    @avoncallingu - how are you; I bet you'll sleep tonight. As @Lynn49 said, you must be emotionally, and physically drained.
    Said some prayers for you today.

I called our DD because I knew that she knew her name, and asked if that was her name (thinking it might be a hoax call), and she confirmed it is, so I told her I was going to check on her. When I got out the door, a few neighbours were outside her door and I asked them if they, too, had rec'd the call, and they had. Long story short, our next door neighbour knocked on her door, her car was in the driveway, then he opened it, and found her on her kitchen floor. I just saw her mowing her lawn yesterday afternoon and waved to her!!! So an ambulance came, a detective, police and I just left there...they're awaiting the coroner.

    What a sad way to end the day...I called our DD back and told her and she said, "I know." I said how did she know, and she said she thought of her this morning, just out of the blue.....and that usually doesn't mean anything good.
    I used to do with with friends...I'd seem to sense that something was wrong and call them just to chat and sure enough someone was ill, someone was in trouble, etc, etc....seems she has that "lovely" gift, too, if you can call it that.

    Anyway...just feeling sad at the moment, regretting not getting to know her better...her DH passed away a few years ago....just a yucky, sick feeling right now......
    So sorry hear news Lynn .. we never know what we will face from day to day .. life is too short so enjoy ever second you can .. hope weather is still nice .. guess your getting time now to enjoy in your camper . Take extra care yourself sweetie hugs

    Another rainy good morning.
    I'm so fed up with all the rain, but I intend to have a good day regardless.
    I hope yours is a good one.

    Good morning, everyone!

    Such a sobering event last evening, still with me this morning, so many thoughts swirling around.
    I was wondering why our neighbour's DIL didn't call the police to check up on her MIL rather than trying to call all us neighbours...would they have taken the time to check, after they hadn't heard from her for a day and a half?
    We kept asking the police who were there to please return her call, since she was at home just waiting for SOMEONE to call her back, responding to her request, but who knows when that may have happened?! None of us wanted to give her the sad news.

    And what of other elderly people who live alone?! I know there are church groups who regularly call their elderly parishioners daily for a little hello, but what of people who don't have that resource? So many are left behind as their kids move to different cities, provinces, even countries, as this lady's son had. It's just all so sad......

    HOWEVER.....we all woke up this morning, on a hopefully sunny where you are, too, day...oh, it's gorgeous out there! DH and our SIL have gone golfing, and I have a few things to get to today, also.

    Everyone....take good care of yourselves, @
    22hicks, keep resting as much as you can with Jake pulling at your knickers.. @avoncallingu, Honey, decompress today from that very special ceremony you arranged for your dear Husband yesterday...it sounded simply magical...

    I cannot remember being more furious than I am at this moment!!!

    IF A FAT GIRL FALLS IN THE FOREST DO THE TREES LAUGH?

    THAT, my friends, is printed on a t-shirt on amazon.ca!!!

    I've emailed agencies, the news, amazon and I can't think what else to do, to ensure that this piece of trash is removed from their web-site!!
    Young girls, tweens, teens, live on enough of a tenuous line wrt their looks, they don't need another reason to feel ashamed of themselves! Shall we all encourage more suicides?!!

    Omg...if you can think of anyone else I can contace, please let me know....I feel like I'm living in a twilight zone right now...how on God's green earth did this pass by any scrutiny??!! Or does amazon even give a damn?!

    [SIZE=3 @Lynn49 - thank you.

    The sun did come out for a few hours, so thank you @GoodBoy, but the skies are now dark with thunder & lightening.

    @Lynn49 - I can barely believe that in this day and age. Suicides have spiked, and with all the attempts to help girls feel comfortable with the way they look, some inconsiderate idiot comes up with this, and Amazon agreed to sell them. I wonder if letters via email to some of the news outlets would do any good; i.e. radio stations, & newspapers .

    I SO agree, @22hicks !!

    I did send it along to Marketplace, my MPP...just voicing my disbelief and disgust that something like this still persists. I think, if I did it properly, it's also on my FB page.

    I started a thread about it in the "Health" section here, Amazon's almost immediate response to my email, and my return response.

    I'm still honestly furious.
