Smartie's Bar & Grill #62

It's still your birthday here SMW!! Got a few more beers to go here. Nighty night!!!

 

Thanks Falena...We should never forget. I remember seeing it on the news and really not believing what I was seeing. I had to go out and do some scheduled work and it was everywhere. People were basically stunned and didn't know how to act or what to do.

 

I was unemployed on 9/11 and had an appt for a phone guy to add a line. I didn't know anything had happened til I answered the door and the phone guy told me. He came in and we both sat down and watched it on Tv. Just in time to see the second strike. It felt surreal. Still does until you realize it was not only real, but could happen again. Seems like yesterday.

 

I had flown to El Paso the night before. I was waiting at my hotel for parts to be flown to me. They arrived at 0630 that morning. I woke up in the hotel 10 minutes before the second plane hit. After the second plane hit, I picked up my parts at the airport. It was a ghost town. When I got to city hall to fix their equipment, they were barricading their entrances with city vehicles and told me I had to leave. The equipment I was there to fix backed up their 911 system and my contact pulled some strings to get me in the building. I installed my part and left in 15 minutes. I went to the airport and changed my car rental to a one way from a local. My wife was 6 weeks from delivering our 3rd son and she wanted me home. I averaged about 90 mph and was pulled over once. The cop let me off with a warning. Gas prices were up about 50 cents/gallon in some of the remote West Texas towns. I saw the second tower fall while at a gas station. I drove to Love Field and picked up my car and got home in Mesquite in 10 hours. Coworkers were stuck in strange cities for 2 days until the airports opened again.

Good morning Smartie and happy belated birthday.

 

Birthday? Really?

Let's celebrate. Yesterday was somebody's birthday. Let's celebrate that one, too.

 

Where is anybody?

My last post is the last post on this thread and it was the 14th. That means it
was... uh... about... hmmm... earlier in this week since anybody has lied about
their age or anything they've done.

I think it was this week.

Is anybody here?

My last post is the last post on this thread and it was the 14th. That means it
was... uh... OUCH! My brain hurts... hmmm... earlier in this week since anybody
has lied about their age or anything they've done.

Was it this week?

Hey, where is anybody?

My last post is the last post on this thread and it was the 14th. That means it
was... I feel like I'm repeating myself.

It feels like deja vu all over again.

Maybe it wasn't this thread? Oh! My head. My brain hurts. It will have to
come out.

 

If it matters, I'm back. Dealing with a lot of health issues so haven't had any real time for fun stuff. Don't know where anyone else is. Hope this helps your head (the big one) problem.
Enjoy!

 

I think I like walking. It's funny when I catch a stalker.

 

I do envy you now, forgive me for my sin.

 

TGIT unless it's TGIF.

I can't tell the difference.

 

Question.

Is it today or not? I can't tell.

I'll be under table 3 if anybody has an answer.

What's the question?

 

UGH! I hate Mondays. How many daze until Friday?

 

Makes no nevermind as to Today or Tomorrow or Tomorrow.
What matters most is whether One feels right with whatever day it is.
Makes no difference if a Monday or a Thursday.Those are only stamps
as to time frame.Makes no difference as to if one is 35,45 or 55.
The blood flowing in our veins cares not about what day of the week it is.
Our heart make care a wee bit if it's our birthday but probably much more
over a lost loved one.Which means it's our Spirit that counts.
Our Soul.Our Spirit can actually be more beautiful as we age.In fact it should be.
That is what defines our true character or lack thereof.

The Soul selects her own Society --
Then -- shuts the door --
To her divine Majority --
Present no more --
{ Emily Dickinson

 

That's a great philosophy Foolie. Appreciation is the key to a good life IMO. We humans are built to sense negativity because it is usually a precursor to bad things happening and sensing it before it happens is what keeps us alive. Therefore, it is much more difficult to 'feel right' and comfortable. Especially these days where we are bombarded with negativity via the media that seek it out.

 

Can anyone tell me about water filters? I bought a britta jug but it seems, though it improves the taste, t doesn't remove the chlorine. My water was so chlorinated that I couldn't quench my thirst from it. I even heard 8 cups of water go into my skin when I have a shower.
