"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was public knowledge, my apologies  :wink:



They got bought by Venice Hospital.  VH turned them in to a sort of medical/outpatient program.  One of those drug dependency type programs that most insurance will only cover for 30 days at the most?



It ran like that for I think 4-6 months, maybe a bit more, then VH realized they could just do it better if they kept it at their own facility on the Island, and shut it down.



If I remember right, the reason they bought LIFE to do it was so that they could use the name(in Venice, at that time, you'd find that LIFE was actually a pretty popular place) and I think they even kept a few of the executive staff on..



I don't know all the minute details or the maneuverings behind the scenes and such, but that's why LIFE as we knew it shut down, and then eventually why the building became a consignment shop  :wink:"


It would be interesting to know what actually went on behind the scenes. This is the only thing I could find on the web about Venice Hospital and LIFE -- an ad agency patting themselves on the back for bringing 10 kids into the place.

Ok... I'm gonna give the spoiler right up front - so you devotees can look away and feign ignorance.... LIFE WAS DEFUNCT IN 1993

So how do we have this commercial devotee, in 2005 still hawking a program that doesn't exist!?

Why do you begin your sentence with the word "NO"?


I have read your comments on the other "blog" and I have to say that you speak like Bush or Hitler or The Chinese Government.


The Chinese always like to say things like "Taiwan blah blah blah,AND THIS reflects the will of ALL Chinese citizens,blah blah blah".


Thats what your crap comments sound like.


YOU are a 7stepping piece of scum and you need to STOP speaking for "us" and speak for yourself.


Go fuck yourself Antigen!"




I read "the other NATIONALLY KNOWN blog" and Antigen,3 TIMES, provided a direct link to http://www.thestraights.com and praised it as a great place to find facts about Straightlike programs,WITHOUT ONCE mentioning http://www.fornits.com,a more reliable source of info.

Why Antigen is hawking Wes Fager's MISLEADING website to the public as a good place for info!

Anybody who knows nothing about Straight,and looks at Fager's site for insight,will think we are ALL crackpots.

Fuck you again Antigen!"


Well.

Im waiting for you to explain yourself.

Actually, after looking at the web site a little closer, this was an award from Promotional Products Association International (PPAI), given to Venice Hospital at the 35th Annual Golden Pyramid Awards. The 48th Annual awards were held this year.

It was on a page of "case sudies" that lists a couple of hundred awards from old trade shows. http://www.ppa.org/ProductsResources/CaseStudies/

*shrug*

I went in to the Army and I was in LIFE.  Military was harder, doesn't mean LIFE was some sort of picnic..

Marijuana clearly has medicinal value.
 Thousands of seriously ill Americans have
 been able to determine that for themselves,
 albeit illegally. Like my own family, these
 individuals did not wish to break the law but
 they had no choice.
 

--Lyn Nofziger, former deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee

Whoa is me, I've gone far down." Fact was the asshole kid had never even really bottomed out before,so he wouldn't know. If he really had bottomed and been there and back he's be begging for some shit to stick in his arm because he really was a real pussy. :wstupid:  :smokin: y.

I was wrong, and I owned it.  And I don't consider facing facts and the truth a "chip on one's shoulder". If you do, that's your problem.

  Good for you owning up to it.  I want to give you positive credit.  That's really applying the first rule (honesty) and applying your program.  (And you thought nothing stuck with you from the program) LOL
