i'm in NE, but not near Omaha. It happened
at the Westroads mall. North and a little west of Bellevue, north of the 680-80 junction. The shooter was one of the 9 dead. 5 injured as well, 2 critically from what they are saying.
Donations for victims of Omaha mall shootings
Hi all you fellow MTs,
I live in the Omaha area where the recent mall shootings took place. It has been a devastating incident, as you might imagine. One of my friends went to the mall that day and instead of going to Von Maur first as she normally would, she decided to start her shopping at a different store. She would have been right in the area of the shooting.
Most of those killed or wounded were Von Maur employees. I work in a trauma center and we still have one of the victims there.
If anyone would like to make a donation to the victims' fund, the best way would be to go to the wowt.com web site and click on "how to help" on the left-hand side of the home page.
Thanks to all. Keep the families in your prayers, please.

VA tech shooting
OMG who absolutely awful. God help those poor families in their grief. So far 22 dead and 21 wounded as well as the gunman. What on earth possesses people to do atrocities like this? I just cannot fathom the effect this will have on the families. And to think I have a son going away to college in the fall...... 
my son is shooting his first commercial!
We are thrilled!
Like shooting an unarmed man
Listen, darlin', I guess we can see why you didn't go into law. You try to argue that stupider is British English and then use the fact that Hemingway used it to prove your point. Just a little clue, Hemingway is an AMERICAN author. As to one of your other non-scoring points, my ancestry is also European, British as a matter of fact. Despite that, I go to the bathroom, not the loo, put gas in my car nor petrol, and put groceries in the trunk and not the boot, point being that ancestry doesn't have a lot to do with what we speak. Go back and read your own previous post; it points out that stupider is a slang word, as opposed to proper English. If you need me to explain slang, just let me know.
Go play with Google some more and then get back to me.
No kidding. Shooting them is so barbaric.
How cruel and heartless. I'm sure animal control could have been very helpful.
shooting crack in the livingroom
I responded to this post and thought about it again this afternoon and it's really kind of funny how seriously we, me included, take some of these things. It is important, but not so serious, just so typical. It's not like she was shooting crack in the livingroom, or huffing/snuffing/snorting whatever is done with it. As far as I can tell we have not heard back from the original and I wonder what finally happened.
Shooting the balloons like darts...pfow!

I could not put this under comedy, even though it is. There are some 4-letter words in these clips, nothing terrible.

CNN says she's dead - died at the hospital....
found unconscious in a hotel room. So sad that she had such a wasted life.
Maybe we should not beat a dead hourse (sm)
Hopefully we can all agree that what works in one marriage may not in another?
Mine actually is dead (at least he's supposed to be).
He remarried several times. The last one was the same age as our son. He stole government checks from his mother's senior building and tried to pin it on my son by using his address (their names are the same). They did confuse my son with him and he almost got arrested. That was after he supposedly died. Funny, nobody in his family gave him a decent burial. Not one of them claimed the body. I know how his Mommy felt about him, so that was really suspicious. My son said he'd seen him getting on the homeless people van right before that. I will always wonder if he's really dead or if he's a murderer besides a lazy thief and wife-beating creep.
Dead skin floating around.
I thought about that last night as I was sitting at a restaurant. The light was shining through the window just right and I could see all sorts of dust particles in the air. To think that is settling on my food. Kinda gross.

I am so depressed about them finding James Kim dead. I am having a really sm
hard time grasping this that I can't imagine what his poor wife and family must be going through. I can't even move and want to read everything about them finding him, etc. if he only stayed in the car with them - He left Saturday morning to look for help and the found his wife and girls on Monday. And he was found dead today miles from where the car was found.
I guess I could thank God that his wife and 2 children are still alive. I am happy they are alive, but it just makes me unbelievably sad what he must have gone through. He had such a great will to live and yet he died out there.
I don't know if anyone out there reading this who lives in Oregon, but I certainly have zero desire to EVER venture out into the Oregon wilderness, now more so than ever. I've heard horror stories about one-lane, winding, extremely hazardous roads and I don't understand why the state won't fix that? This isn't the first family to go through something like this because a lot of maps are contradicting.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who wants to travel the Oregon mountains, especially in the wintertime - DON'T DO IT.
How tragic and sad.
he''s in charge is what it means since Anna is dead.....

Love your answer, dead on the money
All your suggestions good ones. I know from experience, and have posted this before, one day you will look around and wonder where in the world did the years go. You are in your 50s or 60s and you are losing so much. Time is very precious- it cannot be retrieved once gone. We only have this time to make bad or good choices, life just runs by you so fast and then you find yourself a senior citizen.

long distance relationship - dead end?
I've been in a long distance relationship for over a year now. About 1000 miles apart....we see each other once a month and it's great for the most part. We miss each other a lot, talk everyday, and almost never fight. We get along great and truly prioritize and look forward to our meetings.
Our only problem is....the long distance thing has no end in site. Neither of us are planning (or willing) to relocate to the other's location just yet. He feels that I should 'come home' back to where our friends and family are, where we both grew up.....I feel he should get out and experience new things while we are young.
I still want to see new places, maybe move again, experience something new again, and am simply not ready (if ever) to move back. So what should I do? Bite the bullet and move back? Does this mean we have reached an impasse that will not work? Sometimes I worry that we are on a dead end road, but I could not imagine splitting because we have such a great relationship.
Got tired of dead wife pimping
Although I don't blame Danny for that. AI does everything it can to add to the drama and a tear-jerker backstory like Danny's just adds to the pathos and drama. I don't see AI as a true singing competition. It's all about ratings, drama, and going over the top. Getting kind of old for me.
it's a good start....at least they cannot reproduce if they're dead

Billy Mays, doing ads for soap, just found dead
At age 50, my goodness. This week has without a doubt been one for the books. They said Billy Mays on flight that landed yesterday and as it did blew out tire in front. He was hit on head but stated he was alright. They found him dead this morning around 7 something.

speaking of stinky dogs, mine rolled in something dead
Why do they do that!!!?? Is roadkill scent to a dog the same as Tresor is to me?
I mean I was walking him and all of the sudden, he hit the ground. No warning. It was dark and I don't even know what it was.
I barely have time to walk him, forget washing him...
This is to console you. An old stinky dog is better than a semi-old dog with dead scent...
I've been running around all day - heard a bit on the radio, but 9 DEAD? Oh goodness. Lord,
help those families right now, God. And that entire city. I used to live there. Can't recall that mall, though. I used to go to 2. If anyone is in that area, I used to live in Bellevue (the Air Force Base there). Where was this mall in Omaha? thanks for any info.
