Oh my. People here are shocked at the shooting of a coach this morning in Parkersburg, IA. This was the town that was hit with the devastating F5 tornado last year and wiped out. Coach Thomas was instrumental in helping to rebuild the community.

Shot in the head at point blank range in front of about 50 students in the gym in weight room at the high school. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/24/...hot/index.html

Me, I'm still feeling overwhelmed by raccoons and air conditioners at home.

Yes, Alffe, my husband, like evryone else, is having a hard time comprehending that this really happened. I heard him tell someone, "If there ever was a person you would think that something like this could never happen to, it would have been him."

Cherish each person in your life everyday.

I also lost a friend in a needless way, a few weeks ago. Her name was Colleen and I grew up in her home almost as much as mine. She had a daughter who was my best friend and our mothers were best friends-and we lived just a street apart. Her daughter moved away when she got married and I moved ,too, but not far. So the way life goes, the older you get, the less age difference matters. So she became my very good friend. She saw me through the deaths of my mom in 1982 and my dad last year. She had heart attack symptoms a few weeks ago, including severe neck pain-went to the emergency room and they told her it was not her heart-gave her pain meds and sent her home. Since it "wasn't her heart" she didn't even call her daughter, who is an RN. Went home, took her pain meds and died from a heart attack. In 2009. An ER Dr., in 2009, didn't take her seriously because she was a woman. Can you believe it? Sadly, my pain was starting to get under control enough that I thought I could visit her more this summer and we could do things together. I miss her so much.

((Gma)) I am SO very sorry for the loss of your friend. I don't want to imagine life without my best friends.

ER doctors and heart attack symptoms in 2009...no I'm not surprised, and most especially wouldn't be surprised if you had said it happened up here at our hospital.

GRRRR. It wasn't that long ago my godmother called 1st nurse in the middle of the night with discomfort in her chest, upset stomach, and she was scared. The first nurse told her to chew some Tums and try to relax and go to sleep. Next morning she went to her gp and he blew a fuse! She was in the cardiac care unit immediately.

Women and heart attacks - getting very prevalent - and women often present with such different symptoms then men.

Shame on that emergency room. Now I'm wondering which hospital it was.

I'm so sorry.

Got the lawn cut in case it really does rain as promised.. And I got the "words" put up....think I like them.. Found a big red, white, and blue ball stuck in the bushes, threw it in the hot tub and Cooper is having a fit! *grin...He'd pop it in a flash as it's plastic.

Seriously considering a nap even tho it's so late in the day.
