I have yet to meet anyone personally there when this happened but I would imagine it went up a few notches for them compared to how we felt at the time. For them it must have been like living in a horror movie. I remember when I was personally attacked in '97' how I felt. I remember saying to my husband at the time I felt like I was in some sort of cop drama and I was the star victim of the show. It's one thing watching and another being in the middle of it

I remember at the school we had a Saudi Arabian Prince who was whisked out of school and sent home. Don't know the details but his family had bought him a house that was from what I heard complete with maids and bodyguards. We had the girls from Bulgaria who were scared and not sure if they would be able to go home. I thought it must be scary to be here from another country not knowing what the heck was happening and how this attack was going to play out.

I was at work. Scott, a friend of ours from the insurance agency upstairs came running down the stairs telling me that one of the towers had just been hit by an airplane. I didn't think much of it at first thinking it was just an accident or something. That all changed when Scott came running down the stairs again a few minutes later with the news that another plane went into the other tower. This time he told me he had it on his little B&W T

Nine years ago today was Septemeber 11, 2001. A day that is now etched into our memories and our history. It seems like yesterday. It's a day of remembrance and solemnity. It's a day of prayers and patriotism. It's a day never to be forgotten. So where were you on t

Another thing...a few weeks ago 10 humanitarians were killed by radical Muslims with the thought they may have been preaching Christianity (they had not) and compared to this current fiasco they were hardly a blip on the radar screen.

[quote]You forgot to mention the Muslims.[/quote] Do you have numbers on this? How can we know for sure? I'm getting reports all the time about how radical muslims are going into churches and holding massacre parties. Quite often they are killing Christians with the names of Mohummed or other Muslim names because they are converts to Christianity. www.persecution.com reports many of these abuses/killings that we don't hea

There Will Be No Koran Burning in Florida in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Breaking News: The Florida Pastor who was gathering Korans to burn has now called off the Koran burning ceremony. I would definitely say this is for his good and for God's glory. While many understand his frustration it was not the right thing to do and it's never right to do wrong. Just because their radicals burn our flags and bibles and kill Christians and Jews doesn't make it right for us to take vengeance and stoop to their level.&n

Reply to Hawking believes there's no need for God in world comprehending in Pure Technology Stardock Forums

I think Hawking is trying to convince himself forget about the general public. Back some time ago Hawking was on the Discovery channel and he came right to the threshold of heaven, almost admitting there had to be a God who started all this when he abruptly changed direction. I think he's doing the same thing Darwin did. Darwin started out a strong believer but after the death of his daughter he had no desire in that belief anymore and did what he coul

haha Doc...I think that's the definition of wistful thinking. [e digicons]:sun:[/e] Walking is very good. If I wasn't so impatient or couldn't run I would walk but since I can run I do.

[quote] running and walking have two different impacts on the body. Walking burns fat for the most part while running burns carbs and tones more. To keep it simple, the reason is because while running the body can't burn fat fast enough.[/quote] Hmmmm never heard this. The way I figure it running burns more fat for me because I run further than I would ever walk. I've read the greater the intensity the more calories burned as well. So if I walk a mile or run a m

I don't do nearly the running I used to do. There was a time I'd go out for a 10 miler and was skinny as a rail especially during my 30's.. but now 4-5 miles is probably normal with an occasional 6-7 when the weather cools. I did a five miler tonight. I'm afraid to cut out cardio like you said thinkiing it's really good for heart and lungs and toning as well. I'm also afraid of maybe turning my heart muscle into too much flab after 20 years of running. <

[quote]For me it all boils down to calories in vs calories out. 1500 calories a day, with a solid hour of exercise [/quote] Well that's really what it's all about anyhow. I can run about 7 miles in an hour although I'm only running about 3-4 miles right now because of the heat. It's about 100 calories or so a mile so 7 miles for me is about 700 calories. On occasion we bike anywhere from 10-25 miles and expend even more than that. W

crazy. This must be a case of "worshipping the creation instead of the creator" (Romans 1) and therefore yet another example that the bible knows what it's talking about. Just goes to show just about anything is game as an object of worship, even a tree. I bet they don't mourn this bad at funerals of humans when the cameras are turned off.

Sounds like a lot of work. Too much thinking about what to put in the mouth to me. I love veggies too but it seems you have to limit them even. I love the squashes and the carrots as well as the green beans and salads. I think my problem might be the carbs now I think about it. I eat plenty of breads, crackers, muffins cereals etc. For me I could have english muffins/bagels for breakfast or a bowl of cereal. For lunch a sandwich or some sort o

[quote]I detest beets. But I may try this. What a great way to get the nutrients without the taste!![/quote] That's what I was thinking and a great way for a mom to sneak in more vegetables for the kids without them knowing it. My guess the beets add moisture and texture. I just have to wait until maybe next Thursday when the ladies come over for bible study. Besides I have to buy beets since they have never ever been in my cupboard before. Nowadays I only make

Reply to A Chocolate Cake With A Beet To It in Blogging Stardock Forums

Beets are never served at my house because I couldn't stand them so with all the wide assortment of veggies at hand we didn't miss them one bit. But knowing carrot cake and zucchini cake is so good and moist I'm willing to give this one a try. My son hated zucchini but he would eat the chocolate cake with the dreaded vegetable in it because the cake tasted so good. How can you survive with no carbs? Never? Why can't you have them?

I make a pretty good chocolate zucchini cake. I used to make it often in the summers when I had an abundance of zucchini from the garden. Even my son who hated squash liked this cake. Carrot cake is a crowd pleaser. Just about everyone likes a good carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. But I have a new one for you. I just got this recipe for an Unbeetable Chocolate Cake. I haven't tried it yet but looking at the picture it looks abso
