just need to vent. I am in Calif. My MM along with about 20 other friends are in danger of losing their homes to the fires that are raging through our beautiful state. We are all scared and I'm just asking that all you ladies and guys keep your fingers crossed for everyone here. Thanks for listening! NMR

Hi Gurl, Actually, we are all about 112 miles from the fires. We all live at the beach. The homes that are in danger are their second homes. We all go up the mountain on the weekends. Some of these homes have been in their families for years. MM is so upset! We had our marathon meeting yesterday and he was really preoccupied. Which I can’t blame him. It's weird because my H and I have been looking to purchase another home up there. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place to go to. I'm sorry, I'm rambling.......... We also have friends that live up there that have been evaluated. I have no idea where they are right now. Thanks for your positive thoughts and prayers! NMR

i want to live at the beach!! what am i doing wrong??!!

the way those fires are travelling, they could reach you. seriously, i'm glad no one is in immediate danger for their lives. it would be a shame to lose the houses, but they can be rebuilt. not the same, i know, but still...

anyway, i'm saying my prayers.

see ya,

gurl

You're too funny! When I agreed to move to LA 15 years ago I was determined to live at the beach. I love it here:) Thanks, I know at least they were all able to get out. All my buddies including MM and his W were up there last weekend. They were evacuated on Saturday. NMR

BF and i are supposed to move to SE florida in 5 years or so (if i can tear myself away from MM i suppose!) and that's my only demand, no more than 5 minutes from the beach! we'll see if i finally get my wish, after all these years......

i hope you hear from MM and your other friends soon as to where they are evacuated to ease your mind. hang in there honey.

Well, good luck on the move to Fla. I talked to MM several times this morning still no news on the condition of their homes. Thanks for your support! NMR

Well, at the beach you have to worry about hurricanes. In other places you worry about tornadoes or floods or blizzards. There's no perfect place...not that I've found anyway! My prayers are with all of you out there.

Thanks Liah, Well, because I live in So Cal. We really don't have hurricans but we do have the occassional earthquake! I hate those thing too! There's nothing like being knocked out of you bed in the middle of the night. LOL! Thanks for your prayers! NMR
