I live in a desert in the middle east! :D It's an inhabited place though, so I don't think it's where your dad meant.

There was a meteor shower for a number of days 2 weeks ago; my kids went to catch a look. I saw a "upping star" (it was going up from my perspective, not down). There are some street lights so noty perfect clear night vision, but still fun to try to see.

All part of the wonder I guess.

It was a little weird,we also felt it was a bit shady during the eclipse.I am glad to have seen it without harming my eyes which is really easy to do on this day.

They said, the eclipse made it feel cooler where ever it happened. Which is a nice reprieve in the summer heat.

The cool we felt was very short.It was only cooler when it was dead center on the sun.

Yep thats what many people were saying, cool for short period of time, and once eclipse was over back to being hot.

Just enough blocking to cut off the suns rays.

I wouldnt mind the sun rays being blocked here, in the hottest part of the day until the summer finishes.

It will never happen here oh well

There is suppose to be another eclipse in 2024, but not sure where they think it will be.

right that's still a long way

Its only seven years, the last one in the states was 1979.

question for you, since your my battle guru!! If you use the Dredged Up Stone Idol in your wardrobe can it still be used for battle? My battle pet is tier 11 is that high enough to battle the new opponent with the Dredged Up Stone Idol ? If I use the Dredged Up Stone Idol first to battle will it be destroyed in battle? I want to find out if it disappears in battle should I go ahead and buy another one?

Oh yea compared to that yea XDDD who knows where I'll be in 2024 😂

You just never know where you will be, such is life.

let me check for you real quick ok

and the next total eclipse is July 2, 2019 although unless your in the south Pacific you won't see it, it will be seen in the bottom part of South America

Okay Thank You! Interesting I didnt know about that eclipse.

Sending positive energy and prayers to all who need them. Anxiety keeps me away from the forums - I keep typing one thing then erase it all and just send vibes without comment.

I'm a Canuck so if you want maple candies pm me and I am totally up for sending you care packages ;)

The eclipse in 2019 is lunar, so staring at it is much safer ;) Source

Just wanted to give everyone an update on my sister Karen. She had her TIPS procedure on Monday but wasn't doing well for the past two days. I stayed with her and finally came home last night. She is finally doing better this morning. The procedure went off without a hitch but she's very sore and she had trouble with no bm's. Finally, bm's started last night so she is a lot clearer of mind today. Hopefully, she'll get to come home soon from the hospital. Keep her in your prayers please.

It's good to hear that Karen had a successful procedure am sorry that she is so uncomfortable but glad that her system is functioning finally the way it should. Hope that she will be fine in the near future, but she will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks sweetie.

keeping her in my prayers!
