  Years ago, I used to think it was flowers and candy or soft music. That relationship didn't work out. (he stayed a JW, I got df'd etc, etc..) My husband now, Steve, isn't much on flowers but every morning, when the alarm goes off, he gets up and comes back with my bathrobe. It makes my heart all squishy just typing it. We've been together 5 years, and I've learned that for me, it's those little things that are super romantic......

  sorry if this has been done to death, i only did a quick scan and didn't see a topic like this, so i appologize in advance if this was started someplace else.. this morning i woke up and thought about where i was last year, and the complete shock i felt at this same time last year...and i was just wondering if any of you had those same feelings this morning.. so where were you?

  i always find stories of what people were doing at the time they heard to be really interesting-please share if you'd like.

  I was at home, on my treadmill when the first plane hit. I thought it was an accident, maybe the pilot had suffered a heart attack or something. Then, the second one hit. I remember I turned around and looked at my husband behind me and jumped off the treadmill. I guess I just knew something awful was happening.

  We found out shortly after, that one of my husbands college roommates had been on American Airlines flight 11. We waited to hear his name read outloud this morning at the ceremony.

  I Got 9/11 on My Mind + Kind Words + Photos

  i wanted to save my 911th post for 9/11 and do a tribute.

  obviously, i'm almost a week early but what the heck...i feel like i need to make my tribute today.. i was at work (probably like most of you on the east coast) when it happened.

  my wife was born and raised in brooklyn, ny and her parents' apartment had an awesome view of the wtc.

  Mr Biggs, thank you for the pictures....

  I can't believe 9/11 is almost here. It still feels like an unhealed wound. I remember where I was, what I was doing, just like everyone else. I live on the West Coast, so it was early. I was running on the treadmill and thought the first plane was a horrible accident, maybe the pilot had a heart attack or something, then the second one hit. I cried for days, like everyone. Just when the tears were gone, we found out that (my husband) Steve's college roomie had been on American Airlines flight 11 and had just gotten engaged the weekend before. It just hit home even more. I still think about all those kids who lost parents, and parents who lost children, spouses ect.. Innocent people! It makes me so angry, even now a year later.

  when i was a kid, i kind of lived in my own world.

  i thought i knew everything, but as i grew older i realized my biggest problem was that i only halfway paid attention to the world.

  and the bathroom was on the right of what?

  I used to be so worried about the 1,000 year RAIN. I couldn't swim (still can't very well) so anytime a big storm would blow up, I was so sure it was the beginning of the 1,000 years.
