Sad Story

Just read a sad story (www.al.com) where an 8 year old boy died while swiming at a hotel pool. He was attending a birthday party. The group of children and adults were at the pool at night and decided to head back up to the room for the party. When the group got up there, the mother of the child asked where her son was. That's when police were called in to look for him. They found him at the bottom of the deep-end of the pool. He was pronounced dead at Children's Hospital.

I do have a question and I do NOT want a war to start. I want everyone's HONEST opinions about this. Don't put others opinions down. If it gets ugle with the opinions, I WILL take the post down.

So, my question is this: Who is to blame in this child's death--the hotel or the parents?
REMEMBER THAT POOLS HAVE SIGNS WITH RULES AND A TIME THAT THEY ARE "CLOSED"....also there are NO lifeguards at hotel/motel/beach pools.

    If you really want an opinion...then I'd have to say that ultimately, the mother was not paying enough attention to her child. That may sound harsh or unfair, but who is the primary responsible person for one's own child? In the end, I believe this could be classified as a terrible tragedy. Too sad. Indeed.

    You have an interesting blog although a little difficult for me to read with the change in color background, but that's just my poor old eyes talking!

    Thanks for the read.

Good Cry's

I had a good cry earlier. The cry came from my ticket (read my last post titled UH OH). Sometimes you just have to cry. Cry for no reason at all. Cry because you are frustrated. Cry to help releave some pain that you have. I've cried for all of the reasons I just gave. I go in search of songs that'll help me cry. Crying releaves soooo many things. Tension that's built up...pain from a death or breakup...even for no reason. Music helps with that. Trust me on that one. It will always make you feel better. And as much as I hate to admit it, once in a while I do like to listen to love songs and cry. Sad songs. Now I feel a bit better. I just wanna have a happier and less stressful life...but it'll be hard to find. A happy and stress free or less stressful life seems like it only hapens in my dreams or only hapens to the rich. :-/

Kinda sad too

About a month ago, my general manager quit. I had a panic attack while at work once I had his departure confirmed.  I needed that man more than he will EVER know. I still need him. I really do. He made the days better. He listened to me. He cared about me. Was I spoiled? Yes I was.  Is the fact that I was spoiled why, even a month later, the reason I still have a hard time. Maybe...just a little.  The worst is that I trusted this man. I trusted him SO much. And he trusted ME. He seemingly cared about me more than I care to admit.  I also have found out where he now works. I won't say it here. At least, not right now. Give him some time to settle in.  I only hope good things for him. I really do. Granted, I feel like this man broke me. Even though I feel that way, I will ALWAYS wish him the best. I will ALWAYS have his back. I know he still has mine. At least I hope he does.  Tyler, if you ever see this, please know that I am rooting for you. Please know that you can always use me a
