I wish John Lennon were here
------ My wife is dying. She needs a liver transplant. We're going through the insurance/hospital/government/industrial-complex BS. We have two little ones. The silliness of this. Either God will smile on her; or she will die.

I am drunk. Smoking good ganj with mygirl, and crying.

i miss JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm, John Lennon, john-john, Paul.....

What the fuck happened to this country.

4. I hope God smiles on her -- I miss them, too --
All of us here are trying to take our country back.

Love, and peace, to your family.

5. You're all in my prayers
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 03:04 PM by redqueen
It fills me with sadness to read of your children who may lose their mother - you despairing of losing your wife.

It fills me with rage that rich people can get TWO liver transplants, because they're rich.

God bless you and your family. I wish there were something more I could do. :(

*hug*

Do what is right with your immediate state of affairs. In order for this world to survive we have to be a Tribal Nation. Anything other, we die! Exit stage left, forever!

7. They were all killed by the same group
Busheviks.

Don't kid yourself...this is NO coincidence.

When is the last time a Bushfriend has died under mysterious circumstances?

Not John Tower, he died "conveniently" as he was starting his Iran-Contra expose.

Not John Heinze, he was a Liberal Republican who was getting ready to oppose the Emperor Bush I with all his might.

Actually, the last Bushfriend to bite it was Salem Bin Laden, who customary to Bush Assassination M.O died in a small plane "crash" in Texas shortly after meeting with Emperor Bush I. Bushfriend Saddam was given the "Lee Harvey Oswald Treatemnt" but I think he gets to live...maybe.

Bushfriends like the Bin Ladens and Hitler and Ferd Marcos often end life betrayed by the men who originally supported their endeavors.

8. i never died said he...
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 03:18 PM by Ysabel
i dreamed i saw joe hill last night,
alive as you and me.
says i "but joe, you're ten years dead"
"i never died" said he,
"i never died" said he.

"the copper bosses killed you joe,
they shot you joe" says i.
"takes more than guns to kill a man"
says joe "i didn't die"
says joe "i didn't die"

and standing there as big as life
and smiling with his eyes.
says joe "what they can never kill
went on to organize,
went on to organize"

from san diego up to maine,
in every mine and mill,
where working-men defend their rights,
it's there you find joe hill,
it's there you find joe hill!

i dreamed i saw joe hill last night,
alive as you and me.
says i "but joe, you're ten years dead"
"i never died" said he,
"i never died" said he...

* * * * *

- much love...

9. I have an aquaintance who had a similar situation a while back
His wife had a previously misdiagnosed liver condition that was fatal, he was spending all his money on her treatment, and was facing raising his kids alone.

When the wife went critical, she was moved up on the list and got a liver very quickly. A year later, he won the lotto and paid off all his bills and invested in the company he worked for, and now he and his dad run it.

Miracles can happen, so I pray that you will get yours.

12. It's not over
My brother had a liver transplant in 89. It was tough going for about a year while he was adjusting to the anti rejection medicine. He is in great health now. I hope hers works out as well as his.
God Bless and give her a big hug from me.

13. Jealous Guy
i was dreaming of a past
and my heart was beating fast
i began to lose control
i began to lose control
i didn't mean to hurt
i'm sorry that i made you cry
i didn't mean to hurt you
i'm just a jealous guy
i was feeling inscure
you might not love me anymore
i was shivering inside
i was shivering inside
i was trying to catch your eyes
thought that you was trying to
hide
i was swallowing my pain
i was swallowing my pain
--------------
You will make it through this and be stronger for it.
We're here for you.
