Whoami | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 10:29 pm     No problem Eggie. Someone needs to keep me on my toes! |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 10:30 pm     I love your letters Sea and Who!! I'll let you guys know if he shows up on our ABC channel at 11 up here in WA. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 10:43 pm     OMG!!! Those letters are PERFECT!!! LOL Thanks so much for the Chuckles!! LOL TVCH is the BEST!! |
Egbok | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 10:48 pm     Okay I sent my short email as a comment to Ch. 4...hope they dump Chuckie!! Muahahahahaha!! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:12 pm     I'm monitoring channel 4 and no sign of Chuckie so far, but, I'm sure they'll think they have to show their own "news". Yep.. they just promo'd it. I'm going to channel 2, or 7, or BED. |
Sia | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:13 pm     Jimmy Kimmel played part of Chuck's on-the-scene reporting on his show tonight on ABC and made fun of the guy for what he said/did. I turned the channel after Kimmel repeatedly seemed to make fun of the announcer for "The Price is Right" who died yesterday--for the fact that the man died of breast cancer. I have only watched Kimmel once before. Does that young man not realize that men can actually GET breast cancer? They can die of it just like women can and do. |
Lanzee | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:14 pm     Hi, At work, I always read this thread through out the day but I can't post. Anyway, I am so thankful for this thread because of you. When I read that there was a fire in Stevenson Ranch, and I suddenly worried about my friend, who is deaf and mild MS and lives in SR. I decided to email her thru my pager. Good enough, she got my email. She saw ashes swirling around outside and smelled the strong smoky odor inside her house. Then she called her husband about the fire. He quickly left his job and pick up the kids at school to go home to be with her and be sure all is safe. So, she thanked me for the news. It was a big relief for me! Whew! Now their home, and other homes are safe and nothing hurt. The firefighters were watching it for them. They are the best! Also I love to say, YOU ROCK! Yes, TVCH rocks!!! I still can see the white smoke outside even the ashes are falling.... even on my car!! I even thought of Weinermers as well. Hope they are safe, too!

Mygetaway | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:19 pm     As far as I could tell Chuck didn't show up here on our news.. Although I watched the ABC channel and not the CBS one. We're having some fierce wind and waves here, and more flooding. Why can't that darn rain have fallen over CALI dammit!!!! |
Egbok | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Hi Lanzee, wow that was an incredible report you gave us!! I'm glad that your friend and her family is okay...thank goodness you emailed her thru your pager!! The Weinermrs are staying with some friends, I believe. They are safe. You take care too! And Lanzee, you doubly ROCK!! |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:23 pm     {{Yey Lanzee!!}} |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:35 pm     That's the way to look out for a friend, Lanzee!! You are part of what makes TVCH ROCK!! I'm not sure if they showed Chuck tonight.. I keep flipping to other channels, which is too bad, because I actually like some of the others on that station. I did see them tease about "what happens when reporters get too close", and showing the burned out van. Oh here it is.. right now. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:36 pm     Wow, it looked REALLY horrible... doesn't make Chuck less of a weenie.. and they didn't show Chuck crying.. said they sent him home. hmm. I'm off to bed now.. may the angels keep everyone safe thru the night. Weiner.. I understand things are going well in SR at the time and that they will start the planes at dawn: 6:10am. Special prayers for those firefighters out there right now. |
Tess | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 11:52 pm     Lanzee I'm so glad you checked in. What a relief. I found my mom's house on mapquest, finally. She's in Laguna Hills across the street from some big golf course though that's not what her mailing address is. (no wonder I couldn't find her!) Eggie and Egbob were kind enough to let me know she's well away from any danger. Goodness knows my stubborn mom would tell me if there was any problem lest I should worry. <sigh> You are all constantly in my thoughts wherever in so-cal you are. I know this affects you all on an emotional level even if you're not currently physically in danger. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 12:36 am     Good night all.. I hope to wake up to good news in the morning!! Take care and be safe. |
Wargod | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 01:07 am     Lanzee, I'm glad to see you, and even happier that you were able to get ahold of your friend. We are now under a cloud of smoke here, the sky has a whitish tint to it and the smell of smoke is getting worse. We're about 45 minutes from the Big Bear area, and a little less than that from Weiners, and I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to be any closer than what we are. All of you that are being affected more directly will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Please stay safe. |
Whoami | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 01:21 am     I guess I'd better head off to bed. I think I can feel a little better about logging off tonight. I don't have to lay in bed thinking of Moonie being surrounded by flames in the middle of the night. I'm still very worried for Weiner and Mrs. I'm confident they are safe, but just so fearful for their neighborhood. God bless you all. Good night. Stay safe. And, as it's been for several nights now, you'll all be the final thing I think of as I drift off to sleep, and the first thing I'll think of when I wake up. |
