It looks like many places in the world need our purrs and prayers. From North Carolina with tornadoes all the way over to China with earthquakes. http://visz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index.php?lang=eng

She was preaching the end of times. She said so many things never happened at once in the world. Well, I contend they probably did but there were not reporters and satellite links and such to report them all at once. Yes, you are right, they all need our prayers.

She was > preaching the end of times. People like this tick me off. You want to preach (or hear preaching) go to church. Doesn't belong in the workplace. Bet she's one of those who waits for The Rapture every time they say it's coming. So far, it hasn't.
Purrs on the way across the world for whoever needs them.

When I was on my vacation, of sorts, and the earthquake hit. My thought was "well is this the rapture" As soon as things stopped, I saw my Uncle turn on the light in his room, heard my Aunt open her door. I figured "well, if it is, we are all in trouble" So, I got up and went to see what they were doing.

Come into work and ask them why they're still here. When they ask you why, wink and say didn't you know? I thought you'd be gone with the rest of them. Then don't say a word about it again. Ever.

Granby, those folks will never be satisfied. People from the times of the 12 apostles have been expecting the end-times within their lifetimes. So far they've all been wrong :) I agree with you, we're not seeing any more calamities than have occurred in the past, but we now have CNN and Faux News, etc to tell us all about the worldwide disasters.

Stormmee - 12 May 2008 20:42 GMT when I run across one of these types... being the rude sort that I am I have a set answer... "so, if its tomorrow or sixty years from now... makes no difference to me, I know where I am going, do you?" usually shuts them right up, Lee

My heart goes out to the people (and furry friends) in the southern U.S. states and to the people in Burma who lost everything (many americans know what this is like) and to the people in China who lost children and other relatives. I also think on a regular basis about those who in much greater numbers suffer at the hands of their fellow "man" day in and day out, people in countries like Zimbabwe and so many others who don't have the simplest freedoms. Please spare some of these poeple your thoughts also.

Kyla =^. .^= - 12 May 2008 23:13 GMT I SO agree with you Gramby. I know, there have always been major disasters and what not, but we are living in 'this' time right now and indeed, these people and animals NEED our purrs and prayers, and they are sent lovingly. It's all so sad. Hugs Kyla

No point whatsoever in arguing with her.
But I'm now older than my Grandfather was when I used to listen to him preach the end of times. I'd sit with them in the evening listening to the news on the radio. He was interested in it all, but especially news of the conflicts in the middle east.
How goes the saying, 'the more things change?
But he would be thrilled that he has great grandchildren on the ground helping in Burma.

I'm sorry to hear about that, Matthew, but I know we're next. We're right next to Polk County and there's always fires there. Has I-95 reopened, yet?

Crist I believe declared Florida in a state of emergency. They just tested the broad cast warning system here
I am wondering if they still have me listed on the DART members list. I will have to call and see if they need me
I got a lot of woods behind me. I got to extra long hoses today with a sprinkler heads so I can lay them on the roof just in case
We just had a fire about 1/2 mile away last week
I wonder if I can go and buy a fire hose since I got a hydrant across the street just in case.
I saw what was happening in Palm by the house burning with trucks right down the road. I am humbled and in tears seeing what happened. I am so happy the Halifax Humane society acted so quickly and evacuated the four legs to a safe area.
I did a back up of everything today just in case and got it stored on line
Granby - 13 May 2008 00:08 GMT Mathew, I won;won't bid on your Mom, mostly because I think Mom's are priceless, if the fire gets to close, tell her to come for a visit. She will be right at home with her gun and pepper spray!

There's no rain in the forecast, either. Temps down here are back in the 90 degree range and we're dry. The lawn is brown, my plants aren't coming back from the terrible frost we had this winter, we've got water regulations; it's a mess.
Stay alert, keep your nose in the air, sniff, and protect your little bitties!

I saw a car with a plank driven through the door on last night's news. Also saw video of a house that had been picked up and flopped on to it's side. It was not a mobile house. Roof was pointed toward the neighbors on one side and the sub flooring pointing toward the remains of the neighbor's house on the other. We got gusts of wind up to 50 mph. no damage here.
My owners are purring and I am thinking good thoughts for the rest of the world.
