Well in London, in another act of "random craziness" there was this. The child suffering a brain haemorrhage; fractured spine and broken bones in arms & legs. Police have said that there is no link between the suspect and the victim who was visiting London with his family. Other parents there at the time have said the 17yr old seemed to be stalking those with children.

OMG yes I've read it this morning in my newspaper. And the killer a 17 years old teenager. What happened to this people. What is in their heads - only hot air? And here in Germany (Frankfurt) a refugee has thrown an 8 year old boy and his mother ahead of an incoming train. Only the mother survived. X_XX_XX_X

And the Dayton Ohio Terrorist was ANTIFA.

Insanity knows no allegiance.

This though makes me even sadder. Crazy world.

Sick, sick, sick.

The mother survived but the grief will last a life time.

That's the though that makes me sad.

What makes me sad today started yesterday...
It was a day that I knew was getting closer. So, I thought that I was mentally prepared for it; however, I was 100% completely wrong. After 13 wonderful (but not long enough) years, we had to say a final goodbye to Peanut, our rat terrier.

I miss him so much already, the house feels so empty and quiet without him following me around everywhere I went.

When looking up quotes for his urn inscription, this one just says it all...

"If tears could build a stairway, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
Forever loved, forever missed. "

Hi Jase - I really really will understand you and I will feel with you. But 13 years are are proud age and be happy to have all these wonderful memories of all these years with your Peanut.

I know that I will be full of tears if my Buddy will leave me one day.

But .... perhaps after a while .... a new Peanut?????

every day is a new opportunity. you can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again! c'est la vie.

Here's what Ralph Waldo Emerson, a person I hardly listen to, said about the matter:

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense.”

Sad & Disappointed

One of my closest friends is getting married next month and I can't go.

 

[trencherman]

A desperate person broke into my car and took what insignificant (for me) little things he found there, my driving glasses, old Rayban sunshade with blistered coating, forty year old tire gauge, an empty Bulgari cologne in the shape of a hockey puck that smells of rubber. I felt sad that there are unfortunate people in this world that would risk getting caught stealing these useless things.

I am more inclined to worry about the unfortunate people who are terrorized by such thieves. You do realise that if he will do that to you he will just as easily break into the house of a 90yo granny living on her own. An 'easy mark'.

The main thing is you didn't happen upon him in the act, because you might have ended up being beaten to a pulp! X_X

Often when these things happen to us we start to experience Stockholm Syndrome. Even if you do not meet the criminal, you can still experience a lower level of the syndrome. If we think the person who did something bad/threatening to us is a nice and sweet guy deserving of immense sympathy, we feel less threatened and less anxious. It's a clever defense mechanism of the mind.
