Mel: I wanted to respond to your comments from my perspective, and hope the others will not mind....
> Shirley: No kid is ever better off without their mom - at least that's my opinion.
I know. But I still feel the same.
> Shelley: What do you mean "when he reads them aloud"? Does this author do radio shows or am I just very culturally impaired here in the midwest?
David Sedaris is a National Public Radio ("NPR")Commentator, according to the bio included with the book. I've not heard his radio program, though. Amazon sells his books; the softbound editions are inexpensive and fun.
By the way, if you would've made it in to buy a gun for your bullet, wouldn't it have been nice for that salesperson to ask what you needed the gun for so you could tell someone?Something tells me gun shop people don't really care what you're buying a weapon for: They're all meant for killing something or other. My hunch is that most strangers don't care to have their day ruined by some mental case claiming he/she wants to kill himself. Heck, I have done what I was supposed to do to "tell" someone about this desire I have (it's really about a lack of desire) to end it, and they sure didn't seem very moved to do anything. It reinforces for me that I am indeed right about myself: I AM worthless! I guess I'd laugh if I read that pathetic statement, thinking it was overly dramatic and stupid. I really don't know anymore what this is about; all I know is that I'm frequently (not 24 hrs a day) unbearably empty, confused, and not "getting it". The people around me seem contented. I don't understand how they do it. To me, my expected life span seems way too long.
Chris A: What kind of lethal med did your spouse keep around for influenza? I am just curious...
I was wondering the same thing.....
