With all this talk about "unity" im starting to get a little anxious. and the time is near (12-23-2012) according to the bible code as well as the mayan calendar, coincidence i think not. the signs are out there people start reading the bible. Apacolypse/ judgement day/ end of the world/ ragnorok is near.

I can picture both candidates eyes glowing like a gou’ald. and for all u narrow minded skeptics out there the bible code predicted 9/11 "twin towers burning" by specific date, Yitzhak Rabin assassination. and many other things including "the big one" referring to a great earthquake in 2010.

i suggest u do everything u wanted to accomplish in your life within the next 4 years.

why oh why did it have to end this way?

look on the bright side at least we get to see jesus

Las tomas de Haiti que nos mostraron después del terremoto no fueron plesentes de ver. (Vocabulary word: La toma (shot, as in picture)) [what I'm trying to say: The shots we were shown of Haiti after the earthquake were not pleasant to see.]

Hay muchas instalaciones que [were destroyed]. (Vocabulary word: instalaciones (buildings)) [There were a lot of buildings that were destroyed]

Aunque yo no estoy en el país, puedo imaginar cuantas gotitas los [Haitians] tenían por el dolor del perdimiento no solo unos de los miembros de sus familias pero perdiendo casi todos de sus [belongings] también. (Vocab words: gotitas, dolor) [Even though i'm not in the country, I can imagine how many tears the Haitians have because of the pain of losing not only members of their families but losing almost all of their belongings/property as well.]

Si Ud. tiene [extra] ropa o comida que puede enviar a la gente de Haiti, envíelas. [I can only imagine] la desespera que ellos están [going through]. (Vocab: la desespera) [If you have extra clothes or food to give to the people of Haiti, (please) send them. I can only imagine the distress that they're going through.]

Also, how do you use the following words in sentences?

3.meter (to go in)
4. los saqueos (raids)

thank you!

Another major earthquake struck Chile early this morning and it has a presumably rising death toll.
We all know about the unfortunate one in Haiti as well.
Though I live in the states, I live in California, and we are expected to get a big one sometime in the next couple of years.
What are some safety rules to go by to keep family and maybe even pets safe?
How do you make yourself stay calm when an 8.8 hits?
Where exactly are you supposed to go when an earthquake does hit?

Untitled

The mystery man I could not see
When I awoke in sweat and glee
I looked around, where was he
In the cotton did not sit
The fields of gold were not him
The tulips flowered but were tired
Couldn’t tell me either

Wandered far into the east
Emerald stones were but alone
For his presence was not shown
Wise men told me, at beauty morning
As I watched a holy dawning
Told me of a story written
A most intricate of scripture
Couldn’t paint his picture

Still I pressed and searched the land
Pushed the dust off buried sand
Underneath the earthquake rubble
I heard a cry – a faintest try
Was too late for it had died
Water swelled and people drowned

Now the trees have shed their bark
And as I gaze into the dark
I can’t see the man – I try
If I see him any day
I will tell him go away

To the first answerer, yes it was. It was meant to convey a duality that is ironical.

There was an earthquake in Haiti, then (last night) there was one in Chili. Are we next in line?

(2/27/10)…Pat Robertson today argued that the 8.8 magnitude of the earthquake that struck Chile early this morning should serve as a warning to the population that “God is even angrier with them than he is with the people of Haiti.”

So is he better as
…an evangelist
…a seismologist
…a new hybrid of evangelism and seismology?

My son’s birthday is tomorrow, for his birthday, he got an electronic wolverine claw (look it up at target if you must). The claw retracts the plastic blades. It’s a cool toy.

However, my son is repeating things he hears wolverine say: "I’m going to slice you up"…or something of that nature.

I told him that it’s not a nice thing to say, and that if he is going to have "big boy toys" He has to play with them nicely.

This is all beside the point really. The point is that when I said that, he FLIPPED OUT and threw the stupid toy at our television.

