that is not something physicians do for you, you make the decision and say you were not able to do this, your next of kin can do if you are terminal. Each person has a time to die, we cannot stop this. I know I tried with my mother (by the way, she had refused a lot of treatment herself for her cancer) by telling her world events, telling her her great-grandson coming to see her, just basically trying to bargain. A lot of elderly people decide to stop eating on their own, happens a lot. At her age, why did you not approach her earlier regarding her being a non-christian? Who knows in her heart what she believes? Might be one and you just do not know. Again, this DNR is a decision made by someone other than the people treating her. She might have made a Living Will that you do not know about. Regardless, everyone on this earth has a time and just be glad you got to go to her and be with her.

They have requested here that they do
Halloween Thursday night too for safety reasons, but said they cannot enforce it, so we may have 2 nights of it.

most requested item from my pantry
Don't forget the sweet things tend to be the favorites when everyone is freaking out. We skipped the valentines day thing this year and made a massive pink cake that everyone made together and ate instead of spending tons of money on cards and candy.

Opinions on GPS nativagation devices requested

I will need to be traveling and want to purchase a easy to use navigational device. I see there are so many and the prices vary considerably.

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with any in particular? I will be traveling back and forth to medical facilities in the same state that I live in and will be driving alone.

Thanks!

My daughter's 3rd grade teacher requested 100 mechanical -sm
pencils. Now can you imagine the needing 100 mechanical pencils (or even regular pencils for that matter) in one year. It is mechanical therefore refillable. I can see maybe a dozen, but 100???? A friend suggested a typo....I ended up buying two packs of 24 at 5.50 a pack. There was no way I was getting 100, what am I supplying her kids too??? Or all the kids whose parent won't buy any supplies? Or is she reselling them on ebay. I am definitely asking the teacher about that one or the school, definitely nuts.
