Well once again fires threaten So Cal, close to LA. Not close to Anaheim whereI live but still I am so annoyed by fires, especially if they are started by stupid people like the last few fires were. It's dry, hot and a lot of shrubs. 12,000 homes threatened, many already burned down, animals scared, humans scared...it's not fun! Many have been evacuated and firefighters are doing their damndest to fight the fire.
Please send thoughts and prayers to those who have alraedy suffered and to those who may be suffering now and those who may be suffering.
And that is supposed to say got to love Cali...sorry tired...
My thoughts and prayers are absolutely with those who are being threatened by the fires.
I used to spend a LOT of time in Anaheim, as my old company used to have an office on Batavia. Let's just say the Marriott near Disney was my home away from home! Glad the fires aren't in your neighborhood.
thanks Irohner...I appreciate it and yea glad it isn't in my neighborhood.
Crazdwriter, I saw the news last night and I hope everything is okay with the people who live in South California, especially the hubbers from that area.
Our thoughts are with you all.
We know how you all feel, and it is a very frightening experience.
We just heard, on the BBC, that two firefighters lost their lives. A real tragedy, and our prayers are with their families.
Yes I did just see that too sufidreamer...it's so sad when someone loses their life like that.
and thanks emievil...I hope so too. I hope they get it contained before anything else happens.
I heard about this and the firefighters. My thoughts and prayers goes out to S. Cali.

Earlier this evening, my daughter went to the ER because she was having terrible stomach cramps. When I arrived, she was in a hospital bed holding a dead baby. It was a perfectly formed, beautiful baby girl, about 10 inches long. I didn't even know she was pregnant. We're all heartbroken. I can't...

In just over a week I'll be having surgery to remove a non malignant mass in my brain. I have no idea as to what the results will be as it is located in a bad spot and removal or size reduction can bring many side effects, including blindness. I've been dealing with a vision loss for a...
