RN: Me too. And this utterly sucks because my cousing is in town from Texas, and I never get to see her, and I want to see her kids, but I can't because my kids are sick. She has a new baby, too! UGH!

RN - Good Gravy! I just looked at the time...it's late here. But I've been without internet and computer for at least a couple of days and just realized last night how addictive this board is! So much to catch up on. Do hope all of you in the fire and smoky areas get some relief soon. I've been watching all the news coverage and have been thinking of you all. Hope things begin to get better soon. RN dh has been trying to install a new printer, then uninstall, the re-install. What at nightmare! I think we got a "lemon" and hopefully he will be able to take it back tomorrow. We've been without a printer so long that I was excited, not so much anymore. Of course the "directions" are sometimes as clear as mud. But we've had other printers in the past and never, every had any problem installing them. It can't be all us, has to be a problem with printer or it's software.

RN, Escapee- The smoke is so thick here I feel like I could cut it with a knife....I know that Dolphin is probably suffering as well.... I have Pretty bad Asthma and Ive been amazed that Ive been doing alright the past couple days, but I just woke up gasping and now I cant get back to sleep, I looked out the window and I can hardly see the porch lights on my next door nieghbors house and its so thick with smoke.... Im so hoping that they get this under control soon cause Im starting to get scared... I hope that your children are all right, and Also Dolphins daughter is ill right now too....I dont ever remember it ever being like this and Ive lived here for most of my life..and thats a long time... I may have to go buy a mask tomorrow and I for sure am going to do the hankerchief thing that Wargod mentioned...even my little dog was chocking and I gave him some benidril (sp)..Alls I can say is that "this sucks"... Im so sad for all the folks that are loosing thier homes, all the little wild animals that are loosing thier lives and the food that they live on is burning away.... all the pets that are confuzed and thier owners that have to leave them with others while they try to get some sort of relief.. If I had to leave my pets with strangers Id be a wreck but so gratefull for the people that are putting thier selfs out there and helping..... I would love to go help with the animals but I cant even go out in this stuff.. anyway... RN thats what is on my mind...

RN Chewie, I'm sorry to say that you'll probably be dealing with issues from this fire for a while after it's over too. When we had the big fire close to hear and it was that bad, Dakota suffered for weeks after with breathing and allergy problems and the dr said it was from all that crap, when the wind blows it picks it all up and tosses it around (Ok, he put it much better than I did!) I remember for awhile afterwards everywhere we went people were rubbing eyes, hacking and sniffling. RN, or at least right today, there had to have been one somewhere around here too, no where near as bad as what ya'll are dealing with though. Smoke was hanging in the air around the mountains and in one of those oddities of nature when something terrible is happening there's something oddly beautiful, we had the most amazing sunset. I had to run a couple errands at that time and for a second I just sat looking at it in awe, then I realized the only reason it was like that was cuz of smoke from a fire and that pretty much kills the wow factor.

RN, I know exactly what you are saying War, last Saterday I was in KMart when the thunder storm rolled thru...(only a two week break since the last fire)... It was so loud and normally I will admit, I love a good thunder and lightning storm but I knew right there that this was not going to be good.... and yep...it wasnt. Im only just now getting better from being very sick from the last fire, but there was a lot of winds (not good for the firefighters) and the smoke wasnt near as bad - not even close...but its very still outside now and the smoke has just settled in like a blanket.. RN, I feel like its a very foggy out like when its stormy and raining - it looks like clouds but its smoke... visability is nill... and I know what you mean about the Sun... this mornings sunrise and all thru the past couple days its been a brilliant red ball in the sky...its beautiful, Ive tried to capture pictures with my little nokia but cant do it justice... but its beauty is a sad beauty....go figure..

RN: Chewpito, when that thunder and lightning came through, we were sitting on Lake Oroville. It was so cool, but we knew right away that it was going to cause a lot of problems.

RN: Nah, that wasn't us. We weren't in a fishing boat, but we were out there. In fact we were headed back to the spillway launch when it started pouring. Huge, Georgia sized drops, that stung when they hit you. I am praying for rain for Butte, Napa and Humboldt counties. California is on fire and we are desperate.

RN Dakota's outside playing with her bf and just ran home to tell me the only girl friend her age (actually anywhere near her age) in the neighborhood has a "For Sale" sign in her front yard. During the summer Kota has her friends and my nieces over to play but when they're not here it's been so nice knowing she still had someone to play with, other than the older girls across the street and Caleb's friends.

RN, Awww War that sucks!! Are they're any programs near by that might have more children her age in?? Other than her baseball(softball?) that is.. RN., I put on fake nails and I'm in secret love with them. They're the shortest nails you can gets, and they're still like 1 cm over the end of my finger. LOL I've got such little nail beds that it's fun to wear these and imagine I actually have long nails. hahaha

RN - my thoughts are with Wargod/Kota I remember one summer back when I was just out of 6th grade. There was nobody for me to play with either - until - this cute little 7 yr old girl approached me because she had nobody to buddy up with either. One of my fav. childhood summers. We got so close that her Mom even let her go to the pool with me..Yes, I had friends my age there, but she was with me & that was that.

RN my roommate just left for Russia/Ukraine for 3 weeks. Okay, I thought the Ukraine was in Siberia. I'm an idiot. I'm gonna miss the lively little fellow. I went from being annoyed by his presence to sort of waiting for him to come home from one of his numerous expoits. I guess his chauvanistic charms finally took hold of my imagination. Impure thoughts! Bad roommate!

RN Neko, softball takes up so much time, especially when schools in, that there really isn't time for anything else. RN there's never been girls her age in this neighborhood til this little girl moved in. We're lucky that my niece can come over pretty much anytime and that Dakota's friends come to visit, especially her best friend who if she isn't here, Kota's at her house. Of course, the friends and cousins can't be here all the time and thats why it was nice having this little girl right there. Oh, lol, that sounds terrible like Kota only plays with her when she has no one better! That's not it at all, all the girls are friends at school so when they're here they all play together. But when all the other girls go home Dakota and the neigbhor girl still have each other to play with.
