so, now we embark on yet another chapter of the legal battle about whether a person has the right to terminate their human life, with the approval and assistance of medical professionals who are otherwise sworn to preserve life.. oregon is the only state in the united states with such a law (physician-assisted suicide, as so called), though many other countries recognize this act as a fundamental right; and this law, passed by a considerable majority of voters in this state, is now up for review, and very possible rejection, by the obviously conservative and religiously right-leaning supreme court of the us, with a new leader hand-picked by...well, let's not go there.
for myself, i have no hesitation whatsoever: if i'm faced with the virtual inevitability of suffering a prolonged and painful death, versus a relatively painless and reasonably quiet termination, at my own hands, with those i love, then god-damn anybody who would stand between me and the right i have over my body.. what do you think?.
ps: i post this in friends...perhaps it should be in another section?
How can anyone argue that abortion is wrong (conservatives) because the unborn child doesn't have a choice
and then
argue that "assisted suicide" is wrong - when the person is making the choice.
I'm for making the choice for myself when the time comes
I don't want to be a burden on my children
so stew meat was taken out last evening at approx 6:30pm and was left out until 7 am.
it was laid face down on the metal stove so it thawed fairly quickly, leaving it at room temp for many hours.
so at 7am this morning, it was put in the refridgerator and then at 9:30am taken out to be cooked for a stew.. .
We didn't eat it. She got mad put it in fridge and tonight cooked it for the dog.
We have new stew meat, but at this point I'm not sure she wouldn't poison the broth

Wow, I wash the sideboard, sink and utensils after handling meat that is uncooked.
I like to get the meat right back in the refridgerator while still chilled.
......but most of you agree with my wife......but out all night ..... warm?!?!?!
Hank Hill and I don't approve! (and it actually does scare me)

I asked the question "Do you think it's safe?" and the reply was "yes".
I said I would go buy some more and that was met with anger.
What do you think? Was I being "overly cautious" or was there a chance the meat was not safe? Sure the government websites say that red meat shouldn't be at room temp for over 2 hours, but is that practical? What is the "real" time frame for red meat to be at room temp?
Would you serve it to your children?
imo, they are no different a form of entertainment than the gladiatorial arena fights of ancient rome.
i actually feel that they are more sinister because they attack people on an emotional level.
jerry springer, dr. phil, the real world, survivor, elimidate, all are full of nothing but catty, bitchy women and douchebag frat boys or people cheating on one another, or a panel of celebrity "judges" who do nothing but get laughs by ruthlessly insulting other people.
Maybe I'm just a stick in the mud, but I think it's really shitty to be entertained by someone else's pain, sorrow, or humiliation.
Whoa fella! Let's get you straightened out and quick.
does anyone watch this show?
last night's rerun had a couple guys dressed up as mormon's = but they came up to the cops asking, "would you like to hear the good news of jehovah?
" when the cops said no, another one came from across the street and put the guy in a headlock and started beating him up.
I"ve seen that one BillyG
Isn't Reno 911 great! We watch it as a family
Sure beats those Monday family studies
it's not often talked about but in my experience a lot of witnesses have sex (or something like it) during their courtship.
and most of them never go to the elders about it.
recent case in point: my dear friend got married this past summer.
By the way, this dear friend of mine refused to talk to me once I let him know I was disassociating. His wife had one final msn conversation with me and implied that he was very angry about my decision and I would likely never hear from him again. Nice.
It's all about looking like you are serving God er...the WT
that's what some places are getting for their kobe' steaks in las vegas!
Not unless it was 40lbs and got to have a doggie bag
hi everyone, haven't posted for awhile.. i am probably just rambling tonight( a few glasses of great red wine) so pardon me.
every once and awhile i just have such great sadness that begins to permiate my thoughts.not just for me but for everyone who has walked this path.
i happen to have a pretty great life, but sometimes this deep sadness rises up in me for all the things that might have been.
Confused.. Sorry we are Yankee fans!! We are from NY "Getta Outta Here". ( hope that's funny sometimes my jokes are funny in my own mind).
Well there is the source of your sadness! Cleanse your soul at the feet of David Ortiz! Sox just won 5-3 to tie the Yankees for the lead!
