Bert's Bluray skills are legendary. A modern day Phil Spector. No, no. Bad comparison. Sorry Bert!

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Good morning from ATX. Currently we're at a pleasant 72°F and clear. Could see some early morning showers. Expecting high of 90°F today. We'll take it.

The Schnauzer is returning to brother in-law's ex-wife's family. They want her back. We have no problem with that arrangement. Noisy dog. Barks at everything. It appears ex-wife left everything to her niece in a will.

Today I'll cash in the change. Stay tuned.

Leaving Friday for KY, with an overnight in Heber Springs AR.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

73.2°F and 67% humidity with sun shine. I really need to mow today because the grass is growing like crazy. I mowed Sunday and it must be mowed today or bailed later.

I don't loan my Blurays. I used to but some folks forget where they got them. On my ball games if someone get one from me it is a copy.

On Ymmot's music: the most wonderful part of his gift to me was a year by year top 100 songs. It is a history lesson. Wonderful. Then on the back he threw in a bunch of classic albums.
 
Well I just read where David Hogg has had 7 assassination attempts on his life in the last year! Just don't know what to think about this, except I don't think he has been thru Kentucky. SMH!! Said it would be the biggest mistake ever!
It would only take one attempt in Kentucky and it would not end in attempted.

Maybe you have found enough to ensure Blackshears commitment.
 
I thought she was older than 51.

Brave lady. Most people hang on to a painful and often miserable existence for every second they can. I think I read once that 80% of Medicare is spent on people in the last six months of their life. She let nature take its course. A strong faith in God allows one to do that.

I had a brother who had kidney failure and was in a nursing home. I had medical power of attorney for him. I was in CA and he was in KY. I got a call from the nursing home one day. He was refusing to go to dialysis and they wanted me to give them permission to force him to go. They put me on the phone with him and I asked him if he knew that he would die if he didn't go. He said he knew and he still didn't want to go. He had lost his wife of 50 years about a year before and had no children. He saw no reason to stay alive. He and I had discussed this matter before. I told the nursing home to keep him sedated and let him die. He died ten days later. I admired him for that. To let them give him an injection from which he would never wake up again

I totally agree.

I don't want to live without a purpose, especially if you are in horrible pain.

I just went through this with my friend. Her husband took 10 days to die last Thursday at 10:30pm. She has been at my house the last five days making sure that she did the correct thing. I am running out of things to say to make her feel that she did the correct thing.

She should not be worried, but she told the Doctor to stop efforts to save him on Sunday before he died Thursday. He could not make blood.

It hurts, but we can't be so stupid that we put people through massive pain (literal hell) before we let them go. The more you love someone the harder it is to let them go.

Yep. After his wife died I brought him out to CA to live with me and to be his caregiver. He was illiterate and his wife did absolutely everything for him. He could not function without her. He did not like any food that anyone (including his wife) served him. I took him to the grocery once and told him to pick out what he wanted to eat and I would fix it. He couldn't choose one thing he liked. After a little over a year, he asked me to take him back to live in a nursing home in our hometown. I did that. His kidneys failed shortly after that. He would just sit in his room all day watching Andy Griffith and Gunsmoke on television. He must have watched every episode fifty times.

He couldn't read. He did not know how to socialize, even with someone he knew. I can talk to total strangers about anything endlessly. He would ask me how I knew what to say to people. Food gave him no enjoyment. All that was left was going for dialysis 60 miles away several times a week (which he hated) for the rest of his life. Who wouldn't want to check out as soon as possible?.
 
It is wonderful and overwhelming in its volume.

That's what she said. ♫ba dum bump♫

I will snipe from cover just in case it gets Hillary ugly.

I know that you would! We don't say it enough here but, thank you for your continued service and your unwavering effort to keep our country sovereign and safe. Thanks man!

That's "Dogged" years...I'm sure he could put some mileage on a woman.

What a terrible thing to say. With that being said...
















HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I feel the same way and have let everyone know how I feel. My father was that way and said he did not want to be hooked up to tubes or put on life support. Thank God he did not. I was the only one with him when he died. He had kidney failure and congestive heart failure. Right before he died he called me to come close to him and asked for a glass of water. He whispered he didn't have long, his body was turning blue and he was getting cold. I got a warm cloth and rubbed his brow as he struggled to breathe.. He kept mentioning his mother and said he could see her. I asked should I call the nurse and he said, please don't. He lived maybe another 10 minutes at the most. He was ready to go. I stayed with him for another 30 minutes until the nurse came in for a routine check. She was upset with me but I told her dad and I had everything under control and God took over when I had gone the last step with him on earth. I never regret doing what he wanted in his last days on earth. Just die peaceful and natural. He did not want to be hooked up and kept alive another day or two, what would that accomplish. Dad lived a good life, a happy life and he wanted to go home.

A year ago my best friend died of pancreatic cancer and he died the same way. Sleeping in his bed at home with no wires or tubes, just his wife and family by his bedside. I wish the same in my last moments.
