I did this one a while ago and I found it quite good fun as you actually learn a lot - trouble is I haven't remembered it!!!
You tagged me and it's done !! Had fun doing it - really, I did !
Great information!
I'm with you on Ty Pennington.
I remember discussing Black Monday in Grade 9 Social Studies and being in tears. I was sure we were going to have a depression to rival the 1930s. I won't get into the other kids laughing at me, but my teacher did say I was the only one who understood how bad things could get. Even though he was quite sure they wouldn't get that bad.
I did this also a while back. It is pretty intresting.
My birthday is 9-11 so I think I will skip this one.... I did feel obligated to live with more gratitiude when so many people died on my birthday.
Ok depressing much? Lots of wars evidently started on June 11th. Great.
Yay for Black Monday on our birthday. :D
