DAMN! Apparently there was another earthquake in Japan. $:-\$

Well, that was kind of unseemly post, but...

WELCOME TO PAGE NINE!!!!!!!!!

Certain things, such as hysterical females, have become a cliche, at least in chick lit. I find these characters tiresome, not funny. I can appreciate the friendship theme, but just found too many holes in it. Maybe with a different cast or a stronger script, or ...

I'm watching "New Year's Eve with Guy Lombardo" on public TV. Not sure what year it's from the guide just says "vintage"

I always say New Year's Eve belongs to Guy Lombardo. Those were the days.

Another earthquake? Oh, no.

Wae-Ling came over in the afternoon and she made a cake to take to the party. It was a thing of beauty. Truly. Then after we read a couple of chapters of Little House on the Prairie, Mae-Ling came over and she wanted to make some chicken matzoh ball soup, which she did. Then we all went to the church and sampled everyone's soup and played games.

Yorkshire pudding is out of the oven. Waiting for the DP to tell me he's on his way home, and I'll finish the potatoes and the broccoli. Must set the table.

It was a strong one, a 7.0. However, it was about 330 SSW of Tokyo in the Izu Islands. It apparently was very deep too. At this point, no tsunami warning has been issued. The reports from Tokyo are more along of the lines of "Did something just happen?". Hopefully, it really was that mild in the populated areas.

Where did you learn of it, Jose? None of my news sources haven mentioned it.

Jeanne · « **Reply #249 on:** December 31, 2011, 09:55:53 PM »

Then again, I suspect most news organizations are celebrating New Year's Eve.

I, too, shall do the shower thing - good to cleanse all negativity and bad and watch it go down the drain.

Boy did that shower feel good. I will sleep well tonight. I have just eaten an orange and am drinking a cup of tea

It's been coming over Twitter. If you head to www.BreakingNews.com there are some updates, as well as links to the earthquake monitoring sites. -I think most of the U.S. is still covering Lady Gaga and Mayor Bloomberg dancing in Times Square. And/or they're still drinking champagne.

Jeanne · « **Reply #252 on:** December 31, 2011, 09:57:27 PM »

Maybe it was like our LA earthquakes--the minor ones, I mean--in the populated areas. I hear little these days about the rebuilding efforts in Japan.

Jeanne · « **Reply #253 on:** December 31, 2011, 09:58:29 PM »

Thanks, Jose. I'll check that site.

Just be sure the check the date on the photo if you click on "Japan Earthquake" in the lefthand column. That picture is from earlier this/last year.

I watched the ball drop eastern time wtih Kathy and Anderson. Now I'm watching Carson Daly delayed so we can watch the NYT ball drop central time.

Fireworks are being sold in South Dakota this year, so I'm curious if I'll hear any. Of course the wind is about 40-50 mph out there tonight, so I probably won't hear it anyway

Laura · « **Reply #257 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:01:55 PM »

Still another hour until the New Year here.

But have some 2011-2012 cake:

Cillaliz · « **Reply #258 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:02:39 PM »

This is really annoying, they are right by the noisemakers

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #259 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:03:10 PM »

And since it is January 1...

Happy Birthday to my youngest brother, Jay!

He's now joined the rest of his brothers in Club 4-0!

Laura · « **Reply #260 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:03:10 PM »

We've been hearing fireworks since 9 p.m. They are legal to possess now; however all the cities have banned them. Some of them are awfully close, and we swore we heard something hit our window.

Jeanne · « **Reply #261 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:03:21 PM »

Is that Wae-Ling, Laura? She looks very sweet.

Jeanne · « **Reply #262 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:04:13 PM »

The earthquake looked too close for comfort to me.

Jeanne · « **Reply #263 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:04:43 PM »

Happy Birthday to DR J's YB, Jay!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #264 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:07:01 PM »

HAPPY NEW YEAR CENTRAL TIME!!!!!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #265 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:07:20 PM »

Wow, even with the wind I hear some fireworks

Cillaliz · « **Reply #266 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:07:39 PM »

They are illegal here, but they are for sale across the river so that never stopped anyone

Laura · « **Reply #267 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:09:03 PM »

That's Wae-Ling. She is growing up so fast.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #268 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:09:22 PM »

That was either a big firecracker or a tree falling, maybe I better look outside...oh I think it's fireworks

Cillaliz · « **Reply #269 on:** December 31, 2011, 10:10:48 PM »

It was kind of funny, Callie has been upstairs all night and Ricky has been in the basement, they both came into the living room to join Boo and I right before the stroke of midnight. Too funny
