just had to post this one again. sorry for the repeats.
Very often life gets in the way, or time heals and we tend to not remember the horror that went on during the time.
This is pics from 911 I was sent in the email. it is a powerpoint/website...so you need internet and powerpoint. 9-11-2001. http://d.yimg.com/kq/groups/2947930/256244926/name/911AerialPhotos.pps
also. dont forget Oklahoma bombing. It was 4-19-1995.
I have not made it to new york, but I did make it to oklahoma.
I have a family member that was almost caught in that mess, he usually goes to the library across the street, however, that morning his cat was sick, so he just dropped off the books and went home. It happened shortly after he left the area, but before he got home.
Cass and I went on a vacation, and stopped there. The media was everywhere. Apparently they were waiting for the sentencing to be announced for one of the two suspects, I dont remember now. What I remember was pretty bad. A older person, probably someone's grandma or wife, was still torn up and was not able to walk to the site from the parking area, it was still too raw, 2 years later. The memorial had not been built yet, still a chain link fence. I took some pictures that are put awaysomewhere. I turned my back to the chainlink fence and took pictures of the building that was across the street. The whole face of the building was gone. It looked like boxes of rooms. no outter wall. You could see the twisted metal from the frame of the building. Suffice to say, between the lady that was still horror stricken and could not make it to the site, to the media that was all over the place, not letting people have their space at all, and the building across the street that was still partially standing, you could feel what had happened there, could feel the spirits looking for peace.
It is something I will never forget.
As for NY...I know where I was at the time. Work. We have vendors and customers there. I remember calling one of them, to see if she was ok. She told me, she worked down the street from the twin towers. Was not able to get ahold of her child or the daycare, and their building was in lockdown. She was not able to leave. I can only imagine being in that situation.
A friend of mine's brother worked at the pentagon. apparently the plane there, stopped on the other side of the wall of his office. Amazing stories one never forgets.

history book lovers.....
CRY!!!!! or Drool!
I found at a local thrift store.....History of the American Nation, Jackman, vol 1-3, 6-9. You would not believe the freaking price......wow.... We are looking for vol 4 and 5 same year.
What is weird is that there are a few marked, copyright 1911, reprint 1915, a few marked copyright 1911 updated and reprinted in 1920, and then one that just has copyright 1920, different type in the copyright section.
It also has Theodore Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland as part of the authors on this too.
So I guess that means of this 1 set, we have 3 different printings of them.
your thoughts?

Interesting reading.
Here is a blog about a blog.
http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?ID=SINCEREONE
Here is my sparkpeople blog...
I went to the doctor yesterday because I was sick. He renewed my phentermine...which seems to help. He had me keep a food diary, which I keep most days. He said the point he wants to make is to look for a pattern in my eating. He said...for example...he likes to eat double stuff oreo's at 930 every night. so to break the habit...he said...he would need to eat something smaller/healthier--say a handful of walnuts at 9pm...then he would not crave the oreo's at 930. I found this an interesting concept. So now...I need to go back over my food journal...and see if there is a pattern. He said...we may not think we can change things or change a pattern....but he said it is there.
I think this guy is rather smart and has rather studied the obesity/weight loss things out there. A couple years ago...he went to a symposium on obesity. He said...they showed some slides/presentation...and compared...that people who have an issue with weight, when they have favorite item in front of them.......their brain pictures (I am guessing cat scans, etc) look the same as an alcoholic when they drink alcohol. I find that interesting. I have been in al-anon for a while and listen to AA speaker tapes etc also...to help with my recovery. If Alcoholics process alcohol in their bodies differently than non-alcoholic folks....I am thinking that the folks that have trouble "stopping eating" or other weight problems.....may also process food differently than those that do not have as bad a food/weight problem.
Very interesting.
Inside and outside influences, many of which we do not have the ability to control...and yet...some we do.
Happy New Year...Ya'll~Food for thought....probably safer than a cheeseburger.
