I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised
if all of those things had some kind of corn in them too.
Almost everything 'good' has corn syrup at least in it!

How have you been feeling?
Did you have your usual Alaska symptoms this time?
I was really tired, but that was about it!
WOQ

Had to come back & add that all of a sudden I have 'dropsy'!!!
Everything I try to pick up, goes flying out of my hands!
I almost just broke the glass in my china cupboard with a can of sardines!!!
I came this >....< close! Long story!!!
Wonder what that means??? Ha, ha!

Hi WOQ...

I didn't have symptoms this time to the degree I usually do, but in the past, noticeable symptoms have indicated a 7 plus quake. Minor headace, but that's all. Weirdly, I was watching USGS at the moment that quake popped up. I had a really busy day yesterday and just didn't have a minute to post, but I've had a strange feeling of anxiety...more than that, almost like expectation...for the last day or so. Part of it was the plane crash in Ukraine, but there's something else. I don't have the usual thumping headache that goes with a big Alaska quake, but I've had moments of dizziness and disorientation.

Oh dear, I have a headache. It's been building for a couple of hours, but it's quite bad now. Maybe it's just the weather here, as it's stormy and thundery, very humid, and more thunderstorms forecast. They don't usually bother me though, but I hope it's that and not an Alaska headache. That would mean a 7+ unfortunately.

I've got a rotten headache myself today, the kind I usually get when the air pressure drops when storms are coming. Except it's not expected to rain here today. :/
My joints are also killing me today, especially my hands. I've tried my trusty tylenol & aspirin combo, it almost always works for me. Except today, not so much as a dent's worth of relief...

What time did your headaches start?
Mine around 5pm, Pascific standard time.
I had it all night, went to bed with it woke up this morning with it as intense as it was when it started.

It's only on my left side. Pretty intense right now.

It woke me up in the middle of the night, some time after 3am eastern. It's interesting that yours is on your left side, though. Mine went from an all-over headache to the left side since I last posted, which was also shortly after I took the most recent dose of tylenol & aspirin, so that could have something to do with it. It feels like everything from the cheekbone & up on that side, front & back of the head, is getting walloped with a baseball bat in rhythm with my pulse.

Oh most certainly it is corn chex in them.

Had some nausea day before yesterday and felt pretty depressed yesterday. No headaches though.

a reply to: Observationalist

It started about 2pm GMT yesterday, so I think that's about 9am Eastern? Also a big yes to the sore hands and other joints especially my shoulders. My left shoulder has an injury that restricts movement anyway, and is painful most days, but just now, the last few nights, it's been waking me up, it's so bad. Ankles, hands, hips too. Bah.

I'm also waking up to the fact that I might be menopausal...I'm so excited! The usual monthly hormonal torment wasn't so bad, and the prospect of not having a quarter of my life taken up with severe pain, nausea, bloating and feeling exhausted for days at a time fills me with delight. Seriously!

These pains however, are not hormonal, far from it. The headache is bubbling away, not quite gone. I do worry sometimes, what I might feel if there is larger than an 8 in the Aleutians, and god help me if there is a repeat of the infamous 9.2. Hope it never happens.

Thanks for your replies, I was looking for some correlation in the timing of headaches.

I can tell you mine lasted right at 24 hours. I was wiped out all the next day, I woke up at 4:44 pm and it shifted to my right side, then about ten minuets later it went away.

Wheather its aches and pains or ring in ears I sence something is about to happen. Today's weather here in Sacramento was very strange, it was cloudy all day like it wanted to rain, there was a eerie fall like wind that usually signals the end of summer, but it's still July, and just as the sun began to set it started to shower. Pretty awesome sky with a bright orange glow to the west and to the east a faint but full rainbow. This provoked in me a feeling of change and anticipation.

Anyway I get this sence within a few days that the landscape either geological, or political, will begin to shake.

Perhapse my worries about the seismic ultrasound project at Mt. St. Hellen's has me uptight. Or the stress I see mounting in the Middle East.

Be safe. I will pray for both safety and wisdom for all who are in need.

I feel lead to post two important scriptures, one you all know.

