Today is was 'Nick', Dead at 70. He was buds with an ex-gf's Dad, we had hung out together not real close with me, but it just reminds me that one day we will all die, and helps me appreciate every breath we do have. Tomorrow will be better. ;-`) I agree. I am glad every day that I am here. I got to visit with my 2 youngest grandchildren today. That did brighten my day ! Also discussed with my 2nd oldest brother, what the plans might be for my mothers 90th birthday in January. I suggested that since she is basically homebound, that I get a cake, and for food we get pizza and Chinese. Plastic plates and take-out keeps it simple, and no dishes to wash ! We will have a crowd over, and no mess to clean up, hopefully ! Four children, 8 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren will really fill up my mothers house ! Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

tiger1 (OP) User ID: 6269153 United States 11/25/2012 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is a really funny memory of Judy. She used to just laugh like crazy at my exploits, but one in particular took the cake. It was in 1986. At that time, in our neighborhood, we had problems with packs of loose dogs rampaging through the neighborhood, and attacking pets and sometimes people. We just come back from a meeting, and I was going down the street to go to her house around the corner. As I get to the intersection, I saw 4 big dogs attacking a man walking down the street. I tried running over those mongrels with my caddy, and was honking the horn, but they wouldn't budge. I told Judy to stay in the car, as I hobbled out( I had been hurt at work, and was using a cane until I was healed). I hobbled over to that poor guy, and whacked those freggin dogs with my cane. The dogs retreated. Judy told me later, that I was swinging that cane like a windmill ! The man was not hurt, except for some scratches and bruising. He got lucky ! When I hobbled back to my car, Judy was doubled over, holding her stomach, and had tears pouring down her face ! She was laughing so hard, she was in pain. When she finally composed herself, and could talk, I asked her what was so funny? She said that you had to be on the outside looking at this whole scene. This big grown man was saved by a little crippled(at the time)woman swinging a cane like a ninja warrior ! LOL !!! Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

tiger1 (OP) User ID: 6269153 United States 11/25/2012 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One more. Judy was the founder of an anti-pollution group in our neighborhood called Residents Against Pollution(RAP). I was the spokesperson for the group. I am a media person, live cable TV, radio, print, public speaking, etc, a regular rabble rouser. Judy was quiet and studious. We were fighting a company that wanted to bring in PCB laden transformers into our neighborhood, to an adjacent industrial site, and drain them. We fought them, and won, but the battle was interesting. We were followed(I lost the tail every time), had our garbage picked through, people would be around my house with walkie talkies. It was crazy ! To dissuade the company garbage pickers, I made sure that all of my garbage bags had at least SOME used cat litter in them(I had 3 cats). I announced live on the air on my cable show, that from now on, that I hope the company goons enjoy playing with the used cat litter in all of my garbage bags ! As soon as I got home from the studio, Judy and her Mom both called me, and were literally roaring with laughter ! They asked me to drop off some used cat litter in THEIR garbage can. The company goons quit going through our garbage cans soon after this. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

Over the past few years, almost all the friends in my immediate circle have died of cancer. Here I am, going to be 59 next month, and I have outlived all of my close friends except for one. Gee, if I was in my 80's, something like this would not be out of the ordinary, but at this age, this is just unreal. Quoting: tiger1 The friend who died this morning, has been like a big sister to me all these years. She always had a listening ear to my calamnities, and a safe refuge, if needed. She has stood by my side through thick and thin. I am going to miss her so much. Fuck cancer. I'm sorry for your loss. |

Thankfully, I still have all of my best & 'back-in-the-day' friends intact & breathing. I can think of a coupla guys in that group who's untimely death (God forbid) would absolutely floor me... guys that I'm *way* closer with than even my own Brother.
