continued from above

Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes.  And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put in a collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy.

What on earth can unite the Americans in such a way?  Their land?  Their galloping history?  Their economic power? Money?  I tried for hours to find the answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace.  

I thought things over, but I reached only one conclusion...  Only FREEDOM can work such miracles.

written by Cornel Nistorescu

It tells the fabric we are all made of and I compare this to the forum as well.  What brings us all together here is FREEDOMM from this virus.

I don't like interupting a thread for a question not relating to the suject (which is a good one) but I like to read the quote of the day, and maybe it's just brain fog, but everything is fine until I get to the word annihilating and thats where I lose the meaning, I guess I don't know the meaning of the word. Can anyone clarify it for me?

My cold feet-- Hey, that's what we are all here for, to help and learn my friend.

The word annihilating or annihilate means: to destroy completely]] nothing.

Grand Oak-- I hear you brother.  That day is close to my heart and I was one of the many there helping.

well I'm Hep C 1a on a 72 wk trip this time, did 48 cleared and relapsed, only on week 2 on this on this one, bad deal is my
Doc won't let me drive now, I'm a 52 yo biker and paramedic and at least last tx when things got too much I could go get wind in my face and forget a while, don't mean to whine but I can deal with the sx and tx but I think the Doc is just protecting his butt because I COULD (never have) have mild encephelopathy from high ammonia levels which I was just told by my hepatolagist, the levels mean nothing unless they are taken arterial. I said is there a test I can take? yeah but we don't do those anymore because the encephelapathy may be intermittant, so I feel like **** (normal) want to choke my Dr. and watching a cheezy sci-fi rerun. THANK GOD for y'all yes I said GOD and hope you're reading it if the shoe fits.... lol Thanks for the time Beagle you seem to be well liked, I see why.

I had tears in my eyes. That day is still so vivid in my eyes. Amazing how it brought all american together. And I agree that is what we all want "TO BE FREE" Thanks, Hope your having a good weekend. I decided to get out and enjoy myself. I start treatment soon and don't know how many more times I might  be able to get out and enjoy. So I took a friend to lunch and went to the casino, for the afternnon. Didn't win but the point was to get out of this house and into a better frame of mind, which I did do that!! Take care everyone... Debi

I think the word was meant to be exhilarating, at least it makes more sense in my fogged up anemic mind.

I think they meant to use the word annihilating which also means devastating or damaging to describe how uncomfortable the moment of giving or receiving gifts can be given wrong intentions behind a gift or a gift that is really off base or inappropriate.


It is an odd word to use in this context if you ask me, but maybe it was chosen for it's awkwardness because it is describing an awkward situation.

I first was shocked, then tears, and then became very angry.  Let's hope this never, ever happens again.

I still can't find the hydrants, think it's still a sx from the riba.

I think we need a pool party before the summer ends.

Fisheress where are you?  Dyce hope your feeling better, and whwere is Dale?