John 3:16New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

2 Timothy 1:7King James Version (KJV)
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Morning..

I recognise this feeling, of waiting for the other show to drop. The Gaza situation worries me immensely, and I can't believe it's been allowed to get so bad. Encouraged to get so bad, I think. I've felt for a while that whatever event we're waiting on and sensing, will be a combination of natural and political...like a huge earth based disaster that coincides with something humans have created like a war or a nuke or some political upheaval. Whether it's planned that way, or just taken advantage of at short notice, I'm not sure, but however it occurs, it's a total gamechanger.

So yeah...I dread the 9 pointer that hits a major population area for more than the obvious reasons. I have strong instincts that make me want to run for the hills and not come back ever, but I'm making do with a little village that is kind of out on it's own, although not as remote as I would like. Ultimately I know we will be ok though...it's just a process we have to go through.

Symptoms today are pretty minimal...just the usual morning creakiness on a physical level, and a sore arm and shoulder (must see a physio about that). Emotionally...little red flags in a few places, some personal, some more general. I'm on guard, watchful you might say.

Stay safe everyone.

Yesterday, I had a pretty nasty headache. The kind that makes me concerned for quakes. Today I have been sleeping most of the day. It's now 4pm est and I'm gonna do my best to get up and about since I failed at that earlier this morning.

There was this one yesterday:

6.9
94km NNE of Ndoi Island, Fiji
2014-07-21 14:54:41 UTC
616.4 km

But that was almost 11 AM.
Should have started feeling better after that.
Another one coming soon?

I didn't notice anything today, but some mild ear ringing now.
Hubby's no help, he hurt his back over the weekend cutting wood,
& is too uncomfortable to feel anything else!
WOQ

The last week I have found myself glued to the EQ map watching Southeast Alaska.

Today it spawned a bunch of EQs, and I am getting a push to say there is a bigger one coming up soon around this area.


So I just had to find a place to drop my feeling.

*drop*

Ok, feel better now...

carry on.

Just came home from taking hubby to the ER.
He had sharp chest pain in the middle of his chest.
We were driving home & he didn't tell me 'til after we got home.
He said it had felt like a knife stabbing him in the middle of his chest,
all the way through to his back. Not the usual left pec pain.
And he said he had pain in both ears that went down his jaw on both sides.

I was a little concerned when he said about jaw pain!
Things weren't acting like regular eq symptoms!
He said the pain quit before we got home,
but then he had heartburn & a little nausea.
He wanted to wait a little while to see how he would feel.
We himmed & hawed around for awhile, wondering what to do.
He has no heart history, isn't overweight, works out & walks 3-5 times a week,
isn't on any meds, no high blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar...

We can't remember exactly what happened right before Japan's big one,
but I remember he was as white as a sheet when he came into the room,
& he said he thought he'd better go to the ER, right as breaking news came on TV!
So we waited about a half hour & then he was fine!

Since he said this time it was a different pain than he ever felt before,
& it was early evening & I was worried something could happen during the night
& I would be sleeping, we decided to go get it checked out!
His EKG, X-ray & all the blood tests showed normal!

Just now as I was making supper, I was dropping things like crazy!
And I'm starving, but I didn't have a chance to eat anything yet today,
except a cup of coffee & some corn on the cob.
Starving... Oh my gosh! And as I typed this, I realized...corn!!!
So just a heads up in case something is coming again!
WOQ

ETA: The nurse in the ER said that it had been crazy all day today!!!

So, it's now a little over 24 hours since hubby had the weird chest pain.
No big quakes! What the heck was it???
I should have looked at solar flares yesterday,
but why would that have caused something new?

Of course on a conspiracy site I could imagine all kinds of things!
The only other possible explanation, is that it WAS a real health issue.
I sure don't want to go there!!!
WOQ

a reply to: wasobservingquietly

I hope hubby's chest pain has gone completely now...it might be a few things, from muscle spasm to anxiety, so don't assume it's anything serious. Get it checked to put your mind at ease of course. Solar flares have made me feel very odd in the past, not chest pain, but weird palpitations that last a few seconds and then are gone.

Alaska...yup, constantly on my mind. I have a headache today, bubbling nicely, no serious pain, but there in the background. It's possibly more to do with the fact that my father in law is visiting for the first time, and he hasn't stopped talking since he arrived. You know how the frequency of some people's voices just makes every nerve scream? Yup. Sorry...I need a rant here. It's only going to get worse when his granddaughter arrives for 3 days tomorrow, and she blethers incessantly about all kinds of utter poop. I want to move out....will somebody please take me and my dog in for a few days? I'm a really good house guest with an obsession with housework and laundry.

