The mudslide took out an storage business down below it, owner didn't have insurance, there was $600,000 damage as he had an new show car "Mustang" he was storing and an truck and new camper also....The town south of me an ways, they are still sandbagging trying to save homes from the Clackamas River, and it's went through the town Library there...an older lady went off the road not far from there at Eagle Creek and died..some lady of all weird things got shot in the shoulder in bed from the apartment next door and an gun that fell down and went off of all things...the bullet went through the wall apparently...I keep waiting for some better news at my house...and to hear about the area in general. How's things going over where you live?....some 2009 so far. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I know they came out with the new wheelchair that "climbs stairs because my old adminsitrator' s son was going to college there and he got involved in the clinic. Their specialty at that time was takingpeople without legs and giving themartificaial ones so they can function as normal people. But they did rehabilitation in general for others.

The day my neighbour buys a gun and bullets come through the wall will be the day that things don't go so smoothly. I hope that's one Americanism we don't adopt. It's bad enough having kids illegally carrying guns, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like having them legally.....IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cat Ollie died Monday morning and now my dog needs to see the vet as well. I am very worried and stressed. It seems for me every new year starts off with drama. Maybe there is a lesson to be learned from it. Not sure what it is yet!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I am wishing that was one Americanism that America hadn't adopted. LOL! I am with you on this one Andy. I don't understand the mentality behind owning a gun, unless you are in law enforcement and are required to have one. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Just recently, i think, on MSN news there was an article of a 4 (FOUR) year old that got angry and shot a babysitter. Didn't read the entire article though.
