Went to the bank on Monday and deposited a check for the company .As I walked out I noticed my dog crewin' and rippin' my new Corvette cap that I had left in the truck .I didn't really pay any attention to the fellow that entered the bank as I was leaving.I get a call from the local police and they want to see me el pronto.They wanted to know about the fellow who entered the bank as I was leaving ,description of him ,clothes his vehicle etc. They wanted to know if I had been armed when I was in the bank as I have a permit .No, gun is under the seat of my truck ,I didn't really notice anything except my dog .
They ended up arresting a 31 year old that went to school with my youngest son for bank robbery .I know his father well and often have breakfast with him.Real great guy.I wouldn't have recognized his son though .
#2 We're contractors and company X got me started way back in 1970 .We're still working for 'em and I know all 150 people first hand.Tues.I was in one of the offices talking and just bull chittin' with Bill one of the devision managers that I'd know fairly well for 20 years .He was upset about his ex wife and his failed marriage .She was a real estate agent that had a habit of screwing most of her clients (great sales tool).So anyway I spent about an hour with Bill mostly listening.Tried to understand how he felt Etc Etc.The next day Bill didn't come to work ,he had committed suicide (shot himself) The moral of this is Don't ask me for advice. Sufferin' damn ,shoot yourself over a women (or man).
Sad stories. I feel bad for the family of the bank robbery suspect, and I feel bad for Bill's family. These are desperate times we are living in, and I pray to God that things get better.
Big hug to you, VettBoy. It sounds like you've had a stressful week. I hope you can relax a bit.
Wild Wille, that guy killed himself over a woman? Thats nuts........she don't care and she was a azzhole when he met her.........you can't make a silk purse out a pigs ear.......
Sometimes it all falls apart in a matter of minutes.......think Katrina, Loma Prieta, wild fire, the list goes on. I suppose the loss of a wife is a major deal, but its not the end of anything its only the begning of something better.
A guy used to come into shop and he was the ladies man...........and he'd brag about the sucess of his latest dumb bunny hunt........well one day he was bagging on a new one that he really didn't care about.......the exboyfriend found out about and hung himself in a tree right down the street from our shop.........the ladies man was talking about how stupid the guy for killing himself over this woman that he was bagging........he didn't care.
The woman herself didn't care..........the guy hung himself for no reason. Ya, know when you kill yourself you're only hurting those who love you..........if the man or woman in your life is all that matters to you then you're already dead.........
I think it's really hard for some people to except the fact that there are Millions of other women (or men) out there.Fat ones ,skinny ones ,yellow ,black ,white ,two tone ,bald ones .There is always someone out there for ya.
In my case my wife and I have been together since the first grade and we've always been faithful.If something happened to Nancy I'd be mortified but she'd want me to go on with life.
Well, good Wille, thats the way its supposed to be. You're mate is a help mate but not you're life.....well all have different commitments.......my brother was murdered at 19.........his life was done........he put in his time. I've never gotten over it, but I accepted it......I will see him again.
I have done things that he never did........I had a wife, children, grandkids, but my time was different than his...........he didn't have to service for that long.
Almost everyone that I have ever loved is long gone...........it gets that way when you have a long time to put in. Tell everyone that you have today, that you love them and that you always will forever.
Great Advice as many of us go through life never thinking twice about these things that could happen.