There is an eensy-weensy speck chip in it. About the size of a large needle, or ball point pen point.

There are rainbow colors coming out of it on the screen and it looks shattered, even though the screen is still smooth.

The picture on the screen is distorted– there really is no picture, only color and about 1/8 of the screen is little rainbow lines.

My question:

Is there any way to fix this myself?

I called samsung, its not covered under warrenty because it’s physical damage. I can always call them back and lie and say there was an earthquake, but thats not like me.

I called the TV repair places and they say for an LCD screen, it will cost upwards of 00 to repair/replace, and that I might as well get a new TV.

Yea. Right. I just got this TV in September….

I had a LONG talk with my son about his behavior and his temper, he had a long time out and now he’s cleaning his toys. I don’t hit him but I feel like throwing him across the room….

WHAT DO I DO?????

I’m personally afraid of what’s happening now, Haiti’s earthquake, Chile’s earthquake I don’t know what’s going to happen next, i know I’m not suppose to know, but what if it gets worse, I’m really worried about how the earth is behaving and now because of the latest earthquake the days are shorter, and the 2012 is closer and everything is so connected do you think that maybe the end of our world is actually coming closer? Just tell me your opinion, and no mean comments :) Thanks!

I have some concerns about moving to Florida, because of all of the natural disasters that’s been going on lately..

Do you think Florida can be hit by a tsunami or a earthquake or any other major natural disasters?

I am aware of the hurricanes, but usually they give you a head-sup on those. I am talking about disaster that people can’t "predict" hitting a certain area 100% and that will just hit without no time of warning that could help people escape?!

This website is supposed to be all about predicting events that will happen in the future. It supposedly predicted the events on Sept.11th and Hurricane Katrina and few others that have come true.

The latest prediction is that there will be global devestation in late Dec.2012. Here is part of the article :

Throughout its short existence, the Web Bot has accurately predicted many other natural and man made disasters such as the 2001 anthrax attack on Washington DC, the East Coast power outage in 2003 and the earthquake which lead to the December 26 2004 tsunami. It is even credited with predicting hurricane Katrina and the devastating events that followed. In addition, the Web Bot has foretold of a global devastating event expected to take place in late December 2012.

Is anyone familiar with this site and what do you think of the 2012 prediction?? That really has me freaked out thinking the world may come to an end then. Should I not believe it or is there some truth to it?

A friend of mine told about this WebSite…I had no idea of this whole 2012 thing before she mentioned it. And I also have no idea who Art Bell is.

I have a cousin living there and it makes me nervous. I get worried about him.

San Andreas Fault is so dangerous and Cali is way overdue for an earthquake.

I am in NYC and we don’t get earthquakes here. I have been in an earthquake once in my life and this was in Azerbaijan. (google it)

Aren’t you guys afraid? How can you live in Cali?

(and no I am not dissing cali, Im sure its beautiful)

Three women are about to be executed. One’s a brunette, one’s a redhead, and one’s a blond. Two guards brings the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.

She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape. The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.

She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution. By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.

She also says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."
The blond shouts, "fire!!"

Ok, so if you havent already heard we had a 5.4 earthquake now most parents and people (cuz of being stupid or know it alls) think that you dont need to prepare at all or know anythin about what to do durin an earthquake. i was home with my sis and my dog and this was the first bigger earthquake that has struck our house since i was little and i got scared. i dont want stupid answers but im wondering what is the safety thing to do when it does happen because there has become a debate about whether doorways r safer or ducking under a sturdy table is safer or sitting in your bed with a blanket covering you is safer or running outside to a clear opening is safer or even if crouching near an "interior" wall and covering is safer. What do you guys think especially if you have lived through some bad/big earthquakes? is a preparedness kit neccesary since some people say it isnt? and what is an example of an interior wall? and what if you live in a 2story house with the bedrooms on the 2nd fl?

