How did you know?

[patriciaruth]

Rest in peace, dear Farah.

I do understand. However, would you should up at someones calling hours and make negative remarks?

I realize that this thread was not calling hours, but it was a homage to her life.

None of us are perfect, actually far from it.

I thought it was a left field remark and commented on it.

I didn’t think it was that big of a deal to post that but some seems to thinks I was wrong.

Whatever.

Yes Free Republic is a Conservative forum of ideas. We generally, that is those of us who believe in G_d leave the judging to Him. Even the Atheists abide by this rule here.

Have you seen today's vile Michael Jackson thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2279499/posts?q=1&;page=1#1)? It does not support your viewpoint.

[Albion Wilde]

I’ve heard it often that we shouldn’t judge. Typically from liberals, but also from those with a religious background... I’m not clear on HOW to implement not judging.

FReepmail for you.

[Mercat]

Wow!!!

[EDINVA]

Thanks, Albion ...I’m feeling so selfish in MY loss ... but after a long struggle, my friend is at peace. Actually she survived a year longer than docs had told her, and I’m sure it was because of her great, positive attitude ... less than a week in hospice and she went quietly, with her daughter at her side. And, oh, what a life she did live ... no regrets.

it does happen in threes. my bet is Michael Jackson.

OUCH! . . . . you got any suggestions for numbers for the Lottery this weekend?

[Albion Wilde]

[... Cancer isn’t caused mechanically by outside agents...]
Really? Then why are we so afraid of asbestos and cigarettes?

Those fall in the category of environmental pollutants that can contribute to weakening a susceptible individual's immune system in such a way that a cancer can develop, but the other factors would have to be there, such as a genetic predisposition and possibly a triggering virus. Otherwise, 100% of people exposed for a long time to cigarettes or asbestos would get cancer. And we all know some old grandpas (mine died at 80 after smoking unfiltered roll-your-owns from the age of 7) who did not die of the same pollutant.

[Albion Wilde]

It’s gonna have to be six including Bea Arthur & David Carridine...who’s next?

Walter Cronkite.

[Albion Wilde]

Peace.

[bustinchops]

She was a lovely lady and seemed very sweet. May she rest in peace and may God comfort her loved ones.

[Shyla]

No harm, no foul.

FReepmail for you...

Called it - 2 hours in advance of fatal heart attack.

Can I get your phone number? I want to chat with you about a lottery.

[T Lady]

Same here.

[LowCountryJoe]

What a call!

[CurlyQ]

Did you predict that The USA will beat Spain, The Giants beat the Patriots, Applichain State beat Michigan, and The Red Sox come back from being down 3-0 to the Yankess and come back to win the series. And do you think the Cubs will win the world series this year?

That's spooky dude. When am I going to cash in?

(No, don't tell me, I want it to be a surprise)
