What's going on cats and dolls? Here about the school board shooting in Bay County Fl? There are so many shootings where we currently live on the news that you become used to it, but up in the nether regions, not so much crime. I know, give it time....but by then most of the country will be living like we might some day soon- on wheels, traveling wherever, seeing the country, and staying away from the suburban anger, self loathing and smug elitism that has taken over our good country.
Message to now defunct man who waved a gun around at my friend's mother and mumbled some diatribe that is yet to be determined- everyone has bad days, some of us just know how to deal with life better. Perhaps something we don't know about hurt you so deeply you felt justified to act out, but hurting innocent people doesn't make your case.
too sad about that whole story. I am sure there is more to it than the press is letting on- specifically, that he probably had some personal contacts or issues with some of those board members before, and had his own nasty reasons for doing what he did. What a sad case.
On to better things- I know we all get wrapped up in buying our kids presents, making good food, attending church services, and traveling to see family each year. Remember there are easy ways to help the homeless and those who are in shelters. Most local county shelters would LOVE any extra blankets, sheets and pillows you can wash and donate. You can also call to see if you can buy/sponsor a Christmas dinner (usually only $25 or so per meal) so that someone has a full plate of hot food. You can drop off warm winter clothes at any charity organizations on your way out of town, or you can do the very easy Pick an Angel charity where you sponsor a child's Christmas with toys for them to be surprised with.
It's a great gift for you own children, and for yourself too- the lesson of giving and reaching out beyond our own small worlds. Find the time! You have the heart...
