Reflecting on[ 911] Sixteen Years Later



 


What was I doing when the Twin Towers was bombed on Sept.11, 2011?
 I was working the night shift at the Frederick Mail Facility in Frederick,Maryland. The shift had just ended and I was processing paperwork to report on the tour's performance; when I heard the awful news of the airplane crashing into the Twin Towers. I was numb. I thought about my mom and other family members who live in New York. I wondered were they okay. The telephone lines were down. The cell phones were not working due to the extensive calls being made to check on family and friends My son at the time was stationed in Iraq. My daughter-in-law was pregnant with our first granddaughter Mya. My heart is pounding and I am crying for those that lost their lives in the bombing. I remember feeling helpless. The only way that I knew how to help was to pray.


Today sixteen years later, I give thanks to God for sparing so many lives that could have been lost  I thank God for my granddaughter who will be sixteen in December. I share the story of 911 with her since this was a major event that happened in the year that she was born. I am so thankful to God for showing us mercy and grace. We were put on notice by this[ horrific catastrophic] event that changed our whole world. and taught us to stop and pay closer  attention to the world around us. That day for me, felt like the world just stood still in awe of what just had happened. I could not believe that someone would want to hurt us so badly. However, we took  that notice and began to defend our freedom; the freedom that we took for granted. We collected ourselves, we took stock and prepared to defend what was precious to us[OurFreedom].We did stop. We stopped to comfort and console each other. We remember that we are human beings wanting to live in peace and harmony with our neighbors



Remembering the fallen. People helping people. God Bless America! As you remember 911, tell someone that you love them.

Plexcoin- Scam or Legit?

Hello Readers,  I am sharing some information to you about a new cryptocurrency called Plexcoin. In my last post, I informed you that there are about 831 cryptocurrencies on the cryptocurrency exchange. Some are well known while others have not been heard of yet. When starting out most offer a low price and are affordable to every person so they can"get their feet wet." I am constantly diversifying my portfolio of cryptocurrencies to get the ones in high demand at a low price then sell. While I am still learning every day about cryptocurrency, my research leads me to new cryptocurrencies that I think will impact the marketplace. Maybe, maybe not! The first cryptocurrency that I will share information is  PLEXCOIN What is PlexCoin? is a cryptocurrency (private internet currency), that has a value based on the current market.

Virtual Currency Now on the 2020Tax Return Form- How to file Crypto Taxes

For years now, we have not had to report to the government about our buying and selling of virtual money until this year 2021 for our 2020 tax returns. I called my accountant to inform him that I received a form from some of the exchanges that I deal with stating that they reported the purchase of virtual currency to the government. I was surprised to see that this happening right now. So my question to you is:   Have you received any information from Coinbase, Square, and some of the other exchanges stating that they are reporting your cryptocurrency purchases to the government. If you did not get a statement in the mail then you were sent an email stating to print out the form. If you have been purchasing cryptocurrency, please keep all of your records from all of the exchanges that you have made a purchase with to ensure whether you have profits or losses. Consult with a Tax Accountant to ensure that you have all the right documentation to document your purchases. Hopefully...
