GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY THREAD DECEMBER 7TH 2025
Hey Everyone,
Thanks to all the Guardians who came to our 8 hour Zoom call. It was a blast.
it is 1:50 A.M. so forgive me..i used A.I. to pull some facts together. Also i will get caught up on the thread later this afternoon. Now, let me introduce to you Chat Gtpxyz or whatever it's called. Version 5.
Trigger warning. Horror stories from Pearl Harbor
December 7, 1941 — A Day the World Changed
On this day in 1941, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor shattered a quiet Sunday morning in Hawaii and changed the course of history forever. In less than two hours, over
2,400 Americans were killed, nearly
1,200 were wounded, and the U.S. was forced into World War II.
The horror was unimaginable.
Young sailors were
trapped inside sinking ships, pounding on steel walls as water rushed in. Some survived only because shipmates used torches to
cut through burning metal to pull them out. Others were
burned alive by exploding fuel, or drowned in oil-covered water while trying to escape. Nurses worked for
days without rest, treating the wounded as the floors filled with blood. Many who survived carried those memories for the rest of their lives.
So few eyewitnesses remain now. That is exactly why we must
never forget what they endured.
And Now… A Little Light After the Darkness
After reading about a day filled with such tragedy, it helps to remember that
human joy still exists on this date too:
- On December 7, 1949, the first-ever computer error (a real “computer bug”) was discovered, when an actual moth was found inside a machine at Harvard — proving that even technology has bad days.
Ok it's really me again. Is your retirement plan a weekly Powerball ticket? That's my plan. I am going to win any day now..I can feel it. Some people call me delusional. I say I am a sunny ball of optimism. Back later.
Tricia
