BG - I had a friend in Manchester for awhile who said that Michigan summer weather wasn't much worse than English weather :lol: he said they were eerily similar, in fact; but in the winter we get a ton more snow . He wanted to come visit this summer, but I haven't heard from him in awhile

Haha! I'd love to see Michigan weather then!!

I'd love to have snowy winters but we barely ever get them. But we did get a snow shower on christmas day which was cool.

Ah well, just live with what you got eh?

I know how ya feel! wild fires just suck so bad! I flipped out last night when I was in town and there was a fire crew in a parking lot in front of a local resturant where they always send them to eat during the fires. I actually pulled over and asked the crew where the fires where at.

One of the gals snickered and said "Boy you locals freak everytime you see us! Your about the 20th person to ask." Seems they were training a new crew and just doing brush clearing.

Its not funny though when you've lived in your house for less then a year and almost lost it to wild fires 3 times! :eek: I hate fires!!!

:hug: No, I cannot imagine how horrifying those awful wildfires are for people living out there. We have had the occasional forest fire, but even those are tiny in comparison. I had a friend who went to school at the national Fire Academy and got certified in wildfire fighting. For awhile he nearly had me talked into volunteering out there, but he wanted to do the smoke-jumping stuff, and I'm TERRIFIED of heights :reject: I would've gone if I could've stayed on the ground. Those fire protective tents they use in a fire storm seem kinda flimsy :lol: but I was willing to risk it

Batman is supposed to be soo good! I want to see it! I'm sure I'll end up seeing it on video though as usual. :(

Hi BG! :hug: Sorry i'm all over the place. LOL Trying to feed the kids lunch and post at the same time. :wink:

Three times?! :ohmy: We're close enough to the fires that you can see them at night, but not close enough to worry. Yet. :yikes:

I was actually seriously hoping things would work out with him and I'd be living in Manchester by this Christmas :sigh:

I guess men are the same on every continent... tell you how they love you and then forget you when something younger in a shorter skirt walks by... :wink:

Oh, Man what they do out there! :applaud:
I entered houses on fire without being too scared,
but just the thought of what they face in those wildfires scares me silly. :yes:

We have friends here who are smoke jumpers. Its a really scary job, but they love to do it. Bobby talked about getting into it for a while, but I told him there is no way I would let him do that. And I honestly think his lungs aren't good enough for him to be doing that.

Last summer when I was gone down to LA we were watching the news one night and they did one of those bulletins of stuff that is happening right then. They said there was wildfires in Northern California. Next thing I know they are showing our town on tv! :eek: A minute later they start showing coverage of it and of them evacuating people. Guess whose dumb arse was on the news in the middle of the fire!!! I about had a heart attack when i saw Mr. Cat out there in the middle of it all. He was trying to help friends of our save their house. He had gotten trapped with a few other people and a news crew in the middle of it all. They were wetting down all the houses in this neighborhood with hoses and buckets. Finally smoke jumpers and a crew found them. They saved 4 of the houses and no one got hurt luckily.

:hug: yeah, suppose they are the same on every continent. That's why B moves around a bit, it's to find the place in the world where the men dont look at the younger girl in a short skirt!!

Sorry it didnt work out SG :hug:

If you ever think of moving over to England again...Liverpool is a good place :wink:











Ah heck....lets just all move to Plebaville!

:no: You need to spank him for me for doing that! :lol:
I'm glad he's ok, but what a fright that must've been for you! :yikes:

Someday, I WILL make it over to visit Liverpool at least. I'm a big Beatles Junkie, too. Dublin and Liverpool in the same trip :hyper:

Bird it is quite a problem around here. We've had fires that have burnt down whole towns in a matter of hours. Last summer there is a small town about 10 miles from us that burnt to the ground. It was really sad.

About a 2 months before that happened when we'd lived here less then a month, Mr. Cat called me from work and said that there was a fire some place that he had seen the fire barrigade fly over. So I turn on the tv and sure enough there was a huge fire coming our way. About 30 minutes later a sheriff showed up at my door and told me to get my kids and animals together that we had to leave. He told me that our main road was already blocked so he was going to have to walk us out thru a back road to meet up with a crew that would take us to an evacuation center. Problem was that I was 9 months pregnant on bed rest! None of the cars could make it thru the canyons where we had to go so a neighbor put me on horseback and we went into the canyon and waited out the fire with our neighbors. They were so sweet. They said that if we weren't leaving they weren't leaving either. Luckily they stopped it before it reached our houses.

Jump the seacat to Dublin!! From the docks it's not that dear :wink:

I am in total awe of anyone from Dublin because it's U2's home, but I think I'm privelaged too! The Beatles' home is pretty amazing!

Another great thing is, my great-grandad was the barber on Penny Lane!!
 
SG men are all dogs! and good for nothing! Unless they have money. :wink: I'm starting to think BG is on to something when it comes to Bono.

I think men are all horndogs inside, some are just better at not getting caught drooling. :wink: Mr. Cat is one of those that hides it pretty well. But he can still be a pain in the bum.

That is very cool! :cool:

Edge looks just like the men on the Odell side of my family; and actually, he sounds a lot like My uncle who was a singer, too :lol:
I've really got to figure out a way to prove we're distant cousins :hmm: :shifty:
