“I’m a registered organ donor and I really don’t lay awake at night worrying that some ghoul with a scalpel is going to mistake my REM sleep for brain death.”

How do you know your organs are not under surveillance right now?

first, they start tracking your buying habits through your local grocery store and debit card.

Then, you start being flooding with spam and mail regarding nutritional info, and fitness center discounts.

Then, an innocuous stranger mentions to your wife that it looks like you’ve gained weight, and she happens to pass on this observation too.

Then, your kids teachers tell them to ask you how many beers you drink a night. You feel guilty and cut back drastically.

Finally, it appears that someone is messing with the brake line on your car, and your hot water tank pilot light keeps going out, and in the morning you find catnip smeared on your face in the morning with fur stuck to your lips.

Don’t think you are being sarcastic.

Look at the woman who was refused immigration to New Zeland because she was too fat and a potential burden to their socialized medical system.

Consider, how the left has tried to make EVERYTHING a health issue. The environwackos use children to blackmail guilt in PSAs. Perhaps we will have laws requiring prohibition or rationing of red meat in order to protect the organ harvest pool.

after all, its for the children...

Or they could just show up one day, and say "we're here for your liver."

Well my organs could very well be under surveillance right now and I really hope “they” enjoy the show. Back in the day… maybe…but now days? I’m a 46 year old woman and things just don’t hang out in the same places they once did if you get my drift.

first, they start tracking your buying habits through your local grocery store and debit card.

And aren’t “they” are going to be really confused by my grocery list: low fat organic milk, low fat organic yogurt, a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, skinless boneless chicken breasts, a big thick cut of prime Angus T-bone steak, a box of Mac and Cheese, a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and a bag of Doritos. Hey a girl’s gotta try but then a gal’s gotta do what a gal needs to do.

Then, you start being flooding with spam and mail regarding nutritional info, and fitness center discounts.

You mean if I get off the organ donor’s list that will stop spam emails? Count me in. Heck, what is the potential to save another human life in comparison to the annoyance of bogus stock tips and penile enlargement?

Then, an innocuous stranger mentions to your wife that it looks like you’ve gained weight, and she happens to pass on this observation too.

What part of Caramelgal didn’t you get? I don’t live in Massachusetts and I don’t have a “wife”. I do have an ex-husband however and BTW he is not my medical power of attorney.

Then, your kids teachers tell them to ask you how many beers you drink a night. You feel guilty and cut back drastically.

I have nothing to feel guilty about… not anymore…but there was a time…well let’s just say my liver is doing much better now but I still imagine that someone will open me up someday, take one look at my liver and say “ewe”.

Finally, it appears that someone is messing with the brake line on your car, and your hot water tank pilot light keeps going out, and in the morning you find catnip smeared on your face in the morning with fur stuck to your lips.

I am a 46 year old single woman who lives alone with 3 cats. Waking up and finding catnip smeared on my face in the morning with fur stuck to my lips is just called “morning”.
