Reno is shaking continueously, there may be a big one here, and one other thing...

Hundreds of quakes and after shocks since Feb 28 continue to shake the ground and the people of Reno NV. We have been told to prepare for a big one since the quakes are getting stronger. Normally the quakes are big followed by small after shocks and eventually diminish. The quakes in Reno have been doing the opposite. One quake cased over 100 aftershocks in a 24 hour period followed by another quake. Not a normal occurrence scientists say. If you'd like to check into it further you can google "Reno earthquakes" and get a load of info.

So, if there is a big one here and I can't get into AW to tell you if I'm all right I'll need a phone number. I'll PM Mac my phone number so in case of an emergency she can try to get a hold of me. I hope it doesn't go further than a few more ground shakes but if it does, I love you dorks!

Now that I've done the hard part of what has to be done I'll go about my life as usual.

I also just found out my favorite uncle is dieing of pancreatic cancer. I'm so bummed. He was the coolest uncle and he was also the uncle I almost shot for saying that I was the cause of my dad molesting me. A few years later he told me that he was also molested and hadn't dealt with it. Without saying the words he was sorry for what he had done, I knew he was sorry and forgave him. I need to write him a letter and that's going to be hard. We have a silent connection and each one knows it and now I have to say goodbye.

Earthquakes I can deal with, this is going to be hard.

I need a hug.

As far as the earthquake thing goes, I was awakened twice in Tennessee with circa 5 point quakes last week. No fun. I've been following the situation in Reno closely and it does look ominous. It's good of you to make arrangements to let us know 'in case.'

As far as writing that letter, I've just had to do something very similar. It's hard to come to that point where you can offer up forgiveness for a wrong done to you--especially on an issue as touchy as this one. Allow me just to say this much: in the end, when all is said and done, you feel better for it, which is a good thing. But for your uncle, it may be the last step to a reconciliation with himself--and doing that for him may be the greatest gift anyone could give him.

Best of luck to you.

That was sweet, thanks.

He was a wrecking ball for our family but our family is dwindling down so we kept him in. Now he's... well... greatful we all still love him.

I meant you guys send me a phone number to call, dorks. I sent Mac my phone and address incase you hear of a quake and don't hear from me.

I have a number though.


And the number I gave Mac is a land line. Probably not a good idea. I'll send her my cell.

Thanks everyone!

We're still on the map!

I've been busy making things, working, and taking the kids to the pool. Lord knows they needed the bath. I have the next few days off and I plan on dorking a lot of people.

So, hugs and smooches!

Dorks.
