(Does this sound like anyone you know? I can think of at least five people off the top of my head….)

Idiot: “Dammit to hell, this ‘Freedom of Speech’ stuff is bullshit. We don’t have it!”

Me: “Sure we do.”

Idiot: “Everytime I open my mouth, someone attacks me in my comments.”

Me: “Well, they have freedom of speech too, remember?”

Idiot: “It’s not RIGHT!!!!”

Me: “Yeah, that “freedom” stuff is a bitch, ain’t it?”

All About This with Tony DelVecchio

Tony DelVecchio is a man who learned long ago to take life with a sense of humor, and to survive it by living by his wits. He grew up in a tough Italian neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey.

How can you *NOT* love this guy?

Chloe is back (well, sorta. That and the NEPA blog seems to phase in & out of reality. But I saw it last night, with a new post on Watermelon Punch for the first time since Aug. 16th. Really.)

Any clue on the status of Kira or Mr. Larry, anyone?
(I’ve known about Mr. Larry for a while… I just figured he took a break after coming back from South America)

Jon visits Louisiana?
Batgrl dating a blogger?
Batgrl and Jon Sullivan?

Is the world ready for this?

THIS JUST IN: Woman calls in sick from work.

But here’s the kicker. Get this…. She actually *WAS* sick. (???)

No, No, NO Maria!!!!! You NEVER waste your sick days actually being “sick”. Sick days are for when you want to go to a baseball game, or play hooky from work, and don’t want to use up any of your personal days or vacation time.

You know, you do the “sick voice” (*cough* *cough* …like you’re *REALLY* fooling your boss. Come on! They make you do twice as much work tomorrow, no biggie.)

Tomorrow, I will attempt to explain why I can’t seem to hold a job down longer than six months. :0)

There’s no comments on this post, because like the post below, it will be safely tucked away where it belongs. Where no one needs to see it.

Just so there’s no speculation, or rumors, let me just get this out.

My wife was four months pregnant.
She checked into the hospital two days ago to check out the numbness in her fingers. The sonogram didn’t detect a heartbeat.

The constant stress and pressure of our lives proved to be too much, and the baby died. My wife is also believed to be diagnosed with the early stages of multiple sclerosis.

Many of you know, and the outpouring of love from the web community has been overwhelming.

I just wanted you all to know that we’re home from the hospital, and the procedure went well. The Mrs. is fine.

The fetus was too small to determine the sex… so we have named him/her “Angel”. There will be a memorial service here with the family as everyone is devastated.

The web right now… is irrelevant.
My family needs me.

Thank you all, and I love you all very much.

-e & family -

[This post will self-destruct by dawn.
This is a side of me that no one will ever be allowed to see anymore.]

Tomorrow, something upbeat, gossipy, and whimsical…

Just I don’t have the time and I’m exhausted.
I’m fine, guys. Faith can even tell you, when she called to check up on me & the Mrs., that I’m all perky and stuff.

However, there are others in the family that *could* use your prayers and good thoughts… and as always, I’ll be in your debt for it. Details have been sketchy, and that’s only because there are certain things I am no longer allowed to talk about, as you all know…. but most of you pieced the puzzle together. You guys are truly wonderful. Thank you.

Just wanted to share a little tibit of knowledge I’ve learned in the past 24+ hours, and maybe this will help someone down the line:

Sometimes things don’t *have* to have a reason for it to happen.
It just happens.
