Worked for IBM for years and had to be in Atlanta a lot. <br /><br />Frankly, as you well know every city in this country has its bad spots and most people survive there. That is what I remind myself of daily. Most people do not get hurt in those places, and it's still news when they do. Yes, this is self talk. :D<br /><br />Plus, like you said you just have to let it go to a certain extent. <br /><br />Oh, and my 18 year old freshman in college is talking about moving to LA to finish school. That or Univ. of Hawaii (since COLO. State is a sister school; that's just great -- not LOL!). I would rather she just move on up to Harlem with her sister. :DbZirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086707471450034283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614549520973526083.post-445655023714100472009-10-01T20:55:11.990-04:002009-10-01T20:55:11.990-04:00You did have a shock!!

Well, I don't hav...You did have a shock!! LOL!<br /><br />Well, I don't have one in NYC but I have a son in Atlanta and, honestly, sometimes I think I'd feel better about it if he was in New York! No, I doubt it but Atlanta can be pretty rough and Georgia Tech is right downtown in the middle of everything. My youngest (daughter) is making noises about going to GA Tech...I'm holding my breath...but, at least Wesley would be there, too.<br /><br />You're right, it'll stop when I die...but then I'll probably haunt them...Lynn Irwin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902088926070471878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614549520973526083.post-91140097210279173792009-10-01T20:46:45.213-04:002009-10-01T20:46:45.213-04:00Great post!

I have a 21 year old, 18 yr old, 16 yr old and a 9 yr old (yeah, we had a shock, but a good shock :D). <br /><br />My 21 year old lives in NYC, and I have to make myself NOT think about her living in Harlem and sometimes riding the subway late at night. Why did I even type that. I'm really trying not to think about it. Oh, and she has asthma (picture me cross-eyed). <br /><br />We encouraged her to live! and she's doing it, and doing it pretty responsibly, but I still catch myself fretting. I guess I'll stop when I die. LOL!bZirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086707471450034283noreply@blogger.com
