She was supposed to try to meet with us today in Berkeley. I had given her my cell number but I haven't heard from her. :(
Now I am worried. I hope everything is okay. I can't believe they took her animals away.....how devastating!!! I am glad to hear they are all back together again though.
I hope someone hears from her soon and let's us know, if we don't hear from her directly. :)
Phred, do you have her number?
:D You must be joking!Quote:

/s/ :( Phred
K - thanks, Phred, it was a thought....
I hope she calls SOON!
OMG :eek: , I hope you are all okay, dear Gina! Please check in if possible....
I am discouraged to post for now but checking in that we are okay and still unable to reach my friend.

:confused: who said that? and if you keep posting like this, do you think I want to now? I talk with whoever corresponds. nice and gentle.
for calls, you called me once when miles was having a surgery. I get "ringings" when I am ON AIM and yes, I usually am not on it - not the best way of contacting me or busy life. I have responded to your emails like I have been .. :mad: you have my email!
catty, you could have asked me, I get notifications through mobile easily and will respond as soon as possible.
OK, Gina - I am just glad to see you post, that you are ok. I hope your car is too!
We have cool weather and a HEAVY RAINFALL WARNING here, so I am looking forward to updates from sunny California!
So if I email you, you get notifications thru your mobile? Thanks, I didn't know that.
Will you be able to take a day or two break from driving in CA?
Pat the Ark for me! :)
yeah, I respond wherever the response is. I get notifications of PMs and every posts too. break days, I hope so, I should. tonight, we (crayola and me) are going south to celebrate our father's day with the father, sister, her fiance and my niece <<-- I can't wait to see her! it would make my few past days a lot better.
to confirm - here we are! we have arrived at the biggest destination in california - where my cats will be staying for a whole month while I travel/camp/appoint in this state.
poor my friend, who I've been finally trying to get ahold of all day, her both twin brothers ended up back into prison on and for the father's day. and they both have a very little daughter without mothers. :( please keep my miserable friend in your thoughts, the little girls mean a lot to her and are with us now - thanks.
If You Are In Catada Look Us Up At The Found Paradise Cat Hotel.
I Think Most Of The Cats Would Love To See You.
Joseph Says Please Bring Temptations.
Prayers for your friend...how awful that both brothers are in jail!
You will be a great gift for those little girls - especially if they get to meet the Ark and Crayola. Crayola could cheer anyone up, I bet! :)
Glad you are getting a break. Are you near the coast? Breathe in some salt air for me! Have a good time with your dad and sister - and your niece!
:)
Gina, we're so glad to know you made it to California and friends and a safe place to rest!
I'm so sorry for your friend. That's great that you can bring some joy and fun to the little girls.
The kitties (especially Elmer!) and I all send our love..
Pat and the gang
Happy to hear you are in CA. Gina!!! Have fun with your family. :D
yikes, I'll have to take them to their doctor appointment tomorrow. what am I suppose to do? lol.. it should be fun! they are already pooping me out. :p I guess they could enjoy crayola (crushed in between babyseats) in the back seat too. they love them, especially crayola's jiggling tags!
anyway, here's one of picture of us each from the road ..
arf-hello! :D

and thank you for thoughts! next week the little girls will be picked up by their grandmother (eight hours away) until we know when the brothers will be out - probably not in next few months.
Lovely pics! How old are the little girls?
I am sure they will love squeezing in with Crayola - not sure who will have the best time. :) Do you think they will want their doctor to check Crayola?
I bet it's nice to have a break from driving. Have fun! ;)
please see a prayer request I made in sticky prayer thread - #841. and I also made a thread in pet general, find it. :D
I got a few PMs for keeping this thread down - sorry if my last post made you thought I was discouraged to post more in this thread - I just didn't want to type another lengthy post about what happened the other day.
hope you liked pictures. :) oh, catty, I took a picture of a daisy recently and thought of you - sunny california! I will post it when I have my 10 hands back to two! :p
edit ~ the girls are 2 and 3.
