she's still in a coma.
she's in cardiology icu.
the hospitalist was giving me and my family the run around, not there, not telling us much; so, i fired him.
MsMcD,
Thinking of you. Keep involved in her care, and I really like that you are thinking of things in her perspective in that she lived a proud and satisfied life. It's so hard to think of the big picture at times like these. Make sure you take care of yourself too.

i just wanted to take a minute and express the appreciation i feel for this place.
simon and angharad, thanks to you two for putting up with the crap necessary to keep this place available to disenfranchised outcasts like me.
also, thanks to the forum administrators who work to keep the place relatively cordial and welcoming.. but really, this forum would be nothing without the posters.
Thanks Auld Soul. I appreciate you too!
we're having summer in the uk this week so earlier this afternoon i put my two guinea pigs out in their run to 'mow the lawn' while i went indoors and had something to eat.. i went back out later to check that they still had some shade from the sun, stepped out of the door just in time to hear a loud splash.
i dashed to the pond to see if it was one of my cats who had fallen in.
but it was one of the guinea pigs who'd managed to escape!!!.
didn't know guinea pigs could be such good pets. Sorry about your guy Purza.
a while back i mentioned on a post that my 19 year old niece was "df'd" for having an affair with a married man.
she is "obsessed" with this guy.
he is a guy at her job and he is in his 40's with a wife and three kids.
without reading any other replys, my first instinct answer is let her move in with you if she wants. She is being abandoned by her father, and he is telling others to abandon her too. That's really disgusting and cruel. Don't let their messed up logic get in the way of an obvious anwer. If you love her like a daughter, then find out what she needs right now, and if it's a home, I'd let her move in.
Also help her out with some therapy. My friend did try to kill herself in February over a breakup, and her parents, though not JWs, treated her as if they were JWs. She is also still Obsessed with they guy, but thank goodness, she found some free therapy and psychiatric care (including meds.) YOur niece needs to get back on her feet, and only sane people, like yourself, can help her do that.

i got this idea from my wife.
she posted a similar topic on one of the forums she frequents.
A-DOR-able, especially the little girl at 2. Cutie!
exiles: iran jews to wear yellow ribbons
iranian expatriates reveal that national uniform law authorized by iranian parliament includes clause obligating iranian jews to wear yellow ribbon; christians, other minority members to wear colored ribbons as well.
if law passes non-muslims lives will become intolerable .
Some posters seem to be a bit confused: it's that "Ko-Meenie" guy that is the bad guy. NOT THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. They are innocent bystanders.
<<<<<<<<monday i want you all to send your greetings.
nothing nasty gumby!!!!
just kind sweet things to a very old lady!!!!!
Yippee!!! Happiest of birthdays, Mouthy. You're age doesn't show at all from your smart and interesting comments on the board. Don'tcha just love the web?

i wrote the following song... i thought it explained how, maybe, people felt when they were leaving the org.
<br>.
here it is and i hope you like it.
I follow..
I like the line that "I've been dying all along". It's true! We thought we were going to live forever, yet we now know the truth, we're like everyone else: we've been dying all along.
yeah, i made it.. i volunteered for the us army wayyyy back in october - graduated from basic in december, and have spent the last 20 weeks struggling to get through the officer candidate program at ft. benning.
yep.
i'm going to graduate in about a week and become a 2lt.. the experience has really helped me get a lot of perspective on my former life as a jw, and i am pretty excited about the new life that's in front of me.
How awesome. That's great. What a sense of accomplishment you must feel. Thanks for all you did and all you will do.
