Boy talk about hate.

The Terry Shiavo mess! Jeez them guys hate the hell out of each other!

I can not imagine hating someone so much! And I dislike most people on pure principal.

Personally I think Michael Shiavo has the mind of a 3 year old. He is throwing one hell of a temper fit!
Dude, uhhh hello, your wife is/was a vegatable, so you shacked up with another woman and had 2 kids. Why the hell are you so intent on "punishing" her parents? Her parents did not go out and pick up a replacment daughter, they have stood by her side for a long time.

Terrys mom and dad, uhh hello your grown adults start acting like them. If you cant change stupids (the son in laws) mind then move on. If you believe 100% in your religion then you would know that your god is not going to be upset at all about how or were your daughter is buried. He or she (your god) knows you gave 100% and that is all he or she can ask.

My parents may or may not have fought to keep me alive if I was in the same situation as Terry was, but I will say they would have acted more like grown adults and moved on. Heck mom would just say a few hail mary's and everything would be fine.

An expression I hear all the time "you can chose friends but you cant chose family"
well you cut your friends lose when its hopeless and family, well they may always be family but you sure the heck dont go to the extent these fools did.

Me I have disowned and acctepted back nearly all my bros and sisters at one time or another. I get over it.

A wise man said to me along time ago, "you cant change some poeples minds learn to live with the way they are"

I think it was told to me when I was suppose to mow the yard and was trying to talk him out of making me do that. He was right. I mowed the dang yard!

Ok back to your bourbon and diet coke (I am trying to lose a few pounds shut up!)

panoply

By BEN DOBBIN, Associated Press Writer

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A 36-year-old woman with severe hypertension has been fitted with a pacemaker-like implant that, in limited trials in Europe, has shown promise in controlling wayward blood pressure through electronic stimulation of neck-artery nerves

Annette Lawrence, a mother of three, has suffered for a decade from a chronic condition that a panoply of drugs and lifestyle changes has failed to alleviate.



I had to look that word up.

hypocrite

Our president said this.
this is the same guy that is considered by some the death gov. of Texas.

President Bush expressed his condolences in a White House statement.

"I urge all those who honor Terri Schiavo to continue to work to build a culture of life, where all Americans are welcomed and valued and protected, especially those who live at the mercy of others," he said.

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak. In cases where there are serious doubts and questions the presumption should be in the favor of life."


The way stupid (GW) acts the rest of the time is the rich have a duty to kill the helpless, poor and anyone that might need help.

He has never protected the weak, and he has never been in favor of Life. 152 were killed while he was Gov. of Texas.

jeez

How the hell does she do it?

Every since I was old enough to get into something I shouldn’t or do something I shouldn’t my mother knew about it.
Eyes in the back of her head? No, its more than that.

Like the other day, one of my sisters wrote on her blog and I commented, that is I left a comment on her blog. After about 10 minutes I realized that I shouldn’t have said what I said, so I went back and removed it.
10 damn minutes in cyber space. I don’t even remember what I wrote.

So I see mom this weekend and first thing she said was "What you wrote on your sisters blog was uncalled for and harsh and your grounded!"

Dang!

My blond sister

so my sister, the one with the PHD..
she was trying to sell her car and get herself something a little more reliable to travel with her new baby.
well her car had over 200,000 miles on it and she couldnt get nothing for it.
she asked me if I could help since I use to do mechanic work.
so I rolled the odometer back to 50,000 miles.

so that was like 2 months ago.
I called her yesterday and asked if she had sold it yet.
she tells me, "sell it? heck no its only got 50,000 miles on it I am keeping it for while longer!"



thats for you sasha!

glad yall are ok after the "earthquake"

this is a crop of the photo below.  

yes those are birds you see in the Photo.

huge photo, if you want a copy of the whole thing email me. its 2 megs 

Picture with my new camera 

I believe in miracles

Terri something. Heart attack, no oxygen, vegetable.
Husband says she would not want to be sustained that way.
Parents say she can get better.

