> And then there is also Terri's 19th wedding anniversary coming up in a few days NOVEMBER 8th

Gah. What do we do for that, send Michael anniversary cards filled with itching powder, red pepper and the common cold virus?

Makes ya wanna go out and hire a supersleuth detective (Colombo! lol) to find out if MS is doing to Jodi what he did to Terri (and as per a never published letter to the Tampa Newspaper-but printed here on FR without a last name, withheld out of respect, reported that MS had yet another child, now a teenager with someone before Jode but after marriage to Terri). Would be interesting to see if MS has held to his MO and see if he has other 'women' right now. That might make Jodi shout what she knows from the top of her lungs!

I hope this turns out to be really good news! As mentioned, I've contacted George Noory often regarding Terri. Just sent him a lengthy email today updating him on the news about the Schindler's guardianship petition, directed him to some links and info about Dr. William Hammesfahr. Dr. Hammesfahr's the neurologist who testified that his treatment methods can provide some improvement for Terri and that he believes he can restore her ability to speak. I suggested that Dr. Hammesfahr, accompanied by a member of the Schindler family, would provide content appropriate to the show's format. I just got this reply from George. (If someone here is in touch with the Schindlers and would like the copy of this email with the producer's address for follow-up, please FReepmail me.)

Dear xxxxxx:

Great guest suggestion. I have forwarded this to my
Producer Lisa Lyon to get the ball rolling on this for
a one hour guest.
You may stay in touch with her at xxxxxxx@aol.com .
Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up!

[sweetliberty]

Sounds like a good possibility there.

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks to both of you for your responses.

Hey-Hey Lonevoice!!!

Great Job!!!!

When people become educated on the subject they come to our point of view. Even Ed Koch came out and said, that this is not a "right to Die" case.

I hope that this idea of yours takes off and that the Schindler family takes advantage of this opportunity you have gone after. My hat's off to you, another foot solider in this moral war. If the Schidlers can't do the interview suggest that catholic priest, I think he is form Michigan. I think he would be a good #2 choice don't you thnk so. He has met witht he family and all and can speak on their behalf if they give him permission. Perhaps they already have given him permission. Suggestion- why don't you e-mail him (the preist) directly and not take a chance that "the family" will read about this opprtunity here. The priest will know what a good opprtunity this is and proactively get in tocuch with the family, don't you think?

What I would love to see on Larry King when the Schindlers come on are pictures of Jodui and the kids. For the kids they could blurr their faces, but there is nothing like a picture is there? Now with digiat cameras pictures could be e-mailed to laryy King. I swear if I was in Florida I would be the most sneaky person in this whol group. I would be laying in the bushes, like the paparizi.

Brainstorm!!! I'm going to write to the national enquirer. there is nobody better then them at routing out this kind of story. The reason is they pay for information and most news organizations won't pay. Witness the Rush case, O.J. Simpson they haad pictures of the shoes, etc. etc.

I think I'll e-mail the Nationl Enquirer and give them stuff to go on and let theri paparzzi take the pictures with the telephoto lenses. he-he-he I told you I was sneaky. Well I am only sneaky for a good cause.

>> Brainstorm!!!

Is this a good idea? Take it to the kids. Get their support. Get them involved. See if we can get high schools or colleges to elect Terri honorary Homecoming Queen or Prom Queen or fraternity sweetheart or May Queen.

Even the Blue Meanies might think twice about murdering the homecoming queen with the whole country watching.

SCHIAVO: No, it eventually didn't work, no. The protocol for the stimulator was three months. I kept it on her for a year.

I know I've read references to this one somewhere on here. But would someone please refresh my memory? What did they do to her in California? The phrase that the protocol is 3 months, but he went for a year on an experimental procedure, just keeps bugging me. Hope someone can help me out? Thanks!

[Krodg]

The Schindlers believe Schiavo may be trying to end Terri's life to avoid paying alimony that could be awarded if a new guardian successfully petitioned for a divorce on her behalf;

Don't forget the small matter of turning over the guardianship records....it's still about money.

> Or maybe if she just pays a "rental fee" for use of the building, the wedding can go forward.

There apparently are priests for rent too. George Felos managed to find one involved with "assisted suicide" and happily used him as a pet witness.

For a few extra bucks, they could skip all those corny old promises in the ceremony -- you know, like, "forsaking all others" and "in sickness and in health."

I posted her name this morning. Tonight kcvl supplied her website on another post.

http://www.katesjourney.com

Her story was so powerful.

When O'Reilly asked her how long it took to come back, she said it was only after she received acute therapy.

It is so horrible to contemplate, listening to people talking about you as if you were gone and you are fully cognizant.

She said the feeding tube removal and subsequent pain was excruciating. They even operated on her without anesthesia. She was horrified when Michael S. said this was a painless way to die.

If her husband hadn't been her strongest advocate, she would be dead. He had to threaten to sue the doctors to get them to replace the feeding tube after eight days of starving his wife.

It sounds like the doctors are the ones who are brain dead to put anyone through this torture.
It makes you wonder how many times this has happened before.

[FR_addict]

Was Michael's relationship with another woman brought up before in earlier petitions?

Maybe Judge Greer really didn't know until the recent public exposure given this case.

[nickcarraway]

Bill O'Reilly is having a segment on Terri tonight. With a woman who was in her situation and later recovered. Her feeding tube was pulled for 8 days, and she could feel everything.

[Republic]

I believe the family has the RIGHT to know the names of the doctors who would NOT put in the feeding tubes upon Terri's arrival at the hospital. (Perhaps there was a medical reason for the delay...but if THREATS from Michael were what kept them from acting promptly-there IS a lawsuit in the offing!)

[sweetliberty]

I saw that. Amazing, and effective.

[FR_addict]

No wonder Felos is so upset. If Michael S. is removed as Terri's guradian, who will pay his bill? He should not be allowed to challenge Terri's law, since he would no longer represent anyone, unless Michael pays Felos' exorbitant fees out of his own pocket.

Good. This has great potential for getting the word out. If I remember correctly, he has either the 3rd or 4th most listened to show. I'm glad he's continuing to support the cause of life.
