Living Will

Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive.  That would be no quality of life at all,  If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
 
So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.
 
She's such a bitch.

Am I Missing Something?

I just saw on the news where a broadcaster made a remark about Tiger Woods, meant to be a bit of a joke and it was taken the wrong way  and now the debate is whether to fire the broadcaster (a female sports anchor) for making the remark.

She suggested the lynching of Tiger Woods (I believe to give other golfers a chance). She's been accused of making a racist remark.  I always thought lynching was about hanging or killing someone (anyone) before a jury found them guilty. When did it become a racial thing?

A Huge 'Thank You' to Everyone!

I am about to pick up my dad from the hospital and bring him home.  I'm convinced it's everyone's good wishes and thoughts that helped him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're all awesome!

2008 is off to a bad start

Just as I was about to leave to take my 82 yr. old father to the ER, we got a phone call from my aunt in MD.  My father's cousin and his wife were found shot to death in their home in Dover, Delaware.  I found this news article: http://www.nbc10.com/news/14966461/detail.html.

I had to leave my Pop at the ER to take care of another matter, so now I'm off to sit with him and see if the Drs. want to keep him there.  He has a lot of health issues and just wasn't feeling right and was worried he might be heading toward a heart attack.  The bad news didn't help, talk about bad timing.


Here's a photo of my father.

Just In Case...

I accumulated over 40 friend requests, mostly from people I've never heard of or from.  I picked out the few I wanted to keep (and I think I had added them manually) and denied the rest.

If you sent a request and and we exchange comments, I sincerely apologize if I denied it, and please let me know!  I worry that I may have denied some that I shouldn't have.

I'm amazed at how many requests we all get from so many who never as much as say "hi". 

I hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start and that it gets better and better as you go along!
