I just got some sad news . one of Sarahs friends Heather her dad lost his job monday. and last night he hung him self out in the shed behind there house. I dont care how bad things get they are never that bad.

[CK1]

Wow, my heart goes out to that family. loosing a love one is never easy but under those circumstances... its just tragic. be there for them because they will need it.

This is a piture of sarah and heather is on the right. She is the one who lost her father this morning. She also has a little brother too i think he is 7. Kids dont deserve this. Killing your self solves nothing. It only hurts the ones left behind.

That is really tragic and must have been traumatic for the family.

That is so sad Tigger no one should end their life like that. No matter what the circumstances it becomes a terrible waste of life. My condolences to the family i know you be there to support them. Their'll need all the friends they have for this difficult time.

this is such a waist. the guy was only a few yrs. older than me. had a beautiful wife and two great kids. wife has a good job too. cant understand why he did this over lossing his job, from what Sarah has told me they would have ben ok for a while till he was able to find work! they have some family came in from out of state to help out. i told sarah to let me know if there is anything we can do. grandma took dinner over to them last night.

Yeah sorry for the delayed reply but there was more important stuff going on in the topic and I didn't want to interrupt. Overall it was a fun trip and I got to meet a lot of girl i like, and even worked with Sophie Dee in her booth for a while. I've been talking with her online for the past 2 1/2 years so it was nice to finally meet her in person and she was just as nice in person.

Fascinating! Thank you most kindly, Dave. I know that there's a couple genealogy programs (or programmes if you prefer) on the BBC or ITV (I get BBC America, but they don't show those programs--I'm happy with Dr. Who & Torchwood), and I know Lisa Kudrow was trying to get one of them imported for the US, like we stole, I mean borrowed, any number of your shows to Americanize them. More often than not, I find when I wind up talking genes with my fellow countrymen & women that they're surprised to find that there are a number of well-known British names who have American connections (i.e., The Queen Mum, Princess Diana, Winston Churchill), but does it surprise you at all to find that your Lord Mayor had American ancestors? Or that Rachel Ward and Adam Hart-Davis also have American connections? In Lady Ward's case, she's a great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Sen. William Bingham; in Adam's case, his maternal grandmother was a Borden from New England (that would be the same family as Borden Condensed Milk and Lizzie--Adam's grandma was also a great-aunt of Adlai Stevenson III).

We just finnished with dinner and Sarah was trying to dish out some icecream and it was frozen solid. so she asked me if i could get some out so i grabed the scoop and dug in and a big piece flew out brazed sarahs hair hit grandma in the arm and landed in pouncers dish! we all had a little chuckel out of it and grandpa said now that the cat has his how about the rest of us. grandma took it from me and put it in the microwave for 30 sec and sarah was able to dish us out some and pouncer enjoyed his too!
