Niche, I guess you didn't read my response to you in post #62. And SilverJK, I'm guessing, that you don't read much at all, if that statement qualifies as the most "ridiculous". Niche, how can you possibly think that those who commit suicide are braver than those who choose to move forward and face everyday troubles or worse, head on, instead of taking the easy way out and leaving others to clean up your messes ?

Please lady, don't even "pretend" to know anything about me. You haven't a clue as to who I am or what I've been through. Why don't you go make better use of your time, wasting it, "caring" for schizos and weak-minded folks with suicidal tendencies ? "Oh, the poor jumper", screw him, he made his choice. People who had to witness his selfish act didn't have a choice. That is who you should feel sorry for. But you haven't addressed the victims, so it is obvious, you don't care about them. When you start caring about the TRUE victims of his heinous act, then you can preach to me about "compassion".

Niche, we have already established that I don't care if someone offs themself, just as long as they aren't endangering the life of someone else in their process. I agree with you, basically 99 out of 100 Schizos wind up harming themselves before they would harm others, I see that as a good thing, they off themselves before they off an innocent party. That's the lesser of 2 evils, if you will. Again, it goes back to weak-minded individuals. I also said that it is a weak-minded person who commits such an act, I still stand behind that statement. I understand how some of you people see that as callous. I see it as only the strong can and will survive in this world. Since you like to read so much...... http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_...k/insane_8.html BTW, your parents worked at a rehab center ? My Father was CFO/CEO of a fortune 500 company for 15 years, and my Mother was a Loan officer at a Wells Fargo for 10 years, that doesn't make me a financial expert, now does it.

And just what is my opinion of people with Alzheimer's ? Depression, does not a justification for suicide make. In my experience, people with Schizophrenia usually try going after OTHER people to kill, NOT trying to kill themselves.

In the future....... try reading the WHOLE thread , before you comment. I refer you to post #46 in this thread. But to answer your question, if one feels the desperate need to kill oneself, does one have to make a spectacle of oneself to do it ? (i.e: trying to land on someone's car during lunchrush from a 10 story drop downtown)

Emme, you have to look at everyday as a blessing, not as necessary. If you made it through the day, that is a GOOD day. I can see someone having a "bad day". But, do you truly believe that suicide is justified, barring a Kevorkian diagnosed, terminally ill, you ain't coming back from this one, so let me put you out of your misery, type assisted suicide ? Assisted for that, I agree with. Stepping off a 10 story building to do a belly-flop because I lost my job, my wife is cheating on me, and my dog just died, is NOT justified IMO. I call these types of suicides selfish because do you really think that the guy considered that he might fall on poor ttu's car, or quite possibly ON ttu. No, he was only thinking of himself..........selfish. I wish you compassion as well, compassion for victims like ttu as I do. The jumper is NOT a victim, he is a consequence of his own actions.

"Some days are good, the rest are necessary." Did you really just type that ? If that is your outlook on life, you may as well do yourself in NOW also. There is nothing, NOTHING, in this world that is soooo bad that you have to kill yourself over. But, there is a certain "thinning of the herd" that is required from time to time, so, perhaps the weak minded and heartless, need to succumb to their endeavors ? Wait, you're right, people who commit suicide aren't cowards, they are SELFISH cowards.

I'm not gonna feel sorry for a coward. Suicide = Coward.

Sorry that you had to witness that ttu. Not a good way to start your day, is it ?

Ya Mon, totally Irie !!!

Are you saying that YOU are gonna be the first Swine Flu death ? Anywho, the media here in Austin has already started changing the name of Swine Flu to the New H1N1 Virus, noticed it today while driving to an appointment. I have already told the head office that I won't take appointments in Cibolo or Shertz, or anywhere near San Antonio for the next week or two. Better to be safe than sorry.

You truly believe that it matters, don't you? For that matter, why didn't you ask the same about Muslims ?

President Ford made an announcement concerning Swine Flu back in the 70's. http://www.capitalcentury.com/1976.html CONSPIRACY THEORY ALERT: I personally think it is all a ruse. A way to make more people believe that we desperately need to close the border to Mexico, and put more security on it. Although it is a REAL disease, it is being blown out of proportion. Officials closed the whole Shertz ISD down for a week because of Swine Flu, Shertz is a suburb of San Antonio, about as far as Katy is from H-town.

I was under the impression that after 50 yrs. copyrights no longer have effect. You can do with it as you like as long as you give props. You aren't trying to make money on it, you are providing a service to this community.

Wow, those places were fully renovated about 12 years ago.

T&W, the only things I have ever eaten there is the Burger and the Grilled Chicken sandwich. Both were fantastic. The rolls are what you go for though. LOL! Gotta be careful or you'll fill up on them and have no room for your entree'. I ordered 3 dozen rolls @ Xmas. They can come frozen, unbaked, as they make the dough right there on the premises and then load'em up on trays to go into the cooler. I can pop in as many as I need at a time and have the poppin' fresh goodness anytime. I believe WIllie Nelson is part owner in the Texas Roadhouse venture.

No, that's testicular fortitude.

My father was Operations Manager of Flexitallic Gasket in Deer Park then. Flexitallic makes these HUGE copper gaskets for all the oil pipelines in the surrounding areas. They were hit especially hard during this time as all the oil companies were scaling back production to counteract OPEC's B.S. Somehow, my father kept that business going and then 6 years later they made him CEO then 3 years after that they screwed him over, but he was ready to leave anyways, so it all worked out.

bump !

I'll bet the folks in that Sheraton were shaken out of their beds. Nice wake up call.

We are looking for you. YES YOU !!! The class of '89. It is time for the 20year reunion. We have a big Group Page over on Facebook. If you don't have a FB page, get one. Lots of old friends to connect with over there. Anyways, if you are too lay to join up, then there will be 2 shindigs. An informal get together on July 17, 2009 and then a big Hoopla of a throwdown July 18, 2009. If you have questions, just PM me here. Be there or BE A GANDER !

Pretty sure the arcade TV mentions in Westchase was called "The Funway Freeway".

No JLW, you gotta get in with a crew. Sheeats is right, definately not worth the price of admission, because if you ain't a part of any particular tent's crew, you really aren't welcome at any of those tents. It is strictly a "Good 'Ol Boys", private party, type of mentality. I got kicked out the Miller Lite tent in 1995, because I was drunk and stupid. Didn't get kicked out because of being drunk, but being stupid enough to bring in two cans of Budweiser with me from the Budweiser tent.

Thanks for the 411 stiletto. Some people have obviuosly still not read the whole thread.

Maintenance fee, is for upkeep of the grounds and property like the pool, painting of hallways, elevator upkeep, security guard, etc. etc. Those places that are seen by all residents and their guests, NOT what is inside your condo.
