Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I will always prefer a taxi when available. I have never taken an uber and technically I'm still considered the 'younger' generation.
I don't know who these people are. A taxi has a radio and they are in constant contact with their dispatcher. A taxi driver has his cab license clearly visible because it's always laminated and on the dashboard. Give me a taxi any day of the week.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone had high hopes of them surviving.
God Bless their families.
Nor would I be able to get on a rocket ship and travel into space.
I would love to see the scenery but I couldn’t handle that mode of transportation.
I absolutely hate MRI’s in the hospital. Some people don’t suffer as much from claustrophobia. I have had panic attacks and had to close my eyes in order to get through it.
I feel absolutely awful for their families. Indeed, God bless their families.
I am glad the Coast Guard found them. Not ever knowing what happened is the worst.
Sometimes, I think about Amelia Earhart’s plane. We will never know exactly what happened.
Barb - Agreed. Not having tangible evidence of your LO and what happened to them has to be the worst! So hard to process the grief.
Need - I think of her too and have read some accounts, but no one really knows what happened to her.
I'm sorry about your claustrophobia. It must be difficult at times. I don't do well with heights. I'm ok in an airplane but even leaning over a banister can make me feel weird. and I could never do a summersault except in the water.
RIP sub-voyagers.
My dH will not watch the news with me.
I share in the grief, sadness, and losses of everyone here, especially those who are empaths and sensitive to world tragedies.
Very sad and tragic.
I can’t even imagine what your friend is going through. It’s the worst.
I am really weird when it comes to dealing with heights. I’m fine in certain situations and uncomfortable in others.
Any baseball fans out there?
My DH worked in the North tower , left that job a year before 9/11. His former secretary was found sitting near the bottom of a stairwell pretty intact still clutching her purse . Autopsy revealed she succumbed to smoke inhalation , the building collapsed in such a way that she was in a void . Not sure if she died before or after the collapse. My DH also knew a husband and wife who also died, leaving small children behind . My DH knew 7 or 8 people from his floor, 62 nd. who perished . For a good 10 years my DH couldn’t watch videos every time the news would play them on the anniversary, nor would he talk on that day , unless he had to . He used to take our son there on take your kid to work day . My husband’s screen saver on his computer is a picture of our son and my DH on the roof and the roof of the other tower and the sky is behind them .
