How un-geeky of your, Sean! Save the Last Dance ftw! - Mona N.
Technically, a mobius strip *is* infinity in a physical form, so it works... +1 all for debating mobius vs infinity sign! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Oh definitely. I would LOVE to hear everyone's confessions. Why do you think I love reality TV so much? I'm ALL about the drama, as long it's not mine. - Trish R
Trish? It's gettin' down and diiiiiirty in there ;) Even if its for voyeuristic purposes, we needs you and your wit + wisdom. ;) - Mona N. via fftogo
I wrote names in as notes, since I left a bunch of people out. Let me know if you want to be taken off. :) monamail at gmail dot com. - Mona N.
my family lives up in Sonoma County and I didn't hear anything from them about this...they probably could barely feel it up there, yeah? - Amber Horner
Because, you know, everyone in the DNC is a perfect speller right? Then again, there is at least one prominent far left blogger who spells "Canada" as "KKKanada" so that's alright then :) - Soulhuntre via twhirl
So "ameirca" is making some political point similar to "KKKanada"? The latter is deliberate, the former, I'm not so sure. - Jack Carlson
@soulhuntre fess up you sneeky person ... you made an intentional spelling error ... mission accomplished! clever very clever ... how do they find talent like you? - Wes Schadenfreud
Yikes. Please duke it out by the bike racks and not here :) Thank you for your cooperation! :) - Mona N.
Them Republicants shore is smart, ain't they? No wonder they vote that way. - Jody C
Quiet you unpatriotic Frenchies! Criticise the uneducated and the terrorists win! LOL. - Mark O'Neill
Nice, make fun of the dyslexic people. Or maybe his child made the sign. Question, is your spelling perfect all of the time? When you're not using spell check? I really don't understand why it is acceptable to make fun of someone when you don't agree with their political views. - ChiliMac via twhirl
I was always in the house. TV was my friend... and the NES - Outsanity
I was lying on my belly on my bed with the boobtube on, finishing up algebra homework and watching the battle of the bay world series pregame - Pete Delucchi
omg, Bay Area bash!! @Outsanity: really? You never played outside? - Mona N.
I was doing the dishes in my studio apartment, listening to the first Cowboy Junkies album/cassette. When the place started shaking, I went against all of my school training and ran outside, and steadied my "about to fall over" motor scooter for about thirty seconds. There were a lot of befuddled old ladies and young guys whooping and hollering after the shaking stopped. - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy
I'm from Michigan and never was forced to go out side but choose to. Once in awhile my mom would tell me to go out and play cause she said it was stupid to waste my day inside. And I've only been through one earthquake in Michigan. - Colide81
Helen: Did you grow up in the Bay Area? @Colide81: You get earthquakes in Michigan?! Never knew that! I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse, having great weather in the Bay Area... I actually wanted to stay home and read, but was ALWAYS forced to go outside. I was only allowed an hour of TV a day :( - Mona N.
I was doing my homework in the den. I remember being much more fascinated by the way the floor was moving than scared. - Shannon Jiménez
I was walking through a concrete corridor at Candlestick Park. I thought someone was coming up behind me with one of those big hot dog steamer carts. Everyone in the stadium cheered after the shaking stopped. - Alan
I was at Taco Bell... All I really remember is my mom pulling me under the table and everything falling out of my taco just as I was about to take my first bite... =*( - Raymond
I was in an unreinforced brick building. Scary. - Jay Tannenbaum
yeah the Equake was a 2.0 and it was centered in Pennsylvania, but could be felt as far north west as Detroit, Michigan. - Colide81
2.0 is still an earthquake! Man, I had no idea so many of you were raised in the Bay Area! Thanks for sharing. And LOL @ Raymond and his taco dilemma hahahah! - Mona N.
