    • Interests

      I love my family especially those grandkids.I also love photography and scrapbooking.I do a little freelance photography which is what I would love to do instead of my transportation job.I do computer work and payroll work in a dispatch office for one of the biggest companies in the world, working with the transportation fleet.I love my work but sometimes it gets overwhelming when I don't have concentration.

      Nope, no snow yet but it's been raining a lot! I used one of those patches once on my shoulder and I got a bad rash, guess I'm allergic to whatever is in it! Yeah, I've been having a lot of pain too in my lower back and legs, keeps me awake sometimes, It's probably my Arthritis. I've been sticking close to home......Hope your back gets better soon!

    • Chicken Soup

      From loreleii29 October 12

      We don't get typhoons, just the residuals of broken down hurricanes or a major typhoon. They had a massive earthquake in this area years back when I lived out of state but it could happen again. CA is full of fault lines. I have felt one or 2 quakes, but was nothing more than a jolt, just enough to feel. Our major weather systems here are either very strong rainstorms with thunder & lightening or very strong "highs" which give us endless days of extreme heat. Rather kind of boring. Hardly have cold enough nights to turn the trees, sometimes it does but a very short time period. Most Halloweens around here can be done just in long sleeves etc. This year Anjy will be off that night so she can take the kidlet around to collect her candy or maybe to an N/A party. Last night she took the kid to a n/a dinner and Savannah won the raffle...LOl it was a free plate of the dinner they had. Anjy was glad for that but Savannah was just thrilled wither her name being drawn.....she didn't care what she won, just that she WON! You have a good week too, should go out and help Bill get the place ready for the storm, but then he never helps me inside so maybe I will just go wash dishes or something. Take care