I just have PMed you all back for arrangements and are on our way to camping near lake tahoe for the weekend!
so, we'll be out of coverage anytime now, for three & half days and will be back on evening of 25th! so don't panick if I haven't post a single. ;)
oh, also, please welcome my new addition here in cat general! :)
see you all soon. :D
Gina, you are out of range now, I think. But have fun! I forget if your Ark is going with you - I think a friend is looking after them?
Have fun and come back and tell us all about it! :D
Has anybody HEARD from her; or know exactly where she went??Quote:

Today is the 25th....on the 22nd she said 3 1/2 days...
I'll drop her a PM and check!
She had PM'd me before they left and said she'd be back in range Monday morning. :confused: Because we were going to possibly get together tonight. But I haven't heard from her. I know the road to get up there was closed, so maybe they are stuck for a while longer. Hopefully we will hear from her later today. :)
I just got a message from Gina, via relay operator. She is okay, they are just tired, and exhausted and bothered by the smoke. The ranger came by, and the road they need to take is currently closed, but they will repoen it tomorrow, and so they will be able to leave then.
She wanted to let everyone know, and to not worry. Sorry I missed her actual call, but I am posting this for her.
Thank you Karen. I'm so glad she contacted you. I was getting very worried, even though there have been no injuries reported because of the fire.
I had her cell phone number, but accidentally deleted it. :mad:
Good to hear they are all okay. :)
Good news! Thanks, Karen!
So glad to know she's all right! Thank you.
whew, thanks karen! I was afraid I didn't remember your number by heart correctly. without signal, was unable to retrieve my address book.
hey folks, I'm alive!! we're alive! back home. :D SO glad to be back. good lord, camping was wholely surreal .. first, animal control crisis, five kids, then the news we heard about missing pregnant woman :( then the all of sudden smoke came, darkened the days, the blue lake and us.. lake tahoe was black. blackened. we didn't camp very far from where 3,000 arces were burnt, about 25 miles away. you wouldn't believe how giant the smoke was - my.. the smok was coming north, directly at us, we didn't see any fire - only orange glows in grey smoke.
we were supposed to be home yesterday early afternoon but the main roads were closed and we were very tired from crazy rangers, crowds, alerts and tons of cars and felt it was a hassle going up, around the lake so we stayed there another night. for free. :D and took us all day to get back home today! goodness. but we DID had fun. white sand shorelines, french toasts, campfires, and smores.. they don't taste the same at home. :cool:
candace - I didn't bring my ark with us, only my golden fluffy. at the next camping we will; crayola and two or three felinekids. :) cindy, so sorry we didn't came back in time! we could try again next monday?
please keep lake tahoe victims in your prayers - I've seen enough. nearly all of my tahoe pictures are murky and in them, there's a fire truck at every block. :( it was odd seeing that lake again very differently after I passed it almost two weeks ago.
So good to hear from you Gina. I just got your text as well. Sure, we can try for next Monday. :)
Yes, we can't believe what's going on in Tahoe. We are watching the news closely since we own a condo up there near Heavenly. I guess our vacation in August is going to be looking a blackened mountain sides. :( So sad.
Well I'm glad you had fun despite the fire and all the commotion.
Oh, I am saving your cell # in my phone right now too. :) I hope to hear from you maybe over the weekend, if not sooner. :D :D
Gina, good to hear from you, what a scary experience! We had fires down in Daytona Beach when I lived there years ago and it was very scary. On with the trip! :D
one fur and one skin. ;)
things are settling in now! staying over at my sister's since yesterafternoon, until tonight then gotta go back "home" to watch my furkids while my friend works out of town and a wedding to attend this sunday, 30th. I of course took my new kitty with me so we could get to know each other a bit more before we go back tonight.
hey - meet my new little guy! :D I'll have to start a real introduction in cat forum sometime later for more updates - one picture for now, please welcome this little fella! so far with a bad rough start from last few days ago, he's doing awesomely great!
and am have been babysitting my niece, emily! do some of you remember her? omg, I haven't post any pictures of her in a year now .. well, one was taken today!
