Sad that so many thought it cool to poison themselves with alcohol back then.<br /><br />Kittie:<br />So many talents lie forgotten along the shoulders of life's twisted path. Thanks for the kind words about my writing.<br /><br />Denise:<br />Dylan Thomas, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Poe, and so many others. You are right. Too many kill themselves with their excesses. Sigh.

Will anyone know these names 50 years from now? Will people stumble across the books then that everyone talks about now and say "What the crap?"Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-80848674547022469922012-06-27T13:31:36.980-05:002012-06-27T13:31:36.980-05:00PT:

It is a pity no one can write about the experience of dying. That would probably solve a lot of conflicts between religions if anyone could definitively say what happens.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-27646286092047415902012-06-27T12:15:28.937-05:002012-06-27T12:15:28.937-05:00Alex:
