risingdawn Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just heard about explosion at the Boston marathon on twitter. Very scary #PrayForBoston is all over Twitter. Lots of celebrities posting it as well. It's so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just watched the explosion on MSNBC, terrible, terrible. One that lost their life was an 8 year old boy. Injuries are numerous and awful. first bomb went off and then as police, etc rushed in to help the second bomb went off which is a sign that it was planned to kill people.

Chrissy Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Is there any news about who may have been responsible for the explosions? Such an awful thing to have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingdawn Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 No news. Think theyre treating it as a potenti terrorist attack. There was an image circulating Twitter of a man on a rooftop near the explosions and theyve found unexploded devices across Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) It's really sad . @various people Good luck with all your dentists' appointments. I always dread going to the dentist, I'm scared of it. I'm quite sensitive in my mouth, well, in general really, so it can be quite painful even if not a lot is happening. I feel for you all!

risingdawn Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Finished with my dentist! I had a swedish dentist called Gustaf I have to go back May 2 for some fillings as I've got some small holes appearing on my already filled teeth and to have some hard plaque removed. But considering I eat/drink loads of sugar and haven't been dentist in about 5 years, he said my teeth are very good and I brush them well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 There's too much speculation at this point, Chrissy. Plus the FBI and other authorities I'm sure want to keep mum until they know more. I have a hard time watching the news programs because they speculate and talk to experts but no one really knows for sure. I do know that they have some people who are being "questioned," and overnight the authorities searched and confiscated several things from an apartment in Revere, Mass. Yesterday was Patriot Day in Massachusetts and I've also heard that security was not as air tight as it is at other indoor sporting events. There were lots of spectators wandering around with bags and such, but the finish line was in constant view of cameras so how the criminals could set this up I'm not sure. It's very sad, and just mind-boggling. So much hurting going on and to see that little boy's face on the news, who was killed, is just heart breaking .

Miss Mabel Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's a terrible thing to have happen. I hope no one had family or friends there that were hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) The main difference between working and retirement is that in retirement I don't get paid for my work. Last week alone I must have spent 15 - 20 hours writing and discussing a number of technical problems with people from work.

~Andrea~ Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My wife has shingles. It is very painful. This is her 4th week with it. Oh my thoughts to your wife. I had it aged 10 and it was horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelee Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 When is spring arriving???? Cloudy and rainy day again. Snow doesn't get the chance to melt away. Depressing to look out the window. Even more depressing looking over my apartment. Way too messy. I think I will actually tidy a bit before anything else. Sign, it's a depressing week. Even the news are depressing as heck.

Talisman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It has been a strange day weather wise here too - brilliant sunshine one minute and peeing down the next - I wondered whether I was in the country and back in Iceland. The Icelanders have a saying that if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute ... I have though finished work for another three day weekend, and can't say that I am sorry.

Miss Mabel Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think that the weather is topsy-turvy everywhere. The sun was shining here today, but the storm like wind kept it chilly. I went shopping at Ikea with my best friend today. Got a few choice items at slashed prices. Nice. Then we went to lunch. I love an extra free day. I wasn't completely lax today, though. I did some ironing early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just went for our first antenatal scan and got our official due date (19th October). It's finally all very real - there really IS a baby in my tummy and I haven't been imagining things or suffering psychosomatic symptoms - hurrah! So, this is Button!

pontalba Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Dentist/root canal yesterday went fine. Finally. But the permanent crown wasn't quite right, so they had to take another impression for a new one. Two more weeks. But at least I'm not in fairly constant pain as I was. I took some pain pills last night, but none so far today. /fingers crossed/ Friends of the Library Sale next on the agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Congratulations Kell - that's brilliant news ! I have been enjoying a lovely afternoon at the Box Hill viewpoint sampling the orange and geranium flavour chocolate. I can definitely recommend it, although I prefer the chilli. The coffee was pretty good too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
