PJ is like your first deep love: when it's over, you don't love them anymore. But you can never hate them. The thought of them brings so many memories to mind, and maybe a smile to your face.

My last couple years were great, because about 75% of the time, everyone in the store would stop taking delivery orders 20 minutes before close. Unless the GM was there. If he wasn't, it was great. Many a night, as the closing driver, I actually finished up and left before close.

My wife and I went back-and-forth on buying a house. I wanted to keep renting, for numerous reasons. One primary reason: I figured If something broke, it's on the landlord to pay to fix it.

When Pearl Jam played in Moline last fall, Mike McCready used a guitar he'd borrowed from Rick. At one point, after a solo, Matt Cameron yelled out "Smash It!"

Easy Bluemoon…just try to calm down and shake it off.

Given your life experiences, I can understand why you would feel the way you do. I'm sorry to hear you were treated the way you were.

I can understand your point of view, and I wholeheartedly agree it is not ethical to fantasize about or wish for the deaths of others.

That opinion is popular with me!
