't get salt cured ham, so I order it from Smithfield. If you are in the south, you are lucky. For spiral cut, I just grab one at Sam's Club. They are good and not to expensive.
Denver isn't west.....
I will be moving there soon and, sad for me, it is so flat I could hardly believe it. It reminded me VERY much of Nebraska. And the mountains are sooooooo far off in the distance. I would have to say that I would consider Denver mid-west, not geographically of course but sure looked that way to me when I was there. I like living right next to mountains and foothills in SoCal and Tahoe.
But it should be a VERY NICE place to VISIT!!!
Have a safe trip
?? Wyoming not out west?
I have been to Tahoe, driven to Yosemite and on the trip this summer going through the Rockies so do not think where I will visit will be all flat but then again my idea of a wonderful trip is scenery and animals and should get a dream trip again this summer. I said my departure from Denver, going through several states before leaving out. I hook up with an escorted tour and just have the time of my life. Went on same to Alaska last year. What a blast!
Only 10 here in west Michigan.
Windchill is -15 though. And snowing to beat the band to boot.
west florida
3.41 a gallon.
$3.41-3.45 here in West Texas. I have been
checking out yard sales for a bicycle. Not just about gas, I need to loose about 50 pounds plus all these short trips to the store is hard on the vehicle anyway.
denver is most certainly west and is not flat...
I lived in and around Denver for 3+ years - it is not flat at all and it is most definitely WEST..........just not as west as the west coast. Chicago is considered midwest (Illinois).
some people are just geographically challenged....*LOL*
My daughter is at VT and lives in West AJ.
With her guardian angel watching over her, my daughter is fine. After the first shooting, she was released to go to class and was walking toward Norris Hall. The police told her to go back to her dorm. She is in lock down and hungry. What a sad day for the VT community. Please pray for the families who lost their students.
West coast is all expensive...
So you settled back at home, 13K! WOW I would never settle back in Cali... like you said it's way too expensive and the wages (at least what i make) definitely don't keep up with the cost of living. I have found in the South the living is sooooo much more affordable, but then I have to think of the pros and cons like the weather (never been in a hurricane, they kinda scare me)... but the people are absolutely wonderful! at least everyone I have encountered was so nice and polite, again nothing like the west coast. I just visited Atlanta when I was in NC two weeks ago and fell in LOVE with it. However, it's a bit big for me but I am curious to know more about it... just as an option. Do you mind if I email you directly? Thanks again for your insight!
20 here on the west side of Michigan. nm

$1.69 here on the west side of the state. nm

XanaX, I'm with you. West Michigan here and -5 at 3:15 pm. nm

Are we living in the Wild West?....sm
I wonder that the police do not take more action against him.
Your mother has now to live imprisoned with a shotgun next to her bed?
She should make him institutionalized, declared incompetent and the property should become hers and yours.
I live in West Texas
Where I used to work up in West Chester, PA - sm
in one of the neighborhoods behind this shopping center I worked at, was this huge victorian house on a corner. They had it painted similar to this but it was about 4 or 5 different colors, tons of trim on this house. I thought it looked pretty wild. Don't know what the neighbors thought but it did make it really stand out. I used to go for a daily walk on my lunch hour and would walk by it almost every day. I applaud the owners for doing something original and not following the pack. I live in a cedar house now, we stained it (not supposed to stain as the wood was this special type that did not need staining, but it was all moldy and gross) and the former owners had a cow over it when they found out. The house still looks great, no mold on it since we washed (I literally scrubbed the house down wtih a hand brush) and stained it, no discoloration like before, and the stain has lasted longer than the 5 years it was supposed to too. To each their own!
A very small town in West Texas
I live in an 890 sq foot rock house. I am guessing at the sq foot actually. It is close to 900 but not quite there. It ihas 2 bedrooms, 1 bath. Metal roof. I live close to the schools. I live 2 blocks from the local hospital. I just applied for a job there in fact. I worked 8 years for a big 300-bed multispeciality hospital that was 35 miles away. I left because of the climbing gas prices and I thought I needed a break from the office politics. I started working for an on-line transcription company and for some reason just cannot seem to produce the lines or make half the money I was making at the hospital. I have been here 6 months already. I applied to another company to try my luck there and they offered me a job but I read in the paper yetserday this little hospital here is hiring. They do light transcription, filing, I forget what else it said. The best part is I will have benes. As I was applying a nurse recognized me and was telling me about them and they have improved since I worked there 10 years ago. I hope the pay has as well and I hope they still like me. LOL.
I'm with you. I live in west Michigan. I am more than ready. nm

It is spring, traveling in summer out west, my question is
do you think I will see snow STILL there this summer? I am going to the Rockies, Yellowstone and my departure from Denver and ye gads, tomorrow suppose to be snow. Does Mother Nature know it is spring or not?
Not West Virginia....Wisconsin...they look close when you use the initals.
WI.....WV....very close
the wild west of oregon! go east to see family...
every year. my sis brought me to NYC one year and that did it, i was hooked on handbags! originally from the big city and forgot how many good buys there are if you look for them!
Needless to say, I'm ecstatic right now! I may live west coast now..

People leaving their McMansions and traveling West
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well I too have been there,felt that, got OUT : )

I know how she felt!
I keep looking behind blinds and checking the windows, etc. I think I will keep looking over my shoulder for quite some time. I just wish I knew how it got in! My step-father got a chuckle out of it, but understands. I asked him tonight if it will ever happen again. He smiled and said, maybe. I said when? He smiled and said . . maybe tonight!!
I felt the same way!
I though the ending was very disappointing! I hope he goes on to write more books about these characters because that will make it worth my while. I read this when it first came out in September. After reading The Quickie, this You've Been Warned left a lot to be desired for sure.
Ha! Most of us have felt that way before, (sm)
but I think there are solutions for everything a dog does.
Cats are the really tricky pets IMO. :oD
