While we all wait to see how the Terri Schiavo case plays out and if the state is allowed to pronounce a death sentence on this poor woman, I thought I would take this opportunity to make a public statement. I'm assuming and hoping this declaration will serve as a "Living Will" since I'm too cheap to get a lawyer and notary publics are annoying.
Here goes...I, The Beloved Deb, being of sound (cough) mind and gorgeous body, do declare that in the event of some unforeseen tragedy that leaves me in a vegetative, near vegetative, semi-vegetative, comatose or overly drowsy state, that no one is given permission to remove any life-sustaining tube, pump or drip from me.
In addition, everything possible means to keep me alive and breathing, whether on my own or by machine should be mobilized.
I want all my friends and family to visit regularly and say loudly how much they love me. I want someone to do my make-up and put hats on me. Also, bring me presents. And it would be nice if Godiva chocolates and In-N-Out cheeseburgers (with onions) could be routinely run thru my breathing tube.
I want to be dressed up every Friday night and taken to dinner at Le Dome.
I expect to look really cute at all times and would appreciate it if someone would load my iPod.
Now, no one can say, I would rather die than live in a suspended state of nothingness. It ain't true. I'm stickin' and if any Democrat attempts to put me out of my "misery", I want them sued, jailed and publicly denounced.
Thanks in advance, The Beloved Deb
Will you donate your cleavage for medical research? :)
It would keep us reassured that global-intellectual-inflation concordance would remain secure and that rectal-cranial inversion doesn't predominate in your absence.
ho we'll keep it well oiled and limbered up don't you worry none;-)
Got your back Deb!... : ) <<< me
Lol! Ditto me on that, Deb. And I'd also like Freepers to elect someone -- preferrably some trustworthy Freeper volunteer -- to steady my hand when I'm marking my absentee ballots (since almost everyone in my family would have me voting for a rat!).
My favorite line. And thanks for the laugh. You did a great job.
Absolutely. Auto-Post will regularly call someone a "urine-soaked moron" in my absence.
The Lord is Terri's Shepherd --- That's Relationship !!!
She shall not want --- That's Supply !!!
He maketh her to lie down in green pastures --- That's Rest !!!
He leadeth her beside the still waters --- That's Refreshment !!!
He restoreth her soul --- That's Healing !!!
He leadeth her in the paths of righteousness --- That's Guidance !!!
For His name sake --- That's Purpose !!!
Yea, though Terri walk through the valley of the shadow of death --- That's Testing !!!
She will fear no evil --- That's Protection !!!
For Thou art with her --- That's Faithfulness !!!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort her --- That's Discipline !!!
Thou preparest a table before Terri in the presence of her enemies--- That's Hope !!!
Thou annointest her head with oil --- That's Consecration !!!
Her cup runneth over --- That's Abundance !!!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Terri all the days of her life --- That's Blessing !!!
And she will dwell in the house of the Lord --- That's Security!!!
Forever --- That's Eternity !!!
Congressional Subpoena --- That's Deliverance !!!
Face it ---- The Lord is crazy about Terri !!!
Otherwise --- Why else would He continuously deliver her from
the evil hands of her attempted murderers ???
Thank you for bringing a smile through my tears.
I agree. And I'll take it a step further. I think euthanasia should be legal but only under circumstances clearly stated within a living will. Starving someone to death is not humane.
Hopefully such a condition will never befall you. If it does, can I hang bumper stickers on your bed?
I have always been opposed to euthanasia. I think America's young folks should stay in this country...
Psalm 23
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
God will be right there with me the entire time and even though it would be tough some around me, it would be for the best
Unfortunately, I understand the killers have removed the feeding tube. I'm equally upset with our Government for not protecting this women. I am no longer a Republican.
You don't respect anyone's wishes which run contrary to your own.
You California Rinos just love pontificating to the rest of us but maybe you should concentrate on delivering your state on election day instead of thinking you can pawn off your pro-abortion, pro-homo, pro-decadent agenda on the rest of the G.O.P.
I'll make sure you've new hats to wear, Deb. :^)
I said I respect her wishes. In fact I went out of my way to say I respect her wishes. I just think it's selfish. If you post a vanity, you can expect people's are going to offer up their opinion.
