I talked to a close relative via cell phone today - she was lamenting the fact that she was having a hard time finding a suitable outfit for Easter Sunday. No larger concern in her life than that. I have a hard time understand this kind of thing with her regularly, that her life rarely expands beyond the view from her kitchen window, but it seems a bit more poignant tonight.
A guy I know ..I'm still so mad I could spit tacks....said Terri just needed to die...
I was stunned... I told him Terri that was no way Terri should die or could die....(praying, praying).......
We went back and forth..and then he askes me, "Do you know what she looks like??"
HELLLLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
What made me sick was:
His son is mentally disabled and lives in a group home.
It's amazing how you can think you know people and then you hear stuff like that.
You know, I'd rather have folks like your relative, who is probably just ignorant about a lot of things, than those showcased in #134, who are aware of the facts but are more interested in developing pinglists on internet forums for the purpose of stroking their overblown egos.
