When I was a teenager, a person I didn't like died in a car crash.

I made no bones about not missing him, and my grandmother told me "When God lays his hands on someone, you take yours off" or something like that. I laughed at her comment (we didn't get along).

Two months later, one of my best friends died, and yes, some vultures had the same response to her death that I did to the aforementioned.

I believe Gram was right and never did it again.

That's a nice story and a good lesson. I would suggest sharing it with someone who needs it. I never spoke ill of the Senator or his family.

That's the problem with striking a reply those that come later assume all sorts of stuff about you.

What I said was There is too much dying going on around here. But I put "" around it and a southern accent.

Apparently that is in worst taste than certain screenames around this board and some who have said what I would consider to be beyond what I wrote by miles.

"When God lays his hands on someone, you take yours off"

Love that! So, so true! I'm going to make an effort to remember that for future use. Your Grandmother was a very wise person.
