JSM'S BEGGING FOR BANNING THREAD #4

[Fanny Mae]

You know I wouldn't wish anxiety attacks on anyone, and they are not funny. But one time I got one while driving, and by the time I could figure out how to get off the freeway and stop the car, my hands wouldn't let go of the steering wheel, I had a death grip on it, and my hands had cramps. I have never driven on the freeway since.

I never had a full blown anxiety attack since 9/11 until my sister died last summer. I didn't take meds for it until then. I handled a lot of stressful job situations with my LE job, and driving a truck, and breezed through those without a problem. I rarely have a bad one now.

I would much rather be angry. I can handle mad. This is much harder.

Off to walk the Digger dog.   

[Fanny Mae]

Wonder what is so interesting out there?

How funny.   

I'm surprised the kitties didn't jump out the window.

Depends on what was out there. It could have been the bear.

I understand, I've been dealing with them for so long, it is just part of me. I'm just glad my daughter called, and she will call when they get there which should be soon. She gave me the phone numbers to the two hotels, and her friend's number, I was starting to get nervous. I come from a family of worry, I can't expect not to be like this, worry is or was our middle name. If given one wish, it would be to be laid back and mellow, but that ain't going to happen

I can from a line of worriers too. My mama and daddy could think of every bad thing that could happen in every situation. The biggest positive thing I got was my daddy saying I could do anything with my life.

He died before I really knew that I could, and I was determined not to be a worrier, so I guess that is why I pushed the envelope jobwise.
If I had been a worrier, I would have never made it. Now, at this point in my life it is hitting me.

Worrying takes the fun out of everything, and if there was a magic pill to take for it, I'm sure millions would be standing in line to take it. My grandma was in her forties when she had my mother, my mother was an only child also, and of course grandma was older than my friend's grandmas. I remember at 7 years old sitting in the car crying about losing her, I was hysterical. Grandma didn't die until I was in my twenties, but the fear of her dying overwhelmed me at times. I still have and will always have, the beautiful cups and saucers, that we would drink coffee from, since I was little she would only put a little coffee in my cup and a lot of milk. They lived around the corner from us, I was always over there helping her, she was one of the best people I will ever know.

This is a video sent to me by my airline pilot nephew several days after the attack. He was ex-Air Force and not very emotional and sentimental. He almost apologized for sending it to me, but it had touched him. He and his crew visited the World Trader site not long after the attack, when the planes started flying. And then I realize how much this had affected him too..

Thank you, MISSION. I am beginning to feel better, and I reminded my hubby to put up the flag out front.   

[Tevye]

Oh TEVYE, I am so sorry you have to go through this. My little anxiety attack doesn't seem so important now. 

Dear Miss Mae;

This is a difficult day for a lot of Americans. I have cried more today over what happened 8 years ago than over this whole stupid cancer thing. Do not feel badly about feeling badly! I'm supposed to go to the store today, but I don't want to...what if something happens while I'm gone? In other words, I feel your pain (oh, God, someone just shoot me! I'm quoting Clintoon!! I should be banned for that!)

And as for the Coasties doing an exercise on the Potomac, on today of all days, my hinky meter is going off, big time.

Remember what Scarlett said: "Afterall, tomorrow IS another day!"

Yes, it does. And I have realize in the past few years how miserable my mama was. She did take tranquilizers, and I didn't understand why. Now I know. With age, comes wisdom. My grandmama told me drinking coffee would stunt my growth, but I drank it anyway, just like you did, with a little coffee and a lot of milk. She was right, I was always short. (But so was my daddy.)

This one always makes me cry. The guy that did it kept updating it with pics of the victims. to this day, when I hear that song, I cry. Thanks, I knew I'd see it today.

And tomorrow IS another day. And that is why we always have to put one foot in front of the other. I have been through a lot of bad stuff in my life, and so have we all. I know I am not alone or special for feeling the way I do today. 

You are such an inspiration to me, to us all. 

My hinky meter is off the charts over to CG EXERCISE. I hate it when someone in authority stands in front of the camera and bald-faced lies to me.

Gibbs bashes CNN
 
Says 'checking would be good'
By CAROL E. LEE

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs chastised CNN Friday morning for its reporting on a Coast Guard training exercise on ...

... the Potomac River, which suggested a security incident was in progress in the nation's capital.

"Before we report things like this, checking would be good," Gibbs said. 

Responding directly to a CNN reporter's question about whether the public should have been notified about a training exercise, Gibbs was harshly sarcastic: "If anybody was unnecessarily alarmed based on erroneous reporting that denoted that shots had been fired, I think everybody is apologetic about that."

When another journalist noted that the Coast Guard was holding a news conference to take questions on the morning's events, Gibbs jabbed: "Hopefully CNN will go."

The president's spokesman also said the White House had not been notified in advance about any Coast Guard training exercise, but dismissed comparisons to the notoriously botched Air Force One flyover of Lower Manhattan earlier this year.

"I tend not to question law enforcement," Gibbs said, explaining the scheduling of the exercise was "a decision that was made by the Coast Guard."

  Thank You Fanny and Mission. I am in pretty much of a funk today. Have a look at http://project2996.wordpress.com/2009-participants/

9/11/09 marks 8 years since the attacks of World Trade Center I and II, The Pentagon, Shanksville, American Airlines Flights 11 & 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 & 175.

On that day 2,996 people were ripped from their lives. But as the media and society tend to do, they have focused on the killers. We’ve all learned more about them than we wanted to. On that day many of us made a pledge to never forget what happened.

The bloggers listed below are trying to keep that promise by learning about the people who died that day. Use the list below to visit their sites and read about the people they have chosen to remember


That's about all I can say about today. It is a very somber day. JSM
