Re: Good evening, New Englandddd......

Hey Ridemcowgirl. What type of car did you have at the car show?

Ford Mustang, baby!

Hope everyone is having a good night tonight. I know myself I'm pretty nervous about tomorrow. I'm debating whether or not to go to school. Of course it's probably the smallest school in MA, but the last thing I need for my stress level is some jerk phoning in a fake threat to the school. I was at a different campus of the same school last year when the tragedy happened and it really did a number on me. Sigh. Just me being my regular nervous self.

 

[sueanninct]

Cowgirl - go to school. It's better to focus your mind on something, rather than sit at home and worry. We're having a planting ceremony at my place of business tomorrow.

I am also off to bed. Good night everyone!

 

[Pseudomoniker]

Good nite Jaded and Sueann. I'll be heading off at some point in the next hour in all likelihood. But the later I go to bed, the easier it will be to *stay* asleep the whole night....I hope.

REPOST......I am disappointed that people did not respond to this.

Remembering 9/11........one year later.........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember getting ready to go to the gym when the
first plane crashed into one of the Towers......I remember
at the gym when both Towers collapsed and we were all
watching it on the tv while on the Elliptical trainer, and I
recall letting out this big scream..........I remember racing
home right after and crying......only to have to go to
work for the 3-9pm shift at my job, and to find that CNN
was turned on......

As soon as I got home after the gym I frantically called
some friends who I know that work and/or live in the city
and was unable to get thru on the phones.........but
sent emails .......luckily those friends did not work in
the WTC.....but they were okay.........

Such a beautiful blue sunny day that Tuesday last year
turned into smoky tears.........I remember getting home
from work later that night and I cried.......and called up
friends....and cried some more......

That Friday 9/14 I recall was the "day of rememberance".....
it was a cloudy, rainy day......I remember saying that
"the world was crying".........(fuck, my eyes are welling
up already!) ..........I cried when watching the service
being broadcast from Washington DC........

I remember as a child, whenever me and the family
would drive to JFK to leave for a trip, my mom would
point out the skyline......I will never, ever forget that.
And when walking thru downtown to catch the Staten
Island ferry when I was in college.....passing the area
where the Towers are..........a sight to behold.

I saw Ground Zero for the first time, on my 28th birthday
back in May. I was with a good friend of mine, and one
of the things I wanted to do was to get down to Ground
Zero. It was weird, scary, and very very sad all at the
same time. Seeing the different pictures and memorials
up was real sad and I started crying on the sidewalk. I
could not believe that "there's no more" "I can't believe
they aren't there".......(I'm babbling please forgive me)....
However, I am glad that I got to Ground Zero when I
did......and I know a lot of people, including some good
friends of mine, will not go down there, either too many
memories or too upsetting, and that is understandable.

Last week here in CT, there was a state memorial set
up in honor of CT residents who died in the tragedy,
and the memorial is at Sherwood Island State Park in
Westport........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a lighter note, I want to take the time to say thank you
to all of you.........for being good friends........for being
there.........

United we stand.......together.......

Belated good morning to all.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'll check back after my excellently-scheduled staff meeting.

 

[tigerjen]

Tears in my eyes since 8am this morning.....

heard the names read out loud this morning on tv........
heard the bells ring..........moments of silence.........

My love and friendship goes out to fellow New Englanders
this 9/11......

Good evening, New Englandddddd......

A very good evening to you TJ. I guess everyones eyes are glued to the TV today for the 9/11 memorial to the fallen victims!

This morning the Waterbury Republican had some of the victim's names on the front page. There on the cover was Evan Gillette my nieghbor's bother. It is still hard to believe that we shared a Christmas party December, 2000. Now he's been removed but not forgotten. You would think with Vet Nam and losing close friends that it would become easier! But, it never is.......

Well, hope you have a great evening at work.....

Thank you Jaded.....at least someone finally on this thread
recognized the importance of 9/11..........in our local paper,
CT Post they printed up the names who died in WTC, etc.
that were from CT........really sad..........

