I remember this day just like it was yesterday. I was at work and it came over the announcement speaker about what had just happened. Our boss wanted us to say a prayer for all the families.

-09/11/01-

The saddest day of my 60 years on earth.

#1.1 Mayhem on 09/07/11 at 03:44 PM

It was indeed sad but not as sad as the day my dad died. My Uncle Vincent would always say family first. Have you been in the towers Sheila?

#1.1.1 Arht Luvver on 09/08/11 at 07:19 AM

Yeah I know. I was sad too on the day music died. Don McClean's American Pie says it all. Didn't know you was kin to van Gogh. Mayhem van Gogh? That was terrible about Vincent cutting off his ear. Drugs will do that sometimes. Take heed. But, Vincent only had to listen to his chubby old lady half the time. Family first. Sheila reads Watchtower mag.

No, I have not. It is on my bucket list, along with the Vietnam Wall and Smithsonian.

#1.1.2.1 Not Mayhem on 09/08/11 at 03:44 PM

Mayhem: "Have you been in the towers Sheila?"

Sheila: "No, I have not. It is on my bucket list"

You better revise that bucket list and plan on visiting a local firetower or climb a cell tower because the Twin Towers are gone...gone...gone! Ask Mayhem, he was a regular.

#1.1.2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 09/09/11 at 10:22 AM

Let me correct that comment for people like you with sawdust for brains. My bucket list includes a visit to Ground Zero. I never knew The Twin Towers existed until they were destroyed. Is that more clear for you Sweetheart?

#1.1.2.1.1.1 Not Mayhem on 09/09/11 at 04:33 PM

"Sawdust for brains"...me? Don't be nasty! I'm smart!

"I never knew The Twin Towers existed until they were destroyed."

Have you been under a rock for the last 39 years? jeez louise!
I knew North Tower(1) was finished in 1972 South Tower(2) was finished in 1973.

That construction event was in all the papers and on television, even in Pike County.

I knew that Ramzi Yousef and his merry band of Islamic extremist co-conspirators parked a bomb laden Ryder rental truck in the garage below the 2 towers. Ramzi lit the fuse and ran like a sprinter to escape the anticipated blast in which he hoped to topple Tower 1 into Tower 2 thus bringing them both down. The bomb went off and killed 6 people and injured over a thousand. That death count and injuries were far less than Ramzi had planned if both towers collapsed.

That terrorist event was in all the papers and on television, even in Pike County.

Is that more clear for you Sweetheart? Nope! It isn't CLEARER..MORE or less!

Sweetheart? WOW! Does that mean we're going steady? Ask Mayhem to show you his old photos of the WTC back in the day. Old public figure won't be jealous.

This is a wonderful ad from Budweiser made in honor of our Fallen Ones of 9/11.

It has only been aired one time.

It is so good. See it before someone deletes it from utube.

Thank You George J. Mickle, I feel very special that You spend so much time thinking about Me.

My thought for the day,,,,,,,,"It is perfectly okay to have enemies. It means you took a stand for something you believed in."

#5.1 Realist on 09/12/11 at 10:55 AM

What a perfect thought. You and Obama both stand for something you believe in, CHANGE.

Important thing: despite being sucker punched and staggered, we're still standing as a nation while others fall apart. God, please continue to bless the USA, even when we don't deserve You.
