Devastating loss. I'm so sorry.

KathyK

Well done! Your trainer must love working with you.

It's the easy way out for those who won't consider that easy access to guns is the real problem. Then I'll "take the easy way out" as I don't believe that easy access to guns is the real problem... we've had easy access to gun for hundreds of years and now all of a sudden it's the problem...

KathyK

I'm so sorry for your heartbreak.

KathyK

deflecting the debate from 'gun control' to 'mental illness' especially in a country that won't spend money on public health (preferring to fritter it away on health insurance and private sector) is the madness. It's the easy way out for those who won't consider that easy access to guns is the real...

Many comforting hugs to you, Stef. I'm so sorry.

Astral wrote:"Horn in on." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

Agree.

To horn in is to push your way into something. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/horn%20in
It's been documented in use for over a century.

"blind sighted" (they meant blind-sided). This is truly terrible. "hone in on" - this really bugs me. It is HOME in people!! HOME IN!! Is it? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hone%20in The discussion in the link seems to support the idea that although it is in usage, &q...

...it's kind of like horse shopping, you've got to ride a lot of donkeys to find your heart horse. Maybe a better way to put it is that it's like a fairy tale. Sometimes the happy ending is with the first person you meet, sometimes you have to fight a few dragons, and sometimes you have to kiss a l...

I know! It's enough to make one consider never reading anything on line again.

I'm sorry you couldn't save her, but it's so sweet that you were able to do something for her that she enjoyed. I think I'd be ok with a nice warm bath being the last thing I remember.

KathyK

The comparison horse/man is a little weird. When I get myself a horse, heart horse or not, changing it, training, telling it what to do, dominating it, is a healty foundation of the realtionship. *I* certainly don't want to go into a relationship with another human being under the same premise. ;) ...

KathyK

I am not the heart horse type either, but I have fallen in love with a few men. I knew within five minutes that there was something happening. On the flip side, I usually know within 10 seconds if there's nothing.

KathyK

I can't wait to try this!

Please stop using "purposefully" when you mean "purposely." You sound silly.

This reminds me of our wedding, a second wedding for me, and we clearly stated "no gifts please" on our invite. My hubby caught my MIL telling everyone within earshot that meant we wanted cash instead. He corrected her, but it was too late to stop several folks from handing us checks. We ...

Until you've gone on a date with someone you met on line who told you, when you met in person, that he was abducted by aliens a few times, you haven't really done the whole on like dating thing.

KathyK

I understand exactly what you mean.

KathyK

I think he likes you.

Don't most couples have registries now? If so, they almost always include inexpensive items in with the more expensive ones, and I would think an option would be for a group of friends or family members to go in together on a gift . Seriously tacky to register for gifts when it's a second marriage ...

My SIL said that perhaps they'll realize all this, and request donations to a charity instead. That's what we're hoping for. But I'm wondering--if they do NOT do that, can I make a donation in their name to a charity of my choice? Is that done? Would it be OK or would it just cause problems if I di...

KathyK

kathyK..all those links missed the mark on this one. Been is the past participle of "to be". Therefore, one could say "I've never been IN Paris" or "I've never GONE to Paris". But because you can't say "I am to Paris" it's odd that saying "I've been TO P...

I'm with you Suz. October 15 was a year since Harry died. I find that the week leading up to an anniversary is worse than the day of for some reason. Most days are pretty good but there are some days that I go into that special hell. Joe and Harry will always be part our lives. ((HUGS)) Robyn Hugs ...

Oh Suz, my heart is breaking for you. But if there's any way you can get yourself to go, do it. Maybe being with people who love you and who can hug you and hold you would be a good thing. And everyone will understand if you have to excuse yourself now and then to go be by yourself.

Their, there, and they're seem to be something that has not been taught in elementary school anymore. Should there have been a comma after they're?? If you believe in the Oxford comma, yes, there (not they're or their) would be a comma before the last thing in your (not you're) list. I'm an Oxford ...

Actually, it's longe. According to Wikipedia: The word is believed to be derived from either the French word allonge,[1] meaning "to lengthen",[2] or the Latin longa ("long").[1] In both cases, the root word featured spelling with an "o" and emphasizes lengthening and e...

Thank you!

KathyK

I don't think you're silly or overemotional. It's a difficult situation at best, and that much harder when you're so far away and feeling helpless. Like Rhianon said, we're here.

KathyK

What is with the multiple commas? I'm starting to see them everywhere.

Next!

Ross Perot ran as an independent against a Dem and Repub. I don't think we've had a 3rd party candidate since then? Ralph Nader ran in 2000 as the Green Party candidate. That is how, in my opinion ;) George Bush won. Nader took many votes that otherwise would have probably gone to Al Gore because, ...

They're safer in the US and Europe to practice their religion than they are in much of the middle east. I don't know that that is true. Can you provide some backup for that statement?

Plenty of the members of Islamist terrorist groups have been grown men with graduate degrees. It's just not that simple when it comes to a religious ideology. And many of them also feel unwelcome and unable to practice their religion in the "West," and have come to hate us. Ever since 911...

The point that those meme's are pointing out is that we could very well have a Jesus in the group of refugees and no one would know because there is no tolerance today. Christians especially believe that their Savior is to return, correct? How would you recognize him? Are MOST (not saying you!!) Ch...

musical comedy's post is in line with what I was saying about our veterans. If we cannot support our veterans NOW, how will we support BOTH the veterans AND the refugees. You say "we" a lot. Are you doing anything to help support our veterans? I'm not asking in a challenging way, I really...

I'm not surprised, because I don't think there's much you can say in response.
