She bought and sold books, and every nook and cranny was full of books, piled to the ceiling, in pyramids and columns and piles. The longer we stayed, the spookier it got, especially when we went to her kitchen to pay for some books. On the kitchen door, in bright red letters (lipstick? paint?) was written: "Thieves! Thieves! Return the doorknobs thieves!" (The doorknobs were there.)

I'm not one of those who claim suicide is a selfish act, because it's impossible to imagine the pain another feels.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-30323006712998350822013-04-07T22:13:39.951-04:002013-04-07T22:13:39.951-04:00During my career as a police officer I saw a numbe...During my career as a police officer I saw a number of deaths by sucide. The determination involved in some them was truly astonishing, and sometimes haunting--like the young lady in your account.

That alarm clock will stay in my head for a long while. It's not the type of story I think I would write, but who knows. Some day, I may turn toward something more on the literary side. If so, this situation would make an excellent background.R.T.

And HE feels qualified to criticize national health care!<br /><br />Fran, I also remember you have your own personal tragedy. We can't forget.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-61635463572369564832013-04-07T07:25:52.118-04:002013-04-07T07:25:52.118-04:00Leigh, these events happen everyday.

We just don't know about them, but when we do, it makes me realize the fragility of life.<br />Yes, Florida is full of the weird, but this week living in South Carolina is far more embarrassing. Can you believe South Carolinians voted to put Mark Sanford back in office after he left the state the way he did when governor?
