Madrone's in Kalamazoo and I'm stuck with you people

[Tsiyu]

so give me some good advice because I really need some useful, sophisticated, sober counsel...

:P

[Tsiyu]

1. Yeah, that's what I thought

What's the next flame bait topic you'ns are cooking up?

Robert Frost? Pansies? Phone cards?

[progmom]

2. cereal?

[Tsiyu]

3. Well, that's too close to the "other" white meat that shall not be named

but maybe a good Granola versus Cap'n Crunch War would get it all out in the open :P

[GOPisEvil]

4. Can I be stuck in the middle with you?

:shrug:

[Tsiyu]

5. Of course! You just snuggle up right here

and we'll wait for the flames!

:popcorn:

[GOPisEvil]

6. Ooooh...flames!

Can we make s'mores?

:popcorn:

[Tsiyu]

7. Hershey's is red- the sons of bitches

so we will have to find some other chocolate

and then i will rub your toes

[GOPisEvil]

9. Ghirardelli, maybe?

Maybe some FRENCH chocolate!

Toe rubbing? Glad I bathed.

[Tsiyu]

11. That's the next flame war topic!

You gave it away!

TOE JAM!!!!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

12. On whole wheat toast - no butter!

Anyone saying different is a freeper...and hates America...and loves Osama. Or something.

[Tsiyu]

13. Yes! Only Repukes

would eat Toe Jam on white bread...with butter, no less!

Freaks and losers, every single one....:thumbsdown:

[GOPisEvil]

14. Yes, let's sit back and wait for the flames!

:popcorn:

I'm sure some freeper troll will out itself here. Positive.

[Tsiyu]

15. Then again, they may be intimidated

by our superior spelling skills and our rapier wit


so now you can rub MY toes!

[GOPisEvil]

16. avec plaiser

Good thing I had my wit sharpened yesterday. I just knew it would come in handy.

[Tsiyu]

17. Can you believe not one person has offered any advice to me?

(keep rubbing and keep that wit at a safe distance or you'll poke my eye out)

Now I await my parents' arrival. My house is a mess and I want to go hide somewhere but i shall entertain valiently.

Keep this place in line while I'm gone, will you GOPisEvil?

:loveya: here's a parting kiss!

[GOPisEvil]

[Zomby Woof]

8. STUCK?

You know you love it. :P

I met Madrone way back in December 2001 at the first Seattle DU gathering. I knew she was cool because she shared my love of Tom Waits. :D

[Tsiyu]

10. Yeah, alright, I do

But I miss Madrone! She'd better get out of Michigan pretty soon and become absorbed again in all the minute details of my meager existence!

G'day Zomb, who is moving to the Great State of California! How's that going? :hi:

P.S. Tom Waits is God - or a reasonable facsimile therof....

[Zomby Woof]

20. Goin' well!

California is my state of origin... so I will be HOME. :D

38 days can't get here soon enough!

[Tsiyu]

25. Awww. Glad you can still DU from the Left Coast

You'll be in good company. Lots o'Californyians on DU!

[gollygee]

21. I'm in Kalamazoo too :D

Of course I'm always in Kalamazoo so that isn't too exciting.

[Tsiyu]

26. Say hi to Madrone for me!

You Kalamazoonian, you! :)

[Madrone]

22. My first time on a computer since arriving - and with a heavy heart.

My friend was in a car accident 2 nights ago. Her 3 year old daughter was pronounced dead on the scene. :cry: :cry: :cry:

The brakes went out on her car, and she tried guiding it off into the grass to slow down - she hit a tree. Her 18month old, also in the car, escaped with no injuries. My friend has some busted ribs, facial abrasions, massive - very painful bruising. She's not doing very well emotionally - I went to see her in the hospital yesterday, as soon as I found out. I had not seen her yet, since arriving in town. She was sleeping when I arrived, and I woke her up. After a short look of confusion washed over her face she recognized me and started to cry. She was very drugged up, and I didn't stay long as she needed to rest. I was also on my way out of town.

Currently, I am in Adrian at my dad's house. I should be heading back to Kalamazoo on Saturday.

Everyone, please pray for my friend.








buddyhollysghost - thanks. :) I loves ya.

[GOPisEvil]

23. Oh, how horrible.

My condolences to your friend.

[enigmatic]

24. I'm so sorry Madrone

Of course I'll send all the good vibes I can muster towards you and your friend:hug:

[Tsiyu]

27. Oh My god, girl!

My folks are here so I have snuck away to check inon the Duers and I am just so sad for you. That is awful, poor baby girl gone, and your friend all banged up.

Some days the world makes no sense. Call me later 2nite and check yer PMs later too and here's a load of love and hugs back atcha, Sister.

i am so so sorry....God I'm gonna cry....

[Madrone]

28. From the newspaper -

there are some inaccuracies here, I believe.


Minivan crash kills girl, 3
Wednesday, June 22, 2005By Chris Killian

A 3-year-old Kalamazoo girl died Tuesday night after a minivan carrying the child crashed into a tree on the I-94 Business Loop, authorities said.

The crash also injured the girl's mother and 1-year-old sibling. Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officials declined to release their names this morning.

Police said the minivan had been traveling north on the Business Loop at about 7:40 p.m. before it abruptly turned left, crossed the southbound lane about 100 feet north of Lake Street and struck a tree.

Paramedics took all three occupants to Bronson Methodist Hospital. The mother and the 1-year-old suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said. The 3-year-old was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The 1-year-old was secured in a car seat in the front passenger seat. The 3-year-old was not in a car seat but was secured with a seat belt in the back of the minivan, authorities said.

It was not known whether the mother was wearing a seat belt.

Anyone with information on the accident can call the Department of Public Safety at 337-8994 or Silent Observer at 343-2100.
