That's my green contribution lol.
I did it. I'm 23% Swedish, which I didn't know before. Other than that all UK. But not Irish, which was also a surprise!svca wrote:Good thing I'm not Irish (I don't think)....
ETA: Speaking of being Irish, or not...has anybody done one of those ancestry things, to find out where you come from? My ex-mother-in-law is really into the family trees, etc., and she wants me and the kids to do one. I sort of don't really care, but I'm also sort of curious.
Anybody done them and found anything interesting?

I don't know if any of you remember me talking about my sweet little dog Buddy at all, but he passed away this afternoon. I miss him so much already & I'm trying to figure out how life's going to be without him.Thank you in advance.
I don't know how you guys do it. I wouldn't know what to do either, if we had anything bigger than that. We NEVER get them here, ever, and if we do, we barely feel them (they're usually only a 2.0 when they come here), but this one shook pretty good. I felt vibrations through my entire body, and it sounded like thunder that wouldn't stop.svca wrote:Yikes, glad you guys are ok, Paula....that's a pretty good earthquate at 4.1....you can definitely feel that.
I don't always feel them during the day, but I hate when they happen at night....I never know if I should be dashing downstairs and out the door, or just roll over and go back to sleep. We get quite a few of them here in Cali.
My uncle actually lived in San Fran when that earthquake happened. I remember him describing watching the walls crack open and then come back together. I can't even imagine how you guys did it. I'm really hoping that you guys don't have to go through another one for a VERY long time.svca wrote:I think after going through the '89 earthquake (with a baby and a toddler) the small ones don't seem that scary anymore. Not to say, they don't give you pause, but it puts them into perspective.
Of course, there's always that moment where your heart is pounding while you're waiting to see if it's going to stop or pick up speed.
I just read somewhere that Cali of way overdue for another "big" one.![]()
