Question

Today I got told that my necklace is really cool.

By someone with dreadlocks dyed three shades of blue.

Is that a good thing?

1. There is an element of cool in a dreadlocked person giving a compliment I reckon. I like how they don’t give a damn about their hair and the ‘norm’ so yeh, I think it’s a good thing! by Miss Smack March 14, 2008 at 11:17 pm
   
2. Depends… was he/she stylish in their dreadlock-y-ness? Or was it more a case of the stinky-unwashed kind of dreadlock wearer?

   Coz this would definitely have a level of impact, I think…

8. I don’t suppose it was a hemp necklace was it? Then I’d be worried, if not then you are probably safe to happily accept the compliment by Kezza March 17, 2008 at 2:20 pm
   
9. I suppose that depends upon whether or not you believe that your necklace is really cool. by Sometimes Saintly Nick March 20, 2008 at 12:27 pm

Buh-Bye

True inspiration

I bawled.

Blessed

The GalPal is in hospital. She's been in for a week or so. Its quite serious but so far she's been ok.

I went in to visit her today and as I wandered in there was someone already waiting to be buzzed in. GalPal is in intensive care neuro ward. I got talking to the girl at the door for a few minutes and we got buzzed in.

As I was leaving later on, the same girl was behind me walking out. I started a conversation with her as she waited for the elevator. I asked who she was visiting and she said her grandma. But the way she it, well, it made the alarm bells go off that she wasn't ok. I asked how she was and the girl said her grandma had passed away about 15 minutes ago.

So I gave her a hug. It was an automatic reflex. This complete stranger. I don't even know her name. But we hugged like we'd known each other for years.

As we parted I said it was nice that she was there. She told me that all the family was there and I said that was even better.

Wherever this girl is tonight, my heart goes out to her. I am blessed to have all the family members and friends still here that were here this morning, that were here yesterday and the day before.

And I hope that she and her family are coping as best they can.
