WMAL played a commercial for Montecristo Cigars. I didn’t think you could advertise tobacco products anymore?
They do on tv for cigars.
She sounds like she is worth keeping.
Really? On network or cable?
Cable.
Thanks. I’ve just not ever been satisified with this hospital, but I don’t know if my aunt is stable enough to attempt to transfer. The first day we were there, one of the doctors was telling a visitor, as their family member was dying, “There are worse things than death.” which just rubbed me the wrong way. I’m sure it was meant to be comforting, but, honestly, I’ve always thought where there is life, there is hope. I appreciate your prayers.
when my dad was ill, my sister was the one that explained to idiot technicians, nurses and doctors that they did not have absolute power with this patient
Anytime.
Supposed to be 103 here Aug 1st,
Yark!
Josh wants to know about the Bengals circus.
Sounds like he is at the circus!
Why on earth did Snerdly let that call through?
Rush obviously wanted to talk about Football.
I swear, someone has to! Your father was lucky that there were people there to stick up for him. I used to think doctors, nurses, etc. were there to help, but I’m not so sure anymore.
When my husband’s father passed away, we were in our early 20s’ and it was both our first experience with that type of situation. Had we known then what we knew now, he may still be alive. He had made his greedy sister POA, and the only thing he said was he didn’t want to be on life support, but had no written living will. (He had liver cancer.) His kidneys went into renal failure because of antibiotics this idiot doctor put him on (for no reason!) and his sister refused disalysis because she and the doctor said it was life support. I can see how it could be construed as such, BUT 1. There was no guarentee that he would need it for the rest of his life, 2. that he meant dialysis when he said life support, as most people mean ventilator, and things along that lines. Of course, we were niave, and when the doctor said it was against his wishes, we didn’t question. I’ll always feel guilty for not sticking up for him and I’ve vowed to never let anyone else I care about be killed by the laziness of health care “professionals”.
Prez Obama should just decree that the IRS will now be in charge of illegal immigration since the IRS hasn’t shown to have any problem cracking down on non-compliance of tax laws and they won’t be driving electric country class golf carts to find you either.
Liver cancer is serious stuff.
Its pretty much the death knell.
I am sorry for your loss
True but lately King is like a bull.
Does your vehicle get over 100 mpg?
16 kW·h (8.8 kW·h usable) l.ithium-ion battery pack
No AC and 100 degs sucks some sap.
