yes, it was horrible filling out those papers and that interview...thank God it's almost over and they will let me know if I did everything right or made mistakes which I try my best not to. I should hear from them some time this month. The papers sent me were photocopied so many times they were very hard to see. I wear glasses but still couldn't see some of what they had photocopied. yikes...I just hope I did okay, thanks.

I live in earthquake country, although nothing major in living memory. Not like places such as Italy, Japan, Turkey, where they are far more frequent. At some point in the next fifty years we are supposed to get the big one, who knows? More worried about a tsunami

Earthquakes are scary, too! I was in Southern California many years ago and felt 2 different earthquakes and they did scare the heck out of me. Luckily I was not near the center of either at the time. Those shaking walls and rattling can be terrifying! I hope you stay clear of those!
 
Finally have the Forty Creek Nanaimo Bar cream liqueur I have been waiting for since before Xmas. It is a new product from a distillery in Ontario, and they keep running out. It is wonderful. Nanaimo Bars are a famous dessert


which originated very close to where I live. They consist of a cookie crumb base, a custard centre, and a dark chocolate top which hardens. They are kept in the fridge. Initially, the custard centre was the basic yellow custard,


now there are many different ones available. My favourites, mint, orange, raspberry, amaretto. The cream liqueur contains both the scent and taste of these yummy bars, mmmmmm.

When I was ten or eleven, I was lying in bed when I felt a shaking as if a giant hand had picked up our house and shaken it slightly. That was the only tremor I have experienced.

Let's hope there won't be any more of those for you!

I could go for a few of those. I've never had them but would like to try some.❣️

I have family that lives in Bellingham so I worry about that entire area. There appears to be more than one fault line up there.
 
The power of a turbulent ocean, Tsunamis, blazing fires, icebergs falling into the sea, avalanches, tornadoes, earthquakes, blizzards, lightening, sink-holes, thunder-strikes, volcanoes, ginormous swirling hurricanes overhead (where I am).....all are so very humbling....I'll take one of those Shali. Thanks!

I have been through a couple of small ones, but never one that strong.
