Sad news

Any relationship to Kevin Millwood of MLB fame? I guess he grew up in/around Bessemer City.

Suicide is not the answer. I'm sorry for you and your friend.

Back in college, one of my roommates volunteered for the Suicide hotline. They asked him to leave after one day.

Whenever I hear of suicide, the theme song from M*A*S*H comes to mind.

Suicide is Painless.

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please.

I feel for her family and whoever found her.

I heard a piece on NPR one time about suicide. They had an expert on and he said suicide is not a selfish thing and most peoples ideas of the reasons behind it are wrong. He said that the person believes they are a burden and the world and their family and friends would better off without them around. But after hearing what my friends note said I have a hard time believing that. His note seemed rather selfish. Then again his note made him seem a bit insane/sick too. Unlike what the guy on NPR said I bet there are a ton of different reasons for it and you can't just say it's always this one reason like he was saying.

Sorry for the ramble, I'm tired.

From my favorite band - helped me when a friend did this several years ago.

"War On Drugs" - Barenaked Ladies

She likes to sleep with the radio on

So she can dream of her favorite song

The one that no one has ever sung since she was small

She'll never know that she made it up

She had a soul and we ate it up

Thrown away like a paper cup

The music falls

The only flaw in her detailed plan

Is where she wins back the love of her man

Everyone knows that he's never coming back

He took her heart and she took his name

He couldn't stand taking all the blame

He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

In the dream I refuse to have

She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath

We're left to deal with the aftermath again

On behalf of humanity

I will fight for your sanity

How profound such profanity can be

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we

Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

Near where I live there's a viaduct

Where people jump when they're out of luck

Raining down on the cars and trucks below

They've put a net there to catch their fall

Like it'll stop anyone at all

What they don't know is when nature calls, you go

They say that Jesus and mental health

Are just for those who can help themselves

But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?

When the very fear that makes you want to die

Is just the same as what keeps you alive

It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we

Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs

My hands were tied and the phone was bugged

Another died and the world just shrugged it off

ive never understood suicide. i dont know if ive just never been "depressed" enough or been in "that spot" that someone has GOT to be in to be able to take their own life. i just dont get it. it's sad because it's usually over something that is so small and insignificant.

the human brain is a wonderful thing, no?!

I believe depression can and will mess with the brain enough to make people do things they certainly wouldn't normally want to do or ever plan to do. Such a waste at such a wonderful time in her life.

I'll never feel sorry for someone who takes their own life while their loved ones have to suffer the aftermath.

You can go a little lighter on them, you know.

If you ever get to that point, you will understand. Until then, just trust that it is possible, and it is usually not over something insignificant.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
