I can't imagine! I cried with horror once I realized the first plane that hit the Trade Center was no accident! Such senseless tragedies. All because of few fools in this world. The site of OKC in pictures let me feeling cold and sick, can't imagine seeing with my own eyes.
I remember when the space shuttle exploded. They enterupted my soaps to broadcast it and I was just sitting there thinking, big deal, another launch, and within seconds it was all over. So when years later, I got to watch a shuttle streak past Daytona Beach on it's way to the great beyond, I saw it as the miracle it really is! Life is just too easily lost. With every step, man teaters on the edge of disaster, and sometimes it happens.

I meant to tell you. The owner of the sailing center lost his dog about six weeks ago. Lilly. She used to walk the marina with him everyday. One of the sailboats in the fleet is her namesake. I am told he brought a new puppy to the marina. Her name is Bella.

I come across that way alot myself, but if something hits my buttons, I will cry like a baby! When the doctor told me about Bella as soon as I hung up the phone I was in hysterics and had to leave work immediately to go to her. I will tear up for years to come over her. When ever something just hits me out of the blue.

I'm just too sentimental. I would be like Harley and want to save the chick from the snake too. It would do me no good to have to feed anything live to anything.
I once chastized my huskey Wendy for bringing home her prize catch of ground hog one day! She was proud I was sad and crying! She also fished and came home with some whopper fish, but that didn't bother me! LOL

My step-son lived for feeding days! bring home tiny mice and watch the whole event. Later, was at a friends house. Harley was 6. There was a little chick in their enclosure. Needless to say, the python went hungry until they could get another chick ... lol And we kept the chick for a couple of days 'til I convinced Harley it was part of the "circle of life"  and it was best that we feed the snake
