Missing Co-Host: Day 2

What does a Radio Show Co-Host do when her co-host is stuck in the South after a weekend family event for her engagement?

Um, I dunno. Doing our radio show is so time consuming that very little time is even left for the business of getting stations and selling ads. So my office is a PILE.

Soooo, I brought the vacuum cleaner into the office yesterday. Nope, we do not have someone cleaning our office. And its been far too long since its been vacuumed. I think the carpet is BLUE not BROWN! And I thought it really did match the Cheetah Chaise!!! (boy was I wrong).

I threw out two hefty bags of old paper. And those stacks of books "Divine Divorce" and "Magnificent Menopause" are about to go also. I only hold onto the "How to Trap Him into Doing What You Want, WHEN You Want It" books....you know, the USEFUL ones...

What else do I do? Sit around and track every moment of the Virginia Tech massacre since my brother-in-law went there some years ago, half my high school did also, and I live north of there up against those Blue Ridge Mountains.

I've been taken aback by all the reports in the past months about men killing, burning, dismembering wives and girlfriends.

Then this Virginia Tech killer has to go add a few (30!) other people to his list?

What possibly in their past could make them so freakin crazy????????

When we're despondent over loosing a guy? Us women go get boob jobs. (ok, after a little tiny bit of stalking...) Men maim, kill, burn and dismember? What went wrong here??? I continually ask my husband if he is embarrassed by his species. (I call men a "species" when I'm upset and don't understand them).

I don't get it. I want to get it. I don't know why, but I want to. I wanna sit down with an entire room of FBI profilers and really understand why people feel the need to do this.

I guess I think it will make me feel better. But intellectually, I know it won't. Having my co-host back? THAT will make me feel better!

Cheers!

I know how you feel.

We will never really know what the reasons are that people, yes it does include women as well, go on a rampage. How one can be desensitized so much that they didn't stop with one, or 10 or 20. The answers are simply not there. We will always wonder believing that if we understand it, we will then, somehow able to prevent it. Maybe we know that he was bullied, maybe we know that he was abused, maybe we know he had no friends. But in the end, what we don't know is why so many people can deal with and grow from such circumstances, and a few choose to snuff out life, others and their own because of such circumstances. What went wrong in those individuals heads? That we will never ever know. My heart goes out to families and friends of victims. I hope somehow they can find peace.

hello wanna talk to someone
