Woops, that above was me...

Any Irishman who doubts the reality of selective enforcement ought to take just a moment to comtemplate the etymology of the term "paddy waggon".

"I am glad to hear from you. It has been along time.It still feels like yesterday in my mind sometimes though. Very emotional period of my life. I should say rollercoaster at times. I left Florida 6 mths. out of L.I.F.E.. I moved to N.Y. and never looked back. I just celebrated my ten year wedding anniversary. I don't know if you read my reply to your post about John but till this day I still think of the last time I saw him and wished that I stopped him.. Within 6 months of that day he was dead. I feel guilty that I didn't try harder to get him to come back. He was great. So funny. I remember when he got nervous his face turned so red. Talk about wearing your feelings on your sleeve. It was because of him I left and started my life over. Staff used to say,"You can't change your problems geographically." I am proof that is not always the case.I'm glad all is well with you. "


I wanted to add my .02 also.  I remember John, I wasn't real close with him, but we went to school together at Venice High and I was fairly good friends with Dave who was fairly good friends with John, so we talked to each other now and again.

I heard about how he died, this was after I had already 7th stepped and moved on to College.  I don't think you can blame yourself, I also don't think there is anyone to blame.  Just remember the good things about him and when you think of him think of what there was to like, like the red-faced thing  :smile:

I don't think I'm programmed either way..

I had a serious problem, and LIFE helped me fix it.  Could there have been better ways?  Yep..  But, that was the way my parents chose so that's what I did.

Now, I don't think about it much, I actually found this place because I was looking for a picture of the 7th step charm that they used to give out when you 7th stepped(well, they didn't give em out, your parents bought em).

I was in LIFE.

I remember some of those staff names also, and for some reason the name Monet struck me as familiar.  Was she the bigger girl with the short blond hair?

My name's Mike Santangelo.

I was in LIFE in that timeframe, I actually don't remember the actual dates.  I know I graduated High School in '91, and got out of the program not too long before then, so I was definitely there in '91.

Lessee, names I remember...

Staff..  I remember Preston, Nick, and Greg, though I think all 3 of them were gone by the time I got out, they were there when I first went in.

Dave Yarborough I remember, one of the Charleston crew down there.  

Mike Schwab, he stayed with me through both of our 5th and 6th phases, but he was from like, Brandon  I believe.

I remember J.W. McCoullough(sp?).  Someone mentioned Johnathon, the guy with Turets, I remember him.  I remember Jessica and Amber, we came to be fairly good friends after we all 7th stepped.

I keep in touch with an old friend of mine from school Reid, and he's good friends with John(I can't for the life of me remember his last name), apparently he's doing well, as is his sister.

I'm not gonna get in arguments about LIFE, I remember hating it there, hating being there, but I certainly appreciate what they did.  I was quickly heading towards the grave and they stopped that.  Their methods weren't great, but I'm now a healthy, happy, confident person.

History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unkonwn without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
