In order to be one of those evil people, usually you need to get old...and maybe a lot of horrible people never got to live to the age that the Koch’s and dotard did in order to execute their evil.

The world is terribly unfair and karma has a way of missing those who so dearly deserve its retribution.

May the memories of your departed friend ease your sorrows and speed your coping with the loss.

And yes, I actually pray to God to take Donald Trump from this world. He doesn’t exercise, he eats crap, he doesn’t sleep, and he’s filled with hate (and incites hate). I see no reason why he should live while good people get diseases and die.

My ex bass player was in town and we went to dinner. He had a brain tumor and cyst that had to be removed. It was successful but it left him permanently disabled. It's as if he had a stroke. His whole left side is permanently affected. He's a great guy. It was a travesty. Why him and not some of these evil scumbags?

P.S. very sorry to hear about your friend jeep.

My brother died at 40 as well, of a fulminating heart attack while playing golf with my BIL, a doctor, with a group of friends, also doctors, within sight of the hospital. Even so, nothing could be done.

His last words were "I am so happy".

an artist musician acquaintance of mine passed at 27 of a brain aneurysm while walking down the street. his death caused a small scene of folks to disperse, ending an art/music collective who couldn't stay together without his centering.

life really sucks and then someone you know dies.

A memorial in her name is set up for the Kindergarten class department. I think this is cool. so that Shaley's dreams of setting up STEM learning centers will be set up.
