Things that make you sad

[Klynne]

Sorry to be a bummer. But in order to be happy, we must experience some sadness.

On my way to the dentist today (if that is not sad enough, hate going to the dentist), I saw a dead kitten on the road. He/she wasn't already really messed up yet, but, just laying on the road motionless. I wanted to pull over and pick it up, but, the road was very busy and I was afraid that I would get hit by a car. So, I cried the rest of the way to the dentist, and avoided taking the same way home so I did not have to see the body. I am tearing up right now. Maybe I need some meds.

I was driving north on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago with traffic sort of slow when a young boy and his German Shepard darted into traffic to cross the road. The dog was hit, the boy was not but it was so awful to have witnessed that and watched the young boy's distress and knew there was nothing I could do to help.

There are many, many other things that have made me sad, angry.... and will continue... life, huh?

[Klynne]

Jack,

That is so sad. I am happy the boy did not get hit. He must have been heartbroken over his dog. It is horrible to feel helpless.

A man walked into a school that was 2 blocks away from my old montreal appartment today with a gun, and he started shooting.... He killed a girl and many others are in the hospital...

It makes me sick...

Yes, there will be things. And it is life. I guess I would rather have feelings, compassion, and sorrow, then living life as a robot. I am glad you don't live life as a robot.

So, here is another story. I work in downtown Grand Rapids. One morning, when I went into work, I saw a small bird that was huddling by the front door of my building. I took the elevator up to my floor, but, I could not forget the bird. So, I grabbed a box, went down, and sure enough that bird was still huddled there. I left work, and took the bird to the local nature center. Went back to work, and called several hours later. The bird died, but they told me it was very kind of me to bring it in so it could die it peace. I have reverted back to childhood. I use to bring home every creature I would find that I thought needed help. Use to drive my mother crazy.

Max - I was watching CNN this afternoon as they were relating the info on that. Any new information? Damn.

It makes me sick and sad. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

That's what I thought. I just figured there was more to it :o

No, just that. No impaled Frenchmen. Just really awful pruning.

Mayo Clinic uses powdered mix to make their low-cholesterol eggs.

They use too much water in their oatmeal.

The End.

Boo. :mad: Oh, wait. This is the sad thread. :( (Still mad though.)

<<<<<<<<a wheel fell off my wagon. Anybody have one of those red endcaps? Its not like I didn't abuse it and carry rocks and stuff and leave it outside, but it has Monroe shocks and its one of the loves of my life, that freakin thing. It represents my childhood and all future capacities. Damn it!

When I see this one little girl, instead of being happy, the presents of her makes me sad.....A lady I use to work with back in the early 2000's was in her early 40's. She thought that when she left the company she had it made. She got a really good paying job and took it, and her husband starting a new job which took him on a 2 hour commute both ways 5 days a week. Things looked good until her husband fell asleep at the wheel one morning and was killed. This broke my heart up, but her luck just got worse. A couple of years later she found another man, and fell in love. And to find out he had cancer and died also. And then if that wasn't bad enough, her oldest daughter got married and had a little girl. That was good, but a year later she was in a car wreck and died also. So anytime I see the little girl all I can think of is the sadness in that family. :(

presence.

presence.


and... 'used'.

however.... pernickertyness - is that a word?? - aside,
the last story was very very sad. I took a long while to visit this thread as I try to steer clear of sadness. I'm an eternal optimist, although some could misunderstand that and think that I'm superficial.

I am sad because someone I know really well is cheating on his girlfriend, and the girlfriend in question is my best friend... it's hard to deal with.
On a lighter note, bad grammar also makes me quite sad.
But in general I'm quite happy.

[Jack Flanders]

^^^ So, are you going to tell her or keep it to yourself? Then, later, she'll find out that you knew about it already but didn't tell her. Hmm...

Your brother is the most important one in this scene, unless he's a total shit. Family matters, but you have let you friend know what an asshole your brother is. Sibblings can be really dumb.

Luck with that!!! It's hard to separate friends/ family/lovers.

my company's parent company decided to sell us off to liquidators today. tomorrow i have to say goodbye to coworkers and a job i love.

[Coffee]

What??? You and your co-workers weren't included as part of the sale package? How rude.

[auntie aubrey]

they can't liquidate people!!

basically they sold my company off to another company that's going to sell off every asset and squeeze the last penny out and then shut the whole thing down when they're done.
