Rough Weekend!
« on: February 23, 2009, 04:25:06 PM »
Got a call thursday from a deer-hunting buddy, his dad had a massive stroke and was in ICU. Went to see him friday after work. I stopped at my father-in-laws saturday afternoon, when I was there his wife's brother called, told him his wife just died of cancer that afternoon (she wasn't even forty yet).
-About an hour later, one of his buddies wives called to tell him that Barney is in the hospital with a blood clot in his lung. When I was on the way home I called My friend to see how his dad was doing- he passed away sat. afternoon.

-Sunday afternoon a guy that I went to tech school with calls me to tell me that a guy we went to school with died on saturday from cancer. He too was young-early fifties.

- Ken-the one that had a stroke was 72, but he was the hardest working guy in deer camp, he was always the first guy to grab the rack and start dragging, first one up in the morning to make coffee. A few years back when  his grandson-in-law hit a deer bad (hit the off-side shoulder on a quartering toward deer) he trailed that deer for two days, and got it. I hope God doesn't kick that tough old goat out of heaven. He worked his butt off all his life and deserves his rest.

Thank you-
Just found out yesterday my uncle Charlie is in a diabetic coma and has kidney failure. There goes another one! I am going to quit answering the phone on saturdays.

My prayers are with you all :'(
Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered - - Thomas Jefferson 1802

Hang in there bub... Life likes to remind us sometimes that we don't have much control.
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

Thank You Sam-
We've had our differences of opinion, sometimes we forget that we are all in the same boat. I appreciate the words of kindness.
