This situation is so lose-lose that things will never be the same. This case will be looked at down the road from vicious realist lawyers and a nightmare will unfold on this nation. Terri is not "braindead." She is not on "life support." She needs to be started treated as a human being, or else things are going to evolve and people are going to criticize what really who decides to live or be taken of life from handicaped conditions.
I won't duplicate what has been said (it is all relevant to how I feel!), but some people are speaking out with misconceptions. People are saying that the Shindlers don't want her to OD on morphine, and would rather her die on lack of thirst. That is just so incorrect. The father was expressing how exhausted he was, and if he had to give up on Terri from lack of legal options, he stated he would rather her be killed by lethal injection. And she barely has had any morphine!
The only thing I wish is to stop her from suffering, whether it be life or death. I wish someone would step in, but if the future holds her death I would rather her die at this very second. She is fighting to live, moaning and crying in discomfort, trying in her limited way to reach out to express that she WANTS TO LIVE.
Fuu
Sickeningly, it sounds like trying to read the aiming circle up at Fort Drum on my last AT.
Only the mosquitoes there were your average tiny NY variety and teh water wasn't icewater.
Sounds like fun, in the euphemistic sense of the word.
Aiming circle they're using is a modified gyro laser thingy that is a mutated version of some of the newest surveyor's gear.
Thing has an attitude worse thanany rock diva's.
I was very glad that I wasn't the guy who had to sit like a stone pillar next to the thing while the squadrons of mosquitoes made attack runs.
Honestly, I'm getting the crazy idea to head to Alaska.
A person can come to Alaska any time, but it might be well to have at least a whiff of a job first. Every time there is some hope a gas pipeline will be built a bunch of folks show up. It's pretty much an annual thing and has been for 30 years. Still no gas pipeline. ANWR isn't even close to starting up. Surveyors can always find work anyway, even better if they are registered ASLS. That is a lifetime meal ticket.
Well, I'm no surveyor, I just poked about with teh aiming circle when told to once upon a time.
"Keller, push this button. What's it say? And the numbers below that? Thanks. Run this over to the LT."
*chuckle*
Nothing wrong with being rear chainman while boning up for the state license exam. Surveyors like to hire people who can do the heavy lifting and have a clue what they are doing.
ha! Yeah, they pulled the thread with your pic I made for ya, AAM.Well, HERE it is again. Hopefully, this thread won't get pulled. :)
Confucius say "ZOTTTT!!!!"

That looks like a Sphynx cat that got his face into some Rogaine.
Oh, good. Glad ya like it.
Glad Shelley likes it, too. :)
Better to use your native languge instead of butchering english.
Call the legal team now ! This is an angle that hasn't been expressed 2 million times ! It is a revelation!
Meek is da King o Pancakes. Shelley looks wonderful!
Aint she cute!
Meek's House o' Pancakes . . .
No it's "Meek's King O Pancakes". IHOP can not compare ; )
Wah thank ya, suh. Most humbly. :)
hehe!IHOP. They have great breakfasts! :)
Well said! Perhaps Jim needs to post this on the sign-up page and it would help to indoctrinate the new to proper etiquette. I wonder how many take the "razzing" to heart and just leave? Oh well, if you can't stand the fire..........
