    I love to hear stories like this. I wish we would hear more of them instead of all the crap in the news these days.

    ...I feel the same way, Jill. Unfortunately, "good news" does not sell.



    "I make my living off the Evening News
    Just give me something-something I can use
    People love it when you lose,
    They love dirty laundry

    Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
    I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
    Come and whisper in my ear
    Give us dirty laundry

    Kick 'em when they're up
    Kick 'em when they're down
    Kick 'em when they're up
    Kick 'em when they're down


    We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
    Comes on at five
    She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam
    In her eye
    It's interesting when people die-
    Give us dirty laundry

    Can we film the operation?
    Is the head dead yet?
    You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
    Running bet
    Get the widow on the set!
    We need dirty laundry

    You don't really need to find out what's going on
    You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
    Just leave well enough alone
    Eat your dirty laundry

    Kick 'em when they're up
    Kick 'em when they're down
    Kick 'em when they're up
    Kick 'em when they're down

    Dirty little secrets
    Dirty little lies
    We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
    We love to cut you down to size
    We love dirty laundry

    We can do "The Innuendo"
    We can dance and sing
    When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
    We all know that Crap is King
    Give us dirty laundry! "

    I've always said that it cost nothing to very little to be nice. You can't put a price on kindness.

    It's just a real damn shame that more people can't do it.

    tough read as my grandfather just died (less than a week ago) and he and my grandmother were planning on celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary in a couple of months... I know the situations are different... but still reminded me of him...

    ^^^I can't imagine spending 65 years with someone and then suddenly losing them...I'm not sure I'd want to live on.

    yeah... my grandmother heard him tell her than he was ready to go see Jesus now... and her response was to save a spot for her as she won't be far behind....
