I have friends in Hawaii who've lost their homes. It's good to know that prayers are going out for the victims of this disaster all over the globe! The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars.

We who have so much sometimes forget how ephemeral it all is. We who are getting older don't. I sit and look around my apartment and realize how fortunate I am, wonder how many years I have left. I watched the earthquake live on a Korean tv station my husband and I really enjoy. KBS (Korean broadcasting )does English subtitles. God, just swallowing those cars and boats up like that. Yuchtar was saying on another list that a full moon is coming out, has the effect on the tides, maybe they're in for more quakes or aftershocks. The nuclear plant crisis, too. Mother nature is so damn powerful. That was great, putting the link to places that can help. In that same vein, my husband and I like this http://www.freerice.com/ Charity and improving your vocabulary. My husband always beats me. It's a legit site. IP Logged
