Because I Coudn't Help Myself

[raginglunatic]

It's not going to do any good, it's not going to result in any miraculous change of MO, but it was successful in the venting department. Not my best work, but I have an asstonne of stuff on deck that needs tending to, and wasn't able to concoct one of my better offerings--and it couldn't wait, either

righ one, sista!

To Florida Senator Bill Nelson:

The government is throwing taxpayer money at the very companies that caused this disaster without establishing any rules. It is up to you to act responsibly and do your best to inject some sanity into this situation. Our elected officials are the only hope we have. I believe you to be a man of intelligence and integrity, and it is my fervent hope that belief is not misplaced.

Save your country. Do something before big business ruins us. Don't follow the other lemmings over the financial cliff.

Thank you for your attention,

Sherry Gray

Very good, and puts mine squarely in the steaming pile category!
Well, maybe not that bad, but yours is nicely professional.

Sad News

I just got an email from Raging Lunatic's (Jen) boss, saying that she hadn't heard from her in a week and was concerned, so she had spoken with Jen's brother. Apparently Jennifer passed away a few days ago. I'm hoping to hear back about where to send condolences.

You can leave any notes or thoughts here, we shall be
back to read them.
I thank all of you who was her friend ,
she loved all of you and spoke of you often.

Jen did not want a funeral or a any type
of religious retual , this seems so cold and stark,
but she often thought it was a waste of time and
money. My other kids are still debating this.
If you have any input please feel free to add your
thoughts here.
thank you for being her friend.

Jennifer's mom

Note to add, she was found in her home, and her
death was ruled a heart event .
I call her to wish her a happy turkey day
and she seemed fine.
Her neighbor call the police to check on her
as they had not seen her for a few days and did not
hear her coughing.
The police here came last night to tell us.

"She has gone gentle into that good night
and I am left alone in the dying light"

The news of Jen's death was such a shock, and hit me hard. It's incredibly sad to think that she won't be around to comment on ... well, everything, but particularly US politics and tv shows

Dear Mrs. Koplitz

[cedarseed]

It's really weird to say goodbye to someone you've never actually met. Jen, I was terrified of you as a newbie, relieved beyond description to be on your good side, and discovered later you were kind-hearted and embarrassingly perceptive on top of your better known smacker qualities. I can say I learned a few tricks from you, so in a way you're still around. I'm sure you're chortling at certain developments and taking a well-earned break from the idiocy on this plane. Be well...

[sadlunatic]

The few that were close to Jen were special to her, if you knew her you knew where you stood with her, she will be missed by me more than even she would have known. I especially will miss the 'techy geek' input sessions on the phone when there were some questionable things going on with the computer. IM's at work and periodic phone calls. We were very close but in a distant kind of way, we both felt the love of each other no matter what part of the country we were in. I love and miss her terribly.

I was absolutely stunned when I read the news earlier today. I remember when I first encountered Jen on Writtenbyme eight or nine years ago, I thought she was marvellously entertaining and opinionated and and we instantly hit it off. Then, when WBM closed down, we'd chat on AIM and she would dispense both wit and adult advice to my teenage self.

I was without internet for a period after that and was so pleased to find her on LiveJournal when I subsequently started my old journal. I unfortunately hadn't been in touch with her for a while as I hardly ever had LJ access, but I will always remember her comments, her always-amusing and always-informed posts and the comfort she offered after a particularly crushing breakup.

Jen, it was a pleasure and an honour knowing you and my deepest condolences go out to your family. Say hi to Elvis.
