Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

She woke up this morning in so much pain that she was crying. :( This young lady never cries over pain so I knew she was hurting bad. She's doing better now. I think it was from going all night without a pain pill. We won't let that happen again tonight. Gonna set an alarm for the middle of the night so she can take one.

Nanny's 80th birthday is tomorrow and my aunt is having a little party for her, but my aunt lives about 45 minutes away. I'm gonna have to miss it. I don't feel right leaving Mini alone for several hours. She still needs help with everything, even sitting up from a laying down position.

Hi TB! I agree, visiting those sites is very sobering and humbling. A few years ago we visited the Netherlands American Cemetery at Margraten in Limburg (Southern Netherlands), with over 8,200 graves of American soldiers who were killed in WW II. Very impressive. It makes you total silent to see that.

And the Berlin Wall, 9 November 1989. Already almst 32 years ago. Coincidence or not, this morning I talked to an inland vessel skipper, who hauled cargo across the European rivers with his ship. And he mentioned going to Eastern Germany before the wall fell and how it was such a complete different world, almost from light to dark, with soldiers pointing machine guns at them, searching his cargo for refugees. Very aggressive. And all of that changed almost overnight when the wall fell. It makes you even more aware of what control and oppression can do with people.

I've been to Berlin a few times over the past decades. Still could see the difference between the light and bright Western side and the grey Eastern side. Hardly anything left of that Wall now, besides a museum, if that is still there.

And even though I know we live in challenging times, let's just hope and pray that we never ever end up in dark times like that again. Appreciate life and stick together. Division will get us no where..

Aww, poor kid. Glad the pain medicine has lessened the pain. Hope she can get comfortable and relax.

I never had the chance to go to Berlin. Partly because of timing, mostly because of finances and lack of German language. I do have a piece of the wall that a friend brought back just after the fall.

I agree with you about the times. It's always amazed me, not in a good way, how inhuman we can be to each other. It makes me sad. I know these things have been happening since time began, but I will never understand the minds that continue with evil and hate.

I hope we never see it again, but I know we will.

Enjoy your weekend, Mezzo. So much I miss about Holland.

EDIT: DOWNGRADED TO 4.0

Ok, good to see you have birds since you are just a state north of me. Maybe they have better things to do this morning here.

I have some yard bunnies too and there was a new baby about 4 weeks ago but I haven't seen it since. I sure hope he/she made it. I also haven't seen the parents as much, but over time I've seen this happen before. They disappear and I worry they've moved or are dead and then all the sudden they pop up again.

Sorry you feel so crappy. This calls for carbs! lol

Do you have hawks? We have a lot of rabbits in our yard, several only a few weeks old. The hawks have been on the prowl. I know when to look for them as it gets dead quiet, even the bunnies are gone.

The stupid hawks also like to leave carcasses behind....like they dropped them and didn't come back for them.

Yes, there are hawks around here. I've only seen one in my yard once, but I see them flying around all the time. Never found a carcass thank god. But this could be a factor as well. Who knows. It's still quiet out there though. The only critter I've seen today are the hummingbirds. They are always around, even when the other birds disappear.

Aww, poor kid. Glad the pain medicine has lessened the pain. Hope she can get comfortable and relax.

Poor Mini. That surgery was quite invasive of course and it takes time to heal. Hope she feels better soon Sim. She's a real trooper!

And Happy Birthday to nanny. Pity you can't go, but I am sure you'll find a moment to celebrate with her shortly as well.
