Sarasara. Someone said sariroo is in Japan as well, which I wasn't aware of.

She wasn't in Japan for a while, so I'm not top sure if she came back. I really hope she's safe.

We have 4 Jamaicans not accounted for.

They have extend the evac area from 3 miles to 10. Tsunami warnings are still in effect.

Saria, sometime over the weekend

Please let us know if your friends and/or compatriots are okay when you hear.

They have decided to start releasing air from the reactors because of the rise in temps and it's cooling fast enough. The air will be filtered to release all radioactive material.

Sorry for the piecemeal posts, I'm on my phone.

I can imagine what a shock this must be for sarasara, was in Tokyo and they felt the quake quite a bit. I mean, I'm about 300 miles from where it happened and I felt it. The insurer in me kicked in when I saw the cars being washed away and all I could saw was "fudge."

Thank you.

I am so grateful.

Thank you.

This is part of a review written by someone who mentions she's an English teacher:

It's like, let's see how many Dominican American's we can alienate by using as many big words as possible.

I have lost my faith in best-sellers, a long time ago, and now, especially in Pulitizer Prizes.

Better look next time

Le sigh.
Also, b*tch what are you implying with that comment about alienating Dominican readers with "big words"? Aw hell no!

ninja dog · 03-12-2011, 08:38 AM

Clearly she's unfamiliar with the glorious vocabulary of La Saria.

The dope.

Why were you wearing a blanket in the supermarket?

Also:

I feel like I'm standing on the edge of an abyss and the next thing that goes wrong is going to push me over the edge. I think I have so much on my plate at the moment I don't know which way to turn with out falling into this big gaping black hole.

ninja dog · 03-12-2011, 10:23 AM

I've felt like that before, cl. Like I was hanging on to the dirt walls of a deep trench with my claws.

I hope things get better.

I'm glad I'm not alone having this feeling. How long did it take for you to feel better?

ninja dog · 03-12-2011, 03:11 PM

Well, it was a while ago, and related to some specific areas and goals in my life. I made a bunch of changes, and started seeing a good therapist, and eventually, I lost that particular feeling. Or rather, I climbed and clawed out of the abyss.

Of course, there have been many other times when life feels just so effing hard.....but I try to remind myself that I made it out of that mess, and it was BIG.

(Of course, I still get depressed and upset regardless, but that period in my life was one of the darkest. I hadn't finished school; I hated where I lived; I was just starting to work with/for lawyers; I felt --- and was --- pretty much alone. I had my first dog ((as an adult), and a pet turtle, and the three of us would huddle in bed, in a bedroom so cold you could see your breath on frigid nights.)

Hard times.

HTH, cl.

Being without my hubby and kids all day today was nice, but made me realize how much my life revolves around them.

The New Black · 03-12-2011, 08:25 PM

merde!

nikske · 03-13-2011, 01:53 AM

Why do people feel like they've done something real when they profess to pray???

Honestly, I'd love to slap those people on FB and Twitter who are praying for the people in Japan. It's so easy to feel good about yourself, as if you've accomplished something without actually doing anything.

If someone really wants to help, donate to those in need.

Two hands working accomplish more than a million clasped in prayer.

Curlyminx · 03-13-2011, 03:09 AM

I can't believe you are mad at me. And over what? I have no idea.

Ok. Maybe not NO idea, but the idea I have is so ridiculous, it couldn't possibly be true. That is crazy.

And that you are so hard headed that you are STILL acting like that.

I hope your head softens up in your sleep because this is annoying.

curlylaura · 03-13-2011, 07:48 AM

£60 bought me next to no food today. But I have cleared out my cupboards so I can make all sorts of stuff with the pitiful amount of food I bought today.

Saria · 03-13-2011, 09:41 AM

Thanks, ninja. It's just that I don't see why one would have to specify one group of readers. I can think of plenty of readers, and they're not Dominican or even Hispanic, whose vocabulary is severely limited. Kids in general are struggling with reading and writing.

They just had this huge 800-pound pig on a show I'm watching. It was adorable. I totally want to pet it!

AllyT · 03-13-2011, 01:57 PM

I dreamed I was shopping for cowboy boots last night, and I woke up with an insatiable (very out of character) interest in plaid shirts and jeans. What in the heck? I stopped the melatonin - I shouldn't still be having nightmares.

Thanks for typing that Ninja. I'm just imaging a turtle in a bed.

I'm glad you got out of that situation though. I'm hoping to get an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow because I need a medication review. I'm going to mention this feeling to him.

I want to go and play in the snow tomorrow but I'm too poor until I get paid on Tuesday. I'm currently so underfunded I had to use my credit card to buy food. Stupid increase in car tax and MOT earlier this month!

Lol! Not to make light, but that sounds like me today, except it's my cat instead of a dog and turtle, and I HAVE finished school.

Curlylaura, you hang in there. We are going to be here turning 30 together, remember?
