Welcome to Gaia! ::

um... I remember where I was. at the time I homeschooled and I lived in NY. My mom came into my room while I was in school, and she was all tweaking out, and she babbled some nonsense about how planes and towers, when I ran downstairs, th news video was on and I got there just in time to see the second plane hit... live. Five people died in our town, and a lot more were close. One guy I knew was two buildings over, and he had to be hosed down to get the ashes off, wrapped in a newspaper, and boated off the island... and don't insult Bush too much. I don't like the guy either, but at least he did something when we were attacked. who's to say someone else wouldn't have?

Well, this turned into a big "remeber the twin towers thing" but I'm not complaining.

I agree, Bush is annoying, but think of it this way, in four years we will probably be underthe rule of Hilary Clinton.

Anyway, Two Towers: My father was taking my brother and I to school ( I was in seventh grade at the time) and we heard it on the radio. At first I thought it was a joke, like that one radio thing where on Haloween they read over the radio that the world was being invaded by aliens, but finally accepted it. When I got to school I told everyone I could at breakfast, then when school actuall started I ran and told the teachers and we ended up watching the attack all morning, didn't switch except for the reading period, where we watched more of the attack, then went back to our classrooms and watched it the rest of the day, except during lunch. At least, my class did. I don't know about the other people in my school.

Also I remember ( just to break the twin towers mem. thing, or try to) one of my little brothers slamming into our woodsove when he went to sit down on a cushion he had placed in front of the t.v. ( he jumped for it) and had to get stitches in his head. Then he got them out a week later. Day after that it is back to the emergency room for more stitches because he stepped on a rail road tie. Briliiant, isn't he? He once also ran around with the pooper scooper handle in his mouth, tripped, and it went through the roof of his mouth. This was before the stitches, about two years before we even moved to the house where he got them. Also, I remember another brother, six now, at the age of one swallow a rubix cube sticker and he had to go to a childrens hospital to get it removed, they didn't know what it was at first. We got to stay home from school that day, he had it removed at midnight, and it was yellow.

And then there are all the bad memories I'd rather not explore...

Nice. Funny to. And what a kind old man. You're from england aren't you?

No, I'm sorry. I live in Colorado, I recognized your words from books.

I don't really care where people were born all that much... Oh well! Lal!

eek You know more about him than I do...

Mind you, that's not surprising!

I remembeer 9/11 vaguely i mean it didn't really concern me at the time becuase i'm Canadian. Of course i'm deeply sorry for all the families that lost someone inthe attack. I'm just pissed off at Bush for going about stopping 'Terrorisim' by starting a war, there had to have been a better way. I have other issues with American people but none relavent to the 9/11 topic.

My issue is the stupid BORDER being closed to CANADIAN BEEF because of two cases of Mad Cow Disease especially since Cattle farmer's have had several cases of Mad cow disease, and the fact that the governments been trying to cover that up. Tell me is it fair that it's okay for the US to have Mad Cow in their beef but as soon as any other country does, they close the border and refuse to open it. To me that doesn't sound very fair.