Before the neo Nazi GW love boys got involved, I thought, "Michael Schiavo, if she is not in pain and her parents believe in miracles let the medical community keep her alive, maybe just maybe we are wrong"

Well for whatever reason (I am not sure what) he fought that and the state court of Florida said, "sucks to be you but we believe the DR's and its time to let her pass on"

Ok. I might not agree but there was enough evidence for some high thinkers to say...sorry Mikey we know you believe in miracles but it just isn’t enough.
Let her die.

The parents, if they still believe in a miracle then in the next day or so she will tell them with her voice she is hungry. otherwise she is going to move on and so should we/us/them.

BUT

George "cocaine" Bush and his love neo Nazi religious right butt buddies have jumped in with both feet. The "FEDS" say that the states are too stupid to make a choice like that, we need the federal govt to say who should and should not die.
I think GW said it something like "The state of Florida cannot declare war on a sovereign nation and kill 100,000 people, only I can do that, ohhh hold on Rumsfield is touching me, now were was I? oh yea I am the only one that can say what is a Vegetable with no choice of recovery not a panel of expert Doctors who just think they know about the human body! oh not there donny, little higher ahhh"

What scares me the most is the fact they rushed thru a bill that was ill conceived, and will have long term implications with 60% or more of the USA citizens against it.
so they could come for you next. Next they could rush thru a bill saying all people who dont go to church on Sunday will be shot out of hand! they could hello! Ohhh wait then GW would be gone since MR. I am the religious rights president does not go to church but about 4 times a year! (I think he is to busy doing weird things with Rumsfield but that is only my opinion)

We do need checks and balances. We do need to look at as many sides as we can and then make the best decision we can as a society. It might be wrong but we did the best we could. In the case of Terri that was done about 3 years ago. Unfortunately people refuse to lose even if the cost of winning is so high that they will lose allot more down the road.

ok back to your bourbon and coke.

My sister did me proud!!!!

I just know you'll get a kick out of this story about my clever extemporaneous actions yesterday. . .

Peyton and I were at the car dealership waiting for them to fix some paint knicks on our new (used) car (!). We sat in a waiting room and Peyton was in his car seat on the floor. I suddenly hear a small fart around my seat. I look around . . . no one. I hear another louder fart. "Peyton, was that you???" I start laughing out loud because by now there have been about 4 farts that are getting louder and longer. He just giggled and giggled - so did I! Finally a salesman knocks on the glass wall of his cubicle and shows me a remote control. He had planted a fart maker under the chair in which I sat in the waiting room. We laughed, he came out and said I was the first to blame it on my son. ha ha.

A few minutes later a couple of business-looking men come and sit a few seats away. They wore nice suits, had really short hair, were quite uptight looking.

Soon, the fart noise rings again. The men look up at me. I coyly cover my mouth and say "Oh! excuse me!!" Then, the procession of multiple, increasingly loud farts began. .. Each time I looked up at the 2 men and said something like "Oh, did you hear that?!?" "Oh Gosh! I'm so sorry!". One time I looked at Peyton and said "Oh, those beans were just too much!"

Of course, being me, as this is going on I'm turning increasingly red in the face, which added to the real-ness of my character, I believe. And for some reason Peyton thought this was histerical and he just laughed and laughed. The 2 men were just dumbfounded. Their eyes kept getting big and they couldn't look me in the eye. They couldn't have dug their heads any further into their Forbes magazines if they had tried. Finally the receptionist stood up and said "OK!Enough! That salesman has a remote control fart machine under her chair!!"

The men were dead silent for a full 3 seconds before they busted up laughing (a bit of a relieved yet panicked laughter, I must say). The salesman with the remote was just so proud of me. The spotlight was mine and I felt the real power of the successful comedian. It's quite heady. I think I'll now pursue a spot on Saturday Night Live.

Thanks for listening and hopefully laughing. Elicia
