8.8 - Magnitude Quake Hits Chile *Merged*

[cocopea9052]

I will make sure to re-read before I post to make sure that the Lord's name is not taken in vain. (Sorry for anyone I offended, not intentional)

:hug Grtful1

I did not take it that way at all, didn't even realize. It was the quote asking for the other shoe to drop that mused me. Hence the saying, "be careful what you ask/wish for"....:lol2

But really, all these highs followed by lows in not only earthquakes, but prophecy, signs, feelings, etc...sometimes it just gets old. I do feel like, come on--lets get this show on the road, but hey...it's not my call to make.

Anyway...it does seem activity is stirring again, but I am pretty use to it by now....it will quiet back down in a day or so....always does.

I'm glad, just don't want to offend anyone.

I feel like I'm a yo-yo on a string, up & down ... thank God Jesus is the string that holds me in place. Time IS getting shorter & shorter as each day passes.

Can't wait to meet my RR family in the clouds :hug

Today’s Sponsor is...

BP, which stands for Beyond Petroleum. It used to stand for British Petroleum, but you yanks didn’t like a limey name on your gas stations so we changed it and you rolled over and went back to sleep.

So far our greatest accomplishment is to set back offshore drilling several decades. But that's OK because we can make you suckers pay for our mistakes by raising the price of our gas.

Why so candid you ask; because we are too big for your government to mess with and besides we own most of your politicians. They mess with us and they lose millions of $$$ that you don’t even know about. It seems that your ethics committees don’t create an ethical environment, they just cover up the unethical machinations of your congress. I mean, just who do you think runs the ethics committees???

So get ready to pay through the nose every time we screw up, it’s the way things work now.

==============================================

It looks like we are just going to keep having a 6.0+ event or two every few days. I looked back in the records and this has been the norm for a few months now.

If not for the 6.0+ events today it would have been pretty normal for what we have been seeing since the beginning of the year. But even the so called experts (X is the unknown quantity and spurt is a drip under pressure) are admitting to what we have been seeing for months.

Looks like Haiti shook a couple of times today. It's be quiet there for a while, hasn't it?

Loved the BP sponsorship!!

I got a good laugh out of this one when I heard it....

OUT OF GAS...

A beekeeper was very in tune with his bees and one day when he tried to start his car it wouldn't start up. As he was standing beside it pondering what to do one of his bees buzzed by his ear and asked what was wrong. The beekeeper explained that he seemed to be out of gas. The bee said he should remove his gas cap and step back a little. As soon as he had the cap off a long line of bees flew over the filler hole and each one paused for a few seconds before flying off back to the hive. After about a half hour of this the bee told his keeper to try to start his car now. To the amazement of the beekeeper it started right up. He asked the head bee what they put in his tank and he replied Bee Pee.:hehee

[cocopea9052]

Yogi, I think BP has unwittingly just given comics and everyone lots of new material.....:lol2

Jokes aside though, I really hope they act responsible and get the oil cleaned up no matter the cost.

WOW - What a quiet day after the two 6.0+ events yesterday. We dropped most of the long list of locations with the only ones left being the U. S. & Alaska, Baja/SoCal, and Chile. We did pick up two new locations in the single event catagory, Tonga and the Solomon Islands. And for the first time since I have been posting these updates all the change stats are minus, nothing increased at all. I wonder if that means pressure is building somewhere for another big one????

Yogi, I think BP has unwittingly just given comics and everyone lots of new material.....:lol2

Jokes aside though, I really hope they act responsible and get the oil cleaned up no matter the cost.

Oh they aren't worried about the cost, we are already paying for it. I just got a case of "sticker shock" when I passed the gas station and saw how much gas just went up in the last two days. Actually the B P humor piece I did yesterday wasn't so much funny as it was fact.

Well, now I did say things would go back quiet in a day or two....and I don't want to say the "quiet before the storm"....but we shall see....

Thanks for the update...and I hope you enjoyed your time with your wife. And BTW, please don't apologize for any late postings or if you don't make one....we appreciate so what you are doing-- and while we look for it and enjoy it, we don't expect it. We know you have a life!!!!
