Wow, Carrie, that's bad. Was it a storm or a hurricane or something? The bricks broke in a very pretty pattern. Is everyone ok? Did a tree hit your house? Nope. Just Santa Ana winds. We get bad ones occasionally, but not like this. They were literally 100mph. Everyone is okay. Our house got a bit battered, but fortunately, the huge tree in front did not fall (if it had... well, it would have brought down the front half of our house). It's just a bunch of leaves, dirt, and debris in our foyer, and some other fun stuff like that. I'm more worried about the fires. They're using the local HS for evacuations... blah, it's kind of close. *shudder* They( news people) /think/ just got a fire thats really close to right here under control, and by really close to here I mean the water drop planes cirlce went over my house *rocks back and forth* |

Ee, that's really scary. On Friday there were really high winds here, but just for a little while. A huge tree branch fell in my neighbor's front yard and crushed all their roses. XD We've had 50-100mph winds for about 14 hours now! =D And they won't stop. Last night our house was literally shaking. My brother sleeps right next to where the trees fell (Thank God it didn't go through his window). He's like "Yeah, I thought I heard something! Maybe!" I don't sleep anywhere near there but... how on Earth could he NOT have heard two trees smashing through brick and walls!? o___0 XDDD I would have been too scared to sleep. I was scared enough just the other day, when it wasn't that bad at all, but of course the HUGE trees in my neighbor's back yard (I was babysitting at the time) that were swaying back and forth, back and forth, isn't exactly the most calming thing. XD |

Aye... @squiesh: I thought it's been done before?!?! Um... I have no idea. xD According to Fj0rd though, it's not allowed. it's been done before--it just always ends badly. People accuse each other of cheating, etc.--"I waited until 150, mine should be picked!" and all that. Sev-- It's not you, particularly, just that we've had some fairly, uh, major issues with this sort of thing in the past. =/ Which we don't want to repeat, now do we, childen! *beams* ... okay, okay, I'll stop with the creepy-schoolteacher impression. >.> |

I know, I used to try, but now I just let other people do it. Because I think most people don't even notice who made the bloids. And because I have trouble noticing that the page numbers are near 150 >_> XD Exactly. I mean, yes, you get title-changing privileges, but you can always PM a mod and ask 'em to do it for you.  Like me. (Except... not too often, please. XD) >D Another good way to annoy Fj0rd. PM her a lot about modly duties. Especially ones she doesn't know how to do. ^_^ |

"Move my thread that's in Neopia General!"...? |

XD My elementary school teachers would address this situation with a lecture of the importance of not getting on the conflict escalator. And then we'd all make up, hug, and sing the conflict escalator song. |
