Should apologise to Sweetvee

Hi vlvtelvis,

Ok you should of thought before ypou posted that post up. Least you posted an apology up to all of us, but what about apologsing to Sweetvee as that was not nice to post what you did.

Sory to hear you have had a rough deal out of life Im sure yoiur not the only one on LIT to have had or are having one! I have ways i express myself but just cannot post it how i want to post it.

So please be a nice guy and apologise to Sweet Or i think nasty may want a piece of you, which would not be nice to see

Hi Lavender,

1. Let's not turn this into a bash another poster thread.

2. I personally know vlvtelvis and he's a great person. Some people deal with death differently than others. Calm down.

Im not doing that, but you have to agree it was wrong of him.

True some do deal death differenlty, but then again if you can't refrain from posting something nice then don not do it.

Well what is done is done and does no good to keep harping on it.

Ok. Let's all get our knickers out of a wad. He didn't mean that as a slight against sweetvee. No one owes anyone an apology. If he had attacked her personally that's one thing. She didn't know the guy personally. He was trying to make light. We need to get some thicker skin around here.

Ok, i jsut get a bit hot headed at times. I mean well, i just don't express it well Looks like i;ll go hide again...LOL dang need some lessons here on writing properly

Lav,

He may have been playing light on the whole thing. ALTHOUGH, their's just some things that you shouldn't joke about.

 

[nasty]

"That's all I have left to say about that." I'm tired of arguing. This board is SUPPOSE to be fun, DAMN IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!

The final song from Lou's "Magic and Loss" album, one of the best artistic treatments of grief I've seen:

Magic and Loss -- Lou Reed


When you pass through the fire, you pass through humble
you pass through a maze of self doubt
When you pass through humble, the lights can blind you
some people never figure that out

You pass through arrogance, you pass through hurt
you pass through an ever present past
And it's best not to wait for luck to save you
pass through the fire to the light

Pass through the fire to the light
pass through the fire to the light
It's best not to wait for luck to save you
pass through the fire to the light

As you pass through the fire, your right hand waving
there are things you have to throw out
That caustic dread inside your head
will never help you out

You have to be very strong, 'cause you'll start from zero
over and over again
And as the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
lying straight ahead

Lying straight ahead
lying straight ahead
As the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
lying straight ahead

They say no one person can do it all
but you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce
so what is left instead

You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you
you have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment this wonderful fire
started up again

When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly
when you pass through I'm better than you all
When you pass through anger and self deprecation
and have the strength to acknowledge it all

When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic
that let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is passion
and there's a door up ahead not a wall

As you pass through fire as you pass through fire
trying to remember its name
When you pass through fire licking at your lips
you cannot remain the same

And if the building's burning move towards that door
but don't put the flames out
There's a bit of magic in everything
and then some loss to even things out

Some loss to even things out
some loss to even things out
There's a bit of magic in everything
and then some loss to even things out
