My coworkers and I were at a restaurant celebrating a birthday when the earthquake hit. The customers all stayed seated and rode it out, those already served actually calmly continued eating after the shakes. The servers, restaurant staff, etc, all ran out of the building enmass. It was pretty funny.

Hey to you, Pilar, have you been behaving...or better yet, misbehaving. Anna, those are wonderful sentiments. Hello TXGrandma, say hello to Erich for me.

Sue - what a beautiful garden you have. And such a gorgeous sky, not even a wiff of smog in the air. How is B2 by the way? Cute as ever I hope. DonnaKat - I so envy you for that picture with GB. He looks sinfully scrumptious. How were you able to breathe being cheek to cheek with HRH. I would have and probably would have fainted from hyperventilating. Anyhoooo, have a good night ladies.

Hello, Haven't been here for a while. I miss GALS so much. Hopefully soon, I should be back online again and can check in daily. Sue - Very sorry to hear about Bryan and Jane. I now have so many picts of Gerry up in my cubbie at work that at least once a week, someone would stop by to chat about all the picts. Usually the women would gush, seems Gerry has quite a few fans at my work. And the men would go "Sooo, is he your boyfriend or what?" Right, I wish. Well, just drop in to say hello, got to go to bed now, have to be at work at 7 tomorrow. Bye all. Ann

Hello Gals, I miss GALS. I think you ladies will like this, I met a Gerry's convert earlier this week. A woman from another dept at my office walked by my cubbie and did a double take, she saw all the Gerry's picts that my friends decorated my cubbie with for my birthday and she stopped by let me know that she "met" Gerry. Apparently she saw "PS I love You" and went home and googled him and has been visiting different fan sites to read more about Gerry. She started talking about him and sounds so much like she's caught GALS. She said the close-up of his eyes :wub: in PSILY was what did it. Well, it's late and I have to work early tomorrow, so better get my butt home and in bed. See ya

Happy New Year to the wonderful GALS of the SC. It has been great getting to know you all. Even though I lurked more often than I posted, I enjoyed the time I spent her on GALS, both up here in the fresh air and in the gutter. I will not be around for a while, cable & internet expenses are some of the expenses that I need to cut back on, so I will not have access to the net either at home or at work. Expect I will be on withdrawal from GALS for a while, but by logging on only occasionally the last few months, I think I've weaned mysefl enough. Hopefully, my financial situation will improve and I'll be seeing you all again.

Happy Holidays to all the Gals of the SC. Have a Joyful Christmas!

I'm so happy to see Gerry's gorgeous face on PSILY posters everywhere. I was at The Block in Orange on Friday and what did I see as I got out of the car, PSILY poster. And, again today as I entered Main Place in Santa Ana for lunch, first thing I saw was Gerry on the poster.

Gerry and his twin brother

Happy Monday Gals, I'm loving all the new pictures we have of Gerry's. He looks yummyluscious. I especially like the after-screening party pictures, seems like everyone were having a great time. I was so looking forward to Gerry doing the talkshows round, but with the strike, I guess there won't be any. Thank you to the lovely So Cal gals for braving the cold and crowds to greet Gerry and posting about it here. Mel, your niece is a cutie and your sister looks lovely. Have a great Monday

I know my age, but my (older) sister uses "Rissa" math when she gives her age, so I check with her weekly to find out how old I am. LOL

Congrats to Bella! Wonderful news! What a creative way to raise money for a very worthy cause! I caught my first trailer for "PS I love you" Gerry looks great. Have a wonderful day, GALS.

Happy Monday, Lovely Gals! Thanksgiving was loud and full of laughter as usual when my family get together for any occasions. We counted and there must have been about 50 people there at some point. As we, my siblings and I, have grown older, we have grown wiser and treat any times that we could get together as moments to be celebrate and treasure. Yeah, I get to decorate my cubie today for Christmas. I mentioned it a few days ago and was told by a co-worker that no decoration because there maybe someone who doesn't feel like celebrating Christmas or is going through a bad time, but I walked by this same co-worker on Wednesday and she has decoration up, so I'm going to put mine up too Irish - So glad to see you had B2 with you for 3 days. He is such a cutie. Well, gotta get ready for work, later ladies.