I remember the story about your friend that you mentioned
above......it isn't easy......*hugsssssssss*

I have to go grab dinner then watch Bush's speech......I'll
be back here for a very short time tomorrow morning.......

talk to you later sweetie

Ridemcowgirl.............

Well cutie not good enough....

More details.

What year and model stang?

Whats been done to it?

I was the proud owner of a 1967 Shelby GT350. 1 of only 25 factory built Paxton Supercharged cars. It was a deep blue with white stripes. It had a top end of 185 m.p.h.. It would do all that and then some. It was actually better than showroom condition with only 12,000 miles when I had to sell it. My son was about to be born and my then wife need a new car. Something that there was no chance of her getting stuck some where with. Well, my son and daughter are grown up. My wife is now my ex. Well the GT350 is sitting in a collectors garage! Value of that car today is $250,000 if it is a complete matching number car with supporting documentation of origin. Motto of my story? Never ever give up your toys. You'll never get them back...............

Have a great evening and remember to stay in school......

[Ridemcowgirl]

Woo! I'll tell ya I'd be kickin myself if I'd sold that car. I love the Shelbys, they're just so - well are there really any words for em?

 

[Ridemcowgirl]

About 9/11

Woulda posted about it sooner, but with all the fear I was feeling today with going to shool and work, I needed to placate my fears before I started talking about this stuff. I think the media did a good job, I'm glad the tower footage wasn't show a million times. It was all really touching, seeing the people holding photos of their lost loved ones - that's the part that always makes me cry

The way the clouds were in the sky today and it went from light to dark so quickly (at least around here) it was kind of a spooky rememberance. I was thinking to myself "How fitting - the gloom of the dark clouds lay way to a brighter sunshine than before." Maybe a sign of things to come?

 

[Pseudomoniker]

Good evening all.

Hope you made it through the day with a minimum of difficulty. I'm gonna go catch the Pres. speech, but will come back with the Democratic Party's rebuttal.

 

[Jaded1]

RidemCowGirl............

I'd love to see the pictures.....

I know the show well. I was there with my son when he owned his tri black 92 Mustang LX Convertable. It to had a list of modifications longer than your arm. He was running a roller bearing Ford GT40 engine with a Paxton Surcharger. I gave him a little bit of a hand with the engine.

Guess you could say he got hooked when we campaign a Super Pro Camero at Englishtown, N.J. We made it to the Summer National (invitation only) sponsored by Bud. We made it all the way to the semi finals to be eliminated by the Ford Motor Co. Probe. We were running the quarter mile in the low 7 sec range at 183 m.p.h. It was a wild summer.......

I feel the need for speed..............

Someone recognize the importance? Well, only one person commented on my posting of peace in this thread, and isnt that what this world should be about peace???? and where does peace begin? with US, each individual. Making peace and finding common ground. If it can be AMAZING what this country is like today, UNITED at least one day, to put down religious, ethnic and racial differences, to come together, why cant it continue? If "we" have become divided because of some misunderstandings...why cant we re-unite? UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL....

9-11

Good evening, everyone. My plan was to post when I got home from work, after a day of reflecting. But I came home to discover that we had lost power. We just got it back 20 minutes ago.

It's been a very long day, and a difficult one. My uncle saw things from a distance a year ago. He works in Washington, DC, close to the pentagon. He was walking out of his building when he saw a plane flying by, close to the ground. He immediately ran inside and called my aunt to tell her he was ok, figuring there would be a story on the news about a plane crash. It wasn't until an hour or so later that he found out the plane he saw had hit the pentagon.

I am very fortunate not to have lost anyone on that day, and I thank God for it every day since. My heart goes out to everyone today.

I received this poem at work. I don't know who wrote it, but I wanted to share it.

One

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
we became one color.

As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building,
we became one class.

As we lit candle of waiting and hope,
we became one generation.

As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, we became one gender.

As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
we became one faith.

As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
we spoke one language.

As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
we became one body.

As we mourned together the great loss,
we became one family.

As we cried tears of grief and loss,
we became one soul.

As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes,
we become one people.

We are:
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people

We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.
