Glad you're goning to be ok. My weight has settled a bit but I'm putting on muscle finally so this has plenty to do with it. I'm about 69kgs and holding but I suspect another dip any time soon....meh! At least my labs are looking good so far!

RIP Mickie aka Happychick. You will be missed deeply.
No, no, no.
Some of you folks are still going to be raptured up in October. According to Camping (when the world didn't go *poof* last time) :
"On May 21, this last weekend, this is where the spiritual aspect of it really comes through. God again brought judgment on the world. We didn’t see any difference but God brought Judgment Day to bear upon the whole world. The whole world is under Judgment Day and it will continue right up until Oct. 21, 2011 and by that time the whole world will be destroyed," he proclaimed.
So we still have (queue music for Final Jeopardy) Final Rapture scheduled for October 21.
I'm planning on making these for a select few of my buddies since we will have yet another "Its the end of the world as we know it" party.

Damn! If I'd known you were also a dirt worshipping tree lover, I'd have made a trip over to Santa Cruz to meet you!
Part of me actually hopes the Rapture does happen (less the suffering of those left behind) because that way the earth might get a chance to start healing herself before we have completely ruined her.

I look upon the predictions of suffering with an indulgent eye; what is pain to someone
who lives in fear their entire lives probably won't bother me at all!
As far as Mother Earth is concerned, I just remember what the writer who posited the
Gaia Theory said: "Mother Nature bats cleanup"
The human population of this glorious orb may be expanding like a metastasizing cancer,
but as Ed Abby said "...that is a recipe for extinction" While I will regret seeing the beauty
of this world destroyed for my children and friends, I know that which will replace this age
will be just as wild, weird, and wonderful, in a few million years.
I studied Environmental Sciences at UC Santa Cruz; one of my climate classes had an
Excel program which tracked the rate of absorbtion of CO2 which needed to be done in
order to return our atmosphere to it's pre-Industrial Age levels. At a given rate (which I
can't remember right now, sadly) if we do not put another scintilla of CO2 into the
atmosphere, the proper level will not return for more than 500 years. I don't know about
you, but I don't think humanity canhold their breath that long.
What would I do to change things now?
1) Plant trees. Every tree planted absorbs TONS of CO2 and produces the very O2
we breathe
2) Everything possible should be put into solar electrical production. No copper wiring
from Point A to Point B, it's a waste of a minera resourcel. Install solar producers on
every rooftop of every house and business. Just the fact that 70% of the energy
produced is required to produce the electricity that is consumed will make an enormous
difference..
3) People who can should be using bicycles to go to and from work. There is a place
for the automobile, but not at the expense of every living creature on Earth. I have a lovely
little Honda Hybrid which gets 38 mpg, and that's about 4 to 5 times what most cars get
today.
4) Explore the engineering needed to apply sailpower to cargo vessels. By reducing
the need for energy used to propel these behemoth vessels even by 10% would be an
enormous fuel savings.
Well, off my soapbox now....
I wish I were still in Santa Cruz, it would have been fun to get to know you, but now I'm
living among the ultra-conservatives in NW Florida. It's kind of like being an undercover
agent in the Third Reich!! A Third Reich with bugs and humidity!!

Thanks for the laughs & the advice, it's become a hell of a ride around here. It's a sunny but humid day and the locals have cleared out every supermarket and hardware store. Stop & Shop looked like it had been attacked by locusts!
I am in northern, coastal NJ and I'm supposed to work tomorrow in Rockland County, NY. The entire area is under a hurricane warning. I've never before heard anyone say that the NYC subway would come to a halt. Even our piddly light rail will stop at 6PM tomorrow.
Instead of going home tomorrow, I'm heading into Westchester to stay with a friend. It'll be better than trying to get back home. I just hope they don't decide to close the Tappan Zee bridge before I can get out of work!
The earthquake was fun. My library has some construction going on, and I thought it was caused by them. Then I realized that there weren't any sounds of heavy machinery, so I checked outside. One little Hispanic dude with a pick axe couldn't have caused that tremor, so I did what everyone else did - I checked twitter.

Thank God I will have had my DS by the 21st of October. Hopefully I will be down a few pounds before the rapture! Might as well look my best for the end of the world!
Lets see Kirmy baby, we've had an earthquake. My bed moved, I slept thru it. Thought it was the dog bumping against the thing. Poor puppy spent most of the morning staring at the wall in the corner, she knew before anyone knew, something was a foot.
I'm mostly worried about power outages and trees fallling in my town. We've got a park right at my corner and they say we're gonna get 10 inches of rain. Flooding and high winds.
Trying to figure out how to get the dog to do her buisness in between rain drops on Sunday. Luckily she doesn't freak during storms.
Just love your posts!!!
