I hope that the person in that car is ok, CH. How is the hubby doing?That person is not okay from what I understand. Killed instantly from what I have heard. The train is partially on top of their car. I hope FAWTLies are careful and stop when the rr crossing arms are down. You cannot beat a train.
As for hubby, we are going through some tough stuff right now. I am foreseeing a single life for the first time in ten years.
I am sorry to hear that CH. But the train issue and about your Hubby. I hope the two of you can work things out, but if not... Don't forget that you have friends here.

Ever since Charlie came along, the wife has complained that she doesn't get to go to movies any more. Yet she's been given 2 chances while we're down here, and has not taken advantage of them.
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Wow! That's hot!

Especially if you're a bicyclist.

Here's hoping things work out for the two of you.
Note to self: if you're going to spend 3 1/2 hours in direct sunlight watching baseball, it would be wise to reapply the sunblock halfway through. Oh well, at least I know my body manufactured enough vitamin D this weekend. Anybody got any aloe vera?
Moorluck, BluePigeon, I'm sorry you're both having a tough time. My condolences to both of you. (And to anyone else I missed in my quick skim through posts from the weekend.)
what does sunburn feel like?
did your team win? And yes, sunburns can SUCK!!!

It is so mysterious to me...

Have you ever received a steam burn or been scalded? It's like that, sorta.
I bet FreeholdDM does, but he'll insist on applying it himself. He does a good job, if you can ignore the creepy giggling he does. Not that I would know about that....

Hey, I haven't done the creepy giggle in... At least 45 minutes!
Sorry to hear about the tough luck CH.

For me, it's mostly a feeling of being overheated, until something actually touches the sunburned area, and then it feels like someone is scraping a cheese grater across my skin. That lasts for a day or two, then the damaged skin starts sloughing off revealing extra-sensitive new skin underneath. It takes another couple of days to get to a point where there's no discomfort.

I'm really sorry to hear this, CH. You sound almost resigned to that end. I hope you are able to work things out for the best for both of you, whatever that may be.
Posting in a political thread was worth it for the chance to use that line from Stuck in the Middle with You. Been wanting to do that for a while, but always forget until I hear the song on the radio again.

On a positive note, I saw Snow White and the Huntsman yesterday. It was entertaining, but a little linear and predictable. I liked the way it subverted the passive heroine trope. And the effects were good.
I found William whats-his-title completely superfluous and Chris Hemsworth is just a flexiprop. No acting, just improves the scenery. Other than that and some odd camera choices, it was a good time filler.
Yea. Yesterday Karen found out that one of her friends was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After hearing that, her friend went for a walk out in the desert and has not been heard from in a few days. They are searching for her.They found Karen's friend dead in the desert. She had a siezure and had fallen and hit her head on a rock. Karen is pretty upset right now. Lucky for me, her best friend is going to pick her up and spend the day with her.
I'm sorry to hear that.. My deepest condolences.
Jesus christ, what a morning. Sorry to hear about the accident and the marital troubles, ch. If you need help, that's what I we are here for, and you have my email and number if things get real bad.

Hahaha. I am never getting to work. The bus driver totally forgot my stop, and I am not about to make a bus full of angry Long Islanders trying to get to the city turn around just for me. (I'm the only one who needed that little local stop.) This is almost comical.
Oh no! I'd ask what else could go wrong this morning, but really don't want to jinx you.
I need a shower but it's storming and I'm phobic about showering in a storm... something about lightning strikes and ungrounded plumbing?

I'm not familiar with your bus system, do they not have the little bell buttons/pull ropes that you use to signal "hey I want off at the next stop"? The ones in Phoenix did, so if there was no one at the stop and you didn't push your buzzer the driver wouldn't need to stop, though this didn't stop all the misses when the buzzer didn't ring for some reason or the driver didn't hear it/ignored it.

O.o First I've ever heard of it.

trains are one of the few vehicles I just plain don't mess with.

You are very perceptive. I have had a lot of time to get used to the idea, and I think the current state of things is not good for me. Anyone I lay out the situation to thinks I am too patient and should have run away long ago.

Train accidents are proof that people don't understand the difference between velocity and momentum.

It's not one of those buses. These are big coaches contracted by the railroad to get people where they're going while the trains are out.

Thanks, FHDM. Speaking of email, did you get the links I sent you?
Worry not, Treppa, I am actually quite good at absorbing electricity. Just wrap me around you pre shower and you'll be fine!
On a more serious note, I have heard of this, but I always thought of it as an urban legend.

Ooooooooh. I missed that, sorry. Explains everything.
CH, sorry that you're having a rough time. Hopefully things end up working out for the best for everyone whatever that ends up being.

I'm not chancing it. I also won't talk on wired telephones. A zap through the ears might just wake my brain up. That's far too dangerous to risk.
hi everyone
Hi, aeglos. How's the Euro-soccer-thingy going?

Coffee was so good. I brought some beans back with me from Toronto when we went last month. We were only there two days and I went to Second Cup four times and just had to buy a couple pounds of coffee beans. Finally opened the first bag this morning and yummm. Not burnt coffee! ^.^
Lyn, my nose envies your nose.
Hi, aeglos. How's the Euro-soccer-thingy going?
It is going quite well from my perspective, already 2 real classic match pairings have taken place:
Germany - Portugal - we won, hence going wellItaly - Spain - a draw, Italy was surprising good and Spain surprisingly not that good ( they are currently World and European Champion)
in 50 minutes it is France vs England
on wedensday we will have another big classic: Germany vs Holland
surprisingly Holland has lost it's first match to Denmark, Ireland lost to Croatia
tonight Kajhase's Swedes will have their first match against Ukraine
we have a Euro Thread in the Off topics where mostl Kajehase and me talk about the tournament

Also, how is the trip planning going, aeglos? Are your hotels all booked?
