INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Oh you GUYS!  Remember when I was "fooling around with Vinnie?"  Hah!  Now THAT was something to write home about!  And yes Cammi!  Well Cammi is like my other HALF!  She  and I would not know what to do if we couldn't tease each other....!  MAN, I hope no-one ever takes us serious..... I mean serious about ANYthing we say.

See Cammi used to be a stripper in her olden days.... She worked on the streets, under street lights, while I was inside!  I was inside an establishment where they have Pole dancing, and loud music, and slinky clothes....  None of which I did, or had...

Getting back to my ramble.....   I actually fell whilst walking in the alley with my Husband....  We did that a lot.... looking for vittles and things we can use....   But I accidentally  stepped on a rock the size of a cast-iron stove!  I twisted my ankle, and went down with a THUD..... More like a SPLAT!    And I could not MOVE....!  I could have made that commercial!  "Help, I've fallen, and I can't get UP!"..... But I tried, and whined.... and DH was trying to lift me, but I was dead weight!  Can you IMMAGINE?  I tried pulling myself up on his pants legs.... pulled his pants right off..... right there in the alley.

But I finally got upright....  Then a miracle happened!  "Steve" came driving by.... we had been visiting his Mom.... His Dad was in the car with him.... And here we were just STANDING there.... Me holding on to DH for dear life...... He had his pants on by this time..... So he took his Dad in, got the wheel chair out of the car, and wheeled me home, into my car, and to the damn Hospital!  

Now I am fine and dandy again....  But Cammi isn't.... She has these things going wrong, and I swear she needs to buy a lifetime supply of Immodium AD....  That will fix her. 

But she goes to a lot of parties!  Party animal!..... More later.....!  xoxoxo

so no side trip to Orlando, maybe next year.

Going to class tomorrow to learn how to embellish quilts with beads. Should be interesting.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.

keeping the talk about Ebola going:

Wow the news sent me down memory lane. It was 25 years ago the SF/Oakland earthquake. We were newly married and living in the Oakland hills. My husband was in downtown San Fran on I think the 14th floor of an office building. My cat turned into an instant persian hair on end, bird cage swinging and all the rocks on the roof made a roaring sound like a jet taking off. I heard that roaring before the whole building began to shake - no clue what it was. There was a bank of picture windows 20 feet long and I was standing near them- foolish but I didn't know better. The apt homes were terraced down the hillside like stairs. Wonder the retaining walls above each didn't fall over and squash us like bugs. That quake scared the crap out of me. Then there were zillions of after shocks.. rockin and rolling for days. I could see small fires from our apt windows that over looked the city of SF. 

I told my husband when he got back late that night taking a ferry across the bay, that when they open the airport I 'm heading back to Philly! Taking the cat and going home..Yikes... Our neighbors were from Germantown and she was equally terrified.  For literally months after that quake every time we were on the bridges or elevated freeways my heart rate would zip. Seeing all those photos from the past.. hmm Glad I don't live there any more. They think they're due for another "big one." Wish I bought the tee shirt I saw in a shop window in SF - it said - "Shift Happens!" Too funny. It wasn't funny all the folks who died. Weird to see it on the news again.

Have a great weekend ya'll. The rain is supposed to stop here and sun for the weekend! Yahoo. Sleep well Owlettes

Yeah,  Chevy!  You guys should be nice to me.  😇 Yes, I've had a bitch of a time. ......probably because i started out as a bitch and never got over it? Everyone here has a story and most are more interesting than mine.   Especially that weird crap that Chevy told about her alley cat exploits. Interesting cover story for being caught in the alley with her husband's pants down around her ankles.

I love the owl coprolites!  Laughing owl poop. Amazing that it can even be identified.  

Okay,  I'm going to sit on my branch and turn my head around backwards. ...and blink a lot.

Hi all,

My gosh I'll never catch up. Sorry for those of you feeling sick. Sorry to hear about your sister Enerva. Sending her hugs, you too. Tang I hope your husband is doing ok, can't believe he has been ok'd to return to work. It must be crazy hearing about the schools shutting down. This Ebola stuff is scary. 

I've been busy. I've been involved with a dog rescue group and transported a shelter dog from Arizona to Southern CA. The week previous I had water pump go out in my car and had to get a car rental so I can make my long commute to work. Had my yearly liver CT scan with contrast dye this morning. Don't know if I mentioned I adopted my temp foster wire terrier. She has abuse history and she attached to me and stole my heart. 

We are getting cooler weather finally...Edison playing with the electricity tomorrow and planning an outage from 8-5. 

Good night Owls...

I was in my Freshman year of high school when the SF quake happened. We were getting ready to watch the World Series when the news of the quake came. Immediately following the news report, my stepdad called his parents because we had relatives at that time lived in the SF/Oakland area. I don't think I slept very well until we heard from my relatives that they were okay.

hi owls, checking in after a while away.  Had computer probs, no internet.  The ISP and phone co couldn't figure out why it went kaput or why it came back after more than a week.  I'm kinda sorta caught up here, well OK the last ten pages.    Love to all!

My relatives that lived in the SF area still get an earthquake now and then on the minor scale where they are in southern Oregon. We had a chance to experience a small quake a few years ago when the one in Virginia occured. I had just finished folding laundry and had sat down and got to feel a slight shaking. Didn't know what to make of it until I heard about it on the news!

Sass, did I ignore something?  Again?  WTH???  And I figure everyone sees everything on both threads, so I hate to copy it, because then everyone will think I have lost my mind!   Just go to all the threads gals!  I love to look at pictures, so I copy them.... in other words it's called ....  what's it called.... wait.... It's plagiarized!  

So I can't do that...  And what was that last part?  And you KNOW I don't pay any attention to the fossil part!  Ha, ha!  Did you get straightened out?   Fossil's are skinny, and I am not that....  aren't fossil's just bones?  

Okay Blessings!  I got cha!  See how much I pay attention?  I just KNEW someone did....  And allergic to dogs?    I thought you could only be allergic to cats?  And fish, like I was.

And Sass, that name is wrong!  I couldn't find "him" anywhere!    You mean Neightshlitz? Or Nightslidder?  WTH?

yeah, it's picture perfect tourist weather here too.  And they are coming! Traffic is getting worse. Same for you?

Most times my 2 are sprawled on the deck watching the squirrels. Kris will chase it, but prefers lizzards.  The diva can't be bothered.

Going to meet Fl Warrior, if anybody remembers her, at Starbucks tonite.  Good weather for coffee!

Blessings - to say nothing of the New Madrid fault in W. KY. DH's sister lives in Paducah. They did when she was working in surgery (she's in her early 70s now) have regular earthquake drills. I cringe when I see one there or in Montana.

She meant Nietzsche not that I've ever read anything by him. I've done good to read today's newspaper. But I think I'm on my 3rd football game TCU vs OK State. Might be time for some wine.
