I am officially DONE with baseball. What a dissapointment last night. I cannot believe that the sox LOST after holding the lead for so long!! I did not want to see the Marlins or the Yankees go to the World Series so I am officially done with baseball this year!! It is Hockey and Football season now!! :o)
Hubby and I were talking last night and the subject came up of the woman that is in FL that is going to starve to death if something does not change soon! I found this website and this one. I personally think that it is horrible for her to have to suffer that way.... Ok, I understand that the husband wants to let go... FINE let go. Get a divorce from her and give her to her parents! Let her parents care for her if that is what they wish to do and it seems so obvious that they do. I am sure that he wants a life and is feeling trapped by a wife that is in a vegatative state. But I think that it is horrible that she will die of dehydration and starvation. We do not even do that crap to people on death row why do it to a woman that has done nothing wrong? Hubby believes that she should be let go... why let her lay there year after year in a vegetative state?? I say it is not something that just her husband should choose. I believe that her parents have a choice in the matter too, it is their CHILD, they are more closely related to her than her husband is! Hubby did not like that... he said so if something were to happen to me, my parents should have a say in what happens to me?? I said yes. They are my parents and if it were to happen to one of our children and they were married I would want the choice too!! Regardless of growing up and getting married you still have your parents!! I am looking at it from a parent standpoint! I would want a choice in what happens to my child!! I think that this proves the point that a Living Will is GOOD!! I have not updated mine in several years and need to now that I have more children.
I have finished reading the book The Sinner by Tess Gerritsen and have to say that was her best book yet. I finished it in a day and it kept my attention the whole time. If you like murder mystery then I suggest you read the series. I am sure that the series is not done yet and cannot wait for the next book. A nun is brutaly murdered and another is in critical condition, during one of the autopsies they find out that the younger nun had recently been pregnant and had had a baby, there are a lot of twists to the book. The best parts of the book are from the M.E.'s POV, a woman that is quite interesting. I hate to give away too much of the book. It has great twists and keeps you wondering who was behind the murders and how they were all connected throughout the book.
