Since the earthquake what will you do differently?

I have stopped worrying about the spider with a body the size of a big toe nail and a leg span that is bigger than my open hand that is roaming freely in my living room

Nothing much! Be more careful crossing the road maybe.

Have an extra beer every night to make sure I am not woken at some ungodly hour by a vibrating bed

Oh my goodness, I would have to move out!  First thing I buy when I arrive in Calis is a bug spray for the cockies and spiders.  Last autumn we were living in fear of the huge spiders here that seemed to have doubled in size.  We even purchased a hand held vac to catch them as we are both "girlie" scared.  Some were so big they wouldn't go up the dust-buster!!!

Not read Facebook posts on the Earthquake

Sadly after the 2004 earthquake I mentioned (where standing doing nothing like a wally was my choice of reaction) I didn't do anything different at all for later ones. Always went for the same - just standing wanting it all to go away

That is the a similar system that I have always used for all types of scary moments - and I'm still OK - well sort of.

since the earthquake I am trying really hard not to sweat the small stuff in life  :)all my years of worrying about everything and I have to say earthquakes was one of my worries of course I knew when we bought our house Turkey was on a fault line but I tried to push it to the back of my mind as deep down(excuse the pun) I never really thought I would ever experience one, I used to laugh and say trust me to fall in love with a country that is prone to earthquakes! and Sunday has kind of made me realise there are some things in life you just can not change. Sunday I was 100% never returning to Turkey ever and also still felt that way Monday, today after all that I have read on CBF and in particular Eric's advice and knowledge I am now slowly thinking about looking for flights for the summer.
I really am trying not to be such a worrier since Sunday so maybe some good has come out of it for me  :)though I am not in a hurry to repeat the experience any time soon

I will wear sandals to go to the pool area so I can run on the stoned road around instead of going back in for them. !! Barrie said "while you are in there bring your purse" once a Yorkshireman always a Yorkshire man. lol. x

Good for you Karennina; I know you were a tad upset and I am glad you found Eric's information useful.

I haven't read it all myself yet but I am aware that the tatty Migros carrier bag that constitutes Doğan's earthquake bag containing one pair of jeans, one pair of shorts, one pair of trousers, a pair of flip flops 2 1/2 litre bottles of water and a pack of my favourite biscuits is not yet up to scratch