i was playign simcity. i thought it was my fault. - Rodfather
I felt '89, and I lived in Sacramento at the time (poor me) ... some stuff fell off the wall, I was watching the World Series - Bren
I was living in LA watching the World Series like the rest of the US...I still remember the Nimitz Freeway shot on TV... - Live4Soccer
i was at the epicenter. it sucked. was scared to go to the bathroom since there were a lot of aftershocks. - Rodfather
Hey Mona, I went offline after posting. Sorry...I'm originally from the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area. At the time of the Loma Prieta quake, I was living in an inlaw apartment near Skyline in Daly City. - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy
I was also at soccer practice during the '89 quake. Some parents drove up mid-practice to take kids with relatives in the Bay Area home. - Louis Gray
وااییی من تشنمه نوشابه میخوااام:(((((((((((( - Aida
Where are the memorials to those who fought and died in the Cola Wars? Where is their parade? Where are the heros? Lest we forget... - John Worthington
...and all poor little Cola ever did was try to speak out against segregation. :( - Matrixx333
Manny has been killed and the platoon is looking for revenge... - J. Abdul-Qahhar
how about this one .... "Right, some bastard's glassed this wee lassie, and nay bastard's leaving this pub until we find oot who did it!" - (Begby from Trainspotting) - Slippy Lane
wow very creative. Maybe pepsi should hire you. - Colide81
lol...one of these days....(I don't wanna wake up the wife!)....plus, I'm in my skivies and am NOT about to go on the internet in tighty whities... - Sean McGee
None that I know of, except for one revelation: I'm addicted to FriendFeed... - Mona N.
I'm over here doing the funky chicken, just happy you're okay!! - Cheryl Allin via twhirl
was the crack addict there? That would have been fun to watch... - Pete Delucchi
I thought it was, say no, then go tell. I'm so confused - Jay Wiegmann
LOL on loving Friendfeed. When the first tornado came during Gustav, I jumped into the hallway with my pets and my iPhone and immediately posted. ;-) - Chris Baskind
When the Chino Hills quake hit, I got under my cubicle desk fairly quickly. - Ontario Emperor
In '89, I was playing soccer outside and thought my mom forgot to pick me up LOL - Mona N.
didja spill your drink? Whew, so glad you're okay! - Cheryl Allin via twhirl
I was sitting in front of my computer LOL - Mona N.
For fire: run, scream and hug; don't go to the burn ward alone. :) - Robert Hafer
More like: Grab my laptop and peripherals! Gotta save my treasures! ;) - Mona N.
brb, gotta go check on my neighbors' dogs - Mona N.
Left = some FFers and where we are / Right = Map from USGS. Key: The red "X" = where it was felt the most. Hope this helps! :) -- please excuse my drawing 'skills'. - Mona N.
Helps lots, Mona. Where's Polly on that map... I forget. - Yolanda
I'm in San Jose and didn't feel a thing. 4.0 is a relatively minor quake. - Jeff P. Henderson
Geoff: Ya cuz I'm always parked in front of a computer LOL @Jeff: So I heard lol. I felt my entire house shake! I thought a bomb dropped or something haha - Mona N.
Yeah, most of the time you can't feel 'em until they are 5 and above. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)
Hutch, I thought you were in the South Bay!! Jennifer, if I had the skills, I would've SO drawn a launching couch. I can see it in my head. My fingers are just retarded HAHA - Mona N.
Why The H)*%^* do you crack me up so much .... Here's the recap (If anyone has a weird problem with screenshots .. I'll pull it (He ducks) http://www.behindtheweather.co... (Suitable for framing) - Charlie Anzman
The one thing that I care about is Moscone. I'll be up that way for Oracle OpenWorld in a couple of weeks, but I'll probably spend most of my time within a few blocks of Moscone. Of course, in that area you have to think about tall buildings. Thankfully, we have earthquake building codes in California. - Ontario Emperor
Hutch: done. @Chris: More like EPIC FAIL lol. @Ontario: you're in SF too? - Mona N.
See that X? That big red X? That's where I live! - AJ Kohn
Walnut Creek? I'm adding you to the map, too AJ! - Mona N.
