Im here, and thanks all. I live about 12N of MPLS. My daughter and her boyfriend were on that bridge just minutes before it happened.

Well your accounted for.Thats good to know.If your apart of this comm,If anything happens bad near you,try and post a.s.a.p. ;) .Although we might not always get along or agree,I believe we have an unconditional love here. :)

Straycat, I'm glad that you and yours are ok. It turns out that one of the fatalities, Sherry Engebretsen was the mother of two former students at the studio where my daughters dance and my sisters-in law work-volunteer so she was known by many there including my sister-in-law. I hope that's my only "6 degrees of separation" story from this. Scratch that, I hope it's my only story.

Ahhhh c'mon guys, this isn't Heaven so we all dont get along but when something like this happens, isn't weird how we all pull together? My web here was messed up so I couldn't post right away. THIS is why I like it here. We love to hate eachother but I think it's mostly all in fun, or, it should be. Alot of us have been here and GMC for quite awhile and Im proud to say, even for the ones who dont really care for me, your all my friends......:)
