The first thing I always like to do when trying to understand or figure something out is to go to my friends for advice. And since I have been on dailykos for close to 5 years now (WOW!) I consider so many of you good friends (new and old), so I am seeking your advice now.

I found out something terrible this past weekend. It was my birthday on Friday, and I had a small get together with some friends. One of those friends was my youngest brother (I have two younger brothers actually) who I have always been close to; my other brother however, I have never had much of a bond with, but I think I am going to try and change that....

I know this is small potatoes, but I think it's a step in the right direction.
Today, the city commission in Kalamazoo, MI passes an ordinance that:

It will prohibit discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people when it comes to hiring, housing and other accommodations. The ordinance goes into effect in July.

I'm sorry it took me so long to post a follow-up diary to my diary about my Grandfather. The response was just so overwhelming to my diary, plus I had the hindrance of having my internet access cut off for over a week just after I posted my original diary that I didn't even get all your kind and thoughtful messages to my Grandfather sorted, printed, and mailed until early last week.

It's with great sadness that I write this diary....
You see, my last living Grandparent is dying of cancer. He's 93 and he lives in North Carolina (used to live here in Michigan where I am), and I haven't seen him since he moved out of state to escape Michigan's terrible winters.

I posted an update diary about two weeks ago when I saw on my local news that the cop who had shot the college student was being charged with:

careless discharge of a firearm causing injury or death

Well, I have another update after the jump...

I was so surprised to see this diary on the recommended list over a week ago because I live in the general area of where the shooting occurred and I had no idea it would be of such great interest...had I known, I would of posted a diary when I saw about what had happened on my local TV news the very day of the shooting, but I digress...

Anyway, I have an update about it, so follow me below for more....

I should of written about this when it happen just over two months ago, but I always assume someone else on this site who writes WAY better than me will beat me to the punch, so I just leave it to my more gifted Kossacks to report, but after doing a search today (I am the worst at searching, so if I missed a diary about this, then I apologize) I didn't turn up anything.

Some of you already know about my situation....I have been unemployed for a few years now, I have some health problems that I have to live with because I don't have any health insurance, I am stuck in a bad marriage (can't afford a lawyer, and legal-aid won't help me because I don't have any kids, and I haven't been beaten-up recently by my husband with a filed police report), and I am having trouble keeping up with my mortgage (and I cannot sell the house because it's not worth what's owed on it) and every other bill you can think of....but, all this can change if I can just get a job.

I just wanted to post a quick diary thanking everyone who came out last night to our Grand Rapids meetup; I'm afraid my camera's battery was dead and PerfectStormer left his camera in his car, so you won't be treated to pictures of smiling kossacks faces beaming at you, but I assure you, we all had a good time last night!

Are you dying to meet some of your fellow kossacks to put a face with the user name?
Well, if you are, then haul yourself into Grand Rapids for some food, drinks, and good company.
