  1. This may have been on the national news, but here is the local news on the airplane that crashed into a house shortly after takeoff from local airshow on it's way home to California. It was fully loaded with fuel for the trip, so burned the house it landed on completey, and also at least three neighboring houses were partially burned too and what is left of them is drenched in jet fuel. Thankfully there was no one on the ground injured although alot of scared neighbors. The lady that owned the house the plane usually was in the house as she even worked from home and said very possibly she woul
  2. Bearskin beat me to the punch with this thread. I was planning on asking about Chappy later this week myself. Great minds think alike? Ha! Old saying of my mother's! I have been worried about not seeing him around anywhere too. Sure hope he shows up and is ok. I miss him!!! Though come to think about it, some board I was checking out for something or other awhile back I did see a Chappy or Chappy1 screen name but the posts didn't seem like our Chappy. So don't know if it was him or not, though didn't think so at the time I saw them. Can't remember where I was either. I'll look around this w

  6. Nope! We seldom get such violent lightening storms as those depicted in Barb's pictures on the Western side of the Cascade mountains of Washington and Oregon, but the Eastern side regularly does. Though the last couple of years we have had more than the usual number of electrical storms around here, and they can be as deadly as anywhere else. No matter how intense they are I still hate them!!! Pat God bless everyone
  7. Congratulations TK on your new love!!! I am so happy for you my friend!!! I pray that God will bless you both in your upcoming marriage, with a lifetime of happiness and love for each other!!! Pat God bless everyone
  8. Forget the dogs crawling up in someone's lap, that is what I would be doing with a severe storm like that one, or under the bed like I did as a kid!!! Yowie that looks so scary!!! I sure hope we don't ever have lightening that bad here!!! If we did, I'd be Pat God bless everyone

  12. Nice to see the update on the little one, he's really a cutie! Happy birthday to him from me too. Don't forget a color matching helmet to go with that nice looking set of wheels to keep him safe, though everyone else around him will be on their own to outwit and out-maneuver him! Glad to see you back on board tictoc! Pat God bless everyone
  13. Hi Liz, Glad your son liked the story and links! Watch out that he doesn't try to hobble around with a fake wooden leg, a patch on his eye, and a parrot on his shoulder... after all that pirate stuff. Never can tell what this area will come up with next....the state motto used to be something like "Things look different here" which is sooooo true!!! Pat God bless everyone
  14. This story is for those of you (and you know who you are!) who like the pirate image! Enjoy! From today's Oregonian, so it wont last long on their website. A fine port fer a pirate And here's a copy of the fact sheet for more pirate stuff. Quote: Maniacal about the piratical Friday, July 07, 2006 Want to get your pirate on? Here are a few places to look: www.boggandsalty.com: Official Web site for Captain Bogg & Salty, Portland's favorite "buccaneer rock band for pirates of all ages." www.boompirates.com: Web headquarters for the Brotherhood of Oceanic Mercenaries, aka B.O.O.M., whose s
  15. Have a great safe trip! I didn't realize you were so far north of Vancouver! I love all the parts of BC I have seen so far, which unfortunately isn't as much as I would like to see someday! (though a one time walk on the Capilano swinging bridge is enough for one lifetime I think!!!) Just have been part way up Vancouver Island and up the Sunshine Coast a bit on the mainland. And that was only a couple of short trips many years ago. The Canadian people that we met were so friendly and helpful!!! If we only had more time and money to go places!!! Sigh!!! Pat God bless everyone
  16. As far as I know CompUSA and Frys aren't connected. CompUSA bought out Good Guys awhile back. Frys Electronics is owned by Krogers (which owns our local Fred Meyer stores) I just read. Have only been to the local Frys (way across metro area from me) once. Very large selection of computer hardware and software, some appliances large and small, plus other stuff. Seemed to have very good prices on what I looked at. Bought my F-Secure Internet Security Suite from them with what seemed like a good net cost after rebates but still waiting for them to arrive about three months now even after a coupl
  17. 90% right. Missed the one about who has power to declare war, I knew it was the wrong answer as I thought about it more, and should have gone back and changed it before I submitted it...sigh! Pat God bless everyone
  18. Glad you liked the story Liz! I wonder what he will be like in say 20 or 30 years as he keeps on growing and developing his great talent? Pat God bless everyone
  19. Happy Birthday TT May you be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Pat God bless everyone
  20. Bottom of the page on the Forum index, below the statistics section. For what it's worth, I'm not to crazy about having my special email name shown there as I considered that a private email addy when I signed up!!! Luckily only hubby and I have access to this computer so even if I forget to log out no one but us will see it. But definitely wouldn't like it showing publicly if other people had access to the computer. Pat God bless everyone
