Lucy | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 11:35 am     Wonderful news, Mack!! Hope her suitcase isn't far behind! |
Webkitty | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 11:44 am     I wish I would have found this thread earlier so I could have added my prayers and words of comfort too. I know its bizzare, but I didn't know about these fires until now (long story) I know what it's like to lose everything due to an unexpected event beyond one's control, including a loved one. I know this won't happen to any of our tvch family, because there are just too many postive vibes coming your way, but I thought I would let anyone effected by this know that I empathize with your concerns and fears. I know the depth of caring MsMoon has for all the non-humans that share this earth with us, and hope all her babies, both feline and equine will be ok. I know just having her spirit there will help them thorough this. I'm all the way up in Mass right now, but if there is anything I can do for any of you, please email me. Love, MsKitty |
Slothkitten | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 12:57 pm     This thread is very heartlifting and lifeaffirming.The depth of concern and caring and eagerness to help others seems to be the normal everyday standard of the people here and is what makes this place so special. Positive thoughts and fervent hopes to all of you in the paths of these fires,wishing for no more losses during this dark time,sending hugs and strength for those who have a need.{{{{{{tvch}}}}} Feeling sick at the thought of these fires being delibrately set by some twisted person,this is eased by the knowledge of all the wonderful people that do exist;evidenced by this board,each and every day. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 01:00 pm     This is the very first thread I hit today. Still worrying and fretting over Ms Moonie. I hope everything is okay. Ms. Sea, check your folder. I went to bed praying hard for all our friends out there. And our families too. Woke up and it was the first thing on my mind! If there's anything I can do, even if it's only offering an ear, please let me know. Tish, how wonderful of you to bring the firefighters those goodies. I know they appreciated it! |
Mygetaway | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 02:15 pm     I've been offline all weekend too, but my thoughts and prayers were with you all anyway. I'm so glad to see that everyone *seems* to be ok at this point, for the most part. I can't even imagine how scary it must be for some of you. I have to agree with Slothkitten: This thread is very heartlifting and lifeaffirming. The depth of concern and caring and eagerness to help others seems to be the normal everyday standard of the people here and is what makes this place so special. That statement is so true, and so much why I love this place. |
Grannyg | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 02:26 pm     Tish, what a wonderful thing to do for the those firemen. I know their hearts were lifted just because someone cared enough to do something for them. Bless you. I'm really anxious to hear from MsMoonie. I hope she or someone she has talked to, checks in soon. Love, hugs, and prayers. |
Reader234 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:23 pm     Changing prayers that the arsonist will be caught and those devastatingly brutal winds die down!! May the humidity be allowed to rise, and comfort be given to all those in need. I heard on the radio that the San Diego zoo will be moving some of their birds, knowing how sensitive birds are, I pray for their safety!! They say the apes, chimps etc will be moved indoors for the smoke is hard on them as well!! Hoping Ms Moons' feline and equine group are holding strong in her presence!! |
Egbok | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:27 pm     Glenn? Any word on Moonie?? We haven't heard from her today...thanks! |
Hippyt | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:35 pm     I came here to ask the same thing,any word? Tish,that is so cool of you to do for the firefighters! Cjr,Great to hear from you,I'm glad you're safe. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:45 pm     I don't think we've heard from Glenn, Moonie, Zmom, Weiner or Wargod today. Have we? |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:47 pm     Just read through this thread. I hope everyone makes it through okay. So very sad watching the news. One lady talked about her horses. Her friends wanted to help her by showing up with horse trailers, but they couldn't get through. She said it was devastating having to pick the horses she could take, and just has to pray the rest can make it on their own. She said she wrote their phone number on the horses left behind....in case someone found them. So sad. I have a cell phone number for Moonie. She gave me her cell number last May. I'm going to try calling her now and see if that number is still connected. I'll check right back. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:51 pm     One question. They keep talking about the Santa Ana Winds. While watching last night's News, Mom kept insisting they had it wrong, that its supposed to be Santana Winds. I've only ever heard it as Santa Ana. Are both correct? Was it Santana, that got mispronounced and eventually changed to Santa Ana? Or is Mom just goofy? <anxiously waits for Abby to check back in> |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:56 pm     I left a message on voice mail. I let her know everyone is concerned about her here at TVCH and concerned about her safety. (hopefully the cell phone number she gave me last May is still her cell phone number now and she got my message. Darn, i just realized I forgot to give her my phone number...maybe she'll get it on caller id?) |
Egbok | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:59 pm     Who, your mom has it right, although I don't have the full reason/story to share at this moment...but I've heard the local TV weather people call them Santana Winds as well as Santa Ana Winds. Give mom a hug and tell her to stay away from the curbs when you're driving! LOL!! |
Hippyt | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:06 pm     Abby,call her back and leave your number,just in case. |
Halfunit | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:06 pm     Just popping in to express my hopes that everyone is still ok. A thought on Moonie - if they did leave, she may not have a place to recharge her cell phone. And if she didn't leave, she may not have power to charge it either. I know she knows we're thinking about her. Now, for the others to get home from work and check in! |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:07 pm     Rocky Creek Canyon/Indian Canyon Estate area of Simi Valley in extreme danger right now. My heart is pounding watching the news. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:08 pm     Does anyone know where to see an updated map of where the fires are now? |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:10 pm     Okay, Hippyt. I'll do that now. I don't even know if it is her current cell number though. Where is Pamy? I would bet Pamy has her current number, as Pamy has come to Los Angeles and met Moonie. I'm sure Moonie is safe....she probably just can't get online and busy keeping safe. |
Reiki | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Whoami, I have heard them called both Santana Wind and Santa Ana Winds. I think opinion swings back and forth about which is the more acceptable term. I have found a link that gives a brief explanation about the possible origins of both terms: Santana or Santa Ana Winds I think anyone who questions the kindness friendliness, and generosity of the people at TVCH need look no further than this thread to find an answer. |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:19 pm     Well, I just left another message to make sure she had my phone number. Asked her to call if she needs a place to stay. I'm sure everyone is safe, just hard to keep in touch with everyone, I'm sure. |
Weinermr | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:27 pm     I just spoke with Moonie. They're working on getting the horses to safety right now, and she couldn't talk to me, but she will try to call me back. I'll post more details later if I can. FYI I'm at work, safe and sound. |
Abby7 | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:29 pm     Thank you Weinermr for letting us know. Glad you are safe too. |
Egbok | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:30 pm     Thanks Weinermr! |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:32 pm     Thank you Weiner! Next time you talk to Moonie, send her our Love (with a capitol L). I'm so worried about my sis now. We talked to her yesterday, and she said she was fine. I called her house, nobody there. Called her clinic, and they were closed due to the fire. Tried her cell, and the call won't go through "due to local phone traffic" or something like that. I started reading on the LA Times website, and just had to stop, it's so terrible. |
