Mr Laurie In The News...

[Stickler]

Not in a good way...

Apparently 3 kids kept him breathing until the ambulance arrived...

Not in a bad way either.
He's alive and able to thank those who helped him.
I would say that's a good thing.

Glad they stopped and stayed with him. Feel better Mr L.

I'm glad they found him and got help.

I sincerely hope that no one post an article that includes my full name for whatever reason. Anonymity allows a slight kindness of an veil, in which a few may feel somewhat protected.

If the motive was truly to gather empathy for the gentleman, perhaps airing his laundry was not necessarily the most polished way. As well it is not even an paper in our USA country, so it begs many a thought of international cross-cultural respect by (let's be frank Stickler)...Americans.
So as opinions are often allowed...let me offer mine a tad further-
I am sorry, Mr. Laurie for what may appear as gossiping or sensationalism.

However, I am sure it was meant in some kindness :notworthy: as the thread still continues. May you become healthier and feel cared about with each post.:hug:

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking about him this weekend.

Poor guy, so grateful to know he is ok. And how awesome the kids helped and stayed with him until help arrived... If you talk to him @Stickler, tell him he is in my prayers...Thanks for letting us know.

I'm glad he's okay. I do agree with @Recovery4Me taht positing a link to his real name is a huge violation of his trust in us. I hope my name never gets posted!

Just want to throw out there that Mr Laurie several times posted his actual name and at least one time his mobile number.

Did he request that you post this @Stickler?
If he did then it kind of makes a mockery of the temporary ban system, getting people to post on your behalf instead.
If he didn't then sharing identifying information about another member, whether they have chosen to do so themselves in the past or not, is out of order in my opinion.

@Stickler how did you discover that newspaper article? - I'm just glad those kids did act as awesome as they did! And so relieved, that despite the seizure, you received such great help, and are well more or less, dear Laurie! :hug:

I'm just glad Laurie's alive and in care.
