Just for fun, I’m going to try to explain this story to my mom.

In this case, it is an end-of-life situation. Furthermore, why is an elder’s suffering less than a baby’s?

Not much. What’s up with you?

Thank you. Strangely, her death was less traumatic than her life. We are all at peace now.

The courts have shown enormous empathy for the parents - the entire process has been intentionally incredibly gentle to them, given they’re already going through hell. This case has been covered for a long, long time in the UK: this article is a... slightly slanted view of events. You can read the chain of rulings -…

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.

Skipping to the bottom (will go back and finish!) but I am so glad to hear from our Elizabeth. I’ve read, linked and refered to that interview hundreds of times since I read it. Always wondering how she and her family were doing. So excited to see her out there helping, using that story to make it better for the next…

“Coincidentally, this is also my very mysterious response when people ask why I am going all the way over to the emptier downstairs bathroom”

I will try. I’d love to visit Bosnia and take the train there, too... beautiful country.

It’s a benefit concert with the goal of raising lots of $$$. Doesn’t it behoove them to get the biggest, most commercial acts they can? It’s also being booked to bring some joy to the victims, who happen to be Ariana Grande fans and would LOVE all of the acts they lined up. Truly, no good deed goes unpunished in this…

So edgy.

You oughta know I’m gonna frickin love this musical. It’s already won me over, head over feet. I’ve lived, I’ve learned, I still love this album.

The message I got from this is that Scott is NOT a fun partier. He’s a binge drinker who is out of control and likely blacks out, drunk pees in the closet or bed and says terrible and embarrassing things with zero memory the next day. Bet you he also constantly reeks of booze as his body attempts to metabolize the…

I had a dream that I did karaoke and I was doing a Rita Ora song and I said “this is a song by Who?” And people were mad at me because they LOVED Rita Ora.

kicked Disick to the curb (where he summers, winters, springs, and falls)

At least you were aware of the risks and could make an informed choice. It sounds like this poor woman, and many others before her, didn’t.

I was a little relieved reading this story that I had my hysterectomy the old fashioned way. I won’t ever look at my long scar the same way again. Happy to have you old friend.

This is tragic; and I feel so personally grateful that she spent her last years in leading a righteous cause. Had she and her husband not been medical professionals and assessed the situation, who knows how many other persons would have been fatally harmed?

In all seriousness, I laughed at the audacity, smoked my cigarette, and felt pretty. Then, I walked across the street to go back to work. And,
