When I didn't see Patti post in the Just for Fun Forum , I knew something was up. When she didn't answer my message to her either, I was worried. Thanks, Chris, for checking up on our Patti for us. Sure hope she is up and running sooner rather than later. Hugs, Sue

I will never forget that day. I was, like many here, sipping my morning coffee and at the same time I was talking to my mom on the phone. Both of us had our tv's on and watched as the events unfolded. It was after the second plane had hit that we got off the phone. I remember , I had to make a small grocery store run and I was afraid to leave the house. The next thing I heard was about the Pentagon.. I saw my neighbor across the street cutting her grass. I remember running out there and making her cut off her lawn mower to tell her our country was under attack. I then went to the store and as I was arriving I heard on the radio of the first tower collapsing.. I will never forget the feeling i had in the pit of my stomach. It was so strange when I went in the store because I tried to talk about the events to the cashiers and they had been instructed by their manager to remain calm so the customers would not get excited. I bought a few things and hurried home. From there, I remained glued to the tv for what seemed days and days. Not even on this day can I digest those horrific scenes. It's too much to handle to even try to put myself in the place of any of the family members there or any of the victims... it's just too horrible ... God be with them all Sue

Adorable pics, Shelli. I will never forget how it was when my kids started school, I was a basket case for days. It's so hard to let them go. Hugs, Sue

Carole, It's good to read your post. Those are really interesting observations about the differences in oxygen level being influenced by the way you breathe. It makes a lot of sense and I'm surprised that I never heard my husband's pulmonologist mention this. It just sounds like common sense to me. I'll have to ask my mom about hers. Sure hope that possibly the mask will help you at night. Oh yeah, I love your tatoo too. It says it all. Take care dear , Carole. Hugs, Sue

Teresa, I missed this when you posted it. Hope your dad is improving with each new day. In my prayers. Hugs, Sue

Where is it that I get this wine? Sue
