Hug your loved ones

Postby Gator809 » Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:41 pm

Well, up until a few hours ago, I thought I was having a bad couple of days. I had broken a tractor, and hit my tail line for my mo-dad caausing me to have to do a nasty line repair. And I've been sick as a dog with allergies and such.

I just got verification that a guy I called a good friend and worked with for 6 years was shot along with another man for $250 by some piece of <bleep> thug.

They were working at a parts store on sunday, and a new hire employee from another branch walked in to rob the store. After they opened the safe, one of them recognized him, and he shot both of them dead in the store.

That parasite of life is now in police custody and admitted to killing them.

I'm just in shock and really don't know what to say.

Yes, very sad... Your right about hugging you loved one, cause we never know when that will be the last we have a chance too. Reminds me of what the Holy Bible says about making the best of today because we're not be guaranteed tomorrow.

Sorry about your friend...

So true Hank...carpe diem! (Seize the day!)

Prayers on the way for the affected families too.

I found this old Cub, Forgotten and Forlorn,
With pistons and valves frozen and worn.
Help from my buddies on Farmallcub.com,
And an engine from Ralph, (37’s the one),
Now ole Corky is running and back to life,
Much to the surprise of my dear, dear wife!
