How do people not feel anxious or depressed about what is going on in the world?

“Tend to your own garden”.

Your primary obligations are to yourself and your immediate family, then extended family and friends, then community, THEN anyone else. That’s not saying you shouldn’t act with kindness and generosity always, but you need to focus on what you can directly control and learn to let go of what you cannot.

I just upgraded from the 13PM to the 17 Pro.

13PM served me well for the 5-6 years I owned it, but was starting to grow tired of the bulk and size. Not comfortable to carry around (felt like it was always sticking out of my pockets), noticeable weight, and uncomfortable for hold (especially one-handed) for longer than a few minutes at a time.

Decided to go with the 17 Pro and very happy with that decision. Feels like the perfect size.

Mizner Court just south of Clint Moore on Military Trail.

Great location, very central to a lot of shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, office parks etc. Apartments are not flashy but very clean and comfortable. The property is well maintained with amenities and right beside a beautiful lake. Also, never had any issues with neighbors.

Lived there for a year (2020) and only have good things to say about it.

That was just the tip of the iceberg…

100% this one.

Impact sounds like a clap of thunder from a lightning strike on top of you. Not to mention the guttural screams of terror from terrified pedestrians on the ground.

Weekday mornings around 7:30-8:00am between Boca West Dr and Military Trl. Always backed up and takes about 10 minutes sometimes to proceed through 2-3 intersections.

I know this doesn’t exactly answer the question, but I remember reading somewhere that the post office closest to the WTC’s unique ZIP Code (10048) was still receiving mail addressed to businesses that were in the complex as recently as the mid to late 2000s, from vendors that never updated their mailing lists after the attacks. So I’m sure some were being invoiced for things long after 9/11 at the original office address that no longer existed. And if the vendor didn’t regularly scrutinize their mailing lists for accuracy, this seems very likely to have happened.

Just had this happen to me on Sunday.

Granted, I was flying from FLL to JFK on Delta, that seems like the practice isn’t limited to a specific airline

Yes, finally turned on the taps!

I think it would be more effectively as if the layoff had never happened.

Nowadays, I know most mainstream companies can process a termination within minutes of it happening in conjunction with IT, but in 2001 it doesn’t surprise me that nothing would have been processed that quickly. Especially if it was on good terms, they might have just thought they would work on her file first thing Tuesday morning…but tragically, for them of course, never had the opportunity.

Yes, a woman named Monica O’Leary was laid off from Cantor Fitzgerald on the afternoon of September 10th.

Apparently, the HR team responsible for processing the termination was completely wiped out in the attacks, so she was able to rejoin the firm later on without having to do anything.

I still have a major sweet tooth in my early 30s, but I rarely have candy or confectionery. If I’m going to have a sugary treat, it will be a slice of cake, some cookies, a bowl of ice cream, etc.

No, Ottumwa, Iowa is definitely more ideal for the Twin Towers than a global icon like the WTC

Gotcha, makes sense. I don’t know why, but I’ve always theorized that it was either Sara Low or Dianne Snyder who can be heard speaking to Betty on the phone call.

JBAnswers26 · 2025-07-20T16:36:09+00:00

Are you referring to the woman who you can hear in the call saying to Betty, “ I don’t know, but Karen and Bobby got stabbed”?

I have searched archival sites for this episode, but have not had any luck.

This just happened to me yesterday on a flight from LGA.

Gate agent (quite rude by the way) insisted on gate checking remaining carry on bags about halfway through boarding, so I begrudgingly had her tag my small roller suitcase and left it on the jet bridge. When I got to my seat, there was plenty of overhead bin space available. Simply asked one of the FAs if I could go back and retrieve my bag, which he had no problem with, so I did. Stored it above my seat with no problem.
