  3. Maybe that's why U2 are in Santa Monica? New stage design perhaps?
  4. I really need to find a sport to watch from November-March. Hockey seems to be the logical choice. No way on football as long as I live in Michigan.
  5. The house is so hot that we've camped out in the living room with the door open and security door locked and there's nice cool breeze coming in.

  11. Originally posted by MacStripey:A close, fatherly friend of mine, a friend of 20 years, was delivered to hospital this afternoon with a sudden heart attack.

    We just rang his wife. He has just passed away. I am numb.
    I think my dad just lost his best friend. He and my mom just drove over to their house to give comfort to his wife. And they celebrated NY a few hours ago with best of mood.

    No words. Just like that. Gone. If only I'd drink alcohol I'd get myself drunk like hell this very moment.When will this ever stop.


    the funeral was two days ago. it was difficult of course, but the ceremony in the church was beautifully arranged. the music they xhose to be played for him was aan instrumental piece by Santana, and twosongs by German singers. Well chosen lyrics. I felt my dad shaken next to me and tears were flowing. When the church people came to carry our friend's remain out to the graveyard I realized for the first time he really is gone for good. Hard to deal with.
    His wife is broken, 45 years with him side by side and now the hous is empty and silent. We do all we can to help her get along.

    The thing I took home with me from the ceremony? Something the priest said. Something like "You only die once. But those who stay behind have to live with your loss every day." Something like that. It made sense. So I changed my mind and changed my last will. That's all

    this was just fr the record, for those who read my previous post here as quoted above. Let's go on with life now
  12. ^ that must have been tough for you and his wife, I'm so sorry I'm glad that it helped you realize that something, and maybe make your journey a bit easier (?). There's a positive side in everything, even in the darker of the darkest times.
