Mags, I wouldn't have bothered had it been just a few posts, but once it got over twenty, I figured it had legs and should be moved. I knew you'd move it, but since I was here… 24391. Trillium - 9/8/2008 2:16:59 AM Hi Jenerator and Judith. And others.
I have stacks of books to read for classes, but I just wanted to stop by because [sniff...wail...] I miss my little WX fixes. Are there other places where WX people post? [longingly] 24394. Jenerator - 9/8/2008 12:38:00 PM Hey Trillium! It's good to see you. 24395. judithathome - 9/8/2008 2:55:45 PM Okay, Guys...move the political talk to Politics.
Hey, Trillium! Welcome aboard!
One thing you can depend on at The Mote...it's always up and running! I think WC has shot itself in the foot for the last time.... 24396. magoseph - 9/8/2008 9:48:16 PM So, what is happening with Random--do you know, Jen, Judith? 24397. Jenerator - 9/9/2008 2:09:14 PM I have no idea. I cannot get around much. I went to one forum that was still available (though radically different in format) and hardly anyone was there, and no one knew what was happening. 24398. judithathome - 9/9/2008 2:17:02 PM Rumor has it that WC is down for the count. 24399. magoseph - 9/9/2008 2:47:39 PM That's just too bad, ladies. Thanks. 24400. marjoribanks - 9/10/2008 6:10:58 AM If WC is dead, why not try one more time to attract a nucleus of new posters to this blessed ol' place?
How about a WC Refugee All-Stars thread, plus dedicated new threads for core discussants of various topics who want to keep the discussion going? Perhaps recruit gatekeeper-types like PP?
Long live The Mote! 24401. iiibbb - 9/10/2008 1:20:02 PM What is WC? Isn't that European for bathroom? 24402. magoseph - 9/10/2008 3:02:04 PM Wc stands for "worldcrossing", iiibbb--A large forum with many small fora. Correct me, anyone, if I'm wrong.
24403. magoseph - 9/10/2008 3:05:28 PM On our mote opening page, we have links for the following fora from WC: Random International and All Things International.
24404. judithathome - 9/10/2008 5:56:58 PM What is WC? Isn't that European for bathroom?
HA! An apt analogy!
24405. wabbit - 9/11/2008 2:30:02 PM I would love to have PP come back, I haven't had the time to devote to Sports this year. Everyone else from Random is also welcome (d'uh, right?).
And while I'm here, Happy Birthday to the Mote, we are nine years old today, having officially opened for business on 9/11/99. 24406. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 9/11/2008 3:27:27 PM Happy Birthday, especially to your generous heart, wabb and to the many others around here! 24407. Ms. No - 9/11/2008 4:25:13 PM A very happy birthday to us! 24408. magoseph - 9/11/2008 5:05:25 PM 
Nation marks 7th anniversary of terror attacks
24409. thoughtful - 9/11/2008 7:05:38 PM Ah happy bday moties!
I was sitting at my desk this a.m. at about 8:45 am and remembering the conference call I was on when I heard about the first plane crash. Thinking how odd it is that 7 years later, I'm still at the same desk, same office, same job...life is so different, yet so the same.
What a terrible tragedy...still breaks my heart. I'm still unable to watch any footage about the event. I was supposed to be in the WTC at a meeting on that very morning, a meeting I chose to blow off. Little did I know....
The wife of a friend of mine worked in the WTC and she had company the night before, drank a little too much wine and chose to go to work a little late....she saw the plane hit as she was walking toward the building. She's still with us...her boss was killed.
How capricious. 24410. magoseph - 9/11/2008 7:21:58 PM
I found this YouTube in Le Monde newspaper. This is so neat to be able to listen to it with the French translation available, don't you think?24411. arkymalarky - 9/11/2008 10:23:25 PM I was at school with the kids, watching the coverage on the tv in the library. It was very surreal.
