This poor girl had a sad life. However she died it's too bad she died alone. No one found her for a week! I know plenty of people who would have been glad to be with her including me. She says at the end of her book "Papa, Mama, I'm…

The concrete wall is only TEN CENTIMETERS THICK. Man, what are people thinking, leaving valuables behind a puny wall like that? You could bust that with a sledgehammer. Someone could start a group called the "daihammaasetsudan".

I tell people "I don't know" when they ask my blood type. The reaction is always "Hayyyyyyy???" I think that's funny. But I do know and have a card in my wallet in case of emergency.

I don't think I would want to tell anyone's parents that they are missing. Tell the police and let them mishandle it.

I've had no bad experiences with cops here. Actually, they have been quite nice. But I can see this undercurrent of "dumbness" in their thinking. If they don't want to deal with something, or they think a certain way, they will do ANYTHING and go to any lengths to defend…
