@SW-User So god saved you a day, huh? Guess you're intending on heading to the South Side? Uh...OK.
But yeah. Haha. Pretty funny. Nothing like a doctor being killed by her former fiance, and other innocent people being shot, to make me crack up too. Safe travels. (Still say you might want to reconsider your screen name).

@Ynotisay Wow. Thank you. Living in Illinois, this is nothing new. You can say what you want but I am happy I'm still alive.

Yes, I have to go to the south side because my doctor is currently there.

Don't shame me for something I can't control.

@SW-User I don't know. Maybe it was the haha and making a tragedy about yourself that got me. I'm just wired that way I guess.

@Ynotisay I make light of situations because so much bad happens. If I feel bad about all the messed up things in my state alone, I would be in a mental breakdown.

It's a defense mechanism of mine to get through hardships in life. Sorry.

@SW-User I understand. It's called gallows humor. It's how a lot of people get by when they're in the shit. Soldiers are a good example. The downside is that the stuff gets buried. The result is usually being desensitized and callous or it comes to the surface and causes people to go off. I'm not psychoanalyzing you. Just sayin' that sometimes it's good when the first thought is compassion. But you do you.

@SW-User that "ha ha" was incredibly innapropriate

@Fernie I explained myself but go ahead. Lay it on me

@SW-User think before you haha
@Ynotisay @Fernie @SW-User

I dunno. Maybe we can all not lay into anyone.

Maybe that's a lesson here...

@CopperCicada I don't think so CC. We didn't beat her up...we pointed out an insensitive haha. She handled it well.Nothing wrong with pointing things like that out
@Fernie OK
