Chronic Pain News from NewsTrove
boyfriend leapt to his death
From: NewsTrove.com
"rief, and the
grief of Mary and Ray Zablotny -- sitting in the first row of the boardroom
Thursday -- might push the debate about the suicide barrier from aesthetics
and finances to empty bedrooms and 4 a.m. crying jags and the thick, awful
smell of a living room crowded with too many flower arrangements.
What I found Thursday was a room filled with Patrick Fitzgeralds and Mary
and Ray Zablotnys. The board, seated around a vast, oblong table, listened all
morning to individual stories of suicide. So many people showed up with photos
of their loved ones that some had to wait in the hallway."
Richard Lewis Bio
From: NewsTrove.com
"Lewis has taken his life-long therapy fodder and carved it into a
commanding and compelling art form. His early career as a stand-up
brought him to the top of his ranks and over time he broadened the
scope of opportunities for others to share in his brilliantly warped
world.
This year, along with a steady stream of personal appearances, Lewis
returned as a recurring guest star as one of Larry David’s closest
friends (as is true in real life) in the Seinfeld co-creator’s
HBO series, “Curb Your Enthusiasm."
The Oxymoron
From: NewsTrove.com
"I've never been an advocate for prescription drug dependency. I have never understood it. I always figured that it was for drug addicts, junkies, and morons. It's an easy addiction to hide at first, until you see the glazed look in one's eyes and their rotting complexion. It has always caused me to look down upon it, or ignore it like an invoice from Columbia House.
Then my precious little pug dog Bella came into my life."

The Pet Press ~ Jonathan Slavin
From: NewsTrove.com
"Jonathan Slavin is perhaps best recognized from his role as weird Byron Togler on the two seasons of Fox TV's Andy Richter Controls The Universe. Basically a character actor, Jonathan keeps busy with guest roles on TV shows such as CSI, Karen Sisco, I'm With Her and Friends, along with occasional appearances in film and theater. In essence, he's been very lucky to be a "working actor" because it has enabled him to devote the rest of his time to his true passion: his family of abandoned and "able challenged" animals.
Raised in a small suburb of Wilkes-Barre, PA, Jonathan Slavin was a very shy child who was into books and reading. And animals."
