i can't help but share this excerpt from a reply i received from funnyara asking him if he was ok in osaka. in spite of everything going on he still has a sense of humor.

"I thank You thinking of Us. in case, We loose Our place, We & Our Kitties are comming to beg You
to live Your House Together. at least I will bring You my BEMON Two
Headed Giant Black vinyl version."

thanks!
Funnyara


It's phenomenal how many people that check in have some humor and hope in their words. Seems those in Japan are handling the chaos with dignity, much more so than all the internet nutjobs.

That video is so cool. Not that the destruction is cool but it's so amazing to see that so closely. To literally see the ground moving back and forward like that, mind blowing.

There's a more amazing video of the water rushing into a town. In 6min, the dry area was about 12' underwater.

If that is the one Brian posted on twitter, that video left me speechless. It's unreal to see it from that perspective.

It probably is. That video has been going around. You definitely get an idea of how fast the water is moving.

I'm thinking about Grave of the Fireflies since last friday, for some reason.
Isao Takahata would have made a good movie with this dog story.

From the French point of view, actually, the news should be much more carefull as we have a lot of nuclear power plants around the country. But really, from what I reading, this is really not good looking...

I would imagine these guys could do with some money if you're in the giving spirit.

I checked around a little bit and this was the only one I could find for animals :(

this has been deleted... but anyways, yes.. I think rockert's post intent meant well. you can throw all the money you want at the situation, but it can only do so much. not going to give you back the lives lost or fix the nuclear power plants.

In France, people believe Japanese people wear mask to protect themselves again flu or any other diseases whereas they actually wear them in order to prevent a spreading of a illness...

I also wear mask now but it because of hay fever - allergic disease in this season and I hear 1/5 Japanese people suffer it now.

I don't usually get hay fever this time of year, but it's been very windy the last couple of days
and I have a significant amount of post-nasal drip.
I'm wondering if it's possible to be allergic to plutonium?

My son David's Kindergarten Teacher and her current class were on ABC's World News Tonight at the end of the newscast yesterday because his school, which has a Japanese/English curriculum, raised over $22,000 for Japan relief efforts. Did anyone see that?

That is awesome! My daughters' elementary school did a total spur of the moment fundraiser (it was announced to parents Wednesday afternoon). The custom of Japanese kids wearing slippers in school was explained. My 7 year olds each brought in $1 of their own money (and an additional amount from me) and got to wear their slippers today in school. The school raised $808.35 in one day, with everything going to the Red Cross earmarked for children.

It's hard explaining this to my kids. They understand the earthquake and kinda get the tsunami, but the rest is tough. They loved doing something to help today, even if it was something small it meant a lot to them.

I'm surprised that there is hay fever in Wonderland :lol:
Anyways, I hear the amount of the pollen dispersal is 10 times as much as last year.
I've also had itchy eyes (before this earthquake) and I had never experienced it :(

I'm not expert of plutonium but I think we'll pass away before we'll be allergic of it.
Pollen will scatter in warm/sunny days well and the last couple of days does.
I recognize hay fever is some kind of the accelerated and sudden allergic disease so you may also be worse in this year?

Whichever, I spend a tough time :cry:
