Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

In 3 days since using the new cream my fingers are nearly back to their usual selves. OH MY GOD such relief from the itching. The ITCHING. I was getting so worried.

bigD - YEAH! So glad to hear it man.

BTW, is it just me or are quakes looking mighty strange today?

S! How was the Halloween Place??

well, I am off to work. Gonna be a Frantic Friday. Lots of financial pressure going on high management level, which is really disturbing our daily business.

Since we were bought by a big group, the company I work in has gone from an outstanding, respected one with results in the black, to a grey, one of many book keeping item with the wrong jobs and negative result, ruled by distant management, playing pyramid games with money, that would normally send you to jail for the next 800 years or so. I have the feeling they secretly hired Bernie Madoff as financial adviser.

Don't get me wrong, I love my work, my company and colleagues and will keep fighting like I did for 38 years now, but we really need to get out of this strangling grip of this group or this will not end well very soon...

But...

“We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our own, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

Apologies for this early morning rant..

*End of InterMezzo Broadcast*

Happy Friday everyone.

And have a safe trip home Sim. I have a feeling you will take a 36 hour nap when you get home. Guinness Book of Records, here we come! ;-)

And before you know it, you be talking in your sleep..

I'm home safe and sound now. : )

It was a close call too! Of course, because this is how my life goes lol. We check out this morning and go to gas up the rental car before bringing it back. Get halfway to the airport when Nef realizes he doesn't have his wallet, which he had at the gas station. With his ID in it! Panic set in rather quickly. My brother-in-law called the gas station and they said no one had turned in a wallet. We drove back there and THANK GOD there really are still some good people left in this world. Someone turned it in while we were driving back there to check around on the ground. When I ran inside the little store at the gas station and asked, and the man said it was turned in, I almost burst into tears. My stress level was off the hook while we headed back there.

This story might not give you that #FridayFeeling you are looking for. California Tarantula breeding season is here and they are searching of mates. The good news? The spiders are non-aggressive by nature and will not bite unless provoked:
