I think less than 4% of priests were involved in that. I try not to let that reflect on my feelings about the other 96%.

Anyone else feeling earthquakes in the midwest region. I am literally freaking out. We had one apparently at 4:30 am this morning registering 5.4 on the scale that I didn't feel at all. Slept right thru it. We just had another one a couple of minutes ago (10:15 am) I felt this one. I am shaking. Don't like natural disasters at all. Love the movies, just don't want to live them.

Just hang in there and be strong. I'm glad you're OK.

I just saw an ad for the Dairy Queen Tin Roof Rocky Road Blizzard......now I want one, and we don't have a Dairy Queen anywhere around here....the nearest one is an hour away, and my daily mid-day LOCI fix starts in 6 minutes!

Holy cow! Is it just me, or is there a huge amount of new threads?

Well, I guess so. There are really only 6 or 7 that I play in, so I just look for those and ignore the rest.

I said so because the second page is usually the 'throw away' threads after you get past the 3rd of 4th thread. There were about ten activ topics on the 2nd page, which was kind of weird.

There do seem to be a lot of new threads AGAIN and multiple posters who seem to be ONE person.

Yeah, that is weird. I found the tie clip thread on page 4, and the 100 reasons to ship thread is on page 2.......There are some new members here reading in the back room and digging up dirt.....lol

Harm: You work with the guy Mac! You wouldn't go topless in front of me would you?
Mac: Is that a request?
Harm: You know they wrote Eternity on this bridge in lights on New Years Eve
Mac: Is that how long we're gonna wait?
Harm: Mac.
Mac: We're not in Washington. We're not even on the same continent.
Harm: Location doesn't change who we are.
Mac: Most men would disagree with you.
Harm: I know. I disagree with me sometimes too.

you mean that someone is creating sock puppets?

Thanks. The major one hit in southern Illinois (way south of me) but was felt in 6 states. The 2nd one I felt was just an aftershock. Just, not the word. It was an earthquake in my mind.



You do the same thing I do. I look at about 8 threads and that's all. Ignore the rest.

Seems so to me - I could be wrong but something doesn't feel right, imo.



Be safe -

you were in the earthquake today?

Ironically, today is the 102nd anniversary of the 1906 San Fransico Earthquake.

YIKES!!!!! Hadn't realized that......

Trying to. Thanks



Literally, no but where I live had felt 1 of them and the aftershock of it. The earthquake actually happened down in southeastern IL by the IN border and felt in 6 states then we had an aftershock from that same earthquake almost 6 hours later. Major damage down in the southern part of the state from what I saw on the news but nothing major here. Just chimneys and roofs.



Oh thanks, that makes me feel muuuch better.

YAY for SF!!

i was just there 2 days ago for a Giants game.

You were in SF? You should've told me so we could meet and have a cup of coffee with me

I got to SF pretty often, mostly for Giants games, but sometimes when i have money i go down to the piers. Usually take the ferry in.

Sounds like fun. I love to visit Wharf. That is where I always browse around with friends. Sometimes on cold days brrr

Yee, i always layer up before heading in--but its been nice the past few days. I was impressed.

I'm excited. We close on our house sometime at the end of next week.

Tonight we are going to get some paint swatches and to look at some furniture.

I will try to post some pics of the house as soon as I can.

What do you call a "COLD DAY" in San Francisco.......60 degrees Fahrenheit?

HaHaHa she probably meant last November. She took some friends there for sight-seeing and they were cold. You see, none of them ever brought a heavy jacket

I am happy for ya, jc. Hope everything goes well and you pick out some nice furniture. Looking forward to them pics.

Congrats you two! Have fun. Looking forward to pics as well.

All the best *jc*, I can't wait to see the pictures. I love Victorian houses (that's what you'd said a while back right?) I can imagine you're nervous. I'm doing a refi on my mortage on a house I've lived in most of my life and I'm jumping through hoops, I can't imagine buying a new house!

It ain't just you, *jc.



Yeah, there's two or three who post exactly alike and their sigs even look the same.



Hang in there, cifan! I have seen NO news today, but I'm guessing that quake was on the New Madrid fault then? The strongest quake in what is now the continental U.S. was supposedly on the New Madrid fault, near St Louis, IIRC.



WORD.



Congrats on the house, *jc! Good luck!

First, Diane Neal is leaving SVU, and now Adam Beach? That makes me sadder now

Adam Beach is departing NBC's crime drama "Law & Order: SVU" at the end of the season.

Beach joined Dick Wolf's crime drama last fall under a one-year deal, which had an option for a second. The two sides have decided not to exercise the option.

On "L&O: SVU," from Wolf Films and Universal Media Studios, Beach plays Chester Lake, an SVU detective from Brooklyn.

"I very much enjoyed my year on 'Law & Order: SVU'," Beach said. "Now I'm looking forward to new adventures."

Beach joined "L&O: SVU" on the heels of his starring role in Wolf's Emmy-winning HBO film "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," which earned the actor a Golden Globe nomination.

"Adam is a superb actor," Wolf said. "From the first day I met him on the set of 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,' I was knocked out by his commitment, dedication and total immersion in the film's most crucial role. He did a terrific job this season on 'SVU,' and I look forward to working with him again in the near future."

Beach's departure from "L&O: SVU" follows the news that another regular on the show, veteran Diane Neal, also is exiting the series.

It is understood that Neal's A.D.A. Casey Novak will be replaced with a new A.D.A. character to be introduced next season. Beach's role is not expected to be recast.

Good Luck, JC! Hope to hear from you soon!

I kinda like Chester Lake, but maybe we'll get to see more of Munch next season. I thought Richard Belzer was cutting his hours down tho, and that's why Beach came on board. Hmmm....

I read somewhere that Richard Belzer was as surprised as everyone else that his hours had been cut - maybe they thought they needed a younger, good looking detective to draw in viewers and found out we'd rather Munch.

No, not the New Madrid. Apparently there is another fault line on the eastern side of Illinois called the Wabash fault line. That is where this one was centered. I had no idea.

I'd rather have Munch, he has the funniest lines.



Thanks for the info, cifan! They said some felt it in Chicago, but I didn't feel anything here in northeastern Indiana.

I love the Munch/Fin partnership and when they start bickering like little kids - but Munch is the MAN.

I love it when Munch starts talking about all his ex-wives.

Have you seen his ex-wives before on the original L&O?

Nope, nor on H:LOTS.

I love Munch and his conspiracy theories, too. He's great. And Fin just gets on him and feeds the fire -

Those two are so funny! I'm glad to know they will be partners again! I like his 'You left me for Lake' comment lol

I think Fin is a soft hearted sweetheart with a rough and tough exterior. When Munch got shot in one ep, Fin was so worried about him. But Munch definitely has the best lines and I'll be glad he and Fin will be together again.

Probably about 55, but its because the bay is right there, which is pretty cold. Us california kids are used to warmer weather.

but if you compare a Northern Californian to a Southern Californian, the idea of cold differs.

I was in Southern California in Jan and it was like 65 out at night, and i was like talking about how hot it was, and my friend from SoCal was in a jacket.

its takeing me like 10 mins just to load the board anyone else haveing this problem??

No, It took me a second. I am about to leave the forum so I can start packing for the moving day. Whee Im excited!! How about you? Your camera is ready for your meeting with VDO?

I had that problem last week, which was why i wasnt on much, it took like 10/15 minutes for the page to load. It goes away.

I have a 135 page posting I will be releasing on the SHIP/NOSHIP thread on SUNDAY APRIL 20 so it will probably take 5/10 minutes.

humm weird ... yes i am very ready and EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Series tied 2-2. Game 5......Red Wings ahead 1-0 with 45 seconds left in the third peroid and Preds score to tie 1-1 and then overtime.....where Red Wings score to win 3-2 and lead series 3-2 in games.
