Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

He was one of the teenagers who seem to gravitate to Hubby through gaming or the Society for Creative Anachronism, working their way through their post-adolescent angst in my backyard. I've been hearing his stupid laugh in my head, and I hate being able to picture him getting more and more befuddled there in the forest.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh, Connie, that is so sad. Head injuries are nothing to fool with. I can not empahsize enough, if you fall down and bang your head go straight to the doctor! Tell all your friends, go straight to the doctor!

I did a 3am pick up at the ER just last weekend when a friend of my daughter's fell backwards and smacked her head. A CAT scan said she was fine, but a week later she's still having dizzy spells and other problems. Head injuries are so easy to underestimate.

That's haunting, Connie.

Wow, leave the board for a day and look what happens. I'm so sorry for all of you. How sad and tragic and maddening to be faced with such loss.

Hey Pix, Bring us some good news, ok? Have a great interview/guest teacher tomorrow!

I am still painting....just the primer. I haven't even made it to the actual paint. Sigh.

I'm so sorry for you losses. And Connie, I'd be partly raged at this point.

Aims - sorry for not saying anything last night, but I was dead tired to even being to understand the story with your uncle. Not that I'm much more awake now, but I still can't make sense out of it. And for once, I'd wish they bring back the good old stoning. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
