Take over, Sarge. I gotta get back in the rack. I have a pair of ears so full of fluid, they're going to bifurcate my skull when they blow. I gotta pop a couple of those lovely nighttime liquicaps and get horizontal.....ask a few of the others on this thread - we got the Satan Bug. LOL

I almost started to say the worst thing was “...” but all of it has been awful. Going from burning hot to shaking, shivering, and freezing over and over and over. So much pain in my extremities hubby made me take a pain pill. I described it as pain bombs going off all over. Eye pain so bad it was easiest to keep them closed. Headache. Cough. Weak as a kitten. And complete loss of sense of taste and smell still.
The worst thing though was, as a Mom, not being able to care for my daughter. Hubby did good though.
Hope you’re all on the mend soon.

Good point on the trash burn, it also would be too soon. The trash would be sifted for bodies and chemicals that shouldn’t be burned.

That's your generic Satan Bug. Nasty little critter, isn't it? But, take heart - we're all suffering with you. For all the good that it does any of us, but misery loves company, and all that useless pablum......LOL!

It sucks so bad it sounds like I’m in a wind tunnel.
I wish they would turn down the heat at least.

Bodies, chemicals, heirlooms, any number of important things. The clean up will be extensive, expensive and well directed. They’re not going to just shovel everything into a pile, spread gasoline and toss on a match.

The information about the debris arriving in one year was on the local (Portland) news tonight, provided by an oceanographer at Oregon state University. It is supposed to cycle, with debris coming ashore for 3 to 5 years.
The informationis based on a study of an ocean container of Nike shoes that fell overboard and worked their way ashore.
If I remember there was some sort of networking where people tried to hook up pairs of the right size.

Hoax...

2. All Caps.
3. Too many 3/4 syllable words not abbreviated.

If that is right and the debris is now radioactive, who knows how many will be injured by this stuff. Taking care of the stuff was a possibility before the reactors opened up but not now.

You do not know what your talking about. The nephew’s Business SMS account has no limits I know about. I’ve had much longer “text” from him in the past.
Lurk somewhere else

Seriouly. There is zero reason it would be in all caps. WTH is this, a telegram? Who texts in caps?

I doubt any of it well show anything above background radiactivity. It’s almost all from the villages and harbors. The state volunteer cleanup group SOLV has plans to clean up the beaches as it comes in.
