Oh girl, I am SO not a fan of the earthquake. Luckily, I haven’t experienced much yet since my move out to SoCal. Funny thing, this weekend we were in NM and stuck on a soft bed and every time I tossed or moved, the hubby thought it was an earthquake — it was a very shakey bed.

Pamsterish: That is precisely why I never clean the house. To prevent, um, breakage in case of an earthquake. Yes.

Christina: I think I would expire on the spot if I was ever within 60 miles of a tornado.

Kristin: Forget rice-a-roni, earthquakes are the ultimate San Francisco treat. The crab’s pretty good too.

Kerflop: Earthquakes have far less in the way of molten lava. That recommends them to me.

Josh: West Wing becomes shameful when you’re at the library every second day, just to check if your reservation has come in, because OH THE CLIFF HANGER. Seriously, this show has eaten up months of my life.

Jhianna: I think it sounds more frightening than it actually is. And it’s over so quickly. The thought of a hurricane that rages for days is enough to make me weep under the coffee table.

Jennie: I was in 7th grade during the ’89 quake. We all got to stay home from school the next day. Almost as good as a snow day.

One Smart Cookie: Subliminal messaging at its pixelated best. Who needs a glass of milk?

Mom: The crack adds character.

Dad: I am not reassured by the “sorta”.

Sphincter: The upside is that we don’t have to deal with much in the way of glaciers or tornados.

Kerrianne: You know, beans DO sound good. Hmmm. With some ham and molasses….

Bohemiangirl: Thanks!

You even manage to turn an earthquake story into a hilarious post. Glad everyone is okay.

Mmmm, beans.

(Glad nothing broke. And that you assessed your water bottle supply. I’ve only felt the earth quake once in my entire life. And I didn’t even realize what had happened until someone pointed it out to me.)

I, too, am happy to live where earthquakes happen rarely. Had I been in your shoes, I surely would have shat my drawers.

That crack from the ’89 earthquake will be just fine . . . all you need is a gallon or two of silicon seal and it’ll fix it right up. Then you can paint over it — sorta.

You reminded me to look at the crack from the ’89 earthquake. You’re right. It DID gain some new real estate. Do you really think the living room needs repainting?!?

Sorry, this has nothing to do with your post (not that I don’t care about earthquakes, because I do, and am happy to live in earthquake-free New England) but I am jealous because I think your cookie looks better than mine. It looks like it would be kind of warm and chewy and the chocolate chips would be all melty, and wow, I guess it’s time for a snack.

Also, I have that cookie cutter and have used it on many occasions.

I was a kid in the 89 earthquake. The silver lining of earthquakes (at least to kids): my dad let me eat all the ice cream, while the power was out.

And the only book that fell off our bookcase during that quake (seriously, this is true) was an earthquake fact book.

I’m glad you’re okay, and that your mom is too.

Being from non-earthquake territory, the thought of these makes my insides cringe. The ground is not supposed to move! Well, except when you live close enough to the artillery range that everything moves when the boys are playing. Glad you didn’t need to beg for beans!
