Wrong Words

Today's newspaper read that there are 12 survivors of the mining blast in Virginia. WRONG..TOTALLY WRONG. Only one survivor. This is what happens when some idiot doesn't get their facts right or they just assume. Anyway it was very horrible for those families to believe that their love ones were still alive. I can't imagine their pain. Three hours after the "good" news they were told the truth.
When I was a child I was told once that a family member was dying and only had a few minutes to live. So I was already mourning this person when 2 hours later I was told that he only had a broken leg and he wasn't dying. I was so mad and relieved at the same time. I wanted to hurt someone. I was pissed. The person who gave this news was put to shame!!
Then in high school a close friend of mine told me she had leukemia and a few months to live. I was devastated right then and there and started crying. After I got my composure, she told me she was lying and just wanted to see my reaction. She told me she felt bad but I didn't so I slapped and scratched her and called her every name in the book. That changed the friendship for me. It was over. You don't screw around with people's emotions. I do believe in karma and usually paybacks are hell!!!
