ihavealife: I am sorry for your loss. I agree with you 100%. Except the drunk driver who hit my sister didn't kill her. In July, it will be 21 years she has lived in a nursing home, in a persistent vegetative state (like Terry Schiavo). She was in her late 20's when it happened, and she'll be almost 50 in a few weeks. My parents have visited her almost every day for that 21 years.

I, too, have seen the crime scene photos. No one should EVER have to see a loved one's blood spattered everywhere. It is beyond horrifying.

I'm just another heartbroken relative of a close family member who was a victim of drunk driver, and am just hoping I can prevent at least one person and their family having to go this by telling this story.

On Schools prep for swine flu

keithrg13: "In 1976, while I was still in the Army, we were marched to the clinic to have a vaccination for that Swine Flu under threat of court marshal. My Army roommate almost died from the shot. More people died from the shot than from the flu."

I was in the Army at the same time and remember all too well being forced to have that swine flu shot. Not many of us got ill from it, but a few were sick from the shot for a few days. Still, looking back on it, it sure seemed like a big waste of time and money for a flu that turned out to be nothing worse than the regular flu.

An epidemic only makes your skin sick.

A pandemic makes your cookware sick.

On Delayed posts boost value of print edition

I hope that there will still be some free access to the Gazette online in the future.
I live out of the country now, but I have many relatives still left in Janesville. Subscribing to the print edition is out of the question, because I probably wouldn't receive the paper for at least a week after it's mailed out, and I think the postage would be rather expensive.

Thank you for providing the service of the GazetteXtra that I now am able to receive.

On Just skating by: Group needs help to keep Traxler tradition alive and well

It is wonderful to see that Traxler Park is still a great place to ice skate.

I was never really good at ice skating, but would go to socialize with my fiends in the '60's and early '70's. Such great memories.

Thanks to the Keena's for keeping it going.

On UW-Madison settles 'W' lawsuit with Kansas school

I have seen the identical "Motion W" on a high school kid's cap in Ohio as well. It was red as well, and the first time I saw it, I said, "It sure is good to see another Badger fan around here." I was quickly corrected and never made that mistake again.

Perhaps I should tell the U of Wis people about this and have that high school sued as well!

On Trial in baseball bat murder begins

Thanks, Mikki, for saying that.

Perhaps I can make it a little simpler for those I "offended":

I was referring only to the bad wording of the headline that the Gazette printed, nothing more.

You don't know how much stuff I see in these blogs that could offend me, but I've learned to take it in stride.
