I am one of the many Americans, Citizens of this great country, who is unable to give blood. I've tried in the past, and was finally told not to try anymore (my veins collapse easily, and I never am able to give enough). There are many more who have various health related issues that are unable to give blood as well. Please think about donating to your local red cross instead. A dollar, or five, or more can go a long way to buying the orange juice and cookies or chips that are given to all donors. It's such a small price to pay in the face of this tragedy. Our nation always needs blood donors, moreso in times of tragedy, but at all times. Try to make a date to give blood or donate a little bit of time, or money to this wonderful organization. And no, I do not work for, or have any assocation with, the Red Cross. I am just one of millions touched by this horrific horrors that happened on Tuesday. One of millions who sat and was just completely shell-shocked. And I am one of probably hundreds of thousands who is unable to donate blood, but want to help, so will donate a little bit of money.

Horrifying Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.
This is not game news, but is more important. I am putting this up here because many people are trying to figure out what is going on and this way we can share what we know. Here's what I know so far:
- At about 8:45 a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. 14 minutes later, andther plane crashed into the second tower.
- Another plane crashed into the Pentagon soon after that.
- A bomb went off at the State Department.
- Both World Trade Center Towers have now completely collapsed, presumably killing everyone who was unable to evacuate in time, and also the firemen and police who were at the towers trying to help people evacuate.
- Another plane has gone down somewhere in Western Pennsylvania. Possibly just a coincidence or possibly an attempt to hyjack it to another target.
Words cannot express the horror.
