I arrived at Hospice Woodside Wednesday afternoon at about 4:15 p.m. I waited for a deluxe table to accommodate the lovely floral arrangement for the Schindler Family from freeper gwb and gop man, also on behalf of talk radio in Savannah, Ga and floriduh voter.
The flowers arrived before gwb and gop man and I drove them to Hospice Woodside with other decorations for Free Republic's table #8.
Freepers, the theme for our table went back to the founding fathers. Printed artwork from Dover Publications was of lady liberty standing side by side with an eagle, a town crier crying "Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Terri's forty!", and another eagle with a banner with "Protection" on it.
In addition, the donation cup on Free Republic's table consisted of a flag, a small gavel taped onto it and hanging on by a twist tie, my Daniel Webster beanie baby. Daniel just happened to be carrying a cloth book entited "LAW". Daniel Webster made some cash for the Foundation.
I brought a large crystal drum of the fife and drum variety filled with peppermints and butter rum candies.
I brought my Photo Album that documented October 13th. In addition, thanks to another freeper, I printed out a 17 page list of all the threads that were posted for Terri at Free Republic through November 18, 2003. I put Free Republic's Logo in a stand up picture frame and also wore my name tag from the Friva Conference held in Las Vegas in August of 2001.
There were also pewter battery-type candles on our table by the floral arrangement of white roses, iris's, stattis, baby's breath, day lilies, etc. All of the above came together on a long table that I held out for.
Please bookmark this thread and hopefully, when other freepers in attendance and myself get our film developed, we could put our jpegs in one location. Please excuse all the "I"s but this is my account from a freeper's perspective. Unfortunately, Buffy the chicken was not in attendance. If you'd like to see her picture again, let me know.

Seems to me there were posts on an earlier thread that this particular hospice is bankrupt and will be closing their doors as soon as Terri's dead. That seems pretty fishy, too. I forget who posted all that information.

No, it was one of the regulars who did a lot of research....maybe Ethan or graymatter. The volume of stuff has been overwhelming. Anyway, it seemed like the information was solid. I just think it's fishy that they're waiting till she dies to close up shop, or that they're doing it as soon as she dies. At least that's the way I understood it.
Was it one of y'all who discovered that the hospice where Terri is is bankrupt and supposed to close their doors when she dies?

Were you the one, FV, who posted yesterday that Hospice was closing in four days for renovation and that Terri would be moved?

Thanks, NYer!

Thank God you are ok, Floriduh Voter. I was worried about you also. You did a fine job of reporting the highlights of the vigil. I hope my pictures will be ready to post tomorrow. It was great seeing the Schindlers again as well as the friends of Terri and the supporters of Terri's fight. Those of you who couldn't be there in person, were most certainly there in spirit.
God Bless us, every one. Especially Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

T'was I. They are moving her to the other hospice facility while the one she is undergoes renovation

Thank you so much FV, and all the other FReepers who participated, for carrying the spirit and intentions of all FRiends of Terri who couldn't be there. The pictures are fantastic.

To: walford
If the poster is able to succeed in convincing a FR Moderator to pull a thread because he/she/it caused someone else to become so angry that they did something they shouldnt well, that would be a dream come true. As it is, the poster is probably rubbing its hand with glee at all the attention and disruption caused so far
I have to respectfully disagree with that. Heres a couple of things to keep in mind...
1. Not everyone is going to agree on any single topic on every single thread - unlike Liberals, we are not all in lockstep. We call that "Freedom". So, here on FR, you ARE going to come across opinions you don't like. It's inevitable. So, with that in mind...
2. When you see an opinion you disagree with, YOU have two choices - A. Ignore it and move on, or B. Get angry and respond. Either way, the choice is yours, and the person who posted a differing opinion did not "make you get mad", but rather it's a choice that you make as an individual. The choice to get mad is your own.
No one can make us get mad, or make us reply - we do that all on our own. We call that "Personal Responsibility". The old "He made me mad" excuse is a bunch of hooey.
Take it for what it's worth - we all have choices to make. Which choice we choose is up to us, and no one else. :0)

Hi, FV! :o) It's so good to hear from you! Thanks for your report and the pictures! And thanks for your hard work and thoughtfulness with Terri's birthday salute from FR. How thoughtful, especially, that you got that beautiful flower arrangement for the Schindlers. They've been on my mind -- it had to be a tough time for them.
Thanks for all you've done, hope you get some good rest tonight & over the weekend. This is just a quick check in to FR for me; I'll hope to get some more time later this weekend.

http://www.hospicepatients.org/Hosp-FL-Suncoast-entrypage.html I think some of the financial difficulties of the hospice are at this site, I just popped on for a minute tonight. I do recall a specific article that implied Mary Labyak and others there are funneling donated funds into 'for-profit' orgs, not sure if that particular article is on this site.
