Arizona murderers leave prostitute outside in cage to die

Don't you have to use humor in these situations? It would be the only way I could deal with the horror of the moment.

I used gallows humor when I had cancer. People would gasp at some of the jokes I made, but it helped me tremendously! Still does. It is necessary in my opinion for me to be a survivor.

Peoples jaws tend to drop open among other things when someone with a serious problem jokes about it. then when they loosen up and start replying in kind and someone else walks in....

I try and use the same approach with the disabled vets I work with. Depending on the situation and them of course. Making myself the brunt of crippled jokes helps to break ice of course. It really helps with depression the vets all go thru because of their disabilities.

I kid around with my friends about my spineless condition and they now kid back. But when someone else overhears they give dirty looks to my friends. My buddies and I usually just crack up about it and really confuse them.

I may have to start up another company, they all want a set of wheels like mine :) 4wd 30 mph top (safe?) speed. A .45 holster, solid state beverage cooler, MP3 player and reclining functionality.

I have 2 of them working in my shop building their own with my training and help. Maybe my company will be made up of disabled vets? ONly issue is I am not sure how many patents I might have stepped on.

It does not work with everyone. Some think you are being disrespectful or something if you do not suffer and show proper misery about their condition. Or even your own condition.

Ohh well.

They are the ones who are still angry for some reason, haven't accepted what has been dealt them, is what I find when I speak with them about it and why they can't laugh.

Makes sense, thanks for that bit of wisdom, it will be useful to me in my tasks.

Prostitute left to die in outdoor cage by Arizona prison system
By Tracy R Twyman


PHOENIX — A prostitute doing time behind bars, Marcia Powell was temporarily moved one day last month to an outdoor holding pen with nothing but a chain-link-fence roof to shield her from the searing desert sun.

She lasted less than four hours.

Powell, 48, collapsed in the 108-degree heat and died at a hospital the next day.....

Barbaric.

Exactly. And some of the jokes are nonsense, some are not so much nonsense.

It's just how people react.

I dunno. I can relate to what Damo is saying. However, three times in my career I've been a witness to accidents in which a man was killed and came close a fourth time when a guy would have become a human torch had it not been for the quick thinking of a coworker. No one was making any jokes at those times. Of course it does make a difference when you and other witnesses personally know the person who was just killed.

I would like a happy medium. My wife and I have two plans. Plan # 1 is to retire in Ashville, NC. You have the change of seasons there which I love and both summers and winters there are mild. Plan #2 is to buy a winter home on the Island of Cebu in the Philippines. Cebu is soooo beautiful. It puts Florida to shame by a long shot and the cost of living is a 1/4 of what it is here and you won't go bankrupt there if you get sick. Hell last time her and I went there I had several thousand dollars of dental work done for $200.

Whoah! Sounds perfect, but I was thinking something central US.

Ashville, NC!!! Gatlinburg, TN is also a great location. Both in the Smokey Mountains. Both are gorgeous locations and both are reasonably located to major metro areas. Knoxville, Charlotte and Atlanta. I prefer Asheville as it's the most eclectic community.

I think it works with most people cause my experience has been is that most people don't want to be treated any differently then anyone else regardless of what their particular situation is. They dont' want to be treated differently. They just want to be part of the crowd.

Ashville is one of the best places I know. And you are absolutely right, it has quite an eclectic personality.

That depends entirely on how many teeth they have.

Actually none of that really matters if you are looking for a worker instead of a looker.

The plain ones do not complain nearly as much about breaking a nial if they help you put up hay for fix the tractor. And no makeup is required for milking the cows.

Good to look at is nice, but attitude is 90%.


Of course I will likely continue to joke about non looker women from time to time :D

Gatlinburg/Pidgeon Forge is a tourist trap el grande.
