I really enjoy all your postings Julie, and would like to be more involved in them, however, some of the topics aren't really my forte and I would like to be able to spend time getting into them. Perhaps one day when I retire! Have a wine for me, I am on the OJ! XXX
juliepenkova
Pro Thank you... and yes the topics I look into can be a bit challenging or heavy
at times!!
I will pop open another bottle then
Cheers!!

I remember that day so well, my daughter was about 2. I had returned to college, she was in her high chair nibbling on snacks as i was sorting out my college work.
suddenly there was an annoncement on the news saying a plane had crashed into one of the twin towers, how stupid i thought, a small air craft off course maybe. Then came the second craft, i turned on the radio and checked the internet.
so much sadness, all those lives lost, just normal people going about their day to day lives, not involved in war, not on anyones side, just people living day to day lives caught up in political madness, lies and the usual bullshit.
juliepenkova
Pro I too remember it so vividly!!
I had the TV on but was not really paying attention to it and the volume
was low but a flash of light caught my eye and drew my attention to the TV...
I thought I was watching a movie at first but then realised it was the news
.... it was the tower crumbling that caught my eye... the first attack....
I quickly turned the sound up and was dumb struck to see another attack within seconds of the first.... it was so sureal and to this day still is!!
I can not comprehend the devistation for all those involved
and all for what you say bullshit...
My partner is Muslim and for a good few months all Muslims here felt very
uncomfortable... He was about to visit his friend in America too .... but could not!!
People like these terrorists give the Muslim community a bad name!!
WildWitch
JulieP, these people are extrimists and dangerous. There are funimentalists in all faiths that will lay down their lives in the name of their God taking as many as they can with them.
It annoys me that Muslims get such a bad press, there was so much hatred casued in the area i lived back then, a community that shared space, education, lesuire etc all shattered due to a bunch of fundamentalists.
juliepenkova
Pro I did work at the time in a predominantly Muslim area and the schools
within that area closed for two weeks because of fear of being attacked
after 9/11... they slowly started returning over a period of a couple of months.
That is just a small insight to the fear the Muslim Community felt at the time.
Yes extreamists and funamentalists.... why I do not like religion!!
Brainwashing children from birth... learning to use a riffle at the age of four
how sad is that!!
WildWitch
Organised religion can be evil. Just look through history, the wars, the suffering caused by religion, its all very sad isnt it.
juliepenkova
Pro Yes!! Very true
Religion and politics.... since time began !!
Organised religion is the real problem!!
I sometimes watch "The Big Question" on Sunday mornings and todays topic
for debate was religion and politics... the question was
should politics be influenced by religion???
I was surprised that most people within the debate did not exclude it and
excepted it within reason
I confess I do not really follow politics... I just get angry when it is within
the equation
Maybe that is ignorant of me ...
Just I do get so frustrated with so many issues!!!
WildWitch
I do believe politics is heavily influenced by religion. It shouldnt be.
MarikaSunSeeker
Your comment just put things into perspective for me, I didn't even have the internet back then
juliepenkova
Pro Nor did I!!
but now we do ...
Happy anniversary my lovely friend. I am fortunate to have met you here and hopefully you stay around.
9.11.01 was a dark moment in history, hope it never happen again! Have a great mid september weekend, glorious over here!

juliepenkova
Pro You too XXX
Happy Anniversary Julie. I enjoy reading your posts and love to see your photographs.
I was watching TV on that dreadful day. I thought it was some disaster movie, soon realised that it was happening to real people.
Beautiful sunny day here hope you are having one too.
Liz.
juliepenkova
Pro Thank you!!
I too saw it on TV and at first thought it was a movie and realised it was the news!!
It was indeed a dark time and in many respects still is for the families involved.
Today was indeed lovely and sunny!!
Went out for lunch with some dear friends... had a super day!! X
Enjoy the sunny autumn!!

Happy blog anniversary. Your site here is so beautiful and I love the Autumn picture. Autumn is my favourite time of the year!
I was watching a program last night in my bedroom, about 9/11. There were new stories none of us had heard before, of those who survived.
One story really got me..it was about a man who saved another on the 84th floor. Finally, they walked down the stairwell together, all the way to the bottom and stepped outside. It was chaos, with people jumping, and the fountain water had stopped. He said people were milling around everywhere, but the worst thing he saw, as soon as they got outside, was a person still strapped in an airline seat. Right there on the concrete in front of them.
How awful!
Anyway, let us hope that such a thing will never, ever happen again.
Loads of hugs. Enjoy your evening: JW xx
juliepenkova
Pro Hello Charlotte!!
Thank you
I think there must be so many simular stories like this and yes
Hope Nothing like this happens again!!
It is lovely here in London.... sunny and warm....
Been out for lunch with some friends and we had a lovely time
Love and hugs XXX