I soo miss her!! haven't seen her since last august! soo happy to see her. :) she is a bit fevery today, and knows how to take care of herself, took her favorite water bottle and picked out a blanket to her chair, snuggled herself up. :eek: compared to 19 month old girl and me.. :rolleyes: :p isn't she a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e?? and see my avatar? :D
djfyrewolf, when she naps, I will send you your pictures. ;)
I posted on your other thread...... but ou really need to watch out, I might go there and snatch a few babies of yours..... how adorable is that baby.... I meant that for both the skin and the fur one.....;)
I loooooove your boy!!!! what breed is he??
Gina, your new cat is absolutely stunning. I love him! I wish I could hold him. Does he let you hold him? Emily is so precious. I think she looks a lot like you. :D
Oh my gosh Gina your niece Emily is beautiful! And your new kitty, wow! :D
OK, now that things have been settling down, for real I hope, I need to update the title.. I didn't babysit for like two weeks. :p
anyway, well.. we were suppose to camp at yosemite this weekend with that missing friend but things didn't work out. disappointed but, hope I'll be able to re-arrange before I go back - I cannot go through a summer without camping!! I haven't missed for 16 or so years!
right now, we're at tazzoee's generous parents' motorhouse out of nowhere in the country.. until we leave for NY or find another place in bay area. although with this worst signal, it's much fun here; we got our little own comfy home. :D and a pool a few yards away! :D we use it daily. a must.. I was a swimmer. ;) I took a couple of cats swimming with us too, plus the new kitty, (named locke) did great! such a little sweetheart..
umm, I guess that would be all for now, folks. oh and, my NYC brother is coming in in five days!! :D staying until the 24th for our sister's wedding this incoming saturday. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...d/pinkgrin.gif can't wait to see him... my closest relative. :)
Good to hear things are going well Gina. I hope you get to do a bit of camping. You and your ark are in my prayers, as always. :)
Gina - I wondered if you might stay in CA after losing your car. But is there a dance troupe there you could join? I know you have to recover for a while, but I hope you can go back to dancing and find a great group to be with! :)
Swimming kitties! How do you get them to do that? Some of them must see you in the water and wonder "What is Meowmie doing????"
We have a heat wave here right now...so that pool sounds great!
Take care!
Tell me you got swimming kitty pictures?
That is fantastic that you have a place to stay, and relax. Thank you to tazzoe and her parents! :)
and her brother's family too! they keep me busy, and they have great sense of humor that kept me going too. :cool:
yup, absolutely got some swimming pictures! I'd be glad to PM you some when I can. :)
goodness catty, not ready to come back CA except for visiting! my thunder is repairable .. so, gotta finish school, just entered a program there and actually, looking forward to go back to school.. and dance again. ;)
in case you didn't see this in other thread huskymom, he's a silver (or snow) bengal.
donna, he would let me hold him sometimes, and guests too if really gentle and slow. very shy at some times but once he gets to know you, he's very demanding for some pets! loud requests! lol. :o
thanks everyone!
Hey, could I get a few PM'd swimming pics too please? Thank you! :)
okay I will!
as for looking forward, not so looking forward to wedding day. my sister had "forgotten" or "couldn't find" me an interpreter for her special day. :mad: :mad: I'm sorry, but this is one of proprities of having a deaf relative!! yet, acts like she hasn't known me all her life. I've warned, terps are so (and always) expensive and impossibly hard to get for anything; appointments, meetings, except for courts, this is why you always should request two months or so in advance.
outrageous.. either it'd be a memorial one or ruined.. like usual. well, I never really had a family. :rolleyes: :( now I (and two other deaf guests - her godparents) may have no idea what their vows will be, or what my brother (best man) is going to say.. most disappointed. my poor grandmother is working hard on this, I insisted her to take that stress off herself as she already has enough. it's not surely possible to find one I need since it's only two days away.. and costs waaay more for "emergency" terps... I would help if I could. people!
and I don't even have a dress yet. :eek: oh well, we shall see! at least I can hug my niece all day long, either on that day or the next. off my soapbox now, thanks for listening.
edit ~ folks, I've posted more about my surgery here, please check it out for some lucks. :)
thanks for letting me know about your boy...... he is a mayor cutie!!!
canīt wait to see those swimmers too ;)
hope everything goes well with your knee and all family related issues can be solved......
is there anyone in your family that can fill you in??.... no one..... :(
