thought for the day?

i spent 36 hours watching someone close to me die last weekend, he had empahysemia, copd, prostrate cancer , and yet, every lifes breath to stay here he fought for , as i left the hospital i couldnt help thinking to myself i must enjoy and make the most of this precious life, if someone that ill could hang on so long not wanting to let go, its very precious indeed x

Just read the harrowing story about this young lady who in a desparate cry for help posted her final moments on facebook.
It’s reported that she was victim to online bullying aswell. Don’t know how true this, but after she had posted that she had taken some pills a few people responded to her new status very unsympathetically.

Not everyone is so strong mentally to take constant taunts/bullying etc. We see cases here often of people being picked on. Here it is more intense than facebook I imagine. Far less users and we kind of get to know people. That also goes for some board users here who find it funny when some are being picked on and reply on certain threads with sarcastic comments and dancing emoticons.

So next time…….take a step back and think. After all we are all adults. :roll:

can only comment on some posts on my own facebook that this is hoax virus, onlyy what ive been told no reason to confirm or deny, my only reason for adding this is to advise caution if clicking n too the link xxx

this is not information i impart usually, but from first hand experience being homeless is very scary and fraught with dangers. when i left a violent marriage with only what i stood up in and a 2 year old daughter i moved down to bletchley to do a living in job, when that job finished milton keynes council wouldnt house me because i hadnt been here long enough and birmingham city council wouldnt house me (where i came from) because i had been gone too long!! i begged them to find me somthing but no one , but no one would help.

this is when i spent 2 weeks homeless, sleeping mainly on new street station because it was well lit and at that time you had a lot of activity overnight, it was before the time of cctv cameras in fact it was 30 years ago and the world to be honest wasnt as scarier place as it is now. i was old enough to remember the documentary ‘cathy come home’ where her kids were taken into caree and i was terrified most of the time. you didnt see beggars in the street then so much as u do now and i basically llived on my wits, stealing small and only absolutely necessary things from shops , using the child benefit to get myself and my daughter warm meals when we needed to, but, we got by.

i wont go into the ins and outs of how we got out of it but we did and i got a council place in milton keynes moved in with a box of toys , a suitcase and 2 matresses the council liaison bloke got for us and i have been here eveer since.

the number of runnaways tho even then , young teenagers ffrom terrible terrible backgrounds there wasnt the network they have now but its an experience i thank god only lasted 2 weeks i had to go the then publiic health place and be deloused tuts , but dont knock anyone till u have walked a mile in their shoes, some very very sad cases out there, theres a lad on our estate who got caught up in the twilgih world of drugs same age as my daughter, i noow always think ‘therebut for the grace of god go I’ and i concur thin, yes we should of course be thinking of those who dont have what we have, not only the homeless here, but evryone who for one reason or a nother doesnt have the luxury of a warm home, and loving family xx

Poor mites, it’s as well they wern’t starved of oxygen isn’t it.

touche’ :wink:
