17 more posts until I hit 5,000, ask me ANYTHING!

I can't believe it's been nine months already since I discovered DU, and now I don't know what I'd do without it! I have to be on DU at least two hours a day now, or I get REALLY cranky! I suppose I may even be addicted, lol!

So, come on and help me reach the magic 5,000, and you can, indeed, ask me anything!

what are your plans for the holidays, got any?

feel free to answer the questions in different posts, since i did ask you more than one.

:hi:

And my son and I will probably be going to my dad's family's Christmas in Toledo, like we usually do. What about you?

Asian? African? and so on...

I like, I like Russian history for some reason, the Civil War, and I especially enjoy Western history (the American West), as well as mid-19th and 20th century American history.

While we were watching! (you said ANYTHING)

and no human being has ever been able to truly figure them out, and we will never be able to do so. One of my cats has taken to peeing on a particular spot on the kitchen counter lately, and we have no idea why!

I didn't know that! No, I'm near Cleveland, Ohio, so I didn't feel a thing! We've had a couple of earthquakes of our own, though, believe it or not, albeit fairly minor ones.

thats the top of the Madrid Fault, home to the largest recorded earthquakes in history.

three earthquakes occurred in 1811 and 1812 near New Madrid, MO. They are among the Great earthquakes of known history, affecting the topography more than any other earthquake on the North American continent. Judging from their effects, they were of a magnitude of 8.0 or higher on the Richter Scale. They were felt over the entire United States outside of the Pacific coast. Large areas sank into the earth, new lakes were formed, the course of the Mississippi River was changed, and forests were destroyed over an area of 150,000 acres. Many houses at New Madrid were thrown down. "Houses, gardens, and fields were swallowed up" one source notes. But fatalities and damage were low, because the area was sparsely settled then.

And I thought where you are was the worst place for earthquakes!

Do you feel any urge to vote for Kucinich in the primaries? Ya know, out of loyalty? ;-)

I've always liked and admired him and was very glad to see him make his comeback.

Who do you like? Who do you think will win?
