I'd like to see them go back to either Perfume (my favorite) or Carmen. I think their current FD just isn't special enough.

Me!

I have my ticket, but I had to switch to my husband's desktop computer because for some weird reason my laptop screen wouldn't take me to the next step after selecting my seat. I suspect it was operator error as I'm not as comfortable with the touch pad as I am a mouse. And I couldn't get my...

:lynch: L'enfer for one. :p

I'm not particularly impressed by either of Torgashev's programs this year. Since it's such a nervy season, perhaps he and his team should consider going back to beloved programs that moved the audience and the judges. I have no problem with skaters re-using programs that were showstoppers or...

At least they addressed it. Maybe not completely honestly, but it was addressed. That's more than I expected.

I'm taking some canned goods (chicken and tuna) to our local food bank tomorrow. They specifically requested cans with snap tops so you don't need a can opener to open them.

So far, the raccoons in my neighborhood only come out at night. I make sure all the cat food I leave for the neighbor's cats is gone before nightfall.

I've been feeding some neighborhood cats that wander into my backyard. I don't think it's good for them to drink the water in the pond (plus it makes the goldfish nervous :p) so I started leaving a big container of fresh water next to the pond (and I also cover the pond at night) and was happy...

The damage to our harbor has now increased to be about one million dollars after further assessment. FEMA won't pay for it due to damage being so localized so the harbor will ask the state to help, as the city did when part of a major road fell into the ocean.

Well, we had some damage here in the harbor - one of the docks will cost an estimated $100,000 to repair. This particular dock was designed and built after the last tsunami to protect the harbor and it did its job, but sacrificed itself in the process. :p Unfortunately, the harbor is pretty...

Definitely better to be on the open ocean, which is why our boats left the harbor for the open sea tonight. The last two tsunamis we had here destroyed all the boats left in the harbor.

The city has evacuated all the RV parks in the harbor area and recommended the RVs to be moved to the Home Depot, Walmart, and the high school parking lots. Someone noted that all three of those locations are considered to be in the Tsunami Zone. The city spokesperson explained they don't expect...

We're in the Tsunami Zone, but our next door neighbor is out of it and he already came over to say we could camp out with him if the waters rise. :p I didn't hear the Tsunami siren which already went off, but I got the warning on my phone that said to get to high ground. We should be fine, but...

My hair is really long, mostly because I just like it that way. I cut my own hair (trimming the bangs and trimming the length) so I save $$$ on hair stylists. What's annoying is that I live in the world's worst place for long hair. It is almost always windy here, which means I have to tie back...
