I'll make a new thread of this.

Reading that the actor Christopher Lee (Saruman) died at the age of 93.

5 years ago my friend's son was killed in Afghanistan

:(

Our cable supplier was down again part of the night ... when I was trying to get on of course. :(

Heeeeeeelp!
 

There isn't a lot of farming going on in this city but we have the BIGGEST assembly of high power manure spreaders I've ever heard of. :shrug:

I don't know ... Illinois ... while a farming state ... probably comes close in terms of those two-legged kind of spreaders. I think they call them Pollut-icians

My clothes washer is making too much noise.

I'm ready for spring. :(

Socks, the alpha male cat who shared his house with my children for these last 18 years died this week. Never lowering his standards enough to be corrupted into eating people food, he maintained order among the four footed members of our household. He will be missed.

:(

I'm very sorry for you loss, jseal. Pets rapidly become another member of our families, don't they?

One of my nieces, Sarah, died yesterday.

I'm so sorry, Jseal. Hugs.

So sorry

Bugger.

Are you OK?

Sarah was only 28. I can still remember her and her little sister in the back seat telling me their Dad drove way slower than me.

Yeah, OF, I'll make it. My bro is having a time of it though.

Parents should not have to outlive their children.

so sorry for you and your family's loss jseal.

Thanks all, it's a somber time here. One of my BILs is in SICU. It never rains, but it pours.

Our prayers are with you and yours, jseal! So sorry to hear of your loss.

Indeed.

BIL passed on this morning.

Sorry Jseal. You've had more loss than most lately.

Jseal, you know our prayers are with you and your family. God bless you all and may He comfort you in this difficult time.

Sorry to hear of your losses. :tear:

Thanks everyone. It's been a rough couple of weeks here.

The possibility of getting sick again after this storm. Not sure I am, but hey, there's always time, right?

With the death of Edgar Mitchell, there are no survivors of the Apollo 14 moon mission.

Sad to hear of his loss. Maybe he'll get to follow mankind's space progress from a new and better vantage point now. Kinda hope so.

Warning - graphic images and sad news story

It's from a few days ago but I read about it last night. Horrific :tear:

That is really sad, FWM. Hope that somehow all those present will somehow find comfort and peace in their suffering.
