We were stationed in California at the time. My mother-in-law called me and asked if I was watching the news. So i turned it on, and saw the first tower had been hit. I too thought it was a freak accident at first, and then the other plane hit. I was absolutley terrified because even though I was on a military base, we were less than a mile from a nuclear power plant. And now because of that incident my life has totally changed because now my husband has to leave for a year at a time to go fight the war on terror. Love you guys and God Bless America!! Nickie

i was in the hospital. my eldest had gastroenteritis and had been admitted the night before. the nurse came in and said the world trade towers have been bombed - they think by terrorists.... i went through the day in a haze. the TV was turned on in the hospital room. i went home and watched and watched and watched - flipping between CNN and the networks - - just completely dumbfounded. i think i learned a lesson that day - that we THINK we are always safe; that WE live in a safe time and place. that our children are safe and that we, as americans don't need to worry.... that's what changed. i realized that someone out there didn't like us very much and was willing to kill innocent people to prove their point or their ideology. i realized that there was INDEED a war on terror and that i was going to need to be ever more alert to life. what about you? where were you? what did you think or realize?

Lisa, Hi sweetie. You don't have to swear off the bad stuff entirely. Try a once a week treat. I learned this from my very slender, very cute neighbor. She indulges in cookie dough once a week. I tried it when I was craving sweets and it seemed to work well for me. I don't crave sweets much at all anymore....don't know why. I dont dump. It just doesn't appeal to me anymore...not that I am without weakness! I have to stay away from the crackers and bread. They haunt me! Whats that I hear....oh a box of cheez-its is calling my name! Better go! Malibu

yes oh yes- got another one this month- geesh.. a girl could really get her hopes up... all these in a row... without medications.... uhm.... so happy... school is going great... son's new "pre" school/daycare is going GREAT.. everything is going great.... geesh.. jennifer

You didn't blow anything girl. We as women have to learn to ask for what we want and expect nothing less. The last LOOSER I was in a 6 month relationship was just like this guy. A woos. Not a real man. I am 50 years old and finally after this last fiasco have learned that I am not going to settle any longer for less than I deserve. I am NEVER gonna give 110% and he give negative 10%.... I am reading this book now, "He's Just Not That Into You" and it teaches women how to hold out for what they need and want and dump the duds. It says that if a man wants you, and is really interested in us they will move Heaven and Earth to be with us and court and romance us. That is what I am holding out for. I can guarantee you the sex with this one would have been a waste of time. I just went through 6 months of faking O's with my last dud and NEVER AGAIN will I do that just so their feelings won't be hurt. Hold on, you are not meant to be alone and neither am I. The lucky fellas we need just haven't come around yet. Believe me, all you have done is just kissed another toad on the way to your prince. Sue