Check out the 2 for $10 bin at Walmart for both Timeline and Tomb Raider 2. Both should be in there.

Susan, I love the Happy Birthday collage of Gerry's picture. OMG, I would love that for my birthday sign. Sadly people I know still haven't discoverered Gerry yet and still goes "Gerard who???"...GRRRRRRRRRRRRR Guess I can always make my own collage.

Happy Birthday, Gerry! Hope to see more of your movies in the coming year...and more of you too . Ann ps: If you're ever bored with LA, take a ride down the coast, we're very hospitable down here in the OC and the air is better.

Posting this picture just because...

Hello Luvly Gals, Irish - Love that picture of B2, as always, he is adorable. I'm glad to hear things are better. As Susan said, things are improving here in OC. This morning, when I first went outside, I couldn't detect the smell of smoke in the air as I have all last week. My eyes don't hurt as much anymore. This evening, on the drive home, my view of the hills wasn't obscured by smoke and blue sky was peeking through. One of those 16 families who lost their home came through my line at the store yesterday, it's a young couple with a baby. They seemed in good spirit, told me a little bit about how they've been roughing it at the campground where they evacuated to, but have been relocated to a better place. It seems they have received financial help from the red cross and was there to replace the necessary items. Friday and Saturday, there were waves of firefighters coming through to get warmer clothings and other items, they seemed tire and very dirty but cheerful. They were all from out of county, here to help Orange County. The sweetest thing was a girls soccer team (8-10 yr-olds) came in to buy pillows for the evacuees, they raised some money and bought the pillows themselves. I was buried in pillows with my ears ringing from their excited chatters (more like screams), but it was wonderful to see kids doing that. Goodnight ladies, sweet dream of our Scot. Ann

Thank you, Chelle. Having difficulty breathing, not from the smoke & fire, but in a good way. :tasty:

Hello Lovely Gals, Welcome Pammie, you've certainly landed in the right place. We are all hopelessly hooked on Gerry. LOL Thank you all for the prayers. The wind has blessedly died down, the air is cooler and humidity is higher. Thanks to our brave firefighters, the fires are somewhat controlled. They deserved a loud round of applause, I went to bed last night in my safe, air-cond room and could not help but felt guilty thinking how hot it must be for them so near the fire and wearing those suits. I promise the next time that cute fire fighter comes thru my line at the store, I'll let him flirt all he wants. We're still getting ash where I am and the air is very smoky but the blue sky is showing thru now at times, so things are definitely improving. G'nite ladies. Ann

LadyFran and Peggy, I'm very sorry to learn of your sad news. My thoughts are with you. Ann

Sue - B2 is simply adorable and he does look like he should be walking soon, such a big boy. And talking too, that 2nd picture there looks like he wants to say something to Grandma. How cute is that. Mel - Good luck, keeping my fingers, toes and eyes too crossed that you get that call back for 2nd interview. Lish's littlest Spartan is not the littlest anymore and that's news to cheer about . Hello to all the SC Gals. Ann

Good morning ladies, Hope everyone is having a great weekend. TXGrandma, let me know what you think of Vishous. I got the book last week but haven't had time to read it yet, maybe tonight. He's a little scary, so it's going to be an interesting read. Irish, hope you're enjoying her time with B2. Every, have a great day

Feel better, you ladies with cuts and scrapes and ill health. I can totally simpathize with the 2 left feet/can't walk and talk at the same time problems. I was telling my friend today that my knees are perpetually with scars and bruises. Mel, sorry, in such a hurry this morning and didn't see your post. Good luck on the interview. I've found that just being yourself is a good interview tool. Have a great evening, everyone
