OMG

Please let her be okay.

Really hope lou and family are ok, agree it must be terrible for both locals and tourists but it always feels worse when its someone you know.

sarahu · 26/12/2004 14:05

If you CAT me with a number I can try to text people from here - I can say I'm a friend of yours!

Just an awful event and strange how it happend on the first anniversary of the Bam earthquake. I hope Lou and other folk I know out there are okay but it looks as if the death toll is going to run into thousands. It certainly puts our moans and groans into perspective, doesn't it?

I think that marthamoo may have, but not sure. I suspect that SM must know by now.

sarahu, am thinking of you and your friends and family too

pixiefish · 26/12/2004 15:28

the news is getting worse

motherinfestivemood · 26/12/2004 15:42

Thank you for thinking of me: my father's rung and is fine and says my mother will have been as well - and in fact I just got a very cheery email back from a cousin who spent yesterday with my mum, and obviously hasn't heard the news yet.

OMG, how horrible, haven't had the tele on at all today so had no idea, just a thought but has anyone tried to text with the thing switched on the phone that lets you know that the message has been delivered or failed? I hope she and her family are ok.

sarahu · 26/12/2004 16:33