Seriously though, apart from watching Alaska and wondering why there aren't more quakes, my anxiety seems to be personal, not geological.

Hope everyone is ok today.

Hi!
Ha, ha! I wrote you a novelette!
They said all hubby's tests were fine!
Which is the weird thing about it!
But we've both been told that many times before,
for years, when there really was something wrong!

What's nice now, is our hospital just went all hi tech!
All hubby's tests are on-line, we can go on & see everything!
Such a difference from when you had to ask all kinds of questions,
& they still didn't want to tell you anything. "Everything looks normal",
because lay people aren't smart enough to understand !

Everything is still saying 'pending', they're probably off for the weekend!!!
At least we will be able to see if any of the tests are borderline & go from there.

He only had that one short episode, which is weird.
He does get tightness when he's upset about something.
He doesn't handle stress as well as he used to!
But this didn't feel anything like that, that's what worried him!
There was this one, that was fairly close for that size:

M 6.0 - Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge
PAGER - GREENShakeMap - ITsunami Warning Center
Time 2014-07-27 01:28:38 UTC Location23.761°N 45.646°W
Depth10.0km

NOAA is listing it as a 6.6, but it doesn't say what scale that is!
But his pains were 29 hours before that & only lasted a short time.
So that doesn't fit the usual profile!

There was a 2.1 in Virginia about a half hour after his pain.
That's pretty close to us & almost the exact same longitude!
But so small & why would it bother him this time?
So I don't really think it was that.

He does have his eq face on today though.
It's a big vertical wrinkle on both sides of his face.
Guess we'll just have to wait & see again!

I wish you lived close, you'd be welcome to hide out here!
Without old cat here, your dog would be safe!
He growled like a dog when he looked out the window
& saw other cats in our garden!
And once when he was outside,
he chased a huge dog that started to walk through our yard!
Our cats & dogs always got along, but they didn't like outsiders!
Young cat will go hide. She was a stray & is still a little shy!

I loved it when our daughter & her family lived with us!
Especially after they had their twins.
I really got to bond with them!

Hubby's sister came for a visit years ago.
She lived overseas & it was going to be the first time that I had met her.
I was so excited! I thought she would be like him & the rest of his family!
NOT!!! Ha, ha, ha! The only girl in a family of all boys!
Spoiled rotten, with an attitude, & a troublemaker for the fun of it!
She ended up staying for 6 months & ran up a $1,300 phone bill!
So I FEEL your pain!!!

At least they aren't moving in!!!
You can hold your breath for a few days, right?
Or maybe I should say bite your tongue & breathe deeply!!!
Alternately, 'cause I guess there's no way to do it at the same time!!!
Hang in there!
Good luck!

I think that mid Atlantic ridge event was my panic attack yesterday,to be honest. They're all here now, the blethering has commenced, and I'm wondering how to cope with this gracefully. Not feeling any symptoms at all really apart from a mild headache, very sore joints and an almost uncontrollable urge to run for the hills.

I was also wondering about HAARP locations and their latitude. The installation at Gakona in Alaska is at 62 degrees north, and I'm trying to find the locations of the others in Scandinavia and Scotland. I'm just thinking out loud here.

Hope hubby is ok.

a reply to: caitlinfae

I took a quick look around.
This link mentions 3 in Norway, 2 in Germany & 1 in the UK:

www.geoengineeringwatch.org...

The latitudes for those are, 69, 69, 54, 50 & 52.
About halfway down there are some addresses or something for offices,
I think, & Sweden is listed.

It's aaawfully quiet!
I was surprised when I looked today,
how few there have been since I went to bed last night!

And this morning there was a 3.5 in Washington state,
then a 3.6 in Montana, back to back!

Glad you're feeling a little better!
WOQ


Here's a link to an ATS thread about HAARP, that I hadn't read.
There are some links in there & a world map.

I'm starting to sound like chicken little!

Young cat has been trilling, wanting attention ,
& staying under the desk a lot tonight!

Hubby & I have been eating constantly tonight,
like we hadn't eaten in a week or something!

And he's all 'itchy & antsy' he said!
And caught my 'sleeping pill' symptom too!

I've got some ear ringing going on.
And I have 'chatty' fingers tonight.
Don't know how many posts I've done already!
