Excellent news! I've been reading the articles, and this is truly a blessing. Septic gall bladder? Yikes : (
I've been spending a lot of time on the May Day threads, so I haven't been keeping up with the Terri dailies.
Two patients in different Texas hospitals are alive today because of the protest raised by the public following their doctor's decision to discontinue medical treatment, this according to their attorney. Andrea Clark's fragile health is improving and she has been transferred to a new doctor. Yenlang Vo, a patient in St. David's North Austin Medical Center, has been given an additional 30 days to locate another facility for treatment. Both had been designated for death via the removal of life sustaining treatment under the Texas Advance Directives Act of 1999, a law that permits an unelected, self-appointed, anonymous ethics committee to forcibly remove care.

Somehow the May Day threads and ours are interrelated, what with Judge Greer's gaggle choosing May Day, and that being also the critical period for Andrea. May Day was an eye opener in lots of ways.
No trouble in my neck of the woods, but damn...the riots in Vista were something else. There was a live thread here, but it was glossed over by the local media. The same with trouble in downtown Los Angeles. No cows...they tip cars :-/
Just wait until 6/6/06. On monday, some idiot posted on myspace.com saying yesterday was "bring your gun to school day" in Newhall, CA. Hart HS was crawling with Sheriff deputies.
It looks like there is hope for Andrea and Mrs. Vo. If they pass, they go on the Lord's time schedule.
I was underwhelmed by the economic impact of the illegals, insurgents, or whatever they were called. Not much of their presence here. Even though they were told to behave, their true selves got the best of them and they just had to riot anyway. Must have been tough to the media to have to ignore a lot and focus on the American flags. Riot on May Day is like a tradition in Europe.
What ever happened to the old fashioned fun of cow tipping or outhouse tipping? Things got serious.
Bingo! First Prize to be decided on when I get around to it :-)
Interesting, isn't it, that "Terri's Law" works in Texas, too. Wherever the law favors death, it will be scrupulously observed. Wherever the law favors life, it will be ignored.
It is too bare!
You cracked the secret code.

Peaches...........
........ aren't vegetables?!?
Bears watching....
Bear with us.
Couple weeks ago, wife heard noise outside on the porch and figured it may be an intruder. Armed of course, turned on the outside lights and was on the other side of the big picture window maybe five feet away, from an unperturbed black bear standing up. He was reaching up easily to touch the soffet, one big black bear. Wife did not go outside and visit with it, I am grateful to report. (It was a real possibility). After several hours he left. Next night he climbed into the bed of the pickup truck. Then he ambled off not to be seen again.
Hahahaha! There is a thread here somewhere where a poster asked what we bought. I cannot believe how many of us went to WalMart on Monday. I usually don't patronize them, but I've been needing a new kitchen trash can, and Monday seemed the time to do it. Also bought a carton of smokes, and found a sun tea jug at Target. Bought a few items at Stater Bros, too. Didn't spend a lot (don't have a lot, lol!), but dammit we had to do something. I know a lot of Hispanics that are plain disgusted.
I haven't seen any legitimate stats on economic impact from these marches, except for the Mexican businesses who were "encouraged" to shut down, and for the workers who were threatened if they showed up at work. Yep. May Day in all its' socialistic glory. The American flags were a calculated ruse, imo.
Things are getting really serious on all fronts.
ROTF! Pssst....tomatoes aren't vegetables, either ;-D
Schiavo phrase book (open for contributions):
Jack the Ripper raised his dagger and schiavoed it into the woman's heart.
The horse was sick. When it schiavoed, a large, smelly puddle formed.
"Forget about ebola," said Pianko. "We'll schiavo the human race."
As long as he's not trying to date your daughter :-)
Our amusement all week has been turkeys at the bird feeder.
That is what the bear was after, the bird seed and also the suet hanging high, no problem for him. He just munched and squished the holder.
Wife was relieved the noise wasn't a human. Wasn't afraid of the bear, should have been.
Not to forget schiavo means slave in Italian and felos means, well, felos....
Thank you. You conspire. I'm going to go have a beer.

If there was such a group, I'd bet on the wall of silence cracking.
Revealing wording. A judge is supposed to rule strictly on evidence. He doesn't "side" with one party.
