A former coworker sent me a text last night with the story of a guy we worked with, and I remembered this thread.
We worked with an IT guy that was also our company pilot. Odd dude, you could tell he had a temper, but I never would have guessed this. The link my friend sent was an article about the failures of child protective services in Colorado. Our former coworker was featured. He did bad things to his toddler daughter, and when the walls were closing in, he killed her and himself. Still trying to wrap my head around it, and kind of wish I hadn't read the story. |

A guy I went to High School with, not a close friend at all but he was an okay guy. We went into the Army right after. After basic I lost track of him.
So probably 10 years back at least, another childhood friend told me "did you hear about Bruce?" Well, over the years, he didn't turn out well, becoming a pain in the ass for cops, drinking and all that. He owned a home next to some other people who were once friends and close in age. His home was similar set up to Zeeks and his dead neighbor, just open area. Somehow a boundary thing started to brew and over time, became worse to threats. One night he broke into their home and stabbed him-not fatally and beat up his wife. Ended up serving life in prison. |

While I have never killed anyone, there are many that others will never see again.

I have several folks that I used to consider friends who are now "dead to me". Is that the same thing?

I mentioned this before at the other place years back Dan and I were both members of the C5-6 registry and due to car issues we exchanged emails. (He was a decent mechanic)
Since he blew out his brains I have received a few pieces of Email from his old email account. Got to admit the first one was real spooky. I never opened them so I have no clue what was inside. I got the last one a couple years ago, hopefully all over for good! |

Have you guys ever seen some of these TV Shows, like Dateline and those other True crime stuff?
Not all but most of these women getting killed are very attractive ladies. |

Many years ago when I was married to my Brazilian Ex-Wife, her dad had an employee at one of his businesses (gas station) that was running the mechanic/tire shop at a gas station he owned. He killed a known local drug dealer at a local bar. My ex-wife's dad paid off the police to let him go as he needed the guy to run the tire shop. They didn't care as the guy that he killed wasn't really an upstanding citizen.. Things like this happen in 3rd world countries all the time. If you have money (or friends with money), you can literally get away with murder like that guy did.
Another incident that also happened in Brazil (while I was there) was that an employee of a friend of ours killed someone in a car accident and he was drunk. He was injured in the accident and taken to a hospital. At the Hospital, they realized that the guy was drunk and "someone" ended up paying off the staff at the hospital not to report that and make sure that he wasn't tested for DUI so that he won't go to jail. I had another experience with a death.. Didn't really "kill" anyone but I played at a local table tennis club with an older gentleman. After we finished, he sat down and collaped. Ambulance was called and he died on the way to the hospital |

What lie would that be? Please post a screen shot. Like this one that you posted and still claim it is not your heating system. If is not for heat please explain what it was for. |

Hey guys, I've never seen anything posted that implicates Big Bob as a bad dude. Why don't you just leave him alone?

My Uncle was a Marine in the South Pacific theater in WW2. He would never talk about killing people, but did tell us about invading islands (he was shot during the invasion of Pelelu), and nearly being over-run by Japanese troops multiple times, etc. Even among his Marine buddies, he was considered a major badass. I have little doubt that he killed Japanese soldiers.
My wife worked a few cubicles down from a guy who got drunk, went the wrong way on the Garden State Parkway, rammed a church van head on, killing several on board. Coincidentally, Patsgarage (is he a member here? Definitely is over at the other place) came upon the crash site and tried to get some of the folks out of the church van, but the van was already engulfed, so there was nothing he could do. |

And it does appear to be glowing and 'on'. At least he has the 5 gallon propane bottle at the other side of the bedroom and the wood varnish project out-gassing near the closed window. Lighten up, Bob. |

At least he's transparent and shares his experiences with us. Whether he takes hits for it or not. Doesn't bum him out in any way. We all get something from it.
You share nothing. Which is too bad, as I suspect at your age, you have a lot of interesting stories you could tell. |
