Just got back from the service here in CA. Had the chance to meet some of family and his coworkers. He was the 7th of 8 kids. He was giving up a kidney for a friend of his. His coworkers said they have no idea how they're ever going to replace him. A couple of his coworkers flew in from Japan on their own dime to pay their respects. He was wearing a shirt and tie and his riding gloves. His mother was a religious person and told us to go to church more often His family donated his organs, so his bones will provide bone grafts for 150 people, his heart will help a heart attack victim, his veins will help 6 people.
I was worried about explaining the relationship we had. I told her that we've been talking to him every day for the past 10 years but that most of us hadn't met him in person. His mom got it right away, she totally understood. I'm not donating to a forum's branding effort. None of them were at the service today anyways, just the three of us from what we saw.

I'll put my money towards the family wishes. Not so some random kid who's never heard of bill can play on a track and then likely take their new skills and guts to the street.

We only vote on meaningless stuff here. It's to feint a democracy, when in reality it's a authoritarian rule. You were appointed, sucker.
