Claudia,

Do you know what time she was supposed to go in for her test today? Since we don't know for sure if it was canceled or not (last I heard, about ½ of Oahu had power?), I guess that it is possible that she might still have that test done today?

I didn't hear about this Earthquake until this morning, as yesterday was Meghan's Birthday (

Big 19!!), and I was super busy all day long, and then was either gone last night, or entertaining a houseful of Teenagers, and didn't even have the News on. So, I see it on the morning news, and then when I log on, my MOM sent me an email last night telling me about the earthquake, and asking me if I had heard from Dana, or how she is...and to please let HER know as soon as I know something. I wish she would have called me last night instead, because then I might have been able to try calling easier? Or, maybe not, if everyone and their granny was trying to call at the same time, and the lines (if they were working at all) would have been all tied up? I just HATE that I didn't know anything about this until this morning!!

That is what I get for NOT having the stupid TV/News on. Everytimg I do that, something SUPER important happens!

I have been sitting here all morning, wanting SOOOOO badly to call her, and trying to figure out what the crap the time difference is (a big problem that I ALWAYS have

). I did solve that problem, though....here is a very nifty and useful clock thingy that I found on the Net. You can personalize it, and add up to 16 different cities from all around the world, so that when you click on your page, you have them all right there with all of their different CURRENT (!!!) Times. Pretty cool site that does lots of things with Time and Date stuff. Here is the Link:

WORLD CLOCK

Right now, as I am writing this, it is 4:41 am where she is. I am wondering when is good time to call.

I don't want to wake her if she is sleeping, as I con only imagine how stressed out she must be after getting shaken up like that? And, if she had done all of the prep work for this test, only to have ti canceled...OR if she still IS going to go through with the test, having that to deal with on top of all of the Earthquake stuff.

OMG! Poor Dana!

If you get a hold of her...PLEASE post and let us know, Ok? I will do the same. I hope that she has power, and I hope that the phone lines are up. Have you (or anyone else) heard anything about rather the phones are working in Oahu (or parts of it) or not?

And...she was posting yesterday about them being under a Flash Flood Watch/Warning (cant remember which one she said it was right now), because they were going to have some weather front come over them, or very near to them. Earthquakes AND Floods???!!!!???!!

And all of this after the HUGE Flooding problems they had over the Spring/Early Summer, when I was worried that she was going to get washed off of that island. Dang!

Hawaii has had it HARD this year.

I really, really hope that she is ok. I hope that she has power, and I hope that she checks in SOON! She knows that everyone will be worried about her, but I bet that she will be surprised at how many threads there are talking about her and the earthquake. I know that it will make her feel good to know that so many folks cared and are worried about her. Not that we were all worried, but that we all CARE...if that makes sense? I know how much it means to me when I have something (like the Hurricanes last year, or even just bad flare ups like recently) and I come to the site and see everyone's well wishes and questions and what not posted there.

And, you know how Dana is...sometimes I really don't think that she knows just how much she means and how important she is to SOOOOOOOO many folks.

I think that I will try to call her in about an hour/hour and half? Maybe, if we keep on trying, someone will eventually get through? I know that I will keep on trying throughout the day (or however long it takes!) until I finally get through and HEAR her voice. Like I said, I will be sure to post and let folks know if I do get her.

You and I need to have a "Catch up session" soon, Sweetie. I hope that you are doing ok. I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved Teddy. She was only a year older than my Puppy, Butter...and the same age as my Casper Cat. I don't know what I will do when I have to face the same thing you are going through now. I really hope that you are doing alright.

Losing a family member is just so hard. (((Hugs)))

Things should be calmer around my house now, at least for a little bit, so I can be on line a little more, and be looking out for you. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will be able to chat soon and catch up. I really miss our talks! Look for me while I am looking for you...Ok? (LOL, that sounded weird.

Hopefully you know what I mean. LOL) Maybe we should set up a "Date"? I mean, it isn't like we can't EMAIL now (now that we got the addy thing all sorted out lol). Sheesh.

I think that I need more coffee or something.

Ok. I am ending this here before it gets ANY longer. I hope that everyone is doing ok, and I really, really hope that we hear from Dana soon!

Love and (((hugs)))
Jose
