So, have a seat. Put your feet up. This may take some time. Can I get you some tea? Earl Grey? You got it.
Okay. How do I want to do this? He did so much. It's hard to just dive in. You know? You pick a spot to go from, but soon you have to back up and and go over this or that item, and you get done with that only to see that you have to back up some more. So if you feel like I'm off to the side of the tale half the time, well, this is why. Just bear with me, and we'll get to the end in good time. Okay?
Okay. Let's see....

Thursday's Canada News Briefs
Thu Jul 11, 9:41 PM ETBy The Associated Press
CALGARY, Alberta - A dying teenager who fought blood transfusions on religious grounds was disheartened Thursday after losing her bid for Canada's top court to consider the medical rights of mature minors.
The Supreme Court of Canada didn't provide any reasons, as is usual in such proceedings, when it released its decision that it would not hear her case.
"She was disappointed," lawyer David Gnam said of his 16-year-old client.
The decision doesn't affect the Calgary girl's medical situation as the Alberta government last week stopped forcing treatments on the Jehovah's Witness after 38 transfusions and four rounds of chemotherapy failed to arrest her leukemia.
Although her medical condition has improved, she is not expected to live much longer.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe the Bible forbids using blood in any way.
The girl, whose identity is protected under the Alberta Child Welfare Act, had said her case was about the rights of mature teens to make their own informed medical choices.

Supreme Court rejects case of forced blood transfusions for Jehovah's Witness teen-ager with leukemia
Thu Jul 11, 4:02 PM ET
CALGARY, Alberta - Canada's Supreme Court has refused to consider the case of a 16-year-old leukemia patient who was forced to undergo blood transfusions even though it violated her beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness.
Following its usual practice, the court offered no comment Thursday in rejecting the case.
"She was disappointed," lawyer David Gnam said of his client, who cannot be identified by name because she is a minor. "She wanted to know the reasons for that decision, but of course the Supreme Court doesn't give reasons, so it's a little frustrating."
The girl was forced to undergo 38 blood transfusions and four rounds of chemotherapy by the Alberta provincial government. Her treatment ended last week after cancerous lesions appeared on her back, showing the medicine had failed to arrest the leukemia.
According to Gnam, the girl considers the case to be about the rights of mature teen-agers to make their own informed medical choices.
"She said, `If they don't listen to my case, they are going to have to listen to another case in the future,' so she understands that the issue that she's raising continues to be a live concern," Gnam said.
The case divided the girl's family, with her father advocating the transfusions and medical treatment while her mother opposed them.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe the Bible forbids using blood for medical treatment.
The case had gone to court 19 times with lower court judges giving the Alberta government custody of the girl, who was then forced to undergo transfusions. Doctors said conventional blood treatments offered a 40 to 50 percent chance of beating the cancer.

Hello again,
I just received a last minute phone call from work saying I could not extend my stay in the UK after the work is over. So I have to be leaving London for home May 3 and would not likely get a chance to meet anyone, even in the London area, because I won’t have any days off.
Those who wrote me -- thank you very much for your hospitality, maybe next time. Somebody also seems to have posted my yesterday's message on some other board, because I heard from people who said they saw it posted elsewhere. While that person may have been moved by good intentions, and the results were the ones i sought, I still think people's messages should not be posted elsewhere without permission or at least notification.
anewperson: i'm sorry i'm short of time now -- my flight is in several hours. What exactly would you like me to tell you about?
