Virginia Tech

My heart and prayers go out to all the students, faculty, families of the victims, police officers, EMT's, etc. of this senseless tragedy.

In a way I'm glad we, the people, don't have to support this coward in jail for the rest of his life, but I also would have liked to see him suffer for his actions. Then he went and shot himself in the face. I bet he thought he was pretty smart doing that. Figured he'd give one more jab to the police. Well, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking of him as a coward!

It makes me so scared to let my Princesses out of my site or to date. All of this senselessness over a jealous ex-boyfriend. Incredible.

R.M.S Titanic

95 years ago today, the R.M.S Titanic sank. The passenger list has been put online here, free for a limited time.

Shipwrecks have always interested me. The "what-ifs" are so huge. What if the Titanic had narrowly missed that iceberg? Would all those people have been spared their lives?

According to this site the last witness to the sinking of the Titanic died in 2006. She was 5 years old when the ship sank. I can only imagine the horror that little girl went through. I hate to imagine what my 5 year old would have to go through if something like that happened.
