Ridgecrest is south of Independence by about 100 miles. My mother said she lost some glassware and a couple of pictures fell off the wall. It's been impossible to get through on the cell -- too much emergency traffic. My brother (volunteer firefighter) was called in shut off gas and make public welfare checks in Ridgecrest. In LA, there's no damage in our neighborhood, but some localized power outages in town. A 6+ earthquake is a big scare. Edited July 5, 2019 by Cupid Stunt 13 Link to comment

Mimsy doesn't have any tuxedo on her, but when she rolls over and you see her belly, it's fantastical - she's creamy beige colored there with both leopard spots AND tiger stripes. I don't have a picture of her belly - as you know, Torties have a mind of their own! They're 4 years old now. We had only ever had one cat at a time, and were devastated when we lost our 19 year old tortie, Maisy. We swore we weren't ever going to get another cat, and three months later, ended up with these two who were born to a cat that was hanging out in my close friend's backyard. Here they are about three or four weeks old in their crate with their momma. I love this picture of the three of them! We weren't quite sure what Merlin, in the foreground) was going to look like as he got older. He had coarse hair as a baby (we also thought he was a female) and just turned into the silkiest, black cat with the most laid back personality!

We stayed in Malibu a long time ago (the 80s) at a lovely motel which is no longer there, but it was the only way to access the beach. Access was cut off to the public because all of those beach homes were owned by celebs and/or other wealthy people. So this is interesting to me. In Hawaii all State beaches, except those on military bases, must be accessible to the public. So even you are staying in a gated upscale property, or a high end hotel, there must be public parking and access. Most tourists don't realize this, of course, but it makes it accessible to the locals who rightly should be able to access any beach. We get a lot of celebrities who want the beach in front of their hotel to be changed to private. Haha! Not today, JLo.

OhioSongbird July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 I was a faithful AMC & OLTL fan till......R.I.P. *sob*. I remember Echo well. That was a hoot. You could see Robin Strasser and Kim Zimmer were having a blast. That was back when soaps were good. I can kinda remember GL. Mom watched all the CBS soaps when I was a kid. When I came of age and was home on maternity leave everybody in the office I worked at at the time (30 women) were hooked on AMC/OLTL and I would watch and call in everyday to give them a recap. Good times. I loved them till they went off the air. 11 Link to comment

And Nick Cave...ah, I remember PLL's Nick Cave years... I parodied the hell out of some of his songs. Speaking of Nick Cave, one of my favorite scenes in the Harry Potter films was in TDH1, when Hermoine and Harry danced to O Children. Quote Can I please have the dip recipe too? Oops, sorry I disappeared on y'all, my son dropped by. Onion Dip Equal parts cream cheese/sour cream Finely chopped sweet onion Chopped green onion Chives if you have them Two heaping teaspoons celery seed Teaspoon minced garlic Tablespoon parsley Salt and pepper to taste Now, I never really had this recipe written down, I made it the first time from memory and I adjust it it every time I make it. You may add more or less of any of the ingredients as you wish but the celery seed is a must. I usually serve it with Ruffles because it is so thick. OhioSongbird, I believe, serves it with Ritz among other things. 9 Link to comment
