  I can directly relate to what your saying, I NO LONGER celebrate my Birthday on 9/11 , I get very vivid images of what greeted me on return to our home 11 years ago,as we leave the TV on for the dog's when we go out for a while, I also at the time of this horrendous acts, we had a close freind working in the WTC,thankfully she was one of the lucky few.

Getting onto happier news we did go down to the Royal yesterday, even though we did not have any major wins we did infact have a few minor wins and we were stoked with the way the pups handled the day,they were great and loved all the attention,big pluswas allthe stupid people must have stayed home yesterday, it was a pleasurable day to just share the dog'swith others and talk to a lot of sensible people fora change,either that orall the stupid people were bugging the other exihibitors.

You are a sensitive person, surferdude.

Don't let this perp rob you of these valuable memories. Remember, the Earth is spherical and geographically, bad things are always happening somewhere, it's the world we live in for the present. You were given that place to live in, grow and remember, it will always be yours. Take comfort from that, cheers.  :exclaim:

+ Good news about the dogs Rick  :goodjob:

- Not good for you Trev.. I can relate to what you said too.. I thought it was just me who got emotional about stuff like that ( I was one of the most upset at the Funeral of my friends Mum who died on the Cancer Bus and i had never actually met her)

I would feel violated if anything bad happened in any of the old places I had lived in.. :disapp:

- I wasn't able to pick up my new P76 as it was held in quarantine.  :(

+ I should be able to pick up my new P76 tomorrow once it has been cleared of having any of those exotic eastern states contaminations and viruses.  :D

- I can't get it licensed until early next month because it has to go before the club membership for approval at the next meeting prior to historical concessional licensing.  :(

Great news err.. unlucky news err.. fingers crossed about the P76  :undecided:


+ my new garage door should be fitted by the time I get home. This is a hinged doorset to replace my current glideroll, which the missus has problems opening :rofl: Not any more I hope.

- my old fella (83 next Saturday) was whisked away yesterday with a subcutaneous bleed from a fall he had last Nov. Looks like he fell down a mountain on his chest. Daft bugger. A haematologist is now looking after him for a few days while he's in the Ozzy :(

Gee, not many people have garage doors like that over here... (not since the end of WW2 anyway)  :snigger:

Wouldn't you get wet opening and closing it when it rains? (nearly every day over there)