I know that there a lot of earthquakes that cannot be felt because they are too small, but has there been a sudden increase in earthquakes in California? I was in Glendale on Friday, and I felt the earthquake, some slight shaking, nothing too big, but every time I turn on the news it’s "earthquake after earthquake after earthquake". Within the past two weeks when I watch the news, there has always been some sort of earthquake being reported in California or within close proximity of California. What does this mean? Is this normal?

This past winter, I got married to a Chinese man in Shanghai. His immediate family lives in Sichuan and, according to him, they had no money (even before the earthquake). Therefore, despite the tradition that says that his family was responsible for everything related to the wedding, my family ended up shelling the money out. Also, we came to an agreement that the wedding would be in Shanghai because we met there and also because of the extensive damage from the earthquake.

His mother arrived a week before the wedding and everything went South from there. She looked at me like I was a leper when I first met her at the airport and absolutely hated it when her son even talked to me while she was in the room. She would literally talk over me whenever I said something and wouldn’t even look a me if she could help it. Of course, when she wanted me to buy something, I was expected to shell out for it.

I think the kicker came when we went to buy the rings. She and another relative came with us. I bought mine, and when it came time for my husband to choose his, she intervened and chose one of the most expensive ones in the case for him. Of course, he folded and went with it. Then she proceeded to buy herself a ring that cost more than mine. Remember, my family had had to pay for the wedding because she supposedly had no money. Then, the night before the wedding, she threw a very theatrical crying fit that really made the other relatives angry with her.

On the day of the wedding, she skipped the tea ceremony that was held at a relative’s house. Luckily, we were able to improvise and it went beautifully. Then, at the banquet, she showed up late, refused to bless or even look at us, and left early. She refused to bless us in front of all of our guests, and the videographer mercifully cut this out of the wedding video.

The next day, my oh-so-loving husband took the red envelope money his relatives had given us along with about 1,000 RMB from my purse and went on a nine-hour shopping spree with her and without me.

He’s going in for his visa interview in three weeks. Once his mother was out of the picture, everything was fine. However, this continues to bother me and I am really starting to question whether or not I should go through with this. Was this normal? Another thing is that I’m American but not white or Asian (I’m a Pacific Islander) and some of my friends have been suggesting that that might have been a factor. Either way, it just really worries me that I became garbage/an ATM while she was there and I wonder what he’s going to do when he comes to America.

What would you do in this situation?

Also, which one do you like best?

1. Three women are about to be executed. One’’s a brunette, one’’s a redhead, and one’’s a blonde. The guard brings the brunette forward and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready! Aim!"
Suddenly the brunette yells, "EARTHQUAKE!!!"
Everyone is startled and throws themselves on the ground while she escapes.
The guard brings the redhead forward and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She say no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready! Aim!"
Suddenly the redhead yells, "TORNADO!!!"
Everyone is startled and looks around for cover while she escapes.
By now the blonde has it all figured out. The guard brings her forward and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready! Aim!"
And the blonde yells, "FIRE!!!"

2. There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in.
The first man in line started telling his story, "Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn’t find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn thing by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating him with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn’t kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and threw it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am."
The next man came up and started his story. "St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my bike one day and I fell off when it flipped. I sailed over the rail and I thought "Please God spare my life" and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I’m here now because the guy threw his refrigerator on top of me."
It was now the third guy’s turn to start his story. "Well, Peter, just picture this. I’m hiding butt naked in this married chick’s refrigerator….."

3. One day a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw a guy eating grass He told the driver to stop. He got out and asked him, "Why are you eating grass".
The man replied, "I’m so poor, I can”t afford a thing to eat."
So the layer said, "Poor guy, come back to my house."
The guys then said, "But I have a wife and three kids." The lawyer told him to bring them along.
When they were all in the car, the poor man said, "Thanks for taking us back to your house, it is so kind of you."
The layer said, "You”re going to love it there, the grass is a foot tall."
J-la! You did not tell me the first one!
