it is just so sad all these earthquakes everywhere. Some scientists are saying we might be next according to the ring of fire that goes around the Pacific for earthquakes. Not something I could deal with I don't think since I am a panicky person

Well, I live in Tokyo and that's completely untrue! They test the water here everyday and they found slightly higher radioactive iodine levels-so they suggested not to use tap water for baby formula. As far as washing and non-infant drinking water, there is no problem. Please try not to exaggerate what's going on here unless you see it for yourself! It just makes everything worse for those of us here that are trying to get on with our lives!

On the positive note, I was told by a postal clerk that there is a call out in the Portland area for 1000 quilts to Japan. I wish I knew more, but maybe other posters from the Portland area can help with more information. QFK's is currently working on arrangements to have they're quilts hand delivered to children in Japan. Just think of how many we could send over there if even half of use made one! :thumbup:
