Walter Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks ally. The press keeps hounding us for a statement. Even showed up to his house last night and was able to coax his widow into letting them in (she was apparently inebriated - and justifiably so) to her house. One of my co-workers who lives by them got the press out of the house once he arrived. Hey press here's a statement, find the fuckin' gold car that ran him off the road and leave everyone else to grieve without a microphone in their face!

pottedplant Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Oh, I am so sorry Walter. This must have you, and all others, just numb with grief. I hope a resolution comes soon. Prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudo's to your co - worker for taking matters into his own hands and putting the widows best interests ahead of everything else. I hope they catch the driver of that car soon !

Strider Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Besides the fire burning near my beloved Yosemite, there was this: Yet another vicious gang rape in India. http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/aug/23/rape-india After hearing from friend's experiences in India, and now after these series of gang rapes that have happened in the past months, I now counsel my women friends to avoid India.

Since I work in the medical field, I have met many people from India. Lots of doctors and engineers come from India, and there are beautiful, functioning parts of this country. Mumbai, however, is a shithole. Remember "Slumdog Millionaire"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, nothing surprises me, since it appears to have been rampant (and nonchalant) among the entertainers of the era...including certain other people we might like.

planted Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Very sad day at work today. To everyone who has cancer, had cancer, or loved or lost someone to cancer: You are my heroes. You show up for treatment despite your fears, and manage a smile and a kind word. I don't think I have ever met a more grateful population. You fought the good fight, K. And you were doing an amazing job with your sons. May your humble spirit, wit and courage live on through them. We love you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutpleindamour Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was un-happy today as I found out that, although I tried, I can't stop spending way too much time on LedZep in general and this forum in particular. It's too addictive and un-healthy. I need some kind of rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some days are worse than others, stz. This one was really tough. Young with young kids. The 10 yr old son whispered into his ear, 'Dont worry, I will take care of Mom'. WHAT. 10 yrs old. And please know, I never share any experience I have to gain sympathy. At times like these, I am reminded of Dzldoc and how great a guy he was. These are the ones along with their loved ones who need thoughts and prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of places will throw in the central air unit so I would look into that if you do not have it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know why I've been single so long.. Death by chocolate is myth This I know because I lived I've been around for broken hearts and how Lay your head in my hands little girl This is only right now Death by crying doesn't exist, though The headaches feel a bit like it You might explode But you reach the end of the road And you, little tree I'm certain you will grow Tears on your pillow will dry and you will learn Just how to love again Oh my weeping willow Let your leaves fall and return Oh darling the seasons are your friend Death by anger this is true Just let him go he can't hurt you Oh little girl this is such a cruel cruel world This is the first, of a million broken hearts Tears on your pillow will dry and you will learn Just how to love again Oh my weeping willow Let your leaves fall and return Oh darling the seasons are your friend Oh it won't be long you will grow strong Up up and away He's but a falling leaf, he's but a falling leaf, he's but a falling leaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SozoZoso Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I didn't get that job, it was factory work (which I had been doing for 15 odd years) I guess it was me telling them that I had Rheumatoid Arthritis but I'm not disabled yet didn't go for me. Well I was asked if I had any illnesses and I thought it was the decent thing for me is to be honest. ^^Damned if you do and damned if you don't. And with this Nazi government intending on killing/wiping out the sick and the poor with their Hilter like ways by scraping benefits plus... my old boss telling me that I would be better off on the DLA..yeah right prove that... In other words, if you are really ill and cannot work, the Nazis Government is gonna scrap what little money you have. So come winter of 2014 you have a choice....you either starve, freeze to death OOOORRRR...you top yourself! In fact fuck winter, you'll do yourself in before that. Sorry I has been one of those days years....so fucking depressed Please feel free to add on or do whatever 'cos I've lost the will to live Edited September 6, 2013 by SozoZoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SozoZoso Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 And BTW....this is not the first time I have been turned down because I have disclosed my illness (even though they never told me why I wasn't successful but it doesn't take you to be Einstein to work that out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
