happy birthday dear rocky

ps. no offense ham, i just tend to read the last post on threads .... hugs

because you would have added so much to what everyone was talking about and because you're great

thank you

hearing you talk....rummie, wish you could have been at my family's thanksgiving day.

try not to get caught up in all this nonsense if you can find it in yourself, just ignore them and everybody else

i pray for people who believe they are trapped. i truly do trust in god and our lord jesus christ that they can help them if they want help.

a close friend and i were just talking not an hour ago about young ladies we knew who thought they were the only one privileged to be spiritually taking care of the man of god until going to see him and bless him and finding him blessing someone else. how gross now, of course. but one would probably have to try and understand the mind and the past etc. of a person at the time. i haven't gotten kris's book yet. i just don't know if i want to re-live my hell right now

pppfffftttttt

i hope the poor fellow's family sues the azz off walmart -- not like it will matter -- but that's the only place it might hurt just a wee bit i couldn't believe they didn't close the doors once a week i have gone to walmart to get a few household items that are so much cheaper there. but i don't feel like going there anymore

mstar !!!!! can you give a link to where you're quoted in the newspaper ? also, my brother asked me to tell you he'll be at carnegie hall tomorrow -- Arlo Guthrie Pete Seeger Guests: Family Members of Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger :) we were thinking about you yesterday as alice's restaurant rang through the speakers at our family gathering love,ex

a 34-year-old man actually died today. how black is that

from what i heard, he was just opening the door. i'm speechless and sickened NEW YORK (AP) -- UPDATE FROM VALLEY STREAM POLICE: The victim is identified as Jdimytai Damour of Jamaica, Queens, according to the 5th Squad police. He was pronounced at Franklin Hospital Medical Center. According to detectives, Damour suffered from an undetermined death when a stampede of shoppers, physically broke down the doors of the Walmart located at 77 Green Acres Road, in Valley Stream, Long Island. Damour was knocked to the ground. The exact cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner’s office. A 28 year-old pregnant female was also transported to an area hospital for observation. Additionally three other shoppers suffered minor injuries and were transported to area hospitals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A temporary Wal-Mart worker died after a throng of unruly shoppers broke down the doors and trampled him moments after the Long Island store opened early Friday for day-after-Thanksgiving bargain hunting, police said. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a ``tragic situation'' and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store. "The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority,'' said Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman. ``Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families at this difficult time. At this point, facts are still being assembled and we are working closely with the Nassau County police as they investigate what occurred.'' The 34-year-old employee was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., Nassau County police said. The exact cause of death had not been determined, and the man's name was not released. A 28-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant was taken to a hospital for observation, where she and the baby were both reported to be OK, said Sgt. Anthony Repalone, a Nassau County police spokesman. He said four or five other people suffered minor injuries. Police said the crowd of shoppers knocked the man to the ground at 5:03 a.m., three minutes after the store opened at the suburban location about 20 miles east of Manhattan. It wasn't immediately clear how many people pushed their way in. A metal portion of the door was crumpled like an accordion. The industry's largest retail group said the incident was rare. ``We are not aware of any other circumstances where a retail employee has died working on the day after Thanksgiving,'' said Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman at National Retail Federation. Shoppers around the country line up early outside stores on the day after Thanksgiving in the annual bargain-hunting ritual known as Black Friday. It got that name because it has historically been the day when stores broke into profitability for the full year. Many stores open early and stay open late. The Valley Stream Wal-Mart usually opens at 9 a.m. Items on sale at the Wal-Mart store included a $798 Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV, a Bissel Compact Upright Vaccum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as ``The Incredible Hulk'' for $9. Nassau County police were at the scene investigating.

music has been and always will be one of "the" parts of my spiritual journey when i went to see superstar on broadway (i think it was 8th grade class trip), i cried and cried and cried when someone knocked on my door my freshman year to witness to me, i had to take the needle off godspell. i don't quite get that

when your life is falling apart, sometimes greasespot and cult talk is superfluous

i've always had a problem with laying my soul out there but i really don't trust people anymore meaning i let it out there too much i think it's really really nice that he thinks this is his favorite song that the wrote

thank you for the hug mark and the lyrics with lines in between them thank you for even hearing me, mstar. i'm okay. i don't have a choice. i have to be okay. i have a child my whole life i've been hanging by a thread, but i've never let go and i'm not about to i just like to talk i guess

thank YOU waysider this might be one of the toughest chains for me than you for seeing me i love you

ps. this is not a (what's that word) for sympathy. honest. i realize the unreality of what goes on here i just need to put it out there because i have nowhere else to put it at the moment thanks
