    LH - do you mean the murder-suicide situation?

    Considering the date...I wonder if she lost someone in the Towers...

    But to take your kids with you....the boys survived, as one was in a car seat and the other in a seat belt (but was still thrown from the vehicle).

    No, the idiocy of trying to beat a train to a crossing. It happens all too often.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    They had a rash of those in a nearby parish here, every week somebody was getting killed trying to outrun a train for about a month. That is so sad!

    Goes to show just how stupid people can be.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Unfortuneatly, it happens a LOT here. Many people mistakenly think trains go slowly and they don't realize that they can't beat the train. Cargo trains are huge and people don't like waiting up to 20 minutes for a train to go by so they try to beat it.

    I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often in my area. We have train tracks EVERYWHERE.

    A past time of the teens used to be train boarding. You know... running and jumping onto a train when it's moving.

    And you DO have a LOT of idiots that try to outrun the trains or pass through the gates before the train comes.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Crow Noir,

    When I lived in Michigan, I DREADED the trains. You'd sit at a crossing for 10-15 minutes while they SLOWLY went by. The first time I encountered a train, I actually counted the cars. The most I had ever seen was 75 cars!!

    Lady's Human is right. It happens all too often and it's sad.

    That woman wasn't hit by the train she was avoiding, it was the train on the OTHER side that hit her. What in the world was she thinking???

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
