Why do you think George W. Greer seems to have such popularity in Pinellas Co.?
To: floriduh voter
Well, they had something breaking re: Laci Peterson. Why a murder that has already happened is more worthy of airtime than a murder we are watching live, is baffaloing to me. But again I am old fashioned.

That's right. The nursing idea came up when he was promising to rehab her with the malpractice funds. We are speculating that he attended St. Pete College. St. Pete College's nursing director is also on Hospice's Board. Maybe when he found out that he could just be rid of her, the nursing director hooked him up with Felos who just happened to be on the Hospice Board at the time.
After hubby was hooked up with Felos, thus began the "Terri must die as per her wishes" began (around 1997).
All they had to do was to get the right Judge on board. How hard was that? Judge Greer was a former Hospice Board Member himself. TERRI STILL ALIVE BUT SURROUNDED BY MEN WHOSE WISH IT WAS THAT SHE BE STARVED TO DEATH. They almost succeeded.
Terri is doing well now. I'm sure the Schindlers will give an update tonight on H & C.

Where is Jackie Rhoades today? I wonder how she feels about her "best friend" being starved to death. What's up?

Pillar of his community... like a pillar of horse hooey, that is.

We are speculating that he attended St. Pete College. Do they have public records of who they issued diplomas to?

And why is a Republican on board with such a bizarre agenda? This is something I would expect of a Democrat.

Osteoporosis is diagnosed in girls (young women) in their mid teens. Especially those with eating didorders. Osteoporosis was not diagnosed in Terri's case. Lack of periods does not necessarily mean that you have this disease. Many can attest to this fact, including top female athletes. The stress from a bad marriage alone can cause havoc with your periods.
Terri must have been in excellent shape on the whole just to live through the last 13 years with no physical therapy and no treatment for infections (on Michael's orders). It takes a strong healthy body to fight off infections.
To: HiTech RedNeck
"Does osteoporosis and its symptoms just "go away" when proper nutrition is resumed?"
I need to look that up. I do know that osteoporosis is diagnosed thru bone density tests.
To: FR_addict
Therapy was done but not for a very long time.

You Posted: P.S. By the way, as to your speculation about why I didn't post yesterday, you are way off target. It is not unusual for me not to post on Sunday. I go to church and after services I donate my time to help out in the office or ongoing church projects. A review of the posts made here yesterday would indicate that there are more than a few that are not similarily constrained.
My reply: yest that is right there are some of us who are NOT in Church, which goes to show you that there are lots of peoplw who feel that morally the decisions that are being made "on behalf" of terri are not all from the "Right Wing Christians" The Jews have weighed in on this and I amyself although a Christian am not a member of a church.
This should dispell any rationalization that it is those "Right Wing Christians" therefore you can wholly disregard all their opinions and comments.
State sanctioned murder is of interest to all people, athiests, Christins, Jews, Musloms etc. Don't make this out to be driven by any particular religion or lack of.
From a humanistic standpoint this is plain old wrong, no one even needs to bring religion into this.

What all happened at the Tiger Bay Club? I saw Diane Coleman's opening but nothing else.

Check the Florida State Board of Nsg.
They give that info, along with license number.

I'm curious what these "ongoing church projects" that daylate is allegedly involved in are, anyhow. Weeding the flower garden? Painting in the parsonage? Starving the useless? (oops)

does anybody have copy of Jackie Rhoades statements under oath , during the 1996 guardianship hearing reports ??? No, but according to these articles, Jackie Rhodes said this:
A life interrupted: Terri Schiavo's family and friends look back
Jackie Rhodes, who worked and socialized with Terri, says Michael would frequently call his wife at work and leave her in tears. She says she and Terri had each discussed divorcing their husbands and moving in together.
----------------------
And this:
Schindler Family Attorney Responds to Michael Schiavo
ANDERSON: Terri got her hair done that day and spent more money than he thought they should have. They had a great big fight before he went off to work. She was so upset about the fight that she called her best friend from work, a girl that she had discussed perhaps both of them getting a divorce and taking an apartment together. She called this girl, Jackie Rhodes, told her about the big fight.
She was sufficiently upset that Jackie Rhodes asked her should I come over, should I come over and spend the night with you so you'll be safe, and Terri said, no, I'll either be asleep or pretend to be asleep when he gets home from work.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right. We've got one minute.
ANDERSON: The next thing Jackie heard, she was in the emergency room.
VAN SUSTEREN: Was she was -- all right. Is there any indication she had any head injuries from any of the records there are, any physical injury at all?
ANDERSON: There is a notation that her neck was ridged and stiff and that her body was stiff when she...

And this:
Who Has the Right to Die?
The day before Terri Schiavos life descended into a private purgatory in 1990, she indulged in a guilty pleasure: an $80 visit to the hairdresser. When she told her husband, Michael, over the phone, he reacted angrily at the cost and the two traded bitter words, according to Jackie Rhodes, a friend of Schiavos. Michael says he arrived at the couples St. Petersburg, Fla., home late that night and stirred Terri awake to exchange a kiss.
-------------------
And this:
Family says marriage unhappy before coma
Mrs. Schiavo would plead with her husband not to quit a job he disliked because of the couple's financial problems, testified Jackie Rhodes, Mrs. Schiavo's friend and co-worker. But Schiavo did quit, leaving her to support them, Rhodes said.
---------------------
And this:
Series Day 3: Seeing Signs Of Life
To undermine Michael's credibility, Terri's close friend Jackie Rhodes testified that Terri often spoke about divorcing Michael and described him as mentally abusive. Terri's sister Suzanne and brother Bobby also said their sister wanted to divorce Michael, and that she spoke of it only days before she collapsed. Bobby said Terri wept as she told him, "Bobby, I am miserable, I am so unhappy. I want to get a divorce."
In June 1998, soon after Michael asked the court for permission to remove Terri's feeding tube, the court appointed Richard Pearse as Terri's guardian ad litem. His job was to investigate the facts of Terri's case and represent her interests in court.
At the 2000 trial, Pearse concluded that he had not found clear and convincing evidence that Terri would have rejected life support.
Pearse said he was troubled by the fact that Michael waited until 1998 to petition to remove the feeding tube, even though he claims to have known her wishes all along, and that he waited until he won a malpractice suit based on a professed desire to take care of her into old age.

Thanks for posting Terri's friend's court testimony. That was very enlightening. What a fine friend. God bless her. I wonder how she feels about Terri being starved to death.

It's against the law to withhold food and water from farm animals. "Letting Terri go" means starving her to death. Surely you can't mean that you think it's okay to starve a living breathing human being to death.
