I didnt want to start a new thread for this question because its simple but I just gotta ask. If your in a restaurant and a tornado siren sounds off, I mean you can actually see a tornado. What happens with business that night? I cant imagin everybody trying to get doggy bags or lining up to pay the bill! Does the restaurant just loose out? Does every one just go back to thier seat if nothin happens? What?
Since Mo seems to be in our future where ever we go here in Cali we wonder what we would do if a tornado hit at that moment? Its funny whenever we are getting into the truck my kids start yelling "hurry mom a tornado's coming" all in fun of course. We have to run like were scared just to make them happy.

Oh. bent, you are just too funny Let's put it this way, IF you can actually SEE the tornado, you are already in deep doo doo...Ya better be hiding under a table or booth pretty durn quickly... Seriously, if, I may, (gotta stop laughing) The town's sirens would have went off and all would have been scooted along to a safe place and the waitress/waiter will come after you with that big bill in their hands.

You don't think the sheriff would let something like a tornado keep him from making sure all's well in his town, do ya". You're starting to get me worried now, and I've been on this planet waaayyyy longer than any of you on this Mo. forum and the closest I've ever been to a tornado was in Hutchinson Kansas. NO, I did not have a dog named Toto.

That thing, the tornado, not the dog, came within 2 blocks of a friend and me and we were holding onto a lamppost to keep from being blown away. She was 5'2" and weighed maybe 95 lbs. and me 5'6" and 120. Still felt like floppy eared pups in the wind or sheets on a clothesline. That was some experience. But we didn't make it. Oppps, I mean, we DID make it. HAHA

The only experience I had that was close was one time they'd had tornado warnings all afternoon and I was driving on North Kansas Expressway and pulled into a gas station to get gas. I noticed it had gotten really dark, and when I got out of the car I saw all these people crowded toward the back of the convenience store. Somebody waved me in, they said there was warnings in the area.

So we all waited there together and the manager had the weather channel on and was giving everybody free coffee & donuts and said we could stay there as long as we wanted.
After a few minutes, it lightened up and we all went on our way.
There had been a severe thunderstorm but no tornado.

Poor earthquake-shocked Cali peeps!
You think a tornado sneaks up on ya like an earthquake...generally there's some warning. Like, conditions are right.

I can just see your kids...how funny!
Mama! There's a tornado! You're all so cute...

" when the thunder rolls and the lightning strikes.." Does any one know who sang either of these songs. Any guesses?

Bent,

I'm not for sure, but 'Rain' was sung by Madonna, and the other was sung by Garth Brooks. I think it's called 'Thunder Rolls'. LOL I used to think he was saying 'Thunder Road', till a coworker gently corrected my error. hehehehe

Of course, I still wonder what Jimi Hendrix was really sayin'.....'Excuse me, while I kiss this guy'....right?

What would we do without them? Thats for sure. My cousin who moved to Arkansas said the first time she heard a tornado warning she cried for four hours. She's in her twenties. I had to laugh at that but I totally understand. Every earthquake I have experienced has been at home or in famlies house. Never out and about. An earthquake actually save my hide one time. My cuz and I were throwing objects around in her room when a stuffed animal hit the ceiling. Well a big chunk of that cottage cheese looking stuff came crashing down. Not 5 seconds later an earthquake hit and when my aunt ran in to check on us she seen the ceiling pieces on the floor. We didnt have to say a word.
Case closed. LOL!

Boof! You were right! Madonna and Garth Brooks. Good job! Speaking of songs lyrics that are hard to make out, I wanna know what that guy is saying at the very end of "brown eyed girl" The very end sounds like "MY b***ch MY b***ch MY b***ch MY b***CH." No lie. I cannot figure it out.

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

Lets all sing together now ..........Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
(I can still see my dad singing this song to me when I was 2 or 3... )

OK I have some c hatter to share ..... I guess this is where we should post now ?? (because of some looser! )

LoL My web page I can add a chat room ........ lol anyone?

So I had some bad news this week ......... then I have a mom I care for her child that informed me she was going to open a home daycare ........... means loss of income and I need to replace him fast!! ............
I am attached ........... bad to this little guy .......... I have had him since mom went back to work .............. and he replaced another little guy that I was VERY attached too........... part of the job ..........
so am thinking ............ of not opening a home daycare when we move ..... but working for the district ...
downfalls to my job is ......... parents coming and going parents forgetting they owe ya money (whatever) .. and my home looking like the attack of romper room! (for those young ens that was a show of a preschool classroom when I was little and the darn lady never said my name when she looked in her mirror .errrrrrrrr lol)

So am rethinking things .......... going back to when I was very small........ I wanted to be a ..........artist and live on a farm ..........ok I would be starving now (Might have something on Jenny Craig here) but art is not for me as a profit ..but as a hobby! .......
so the farm part ......... country life is for me yes .............
When I grow up who do I most want to be like ........... Mr Rogers ------------oh yes I said that thats who I wanted to be like when I grew up.............. am I there yet - NO.........
I love working from my home, the tax breaks, the income when its here, but ......... I miss interaction with other adults ........ I hate dressing up .. Im more of a jeans and sweatshirt gal ......... districts make ya follow the book....... my home if a katydid lands in the yard ..were stopping the world to watch the katydid! ...... Last year we watched a walking stick on my kitchen window for 2 weeks! - school dist would never have this!

So................ what to do? Im thinking ........ and Im just not sure ..........
