Hoping she gets good care, thoughts are with you Thanks, Rhyta, I appreciate it. Mom is out of the hospital as of yesterday and in a rehab facility, hopefully she will get strong enough to return to her apartment soon. Lots of physical therapy so far so I'm cautiously optimistic. Hope you are continuing to perk up after covid. Edited October 26, 2023 by blueschica 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually yesterday, but hearing that Aaron Spears has passed away earlier this week made me really sad. Such a loss. Way too early. Rest in peace, Aaron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just watched the film for the Beatles last single "Now and Then". Couldn't help but cry a bit, it was so good to hear them together again and the film bringing up images from the past, truly amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Pete Waldmier, long time sports columnist for the Detroit News, passes away at 92. Pete was a straight up bad ass who didn't take any s**t from anybody. When the News was sold to Gannett and they were looking for more of a "suck up" for the Sports Department Pete, who had an ironclad contract with the News told them to stfu. I loved the guy. Rest well, Pete! https://deadlinedetroit.com/articles/31605/lengel_fearless_and_full_of_chutzpah_and_life_ex-detroit_news_columnist_pete_waldmeir_dies_at_92?fbclid=IwAR0qwqaH15mHBV16qbODuZYiB-4qW5yXQyCVHSSznrUJCT3LY9V0tPLejYQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMontanaSKY Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Some sad news from back home made me irritated at how unfair life can be. Show appreciation to the decent teachers in your local schools. They don't get paid enough for what they put up with........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Just found out that my longtime friend, Diane, lost her firstborn, Jeffrey (41 years old). DRUGS ruined his life for the past 20 years or more, and now they finally got the best of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So my father died in September of ‘22, after a two-year battle with metastatic prostate cancer. My younger brother had a heart attack last July, at the age of 38. He has a pacemaker and he’s all right, though. Then his mother, my stepmother, passed died suddenly at the end of October. But what’s gotten to me the most is that my younger son, almost 17, was diagnosed with severe depression a few months ago, also. He’s cut himself a couple of times…goes back and forth between being ‘better’, glimmers of hope for the future, etc., and then terrible fits of anger and depression just keep coming back. In 20 years of being a parent, this is the most difficult time I’ve ever had. I believe he absolutely can come through all of this. But every day is a challenge. And even the smallest of victories mean everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A couple of bummers: A 7 year old girl is killed when a 5-6 foot deep sand hole she and an 8 year old boy were digging on a beach in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea collapses, burying them both. Unknown how long both were buried. On a more personal note, a four tooth bridge in my lower jaw came loose to the point that I can remove it. I can fix it temporarily, but a long delayed course of dental care is in the offing. We know how that might go- If it's fast and cheap, it won't be good. If it's cheap and good, it won't be fast. If it's good and fast, it won't be cheap. Ah, well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
