Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I feel absolutely awful for their families. Indeed, God bless their families.
I am glad the Coast Guard found them. Not ever knowing what happened is the worst.
Sometimes, I think about Amelia Earhart’s plane. We will never know exactly what happened.
Barb - Agreed. Not having tangible evidence of your LO and what happened to them has to be the worst! So hard to process the grief.
Need - I think of her too and have read some accounts, but no one really knows what happened to her.
I'm sorry about your claustrophobia. It must be difficult at times. I don't do well with heights. I'm ok in an airplane but even leaning over a banister can make me feel weird. and I could never do a summersault except in the water.
RIP sub-voyagers.
My dH will not watch the news with me.
I share in the grief, sadness, and losses of everyone here, especially those who are empaths and sensitive to world tragedies.
Very sad and tragic.
I can’t even imagine what your friend is going through. It’s the worst.
I am really weird when it comes to dealing with heights. I’m fine in certain situations and uncomfortable in others.
Any baseball fans out there?
My DH worked in the North tower , left that job a year before 9/11. His former secretary was found sitting near the bottom of a stairwell pretty intact still clutching her purse . Autopsy revealed she succumbed to smoke inhalation , the building collapsed in such a way that she was in a void . Not sure if she died before or after the collapse. My DH also knew a husband and wife who also died, leaving small children behind . My DH knew 7 or 8 people from his floor, 62 nd. who perished . For a good 10 years my DH couldn’t watch videos every time the news would play them on the anniversary, nor would he talk on that day , unless he had to . He used to take our son there on take your kid to work day . My husband’s screen saver on his computer is a picture of our son and my DH on the roof and the roof of the other tower and the sky is behind them .
Yeah, DH and my son have been talking about going to the museum . My son loved riding the train and subway going with Dad to the “ big buildings” when he was young .
I know if DH had been there that day he might not be here now . DH talked about a man on his floor that was in a wheelchair ( paraplegic ) . He wondered if he was there and what happened , did anyone try to help him .

We only have one more shot at winning the Collage World Series.
You know how we were discussing vases for the cemetery the other day?
I like to bring flowers to the hospital, nursing home, my friends when visiting, etc.
I would always become frustrated with how do I travel with them in my car, without the vase and flowers tumbling over in my car.
Anyway, I thought of an easy fix. My husband buys the preserves that come in tall slim bottles. Forgive me, I can’t remember the brand name. I save the empty jars. I place a few flowers in them. These jars fit perfectly in my cup holder so I can transport my flowers safely.
Your DH's containers are a good solution.

We are the champions! Yay!
Techie,
It was an exciting game! I’m sure there were huge celebrations going on in Omaha and Baton Rouge last night.
That sounds wonderful! A no tip vase is so practical for us. Louisiana roads are some of the absolute worst! Seriously, our pot holes are awful.
