First Rule of Thumb

Earthquake...what to do

2008-04-29T06:10:00.000-07:00

In light of the recent happenings in St. Louis, central Illinois and Reno, Nevada, here’s a little quiz that will help you know what to do in case of an earthquake. I took the test and with my score, trust me, you don’t want to be in a house with me if one occurs. Here’s the test.

Before you kick him to the curb...

1) hire an attorney - you can't do this all by yourself no matter how strong you are (and family doesn't count)
2) if you kick your partner out - be sure to have his/her bags packed because once you tell him there's no telling what will go in his suitcase or boxes
3) if you're the one that's leaving - don't think that you can always go back and get what you want or need. Once you're gone there's little to no chance you get one single item left behind so have whatever you want already out of the house (this includes children).

I'm always around and enjoy comments or questions, from_diana@yahoo.com.

About the author

Hi and welcome!
The purpose of this blog is to share information that I've heard and find interesting.
I'll also include some of my photographs or illustrations that I've taken or drawn on my LCD canvas that you can downloaded FREE.
My personality is eclectic and although I'm ultra conservative I listen to all points of view. You might see some of that come through in my posts...or you might not.
My life today is spent 50 feet from the nearest beach on whichever island we’re on at the time. That’s a requirement of my husband’s and mine. Why live in paradise if you can’t see the beach, right?
My husband and I recently celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. For us, the past 12 years has been a lifetime of happiness. We’ve each brought different backgrounds to the table and embraced the other’s without condition. Never have either of us considered leaving the other. Each of us has been married two times before - thus the children older than our years together ;-). Divorce taught us many lessons: 1) attorneys make a lot of money from our pain, 2) children are better with happy parents apart than unhappy parents together, 3) divorce, as expensive as it is, is easy; staying together takes work, 4) there is such a thing as unconditional acceptance of yourself, your partner, your children and your friends, and 5) enjoy each and everyday as though it is your choice…because it is.
There’s a lot that goes into my life. As simple a person as I may seem to be, I’m very complex. I answer all e-mails and don’t appreciate spam at all, unless its in a meatloaf. Ok, if you have any questions or comments - my life and my work are open books and free for the asking. From_Diana@yahoo.com is my e-mail. Talk to you soon!!!!