Grannyg | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 03:25 am     Hopefully, today this thread will be filled with good news from our loved ones in So.Cal. Maybe the winds will die down and the moisture will return to help all of you. Love, hugs and prayers. |
Bobbie_552001 | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 03:58 am     Amen Granny....amen. |
Reader234 | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 04:18 am     Just woke up, watched part of the news (chuckies van made Chicago news, not Chuckie!) nothing on the weinermers, so came down here to check up!! Thanks for round the clock coverage {{{gang}}} Lanzee, you gave me goosebumps!! I've been debating on getting one of those for DS... I want him to concentrate on studies, not messaging his many friends. Still debating tho! So many tvch angels here!! God Bless... adding my prayers to Granny's and Bobbie... {{squeeze}}} |
Costacat | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 04:26 am     It now appears that the two San Diego county fires will merge into one massive inferno this morning (the Cedars and Paradise fires). There is no end in sight, as the winds will still be unpredictable today, even if the onshore flow resumes. I'm still trying to verify but I believe they managed to save most of the town of Julian (a historic, picturesque little town filled with antique and apple pie shops). The Cedars fire is the biggest fire in California history. Almost all of the deaths in the Southern California fires are here in San Diego, and over half of the homes destroyed are here. I realize there are far more of you located in areas north of me, but please keep San Diego in your prayers. |
Grannyg | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 04:29 am     Costa, I will certainly add you to my prayer list. Hope there is some relief for you today. I know your heart is just broken and I am so sorry. Weinermr and mrs., hope today finds you back at your home, all safe and secure. |
Babyruth | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 05:46 am     Thank you, thank you, thank you to Abby7, Seamonkey, Moonie, Costa and all the other "live fire posters" for keeping us all informed and in contact, via shared local news reports and telephone calls. You're the best!!! I've been extremely worried about our dear Weiners and everyone else out there. Being able to come here and find out they are ok makes all the difference. THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVE TVCH! Sending positive vibes and keeping you all in my thoughts. |
Halfunit | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 05:49 am     Thinking about all of you again this morning. I hope today brings better news. And Abby, just to remind you how great your (and others) posts were, if I'm not mistaken, it was this thread that alerted Weinermr and Lanzee. I think that's pretty special.  |
Cjr | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 06:06 am     Costacat, thanks for posting your blog. I am so glad your Dad and his home are safe. I am in San Bernardino area and want to assure you that we are very aware of the fires in San Diego area and the loss of lives there is in the forefront of my mind. Please stay safe. I mention things here because I know so many people personally that have been affected, not because I don't care about the other areas. Please know that. Weinermr, I hope you can get back to your home soon and that all is well. Sending my prayers. Pamy, are you wearing a mask when you go out? I want you to stay healthy. Are the Riverside schools open? Ours are still closed so the kids don't have to go out in this mess. Also, I think half the teachers can't get to the schools. Things are alot better here in Highland. Totally covered in ash but I don't think there is anymore brush to burn down here. I slept from 6:30 last night to 3:00 this morning. First time I've slept more than 2 hours since Saturday. I feel so much better this morning! I am very worried about all my friends and coworkers in the mountains now. Only one way out of Big Bear as Moondance knows first hand! Our emergency broadcast broke into my car radio this morning and announced that they are evacuating Oak Hills and Hesperia now. I know several people up their that had to leave work early yesterday to get home. We were praying the fires didn't go that way and to Victorville but time will tell. These fires go beyond what my mind tells me is possible. I drove by the San Bernardino Airport evacuation center last evening and saw all the trucks and Red Cross vehicles there. We are collecting clothes, blankets, thongs, toys and hygiene supplies and will make a drop today after work. They need so much at these centers. We are collecting money for the 21 people that we know through work so far have lost their homes. I don't know what else to do. I feel so lucky and realized how little I really need or care about in my home. When I packed up to evacuate I realized their was 1 box of things besides pictures and clothes that I really cared about. Isn't that amazing? I am going to clean my clutter. Thanks everyone here at TVCH. I don't think there is a more caring, wonderful group of people than here. The best community anywhere! |
Kaili | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 06:12 am     Good morning everyone- hope things are getting more under control and am looking forward to updates (I sure wish I didn't get rid of cable sometimes). I just realized something- my cousin- I don't see or talk to him much but I realized this morning that he and his wife live in Buena Park...I'm not sure exactly where that is- is that in a threatened area? Now I'm all worried about them. |
