Have to say, I agree...

There are plenty of real people in the obituaries every day that lived true hard working lives. I have far more sympathy for their deaths.

Yeah! Down with the celebrity robots! Long live the little people!

last time I checked celebrities were real people too... :blink:

I meant real as in not celluloid. That is why I bolded the "real". I think people get way to caught up in the death of celebrity they do not really know but feel some connection because they are a public figure that comes to their home via some media source.

Why oh why did no one tell me there was a group therapy session I could attend to assist in dealing with my grief? And here I've been trying to manage it all on my own. :cry:

Gertrude didn't want us to grieve. She wanted her legacy of notebooks to be memorial enough to her life. However, I couldn't let her passing go without bringing together a group of complete strangers to take part in a very public online debate about her very private demise. It's the very least I could do, I felt.

Compassion is so rare in this cruel wicked world. Are you taking up donations?

Who is Gertrude? Was she a member of VJ?

a member of the commies for christ group

She recruited me when I was still young. We ended up having a tumultuous affair. Then she dumped me for the next recruit. So when I cry over her death, I cry for my lost innocence.

She spoke highly of you until the end. Her feelings were confused at the time of the affair. She was a strident Boyd's Syllabic shorthand type of girl. You twisted her head with your Dutton Speedwords. It would never have worked out.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

I can never look at another stenographer the same way again.