Another SFer here. Terestita Blvd in da house. - Mike Doeff
chew R a stick figure with puurdy hair :D - Caroline
Hutch, that's cool that we're neighbors. We should meet up for coffee. - Mike Doeff
I'm a former SFer and soon to be again! Currently living by the big red x. Yikes. I was in SF during the quake, though. Surprised that it was only 4.2. I felt it all the way over at UCSF on Parnassus. Felt like a car crashed into the house where I was babysitting. I can only imagine how it would have been at home. Power was only mishap. Had to reprogram clocks and stuff when I got here... - Lisa L. Seifert
I'm somewhere on that map as well. I was driving at the time and didn't feel a thing. - Alan Le
Ya, I put a note on my Flickr: "Alan Le, somewhere" and made a super duper stretched boxed of the East Bay hahaha! Lemme know if you want to be taken off :) Ps. Thank you everyone for your concern! :) - Mona N.
Yup. WC. FTW for sure! Now if it could just get below 100 for a day some time in the near future ... - AJ Kohn
I can barely fit on the map... lower right corner in the brown, next to the RFID plant and IBM Almaden... You also need to scale that the map is 100 miles wide. SF != SJ. SF = 1hr easy from SJ on a good day with supersonic jets and no other citizens on the roads. :) - Eric Rice
YAY! So you're gonna fix it for me!! Thanks, Spin! :) - Mona N.
I think being a little confused is warranted, Mona. :) - Yolanda
Ya knoiw, I was about to hang a new wooden sign over my bed tonight and thought I'd wait til tomorrow. Now I might find a new location. :-/ - Jennifer Leggio
This is the first time I cussed on FF. And the first thing I did was post on FF. I think I have a problem... - Mona N.
Nona: Always post to FF, then drop and roll. - Russellreno
that didn't even get me off the couch. Wait until you are in a 7 or more. - Robert Scoble
Crap, I feel like a jinx, talkin' all star signs and stuff eeeek - Cheryl Allin via twhirl
At least it was only a 4.6. Not that I want to jinx us for a bigger one. *knocks on wood* - Jennifer Leggio
Maybe my house is old, I heard it creak... It almost felt like a bomb dropped. - Mona N.
Scoble -- Seriously. It got my attention but it just felt like someone slammed a door. - Jennifer Leggio
Sorry for cussing, people... And the '92 quake, I was playing soccer outside. Didn't even feel it lol - Mona N.
Mona, you might want to move. Or get some retrofitting. :) - Jennifer Leggio
Mona: Problem or not... I appreciated your prompt and colorful share! I work with lots of folks in the Bay area. Glad to hear it wasn't a really bad one. - David Muir
With all this shaking going on, we should have a Quakeroom - imabonehead
Jennifer: That's what I'm saying. I'm on the 3rd floor :O LOL @David, apologies for the cussing. That was my first reaction. lol - Mona N.
Man - Now I want a Slurpee. Mona .... you OK now ?? - Charlie Anzman
After Northridge and Big Bear it's hard to get more than a "wow, was that a quake?" out of me. But I'm glad those who felt it more than I did are doing all right. We also now know that Mona's building needs earthquake retrofitting. ;-) - Jennifer Leggio
THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING - Kaia ♥
I hate babysitting during an earthquake. My stress level goes up about 200 % along with my felt responsibility level. :-| Come home, parents! Come home! - Lisa L. Seifert
We had a big earthquake up here in WA state about 8 yrs back - hubby was in bathtub w/ baby Falken, he slipped and slided and wondered if he should run outside naked - Cheryl Allin via twhirl
No! No! DO NOT run outside! Stay inside. There was something recently about being BESIDE big furniture and walls rather than under big furniture... - Lisa L. Seifert
It wasn't that big, guys LOL We were just caught off guard haha Thanks, everyone :) - Mona N.
USGS = "Best-fitting double-couple of the preliminary NCSS moment tensor solution." FriendFeed = "OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!" - Karim
hahahhahahahha! But they were the first site that had the information up, Karim! LOL!! - Mona N.
