I will update as soon as I get more information.
Today would have been my brother Barry's 50th birthday but at the age of 32 he decided to take his life. Robin Williams suicide has reopened old wounds. These diaries are a way for me to work though some of the emotional turmoil. Thanks for indulging me.
The death of Robin Williams by his own hand has dredged up memories of my brother's suicide. They both were gregarious people loved by everyone who knew them but haunted by so much inner turmoil and despair that they decided to end their lives. This is only a brief introduction to the devastation suicide can create. My brother adored Robin Williams and they even resembled one another. They both chose asphyxiation as the means to end their pain. This diary and the follow ups will be a way for me to vent and as a way for others to, hopefully, understand the unique grief associated with this act.
North St. Louis County in an area known as Ferguson there has apparently been an officer involved shooting of a 17 year old unarmed African American male. The young man was shot 10 times reports are varying... One says he was returning from the store another says he was on his way to the store.
Senator Claire McCaskill had suspended campaigning for several days last week because her mother, Betty Anne McCaskill was hospitalized. My thoughts and prayers go out to the McCaskill family.
My mother, who is 72 and works full time, has told me repeatedly that she wants proof of the Obama Administration helping people. Yesterday I called her..... and explained how he has directly helped my family.
I just go home from volunteering at an event in Cape Girardeau, MO. Senator Barack Obama and Senator Claire McCaskill came to a clothing factory for a townhall meeting with employees. The Thorngate factory makes high end men's suits. Many designer brands(IF they are made in the USA) are made in this Cape Girardeau factory.
Well, not in person but...on the cover of a free magazine sitting by the register. My local healthfood store is a haven for Christian Fundamentalists. Why? Follow me under the fold
It is very disrespectful to label Republicans- Repugnicans!

Yesterday I found out I'm a really bad grandmother.
I took my 5 year old granddaughter to see the movie "Happy Feet" during her Thanksgiving break from Kindergarten.
Last night I attended a meeting of the Missouri 8th Congressional district/ SEMO Democratic Rural caucus. This was my first meeting. The discussions centered around the wins...few local, but Claire McCaskill is our new Senator! The major discussion was about, get this, IF we would do anything in 2007 or WAIT until 2008!
