This medical examiner is making me laugh.

I know this is serious, he takes everything literally. There will be no leading of this witness!

Trayvon Martin followed proper procedure.

We teach our children about ' stranger danger'. The schools hold seminars with law enforcement professionals for our children, our most precious resource, to help them learn to keep themselves safe. Why are some people convinced that a young scared man, fighting for his life, should have not done what he was taught to do?
We tell our kids to be wary of strangers, and rightly so. Evade,hide, run, yell, and if all else fails, fight like your life depends on it. It just may.
This is what we teach them.

What do you do when someone dies.( in place of prayer.)

I come from a very religious family, so when someone gets sick they do a lot of praying,and calling on others for group praying. I want them to know that I care, but I'm not willing to join the prayer circles. I call and try to stay in touch, but I feel like persona non grata.

I like to light candles for the dead, just to think about them and remember their energy, good times I had with them.

I am not being invited to Gramma's funeral.
Should I just fake so I get to be there?
Or just light my candle alone like always?
