The dude could play any instrument like a master, hit any note in any octave and changed the way the world listened. He can never be replaced. No one could even come close. Now, I hope, he gets to see his son again. The little boy who died in 1996. They say it will take weeks for the autopsy to be complete so we know how he died. My bet is on embolisim. Anyone else want to weigh in? Flu symptoms were reported twice and I had a bad feeling when they had to reroute his plane, but, then I put it out of my mind, because I have enough problems of my own and it's not like I could have done anything for him anyway. I just loved him, that's all. I want to watch Purple Rain with my granddaughter this week, so she can love him too.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 278 of 278And my crazy drunken shit was hilarious until it wasn't. Remember?
Yeah okay. Another load of people who only remember what they want/need to remember. Never been through this before.
Had it not been for this exchange I would have happily forgotten about you Barb. Happily and easily.
I'll let our exchange end with that single comment. It's more fitting than you'll ever realize.
Sure thing.
You really aren't as clever or witty or profound as you think you are, Dan. You're a failed hack writer and hopeless alcoholic fuck-up. The blogosphere is awash with cretinous idiots like you, so please do us all a favor and hop off that little high-and-mighty pedestal you've hoisted yourself onto and go fuck a rusty man trap, 'kay? You fucking buffoon.
I truly believe that there are some anons playing both sides of the fence on this, posting pro-Pat defenses in some instances and anti-Pat diatribes in others. Because that's how the cesspool of stupidity that is the internet usually works. It's enough to make one abandon all hope in human progress and go become a Kardashian.
I have started a Facebook group for friends of Pat and it is a closed group. You should be able to find it if you do a Facebook search for a group called Pats friends. Obviously haters and trolls will be deleted and blocked. I'll screen people who ask to join.
Well, this has been fun (not). Sorry to see this blog go to shite but, there you go. All good things come to an end. Cheerio.

@ Lia - Would you mind posting that exact same comment about Pat's Facebook fanwank group at least fifteen more times? Because I don't think we got it the first eight times you posted it.
So has Pat been on this blog deleting comments???
Casey, what the fuck is going on with your MOM? Give us the courtesy of knowing what is going on? Do you think you could do that????
Bullshit, Lis is being cared for! She is in a temp home now after coming home to Pat passed out from overdose. Gun at her side, doors open, Lis flipped out and called her Mom. Her mom is trying to win custody back and Lis isn't a little girl anymore. She grew up fast and wreckless, thanks to her druggie Pat. State or Iowa is involved.
Lia, your FB group is going to be a dud.
Wow, this place went to shit, didn't it? Whoever said there are people playing both sides of the fence as anons, I think they are correct. I'm sure there are sane people here somewhere, but with all the other nonsense, who can tell? I'll tell you, I've never trolled this blog, regardless of what Dan said, but I know for fact that he does. Why, I don't really know, but let me say one thing right now. There was NEVER a fan group for you, Dan. We admired your early writing and we invited you to a FB group to get to know you. There was a moment when you seemed very lost and we felt sorry for you. What a mistake that was. We put up with your drunken rants and narcissistic ways for way too long. Then we kicked your ass out. Say what you will, but you know the truth. Get some help, man. Seriously.
Why do comments keep disappearing? Why are authors removing their comments??
Mine was a duplicate. Stupid blogger.
A lot of the "authors" removing their comments are Pat.
When you post as Anonymous, you cannot delete that post yourself, it would have to be deleted by someone with admin privileges.
I wonder how many comments can be posted to a single post before Blogger implodes? We're gettin' up there.
After I posted my comment, I started to think about the possible retaliatory actions people are capable of and how DD and her blog seem to encourage this kind of corrosive and vitriolic behavior. Someone said something to Briezy that I railed against. So, Briezy, I love you you are a wonderful, one of a kind friend, intelligent and funny as hell. We know it and we know the truth. That is all.
That one was a double post. Because: stupid blogger.

I would like to be party to the Facebook group. I am not sure how I am going to get there, as I did Facebook in the past, and quit about 3 years ago. I don't remember my password, etc. It will take a little work, but I don't want to lose track of my friends, and this seems like the time to do it.
I will work on it late tonight, or tomorrow morning, as I have a small dinner party here tonight. As usual, I am running behind.
Thanks for your efforts on all our behalfs, Lia,
Christina
Creative people make a space
Sometimes they allow other people
NON-CREATIVES
to enter that space
Occasionally these non-creatives think they own the space they have been allowed to enter
It's cute
Who's talking about owning this place?
