Mother Fucking Santa Anas
So, Brian and Linds have taken the kids and gone north. I'll find out where they land when they land there. We can't afford for them to stay anywhere very long unless some friends take them in. But Chad has asthma, and the smoke comes and goes. And with a baby, a toddler and a wheezing kid, and a dad who's working extra shifts, wtf are you supposed to do? We're just lucky our home isn't threatened.

Linds has friends in SF, and they'll stay there a couple days if the friends say okay. Otherwise they'll hole up in a motel if they can find one. I should have sent them Monday.

Maybe there's a reason I was driven to the computer, here alone with the dog and cat. In checking out my flist, I'm really worried about my friend Mandy [info]a_phoenixdragon. I wish I could help. There are so many people who care, and all we can do is just ask you to hang in there. Hopefully you can feel these positive thoughts and they help in some small way. (Hey, go talk to the bank and explain, and I'll bet they'll drop any fines. Bri's done that before with Katie on his lap, and that seemed to work.)

My thoughts are with you all - terrible for your family to be separated but at least this way you know they are relatively comfortable.

You stay safe now xx

Thanks! It was hard to have them gone, but it makes you feel great when they're back. (Is that the old saying 'absence makes the heart grow stronger' or something?)

Oh honey - don't worry about me... It's been ongoing for several months - and every now and again, I worry I'll break - but somehow I keep on trucking...

I'll ask - but this will be the 3rd set in the last three months - I was hoping to avoid it - but I think I have a good case - I put in money before the fees hit, and one of them is for a charge that hadn't cleared yet!! *Crosses fingers*

I adore you love - and I'm glad that you and your family are safe!! I'm thinking of you, and hoping that everything goes well for you dearheart - I missed you!!

*Kisses you, Bri, Chad, Katie, and Henry - plus the Animules*

*Xtra hugs for you lovie*

So lovely to see you posting, Jim!

Sorry to hear about the troubles, though.

I'm sure the family will be okay -- and you hang in there, too! I imagine it's pretty lonely with everyone gone.

I really miss you and Brian here at LJ. (Not that I've been here much myself lately... sigh...)

Take care of yourself! (And your cat and dog!)

(hugs)

Thanks, Charlie. We miss you guys, too, and appreciate the notes and forwards you send. Sorry we don't respond more often. Sometimes I think I'll get Bri back to LJ, but he's got himself into so many other interests. Best to MM, too.

It looks bloody awful from what I've seen on the TV. (I've fought bush fires and yours look dreadful). At least the family's safe. You stay safe too mate eh?

Thanks, man. Yeah, we're all safe, and we're damn lucky. Sometimes it pays not to be able to afford that house in the hills.

Am so glad that your family is safe. Wish you were too but understand that there's lots of people depending on people like you. Be careful please.

It's funny how you get through these things and life goes back to normal. We're the lucky ones. A lot of people lost so much. Thanks for your comment!
