Excellent news!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Let's hope that it is good news from here on out!

Amen...

This is an informative article about the radiation particles and it traveling.

Worried about a radioactive ocean? A reality check:

Some things we just don't know about, but the chernobyl accident short term effects have been very helpful to researchers, so I am encouraged.

I am especially thankful that Japan may now be able to do recovery and rebuild. And hopefully the high doses of radiation particles won't fall over populations. I know Jon would like to be able to take his children outside without having to wear some sort of breathing mask.

Jon, glad to see you posting here! Praying for you and your family everyday.

Anyone heard any good news today.

Nope. The winds have shifted and radioactive rain is falling on my house today...

Stay inside and sending prayers your way. So sorry.

Adding prayers for you, JuneyBug.

All of the different governments tell us that it isn't really that bad - but I was raised to never trust the words of a government official... DH had to drive down south today and is going to be in and out of the rain all day. I made him take a pack of baby wipes to wipe the rain off if it got onto him as that is our only defense against absorbing it.

So sorry to hear that, JuneyBug. Use umbrellas and plastic rain coats to keep water off too.

JuneyBug - So sorry to hear about the rain possibly being dangerous right now. I would definitely use all precautions. Hopefully the government officials aren't lying this time.

I've not heard any news today about Japan. You know what they say ... No news is good news! :-)

I think that they must finally be getting a handle on the nuclear part of the triple disaster, I am hoping that house building and repair start soon as it is spring ☺ finally.

An American builders company is building thousands of pre fabricated homes to ship over there right now.

That will help out a lot!☺ I suppose that furniture makers all over the world are ramping up their shipments, too.

Don't know about those but it was all over my news a couple days ago about Viceroy builders getting a call from the government contracting them for thousands of homes as fast as they can build them. They accepted. Was looking good yesterday, had lots of it going. They said there was over 350,000 homeless and they were gonna get them in homes asap.

Oh Juney, please know we are praying for you and everyone that is in this dangerous Zone.

Thank you so much, it is sad that the recovery is to take so long and the aftershocks continue.
The schools up north are working on trying to consolidate students and open, as they traditionally do in early April: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704587004576244161458413524.html

A few hours ago they had another 7.4 earthquake in Japan. Jon needs our prayers as he was already so down before this .(((((Hugs)))))
June, praying for you and all the people in South Korea.(((((Hugs))))
Jan, that's a good news about the new houses!

Here is a link and you can go to other places here also on the news cast and get more info.

Oh no, I thought I heard that on the Radio this morning, and then I thought maybe I'm hearing things. How horrible.
A.

Hey guys we are used to earthquakes here, they happen. Nuclear disasters, perhaps! We have to live with these things so we do, Just think there for the grace of god go I.

Yeah, your 'aftershocks' would qualify as our major quakes! How is your house doing with all of this rockin' & a' rollin'?

No doubt! Talk about walking on shaky ground! I hope there are no more repeats of intense quakes like this recent one. Sheesh!

Got your family in my prayers, Jon! Please be safe!

Amen ... ( Still praying for you guys over there)

Hi guys. I must confess to having a hard time keeping up with the responses from y'all but it's nice work!
The house is still standing, I really don't know how as we have had so many aftershocks, they say for another six months we will have them. Shaky ground, right on the money with that comment! LOL.
Thank you ALL for your kindness and prayers, GOD BLESS!
Jon

Jon - Sorry to hear that it may be 6 months more worth of after-shocks! I hope you get your home repaired and safe again. It's amazing that it has held up so well despite the many strong quakes. I hope things start getting on the road to recovery ASAP! We are praying for you, your family, and all of Japan!

I now live in the house of the lord which is unshakable! Can never be destroyed or overcome for he has given something to me in the shape of the most wonderful people I ever had the privilege to meet!

Jon

Congratulations JON! I know angels are singing in heaven and bells are ringing. You hang in there my friend. We are all pulling for you. HUGS!

Best place to live, I agree!

Amen, Jon. Amen! ♥

Jon, what beautiful words! Bless you and your family and our friends who have been helping you so much!
I I have a hard time catching up with you guys, but keeping Jon and his family in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

Hugs,
Adina

Hi y'all and thanks! The shaking is still going on and their now saying we're in for increased activity for the next 5 to 10 years. The nuclear plant in Fukushima is still not anywhere near under control but radiation has fallen a little here. Rainy season is on us, everything is rushing out of the ground especially the weeds! Next we've the darn mosquitoes to put up with! What a life!!

Jon - keeping you and all in your dilemma in our thoughts and prayers. You are such an inspiration - thank you.

Jon, thinking of you everyday and praying for you all to be safe. Life goes on and you are too! I hope you are gardening like always.

Hugs,
Adina
