Heidi's Soapbox: News, Opinions, and Things You Never Wanted to Know

[MasBYUgal]

Yeah!   I'm glad to hear that you're ok.  Thanks for checking in.   I can't imagine what it would be like to see the sky that way.  My husband grew up in Orange County and when he sees the news he remembers days like that, when there were fires.  On the news they said there are embers as big as milk cartons, I can't even picture that!  And ASH everywhere, wow!

[Sooks]

Oh Heidi I'm so glad that you're OK! The way you describe it, it sounds like the aftermath of a volcano erupting. That's how my aunt and uncle in Olympia explained the erruption of Mt. St. Helen's. It was ash all over the place and in every nook and cranny...it was crazy. I would think the sky would look pretty crazy at times. Is there any hope in sight of when the fires might die down or be able to be put out? I need to watch the news tonight to catch up. But, again, I'm so glad that you're safe and sound right now!

Hope that everyone else in that area is safe too!

I just realized I haven't voted in the poll yet 

I gave it a lot of thought (seriously  ) and went with turkey on wheat bread with tomato, lettuce, and pickles. It seems like a healthy option, but I don't know how into healthy food Heidi is

Hehe, I almost went for that choice! I was really debating on that and the BLT. In the end I went with the tuna on pita.. and now I wish I could revote because I have a feeling that I'm wrong! I was the 30th vote, so only 6 more to go!

I think I may very sadly, and pathetically have to go trolling the boards for voters again.  Seriously it kills me waiting this long for the answers  .

I thought they all sounded like reasonable choices but in the end went with the BLT.

Have those fires subsided yet?

Lol Caryn. You troll the boards for voters?? I'd expect something like that from you.

The fires have subsided. I believe the only active one is in San Diego, and last I heard it was about 65% contained. I feel so sad for the families that lost their home. My sisters friend Andy, has a grandmother who lives in San Diego and she had a little hut behind her house where she kept paintings. It was burned down but the main house was untouched. Very lucky.

This time Caryn didn't have to come 'trolling' for me this time. I came on my own this time.
Can't wait to find out what the answer is.

Hehe, I love the person who chose "Sandwich?! I'm on a liquid diet!"

I chose the BLT. Woooo. But since it's healthy-ish... I should be eating that. I'm kinda stuffing my face with candy today. SIGH. Hopefully I won't gain like 84328364307 pounds by tomorrow.

What if I really was on a liquid diet, eh? 

And if you did gain 84328364307 pounds by tomorrow ... I'd be impressed.  Sad for you, worried about your health, but impressed.

[I LUV JESS~!!]

Hehe, I just know Pri's gonna come out with "[[SARCASM]] people!". I've been eating so much candy that I wouldn't be surprised if I gained  84328364307 pounds by tomorrow. I actually started my diet the day before Halloween, and yeah, what a crazy idea! Tomorrow it's back to pita bread and Crystal Light.

[honkifuluvGG]

Heh!  Really a liquid diet Heidi?  Somehow I'm just not seeing it!.  A girl that's as active as you needs a good solid snack occasionally.

Brenda, that was a wickedly brave move to attempt to start a diet the day before Halloween.  I'm guessing it didn't quite work by the rest of your post.

Still sitting on 31 votes.  Come on people, get with the programme.  Vote vote vote!!  And if you've voted, enlist your friends to vote!  And if they've voted, get them to get their friends to vote.  And if they've voted.... Well, you can see where this is going.  Surely my desparation is sad enough for somebody to take pity on me and scrounge up some voters!

back to pita bread and Crystal Light

EEeeeeew !! 

[indiecoffee]

oh contrare..or however you spell that.  I had a most delicious pita bread sandwich the other day and have been craving another ever since!  It was pita with some chicken salad inside, with lettuce and tomato.  It was soooooo good!  I got it at a little place up by the Catawba Peninsula on Lake Erie, if anyone knows where that is, haha!  Its kind of close to Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay.  My family has a boat up there and we keep it at a marina on the peninsula.  I love going to that restaurant, its soooo good!

If you WERE on a liquid diet, I'd make a trip to California, stalk down your house, and stick some meat down your throat. But you know, it's cause I care for you. =) THIS GOES TO EVERYONE ELSE, TOO!

Liquid diet? Not cool.

Sigh. If I gained that many pounds, I would kill myself before my fat folds over me and I die. Imagine that. I'd suffocate!

PITA BREAD AND CRYSTAL LIGHT, BRENDA? You must be CRAZY girl! I honestly cannot live without chocolate. If you just added just a sprinkle of chocolate on that pita bread, no matter how nasty it is, I'd be proud of you.

I love how everyone's actually copying and pasting the number of pounds. HA!

"And they would get their friends to vote, and their friends, and their brothers, and their parents, and their cousins, and their aunts, and their uncles, and their grandparents, and everyone else in the world until we get over 5 billion votes, or the world's population who don't have a clue what Gilmore Girls [or English] is." - Caryn


La la laaa.... I NEED A NEW SIG. Gosh.

[Lovefiend]

On the bright side, you'd set a new world record before you died
