Reply #89: I think people - particularly in the over 40 age group are increasingly

finding themselves in situations not unlike yours - where no matter what you do it's a Catch-22 and the one thing we can't do is erase a decade or two. It's not "supposed" to be an issue, but I think it is becoming more of one.

But I'm mostly interested in your including 9/11 in your post - and I am curious as to why you said that. I believe it is an extremely significant component that has made changes in our lives that are far-reaching and devastating (and have zero to do with terrorism).

So I was just wondering what made you mention that. People usually just blow me off when I try to explain the impact on us and our society and tell me I'm just being silly. I don't think there's anything silly about it.

Just wondering what your take on this is...
