I’m in your friend’s situation, and I agree with the other responses you have gotten. I would just add that it’s okay for her to emotionally shut down in those situations, sometimes that’s all we can do, and if you sense that it’s probably best just to leave her be, let the conversation run its course, and maybe try…

Kind of how I felt at the end of Pandorum when they tell the story of what really happened with the passengers and that guy who went space crazy - I kept thinking that would have made a much better movie than what they gave us.

Great story. Ignore the troll.

Intelligent points. The movie actually addresses them. It’s actually not that bad of a movie.

Have you seen it? Both those options are actually explored a bit.

I’m guessing you haven’t seen the movie.

I just saw it, and I don’t really get this review. The movie is all about his decision and how horrible it is. I understand all the comments here by people who haven’t seen it, but I don’t get the reviewers who apparently saw it and act like the moral implications are just glossed over when they’re not at all.

He first tried just upending the glass cup on his arm with the ant in it, but the ant just kept trying to climb out of the cup and didn’t sting him. He was pressing the cup down pretty hard there for a few minutes. He ended up having to catch the ant in the tweezer thingys and holding it down on his arm, then he got…

I feel the same way. And now I feel the urgent need to get a living will/advance medical directive done.

I actually made this hat and scarf last year, but thanks to El Nino/global warming/me living in the 7th circle of hell weather-wise, I never got to wear them. I’m so happy I have a wedding to go to in a few days and I got a simple, solid grey dress that I can wear my hat and scarf with - well the scarf at least, I may…

I know we’ve had this discussion somewhere around here before, but I’m just always so distracted and in awe of this man’s skin. I want to know his facial skin care routine!

And a hot woman running with him...probably in heels.

And the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting.

And then you can do a quick hop off the highway in West, Texas, to go to the for some awesome Czech kolaches for dessert.

Ugh, so wished he had been in STIV rather than the Gillian character. I really disliked her, bad acting, terrible dialogue, no real chemistry with the other characters.

Butterfly stitch. I got it from this website:

I’ve thought that about some of my baby blankets in the past, but people usually still seem to like them. This website has a bunch of knitting stitch directions with great videos. This is the stitch I used for this blanket:

It’s the butterfly stitch, and it’s actually pretty easy (compared to cabling and stuff like that). I found this website looking for a new stitch to try for this blanket, and it’s awesome. She has the best videos showing how to do each stitch, and lots of different stitches to try.

I’m so sorry! She’s beautiful. *hugs* I was such a wreck when my cat died a few years ago, even though she had been sick and a lot of work to take care of for a while. It’s so hard when they finally go.
