how come some of the biggest people for peace, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, and Ghandi, were shot?

[Afrashad]

OMG. My mom sent the university security up to my room to check on me since I didn't answer my phone. Story of my life.

[mariasmon]

Ouch.

[Afrashad]

Now she's crying on the phone. :tongue:

[Vertigo]

Did she only call once?

No wonder you didn't answer.

No. My phone was buried under a blanket, so I didn't hear it go off. I didn't take it with me to the post office either. Apparently, my dad, aunt, and brother were also trying to call.

[Afrashad]

Wow, this day just keeps getting better and better.

My uncle, aunt, and cousin were on the commuter train.

Are they okay?

[mariasmon]

Wow, sorry, Af! I hope they are unharmed. Guess I spoke too soon when I said things could only improve.

My cousin has a broken nose, my aunt has a broken something (I think my dad said back, but I'm not sure), and my uncle was unconscious.

[mariasmon]

OMG. Keep us posted.

Oh, my. I'm sorry, and I hope they will have quick and uneventful recoveries. Keep us posted.

How scary.

[Afrashad]

I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear something. They were on their way home from the airport when it happened, and the car they were in was one of the ones that stayed upright.

The firetruck is at my dorm. Loads of fun.

[mariasmon]

What happened? I always hated it when the fire alarm in the dorm would go off in the middle of the night (3-4 a.m.) and it was never anything. You just had to stand around outside in your pajamas looking like crap (and, in some cases, shivering) for 15-20 minutes (just long enough to get so fully awake it's impossible to go back to sleep) until the firemen came and pronounced the coast clear. I never knew if those were drills, prank pulls of the alarm or false alarms or what.

[Regret]

Af-- definitely keep us updated on your family. I hope everyone is okay.

On a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen the DQ commercial with the turkey sandwich? I swear, I haven't laughed that hard at a commercial in a long time. "What does a turkey say?"

[in the money]

Eat more beef.

[Vertigo]

I just saw Shrek the Musical.


You read it right!

I'm not sure what happened. Best guess is someone was cooking and burnt something. That's normally how it goes. :tongue:
