    Wouldn't it be cool if decades ago, California dug out all these giant artificial lakes in the desert, and dammed them up, with big aqueducts that led to all the major cities? Wow, if the state of California had those, they could fill them up whenever it rained or snowed, instead of making all the rainwater run to the ocean. And what if the water could be used in things like fire hydrants? Or am I just silly?

    It sounds like an interesting idea. I don't know enough about it to know how exactly it would work out but it sounds like is might be feasible.

    IF we begin to redesign the way we construct infrastructure to handle extra water, and channel it into either safe or useful (preferably both) containment areas, that will help.

    This would require massive infrastructure investments from the federal government (in the U.S.).

    I can't imagine that happening these days, though.

    I was being sarcastic. Forgive me. Most of the dozens of lakes in California are man-made reservoirs. And there are countless miles of aqueducts throughout the state. But modern politics have diverted the water from the reservoirs, leaving the floodgates wide open, during years of record rain and snowfall, rather than storing that water.

    My life is a little bit messed up right now. I'm trying to fix things. But I'm so sensitive right now. Physically and emotionally. Memories and unfortunate recent private events in my life.

    Not a happy day. Immense financial burden begins in T minus one. My health is most likely going to go down really quick. I have to be careful. And then there's the emails I have to send. But I will endure. It's my superpower. May I please complain about it though, while i'm slogging through the dead marshes?

    All I have thought about, all day, since the moment I first knew I was pregnant, has been my daughter. Everything in life is for and about her. And to have her gone, it is the greatest heartbreak. I miss her and worry about her more than words can say. It is too quiet here. Too empty. In place of her joyous playful kindness, a void of shadows. I cry every day for her.

    We felt that way after our youngest left. You just have to let the grief play out. There is no substitute.
    On the plus side, we are meeting a new granddaughter this weekend. :)
    (That probably would not have happened if we kept our son at home...)

    I am so worried about my daughter. I don't know where she is or what she is doing. I can't live like this with this amount of ache in my heart for her. It is crushing me. I just want her to come home.

    Did she come home? I hope she's okay.

    She doesn't have phone with her/or you tried to call or text and got no response?

    Pray for my daughter. There are multiple planned riots in my city tonight. They just want to smash things up by any means necessary. My daughter is out at her work right now at a store in downtown. Please pray The Lord's favor over her and her coworkers, in Jesus name.

    @Crossbreed It doesn't matter who's ahead. Anarchosocialists aim by any means necessary for the destruction of any form of government. They are authoritarian, yet they wish for no laws or masters. The election is just another reason to riot.

    Is your daughter doing okay?

    They are just chaos worshippers who want to topple the system in favor of nothing. When it has been tried before, the end result was nasty-Napoleon, the Taliban. The people who start it end up in guillotines manned by those who end it. As for your daughter, blend in, know what to say if spoken to, and get out.

    terribly lonesome. i'm happy for the new wheelchair. i can at least take care of the home. but i am stuck. when my daughter is gone, i am indoors and alone. i can't even step outside to breathe the open air. to remember all that i am blessed with around the home, i guess i need to quote sinead o connor: "i have all that i have requested. and i do not want what i haven't got."

    Rather than a mermaid stuck on a bed, I am now a mermaid in a small swimming pool. That little bit of dignity means the world to me though.

    I am glad that you are at least able to get around the house now.
    Yeshuasdaughter
    A friend who lives in the coast range drove over an hour to get here. She works at a nonprofit. There was a donated manual wheelchair. It doesn't have foot rests or brakes, and only one armrest. But I've been able to do things around the house like a normal girl today. I cannot use it to go anywhere. I'm still stuck in or around the house for at least a month. But I'm so happy. I made strawberry lassi to celebrate.

    I am having a true medical emergency. But 911 can't help. My wheelchair is broken, and I'm almost completely unable to walk now. Even getting a glass of water is extremely difficult. Numotion won't come out to even look at the chair until the 18th, to assess damage and order parts. I am stranded inside, cannot even check mail. Cannot have food delivered, as I can't get downstairs to let them in the bldg.

    That's terrible, if you posted pics of the damage here, maybe someone would have ideas for how to fix it temporarily? It's amazing what a roll of duct tape can do. Or is it completely broken?

    @Misty, it was just a saying. like it's an emergency, but not that kind. it's not something they could or would. but thank you.

    @Forest Cat , it's unfixable. it involves a shock, a caster, and a support arm. similar to if someone's axle broke on their car.

    I see your point. I hope you get it sorted soon.

    I'm glad I know herbalism and first aid. Ran into a medical emergency in the middle of the night involving a burn. Just now settling back in. Gonna try to get a little more sleep. Everyone is safe.