Btw: what's even cuter is you interjection yourself into conversations without providing anything constructive at all. Didn't know that creativity is now used as an excuse for being a one-trick pony with no interesting features whatsoever.
The real issue right now is: Why does DD let all her loyal readers think she's too sick (or impaired) to even comment occasionally when people are genuinely concerned about her well-being? And then appears to be on top of things enough to delete my comments for hours on end?
Finally, don't make me laugh about being allowed to enter the space of the creatives. Good lord. The woman used to beg people for comments. Not too long ago she said "Thanks to all of you, it means so much that you still read and talk to me here, even though my daily blog skills are gone."
So when people dutifully oblige they get rewarded with the silent treatment, an eyeful of the foulest vulgarities imaginable and a lecture by a third rate coat-tail-rider? Get a grip.
Okay Katy.
Shut up now Cubs are on.
Casey J,
Seriously. You come here to read if your mother has updated. Is this the only way you keep in touch with her? If so, disregard the rest of this message. If you do talk to her other than through this blog, why don't you ask her to write a freaking comment to let people know she is done and close this shit up. Or at least tell you what to write and then you close this shit up. Or is Pat using your login to post...
Frimmy, what is the truth? You seem to be (with Angie) the only ones in the know. Can you enlighten us, please?!?
Has no one ever visited Pat in all these years? I thought some of her readers actually knew her/came from the same area?
Making up outlandish stories and trying to pass them off as true isn't being creative, Dan. That's called lying.
I'd take your request seriously if you posted a name. Forgive me, but getting burned by anons is a thing of the past for me. If you really want to know,find a way to contact one of us directly.
Why are people demanding Pat's daughter answer questions about her? She has her own life and is probably still upset over the last dust up when Pat pretended to be her. Pat is getting desperate. She's a good person at heart but thrives on trolling herself to get people to be her puppets. Plus her lies.
The person posting about her granddaughter should stop. Pat, stop. People still like you even though you lie and troll yourself and people here. These women love lying liars who lie. Like attracts like.
I've read here on and off for a few years but this is a soap opera where the puppet master has tangled all the strings up. Cut yours and get away. Peace out.
Kim
I'm an Anon and my real life name is Minnie HaHa. There. Now what? I'm still an Anon. I used to like Pat. I don't anymore.
lol. Yeah. Blogger names are more important than credit checks around these parts. So from now on my name's Ho-Ho-Kus.
@Anon 9:26: Re Pat, Pat's blog, Pat's life, I don't know anything. This is the internet and anyone can be anything they want even if they post under a name other than anon. I'm no further in the know than anyone else here but I don't care if she explains herself or not. She isn't obligated to explain anything to us and I wouldn't care if she did it is irrelevant now. Has it not been established that she writes fiction and trolls herself? How would creating and posting an answer because someone demands it change anything? I figure Pat can't garden anymore so this is her new hobby. Planting and nurturing discord and chaos. Whether I like it or don't is inconsequential. I'm free to leave and never come back. Everyone here is here by choice. We're not getting an answer because it's more important/satisfying to deny us and like I said, who would believe it at this point? This is Pat's skipping rope and she makes the rules. If we don't like it, we don't have to play.
Agreed, Frimmy. But disagree on 'Now'. It's always been her MO.
I posted about 45 min ago and verified that it was there. Now it's gone. Are we maxed out, or did someone just remove it?
Christina
And by 'now' I meant 'new'.
We reached higher numbers back when Tia was still fucking China regularly. So I wouldn't worry, Christina.
Thanks, Frimmy. I am Anon 9:26. I wasn't *demanding* an answer or explanation. Just expressing puzzlement over the way this all went down and I suppose I was looking for some logical explanation. It is now clear that we have all been duped; it just took some of us longer than others to realize this. Christina, I am posting without a problem so not sure if it is a blogger issue or a blog owner issue. Good luck.
And you are right, Katy -- Casey shouldn't be dragged in to this. However, she does come back and post, opening the door to questions.
I think Christian may not realize that there are two pages to this post now...
Christina @12:04. I'm sure your post got deleted by Pat because what you had to say was something positive. Pat is only interested in discord right now. Your support would only ruin her fun right now. I'm sure that sometime down the road you will understand.
Let's all stop commenting and let this disgusting blog die.
Can't take credit for that, Anon 12:15. I never said anything about the daughter.
