I'd just gotten up and turned on the TV. Peter Jennings was on, which he never was that early in the day. The first plane had hit. When second one hit, of course we all knew it was no accident. I watched TV like most of us the next few days. I didn't get scared until they hit the Pentagon. That was when I thought that they could be Anywhere. I watched the Towers fall and didn't cry a tear. It was about a week and a half later that it finally hit me.

How did you all hear? Were any of you flying at the time?


Thank you for remembering this important event flowerforyou

I was a police officer working the night shift. Stopped in at Momma Ruth's Cafe in Providence, KY to grab a drink, then hit the streets and everyone was standing up, watching the television, crying. I spilled my drink all over the counter as she handed it to me and I stood there, watching the twin towers burning. The streets were quiet for the first time ever that night. The next day, I donated blood. It was not long after wards that we started working "Anthrax" scares every time someone opened an envelope not knowing who it was from. I also prayed harder than I had ever prayed in my whole entire life.

I am so accustomed to a plethora of nudges piled up when I log on, yet have none today!

I feel so naked ... like an episode of The Emperor's New Clothes ...

... Do you look forward to your nudges also? Or are they all just a kick in the arse, I mean paw ... :tongue:



I sent you some luv, sis! laugh



How funny! Our nudges must have crossed in transmission, Myra! ... flowerforyou

Great minds think alike, and their hearts beat in synchronization ...

I ALWAYS love you and your nudges; I've grown accustomed to your face ... laugh


tongue2 As have I grown accustomed to yours, as well!

When I first married my husband, we were given this book from the Preacher at our church about building a strong relationship and tips on working through problems every new couple faces. He and I would lie in bed at night and take turns reading. It was very romantic and I loved to hear the sound of his voice - just wished we had learned something slaphead
