No. She told us the options she had been given and asked what we thought. She seemed happy with our response.What I gave was a great condensation of what happened. I also left out how the doctor who wanted to pack her with sedatives and let her starve and dehydrate to death was retaliatory...

I understand, but his great problem was fear, which can be allayed without killing him. In my dad's case, he had an advanced directive prohibiting "tubes" (probably phrased differently, but that's the effect). As a result, he could not be assisted with an IV giving him hydration that would have...

OK. Done.

Holland | Patients Rights Council Among other things: 'A recent Dutch television documentary on euthanasia in which a 68 year-old woman suffering from semantic dementia was given a lethal injection may well herald a turning point in what many consider to be an increasingly broader — and...

Before getting too enthusiastic about the helpfulness of euthanasia, look at what has happened in other countries, particularly Holland. I entirely agree that people at the end of life are often mistreated, prolonging life to make money on tests or killing them to save money. Money being the...

I will get SS on my own, but I haven't made much, so half of his full SS might well be more than my full SS. However, if what I would receive as a surviving spouse will be less than my full SS, then I think I should wait to take SS. As a widow, my share of his pension is about 2/3 of what we...

I am the wife of a CSSR retiree who also has some Social Security coming because of other work. His SS will be reduced because he has a federal pension. Will mine be reduced also if he dies before me, or would I receive the whole amount, since would be the survivor and already receivng a reduced...

We used the Turbotax available thru the IRS website last year for free and it worked fine. Is that not available this year?

So, what do you think of the Inspiron 6000? I want a notebook and am seriously thinking of getting one. It would be used mostly for email, pic swapping with the family, and maybe some home office uses.

Loved Chiang Mai in 2001, just before 9/11 fortunately. I was with my Air Force daughter, and we both got Thai massages for about $10 each. It was great. We went to a respectable establishment for one, and arranged with our 4 star (but cheap) hotel for the other. We didn't want to get involved...

OK, how can I vote against abortion and euthanasia, and for corporate responsibility and worker rights. All these hang together for me, but politically they don't work, which is frustrating in the extreme.

Invisible how? And how is this a "chinese solution?"

There are some kayaks on sale in the current Sierra catalog.

My daughter who lives in my same town would be given my healthcare power of attorney. I have made no directives. Having been thru this a couple of times myself, I believe this is best since situations can be so different. Most importantly, she pretty much shares my outlook on such things in...

Not being an engineer, does this mean that the hybrids are a good idea? I hope so...it would be so great not to have to depend on oil for so much.

What a cutie, such a smile!!

Yes, but consider the size of those countries. Maybe you could consider going from, say Virginia to Oregon as an equivalent.

Not exactly the same situation, but a friend of mine has a schizophrenic son who will probably need help the rest of his life. She has looked into it extensively and is working with a lawyer, who specializes in this sort of thing, to set up a trust for when she is not longer around. Apparently...

That's exactly why we paid ours off. Plus we owed so little on it that there was no tax deduction anyway.

Azanon, The quotes were to differentiate a certain type of retirement, distinguishing it from the activity of Martha. Retirement could also be leaving the group or even going to sleep. Don't know too much about hardcore Southern Baptists. BUT am inclined to get cranky about calling what women...

Oh!!! You are talking about guns and ammo!! I was wondering what planet ya'll had started speaking from.

However, in my family the women don't tend to last very long after 65, if that long. Does this mean I get a discount?

I kind of like the idea of a "viscous" attack. ;)

Made mikey's version plus turmeric and it was quite tastey. Also, didn't have any Italian seasoning, but used Herbs de Provence with extra oregano, which worked just fine. I drank the wine before dinner (Pino Grigio) and tossed a little in with the stew. I will do this again, all of it.

We have a very nice ceramic tile floor in our remodeled kitchen...a sort of lightly variegated light grey. It hardly shows any dirt at all. We used a charcoal grey grout that doesn't show dirt either. We only use water to clean it. Works great, very happy with it.
