Fine so far, thanks, though I would be unsurprised if we have more tremors. Also, tonight's news bulletins suggest that the epicentre was nearer to Palmer, which is a lot closer to us. This suggests to me that the early reports said Mannum because Mannum is the big town nearest the actual epicentre. Much of the area is farmland and bush with few people.

Stay safe!

I had a thought for a new thread in the Personal section, wondering if others would use it...basically it's a bit akin to the Comfort Corner, but more about 'I am angry about X, here is why, what can I do about it' rather than the 'X happened' vibe in the CC...anyone angry enough to take advantage of such a thread, for venting or other purposes?

I probably would! Many of us sort of do that in the Comfort Corner already, we ask for advice along with our venting, but it might be good to have two different threads for problems where people want advice and those where they don't. (It might require editing the intro for the Comfort Corner if we go this route btw)

Glad to hear you're okay in the West Island!

It sounds like this is more solutions-based and personal, rather than venting?  But something outside of the 'How to Adult' scope?

Thanks, Wavewright. Haven't heard Oz called the West Island in ages. My NZ-born late brother-in-law used to call it that.

Yeah, I've picked up a bit of the NZ-Australia dynamic since moving here.  'Tis in jest, though, coming from me, please be reassured.

Whoever starts the thread can name it. I'm pretty sure most threads I start are cursed on this particular board...
