  1. I thought is was just my TV. Glad to know someone else had problems. Not sure what I think about it yet. I thought we would love 'Men of a Certain Age,' and my husband said it just depressed him. Waiting to see where this one goes.
  2. Actually, I don't mind the idea of treatment or medications at all, but so many people always use the argument that we are supposed to follow God's will or plan for us. If that is true, then when God deems it appropriate for you to have a deadly disease, then you should allow God's will to take control over it, and not the doctor's that provide the medication. I am playing Devil's Advocate (irony there!) in challenging the belief that we should take medications to prolong our lives beyond what God has chosen, but do not take medications to end the suffering and pain. If you truly believe it is
  3. At that point, you are making a conscious choice to die in a set amount of time. Whether one chooses treatment or not, the end result will be death, so your supposition is not just impractical, it is illogical. We are not saying someone can live forever, just a little longer. If Zeus comes down and says you can live 2 wonderful weeks and then die, or 6 weeks of horrible pain and then die, is it still suicide? After all, you die either way.
  4. Choosing to not have treatment is not suicide. It may not be the best choice in many cases, but it is not suicide. Suicide implies you are making a choice to die. If you are making a choice to live the time you have left your way, it is not suicide. The risks of any treatments include death. Therefore, the argument could be that receiving treatment is suicide because you are knowingly choosing the risk of death. I guess that means if choosing not to have treatment could be considered suicide, then choosing to have treatment could be considered suicide. Both have the risk of death.
  5. lol! I forget my ring half the time. And my husband's doesn't even fit him anymore.
  6. While I have repeatedly stated I was talking about those who have been deemed terminal, I still think choosing to forgo treatment is not suicide. It may mean life, because instead of being weakened and sickened by the treatment, you can actually go live the rest of your life. You can travel and visit and be happy for a while instead of sick forever. So, choosing to live longer does not necessarily mean you are living your life. It is a personal choice, ESPECIALLY if you are told you may extend your life a few months at best. Why not live a good life for a few shorter months instead of li
  7. Medicines mess with God's will, whether they are to prolong a life or end a life. Can't play it one way and not the other in my mind either. And it can't be suicide if you do nothing to end your life. By living your life as though you were never diagnosed with something and not getting treatment, it isn't suicide. That is like saying it is suicide when someone dies in a car wreck because they rode in a car. They just did something they do normally and they died. It isn't suicide, unless they intentionally drive into a wall or something.
  8. I like the one where he said you can tell people are married because they are yelling at the at the same kids.
  9. I think if the battle has a snowball's chance, you should try. But once all the snowballs have melted, and you are only dealing with pain, I get it. In my grandmother's case, she wasn't talking about doing anything while she was able to be involved with the family. Only when she reached the point where she wasn't able to handle the pain, and she felt she could no longer function, did she even consider it. She didn't do it. I was the only one with her at the moment of her death. Other people were down the hall, and due to a tragic coincidence, my uncle (her only son and he had no family of his
  10. I do get my notifications on Yahoo. I have no idea what I used to do it now. lol! That is why I referred you to the forum. They can answer ANYTHING! My battery life depends on what I run on it. Check your running applications and make sure you aren't running 100 different things. I do that periodically (every day or so, or if I notice a battery drain) because sometimes I turn on an app, and forget to turn it off.
  11. Isn't receiving treatment for cancer taking God's will into your hands? Are you not playing God then? We take medications to prolong our lives way beyond what we would be able to do naturally, so how is taking a medication to end your life any different? Again, I am only focusing on terminal illnesses, not just having a bad day.
  12. I get my yahoo mail on mine. And as for saving pics like that, I don't know. Check out this site: http://www.droidforums.net/. It has lots of info and you can ask questions.
  13. My grandmother discussed when she learned her cancer was terminal. She had fought the battle with cancer and won several times. After about 20 years in remission, it came back with a vengeance. She had nursed 2 husbands through the final stages of cancer, and she knew what was coming. She discussed with my mother and my aunts and uncle the idea of ending it before she was reached that final stage. They balked and argued with her, so she didn't. I understood her choice. I could see why she didn't want to go through that part. Not that I wanted her to die sooner, but I understood it. After a
  14. I love my Droid! Tons of free apps. Great sound quality. Unscratchable glass. Emails are easy to read and access. GOOGLE MAPS for navigation. Cons -- Reflects light too much in the sun. The sensor is in the top left corner, and some covers block it. Accidentally putting calls on mute. Can't answer the phone with wet hands (touch screen). A little bulky, but fits in jean pocket okay.
  15. We can do that. No one will know we are there, and we aren't going to stir up anything to make it worse. Just gather info. Once we know what we have going on, then we can make sure we deal with it in the best way.
  16. My daughter is in college, and I know I would worry if she were that upset. But, my daughter sometimes comes with me on investigations, so she knows all about it. I am part of Paranormal Sisterhood. We were started by women, but we have men, too. We just like the name too much to change it now. lol!
  17. Call Paranormal Sisterhood at 678 439 1829.
  18. I traveled across the country in the back of a pickup truck while my dad drove. We did it all the time!
  19. We did the sword fighting once and it about got me in major trouble! We ended up at the ER because he fell and hit his face and arm on something. He swore his arm was broken. We get to the ER and they ask him what happened. First thing out of his mouth, "Mom was chasing me with a BIG stick." They wouldn't even let me go with them when they did the xrays!
  20. How many of you fellas peed on an electric fence?
  21. My kids have always been adventurous. I think it is more than important to let them try things. I did have to stop my son once though. He came into the kitchen with an old desk lamp and said, "Dad! Mom! Watch this!" He plugged in the lamp and proceeded to stick his finger into the empty bulb socket. We stood there with our mouths agape for a second. He stopped and said, "Isn't that cool?" AND DID IT AGAIN! We started yelling for him to stop at that point. lol! He was no worse for the wear, but it was not his brightest moment! Well, maybe it was his BRIGHTEST moment, just not the smartest.
  22. I love it! Can't wait for the pictures.
  23. Just NASTY! I used to work at a clothing store and we had a problem with man coming in and 'enjoying' the clothes a bit too much. We were next door to another store who had the same problem. We finally figured out who it was and we all ran him out!
