    And the plane that crashed into the Pentagon....Um where is it..Show me one photo.

    How about the fact that this 'plane' made an almost perfect circular hole, horizontally through 3 stories of that building.

    That's Never happened before either in any Plane-to-building crash.

    I personally will never forget this day. I was in-the-air traveling right near the site, when the 1st plane hit. We did an immediate 180 and headed back to Toronto. Had I not needed to be in Toronto the Friday before, I would have normally left from Boston on Tuesday for my non-stop flight to California. By the time we got back, the 2nd plane just hit. The Toronto airport was a complete mess. Planes started landing from everywhere and by mid-day, it looked like a parking lot. I was lucky enough to have the fortitude to call my hotel back, as soon as we landed to get another room. I then called Hertz back to get another car, just in case. Good thing I did, because within another 30 minutes, Nothing was available anywhere. It never really hit me throughout the day, how close our plane or I could have been on one of those flights. Until around 10:00pm that night a news broadcaster said the hijackers crossed the US borders from Canada by car. He was wondering why they took that risk going through customs and leaving from Boston, when it would have been easier for them to just leave from the Toronto airport. I believe one of the fatal airplanes was headed to California. Then I looked over at my luggage and noticed the tag on the handle, it read: 9/11 – LAX. That’s when the hair on the back of my neck stoodup.

    My family was extremely nervous that morning until they heard we were ok.  Not only because I was flying, but because my sister is also a Boston-based flight attendant for American and she was working that day.

    After just over 48 hours of being stuck at the airport and no real word on when US airspace will resume, I drove my rental car home. Hertz told me at the time, I was going to be charged a hefty fee, if I leave the car at a US Hertz return center. Then the US & Canada Hertz systems were not tired together, so they said they would have to retrieve the car from the US and I would be charged for that. One week later, my Amex was charged $995 fee for that recovery. After Hertz thought about it, or probably realized this may have happen a lot that week and it wouldn’t be good for their reputation, they dropped the charge.

    It was a very sad day in US history and I hope something like this is never repeated.

  12. Filing a Paypal dispute...how to make sure not being affected

    With such warning, can the seller withdraw all fund from his PP account, close it and cancel the credit that linked to that account beforehand?

    Not that I would ever do it, but if trouble started for the seller and he was Told to refund the money or send the watch back,

    then yes, the next thing he could have done would be to remove his funds A.S.A.P. and maybe disconnect his CC info

    from the account. Until a dispute is filed, PP has no idea of any issues.

    For what this watch probably cost, and as complicated as they say it is, I'd want Perfection!

    Notice that as the center seconds hand is moving around, the Minute hand is not going to land

    Exactly on the minute-marker, exactly at 60 seconds. Also notice the center of the 1/5 hand

    while it spins. Doesn't look like its sitting Perfectly centered or its slightly out-of-round?

    Ah yes, more lovely watches I've had. I still wish I had my T-Graph. That one is only 1 of 150 (in Orange) and they made only 100 T-Graph's in Black face.

    My Sharkhunter GMT I bought Brand New, directly from Doxa.

    Your cat terrifies me. Really.

    What, this thing scares you? This is how you sleep in a King Size Bed.

    I know, an invisible cat! You'd have no chance of seeing one of those doing a stealth attack on your socks as you walk past the sofa!

    Yes, she can be invisible while in her Camo Sweater.

    Sorry D, all I can think of is Austin Powers movie when I saw the first post!

    No, that would be her Mother & Sisters. My cat really stands out in this crowd.

    Just wondering what others have for pets. I have a dog, she's a 14 year old Cocker Spaniel mix. I do love her, but my 2 year old cat has such a personality with me. As soon as I get home and sit on the couch, she Has to jump right up on my lap. She'll sit there all night if I let her.
