Don't get on a subway, Kimmifunn! There's a possible threat in NYC!

I know...I got this email this morning...

I got a call from a friend in the secret service. Seems as though there is a
high potential of something happening in the city public transportation system
this Fri. Police and FBI will be deployed. Haven't told anyone else there at
T+L because I know that is a delicate thing you will want to handle with staff.
Just want to make sure you, johnnie and allisson are safe.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I can walk to work tomorrow!

Kimmifunn - WALK to work, don't ride! Be Safe -- it's all over the news. Hope it's just one of those things that goes away without a blip, but watch your back and be careful! You in the BIG CITY, now, girl!

I know...I don't have a bike though! I walked home from work today. I work on 34th and live down on about 4th street. It's not too too bad of a walk.

There was a major buzz around the office was that nobody was taking the subway. It's a little eerie just walking in the city. You can feel a weird vibe. Let's just hope this is nothing.

So has anyone said who threat was from? A new video or just tips? That has to be scary.

Made it to work via cab this morning. I promised my dad I would and would feel bad if anything happened on account of being cheap at taking public transportation.

It's a little spooky...but I think everything is cool.

I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Criticize Bloomberg all you want about it being a real threat or not. If you live here in the city...You want to know.

People will b*tch no matter what they do. Then afterwards, the government will have to pay millions to fund an investigative committee. My .02

Yep. Either way you run the risk of something happening everytime you take pub. transport. Hell, I work in the building that's #6 on the target list. So what do you do? :idontno:

It was this or passing out flyers in Wal-Mart in Destin. I chose the first choice.

They're saying taxis are impossible to get this afternoon in NYC (terrorists, rain, both make it impossible to get a cab in NYC). Kimmifunn, I hope you have a backup plan!

I just had to call my own daughter in ATL to tell her to be careful. TERRORISM AT GEORGIA TECH!

When I got into my car at lunch, an Atlanta radio station said that there had been an explosion at Georgia Tech and that they didn't know if it was terrorism or not. They also said they had evacuated the campus. I couldn't get my daughter on the phone and flipped out!!!!! A few minutes later she called me back. She knew nothing of it; she was shopping in Buckhead. LOL - so typical! I told her not to return to campus because I didn't know at that time if it was a dirty bomb or what. She said her next class was at 2. My husband then called me and told me that it was 3 bombs in a garbage bag and that it was being treated like a terrorist act, but it was okay for her to go to class. I called her, and she seemed disappointed. That's my girl!

What a pain to have to deal with this terrorism stuff!

:wub: Thank you!

Is that the girl working for Federated? I live in the W. Village too!

I did cab it...but Gussie didn't pay for it. He calls it independence day. He's been gabbing about it for years, but this time I think he's serious. I just had to pay for my own ticket home for Christmas and usually that's a parent thing. You know? :idontno:

Dam* girl...that's harsh!!! You must have bleed him dry in your youth!!!

No, that would be my grown up friend that is here now! The gal that started at Federated is the daughter of my goodest friend in Dallas. She lives more midtown near Lex. She just finished her training weeks and has now been paired up with a buyer. She is loving the city life....well, at least she was before the subway fiasco!!!

I bled him dry clear up to the age of 25. :eek:

That's so funny. Publicity sits amongst all the buyers. The funny thing is they have 2 new girls that I have to clear my stuff for. How ironic!
