11-Sep

Hey everyone,

Time goes by soooo fast, treasure and appreciate the people in your lives. (even if they get on your last nerve.. 🙂) because you'll never know when they will no longer be around.

I'm feeling kind of sad today. I lost an ex-coworker and an long time neighbor on 9/11. It seems here in NY that somebody knows someone that knows someone who lost a loved one.

I'm only a couple of train stops away from ground zero (formerly WTC). I was opting to stay home today, not out of fear but out of respect but decided to come in today.

They are wondering what to do with the site area. Some politicians want office space. Come on and give me a break treetrunk the economy! More decent individuals would perfer a memorial, which in my opinion seems to be more suitable. I mean think about it, would you want to work or conduct business on a site that once was WTC. I would fell sick to my stomach just coming into work everyday by the near thought of it. A park memorial, museum of some sort, etc... with a wall with the names commemorating those who lost their lives would be more appropriate. That's what I would call honor for them and their families they left behind.

To everyone out there, whether you live in NY or elsewhere God bless you, keep your head up and I hope that you are doing well.

I didn't say treetrunk the economy( that's whack) Duncan replaced my foul language.

ML,

I am so sorry about your losses.

Your post really touched me.

I mentioned on another post that all I could do today was lay in bed watching the specials on tv and crying and crying and crying, all day and all night. I know that's so incredibly unhealthy : ( ...but then I lit all my candles and said prayers for the people who lost people, and the whole country.

I feel so depressed, but we will be okay.

P.S. I agree, a memorial seems the most dignified and fitting thing to do.

Love to all.

ML:

You really have a heart of gold.

Office Space. Give me a break -- like we don't have enough of that in this city. The proper thing to do in memory of the victims would be a memorial site. Can you say crooked politicians? No wonder why we're in trouble.

HELLO!!!!

ML

Thanks TM for the comment. Have been since birth. LOL

Hello?? I was commenting on what you heard about it ML and giving my two cents. My comments weren't meant for you -- not knowing what you were saying. It was meant for the politicians and what you heard. Hope that is straight now.

ML, in real simple words, "I agree". I was frustrated as to what you heard about what they want to do with that site; that is why I commented like I did. Now do you get it? Not sure how you took it though, but please, don't scream. It's not needed. Now are we back on track here?

🙂

No don't get me wrong. See how things can look different when you can't hear it.

When I said HELLO!! it meant that I was agreeing with you sidekick. it's phrased Hel-lo.(maybe it's a cultural thing) It's like saying you're right or I agree.

I hope this was cleared up.

ML

Yes I agree. Things can be taken out of context with this writing. It's frustrating to express things face to face sometimes -- even more frustrating on a message board. I think that's why some of us get in a stew over things at times.
