  great thread rebel8,

  today is my sister BD, I called her when I saw this thread...she has mix feeling about 9/11.

  On the day this disaster happen, I was at work (front desk/night audit) and I was ready to leave, the TV was on CNN in the breakfast area. We had some guest eating breakfast, my co-worker told me to come over and we saw the replay of the first plane hit one of the towers. Most of the guest stop eating and were shocked. All of a sudden the phones start ringing like crazy. I remember one guest that was checking out of his room, he mentioned just happened on TV, he has never seen anything quite like this before and this will affect all of us. I left work and woke up my children for school and turn on the TV, just then the second plane hit the other tower. I was glued to the TV all day and watch the horrors of this disaster. A couple of days later, the hotel gets a memo. from head office, informing us about the NY Hilton and how to plan for guest evacuation/emergencies.

  to all the victims and familes of 9/11.

  Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) Alan Jackson

  Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day

  Were you in the yard with your wife and children

  Or workin' on some stage in LA

  Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke

  Risin' against that blue sky

  Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor

  Or did you just sit down and cry

  Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones

  And pray for the ones who don't know

  Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble

  And sob for the ones left below

  Did you burst out with pride for the red,white and blue

  And the heroes who dies just doin' what they do

  Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer

  And look at yourself and what really matters

  I'm just a singer of simple song I'm not a real political man

  I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran

  But I know Jesus and I talk to God

  And I remember this from when I was young

  Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us

  And the greatest is love

  Where were you when the world stopped turning on the September Day

  Teachin' a class full of innocent children

  Or driving down some cold intrstate

  Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor

  In a crowded room did you feel alone

  Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her

  Did you dust off the bible at home

  Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened

  Close your eyes and not go to sleep

  Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages

  Or speak to some stranger on the street

  Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow

  Go out and buy you a gun

  Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching

  And turn on I Love Lucy reruns

  Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers

  Stand in line and give your own blood

  Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family

  And thank God you had somebody to love

  I'm just a singer of simple song I'm not a real political man

  I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran

  But I know Jesus and I talk to God

  And I remember this from when I was young

  Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us

  And the greatest is love

  And the greatest is love

  Where were you when the world stopped turning, on that September day.

  hurricane katrina victims in houston, texas were "underprivileged anyway" and life in the astrodome sports arena is "working very well for them," former first lady barbara bush says....

  the tragic disaster new orleans is now experiencing is not exactly unprecedented in our nation's history.

  there are some lessons to be learned about what happened in 1927 in the great mississippi flood.

  here is what the wikipedia states about this event:.

  Thanks Leolaia,

  I learn something new every day and your indept information is excellent. Your right about history repeating itself. There will be plenty of jobs to rebuild. This is nothing against the illegal aliens here in this country but this is an American problem and the jobs should go back into the American ecomony.

  Now this is just the "talk" I would expect from the dubs...instead of trying problem solve they give into misguided beliefs. I hope they quit going door to door, it's a waste of gas.

  It's time to set price controls on gas companies for the next 90 days. Hurricane Katerina is a wake up call for American ppl change our gas/oil dependency we have to switch over to a alternative forms of fuel and power.

  After Katrina, do you now have an emergency plan?

  i know many people who live down south louisiana , were raised to be on guard for hurricanes.

  i thought i heard on cnn that 80% did evacuate out.

  i can imagine trying to get the most valuable things in a car , get my money out of the bank, gas the car up, put water and food in case traffic is jammed, clothes , medicine, pets, contacting family..all of that would be exasperating if some of it was not ready to go.. every year we have tornadoes, flooding, but the ice storms are what we are afraid up my way nw louisiana.

  some of my relatives live in remote areas with no electricity or water, they choice to live off the land and herd their livestocks and plant crops this is a way of life for us for generations. With modern technology entering these remote areas gas, solar and wind generators are helping to provide alternative energy sources. Water is still the precious commodity here, we have to haul 200 gallon of water one or twice a week for human and livestock use. I have been told by my parents not to get attached to the livestock, because some day it will be used to fed us. Everyone recommendations are excellent, when it come to babies they need baby forumla if not canned milk or powdered milk will do. For the elderly cans of ensure will help. check your staples: flour, sugar, salt, shortening, yeast, canned or powdered milk, rice, beans, spam, corned beef, canned tuna, teas, coffee (cowboy style), canned food, like soup, stews, cup of noodles, canned pork n' beans, canned veggies, canned fruit and a can opener. I know the more traditional folks would make jerky meats or sun dried fruits to last through the winter months. first aid kit, flashlights, batteries, radio or stereo, matches, tools, candles and oil lamps, propane stove and lanterns (use with caution.)personal items and important documats.

  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the victims of Katrina.

  I read Robert Langdon's first adventure....Angels & Demons, the author Dan Brown is clever. I liked how he used the word Koyaanisqatsi, it's the Hopi term for "life out balance."

  Right now, I'm starting to read Da Vinci Code before the movie comes out.

  LOL at Trader Joe........now that store reminds me of tree hugging, dog loving, dope smoking, organic fruits and veggie ppl. I like to shop there.

  now back to evil wally world...I can't help shopping there, the prices are good, cleaning supplies are dirt cheap and my hubby likes to get his tighty whites there and my son goes straight for the x-box and playstation area.

  but my daughter hates the way wally world censor's the music there and will not step foot in that place, she doesn't like how they drive all the other stores out of town and how anti-union they are. Plus she's still pissed off at wally world for giving all that money to W so he can get re-elected again.