Yes, Katy -- it was Kim...I did not take the time to double check. I knew it was a K name.
Anon 9:26
I new my parents' decision to give me a K-name would come ack to bite me. Like I said, I'll be using Ho-Ho-Kus in the future.
Also, I'm not usually this spelling-impaired. It happens when I use phone or ipad. My bad.
Katy or Anon 12:15, if you're interested: chocolateordeath@gmx.com
All right Katy's not Beth. I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I made the fatal mistake of thinking Katy was someone I should perhaps actually care about.
Well it is an easy mistake to make, Dan. In fact, the self same error is routinely made by anyone who has the extreme misfortune of being in your company for any length of time. You know, until they wise up and recognize what a worthless, narcissistic pile of shit you actually are.
Now how about you go ooze back into whatever anal cavity shat you onto the earth and stay there. You will not be missed.
The fun part is when Katy uses personal information about me that was put on here by people I actually know and care/cared about to put me down and make me feel shitty. You go Katy!
I know full-well that Katy has been trying for YEARS to get my attention. Well you win Katy. You got my attention. Wow. Your quest is complete.
I could take a shot at you now, using some piece of personal information, but that's right, I don't have any such information to use against you, because who/what are you?
Katy, if you are the same Katy that came to my defense awhile back when Pat laid into me, I'd REALLY love to know who you are, but at the very least compliment your insane knack for hitting the nail on the head.
Aw... did poor Crabbiekins get his little feelings hurt by big, bad Katy? My heart bleeds.
By all means take your shot now, Dan. It's about the only thing you've ever been good for on this blog. Or anywhere else for that matter.
So did anybody watch the Kentucky Derby?
Fuck off, Border Collie. The grown ups are talking now.
It's been quite a few hours and Tia hasn't been blamed for anything yet. She tried to warn everyone about Pat's easily unraveled lies a few years ago, that Pat was the troll and explained why. She was vilified and is now to blame for everything wrong here. Seems she was right. Too bad she took down her info on Pat with links and screen caps of Pat's emails to her. Reading her blog, she's moved on and has been for a few years. I sent her an email about this mess and I hope she replies but doubt it. I'd like to see that information again. It was damning and people still believed Pat for a few more years.
Cynthia
I agree with everything you said Anon@9:59.
Hey, Border,
How are you?
I had not watched, but pulled up the race and watched just now, out of curiosity. That was a pretty exciting race. Nyquist was not in the lead for most of the race. Pretty amazing stuff.
Christina
I agree Cynthia, Tia is not the troll here anymore and hasn't been for years. I think accusing Tia of trolling here distracts from the real culprits and works in the trolls' favour.
None of the last two katy posts were made by me.
@Angie: I don't recall doing that, tbh. I usually only post here when it's really time to speak up and support somebody. So, hopefully it was me as I don't think my moniker had been used except by me until today.
I'm still the same katy who posted at Atheist Granny once.
Here
Wait, that second to last post marked katy (at 3:50:00 AM) WAS mine. It's the one after that one that's not me. Apologies for the confusion. All this anon/troll crap is confusing.
See, I would have just bolded the 'was'. But you go have fun with that.
^^^ This is not me either. The troll seems to think it's being clever. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually Pat posting as me. Seems like something she would do.
Actually Katy 1:09 is dismissive and focused on the minutia of your writing and "seems to think it's being clever". I'm calling Dan on that one and, congrats to you lucky girl, you finally got his attention so brace yourself for absolutely nothing.
Guacamole.
Christina, do sign up on Facebook, Pats Friends is the page, managed by Lia. It is not open to everybody, and we can talk about your chickens. I miss those chickens, and the horrible ex's junk, and the rain….just everything.
I will make every effort, though I am not very talented at computer-related stuff and it will take a little work to make that happen. I miss you and Mikie, too!
Christina
I've searched and searched but I can't seem to find that page on fb. :( Could you maybe post a link to it on here Border?
Christina
Not me,obviously.
Christina
^^^Troll is up to their old tricks again.
Christina.
I know you are, so what am I?
Seriously. How bored must a troll be to have to take on my identity? Things must be pretty lame in trouble-making land. I will try to do the FB thing at some point today, Border. I am no good at it, but will try to have my son help me out. That's my best chance for success.
Christina
Okay. Now I'm on FB, and I couldn't find the group. I know that Lia started it, so I have sent you a friend request, and a message, Lia. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Christina
I thought this was supposed to be about Prince's passing?
