Sumo Merriment

Hey, hope you feel better. Maybe you have the little virus going around and need more rest or sumpin. We've had it with this war and this president, that's for sure.

Hope you can catch up with your rest and throw off whatever bug is bugging you. I'm glad Dr. Kevorkian is out again. He never should have been convicted. I'm all for the right to choose. My poor Dad could have used his services that last long miserable year he spent in pain with NO quality of life at all.

Glad to see your back, just in time too, you've been tagged.

hilarious cartoon!
I had not heard the good news about Dr. Jack. I love that man. Yeah, I'm sure he has the RX to put the decider out of his misery.

Feel better!

I need to understand something: assisting someone with a terminal illness in choosing when they die is bad; killing people in Iraq is good, right? That's the world according to the American Family Association, and Bush.

Great toon!
Strange how the faux christians decide when it's "ok" to kill people ; (

I understand how you feel, my dear. We just aren’t allowed to be sick. Everything around here came to a screeching halt while I tried to get better. Will someone please tell me why it is always the woman’s job to make Christmas merry? Oh well - I'm better now (if not completely chipper) and I hope you are too. As for Kevorkian – I’m of two minds about him. I believe in the right to die; but Kevorkian seemed so ghoulish about it. Were I faced with such a choice – I’d pack myself off to Amsterdam where doctor assisted suicide is legal and have it done right.

Hope you get to feeling better. I do love those toons.

I hear that Jeb might have a job for him as an executioner when he gets out. Apparently, the Florida hangman has the same dexterity with a needle as he did poking the chad out his ballot.

I felt pain in my mouth as if somebody had stuck a fist in there. Turns out that it was the fat lady, the one who sings, pulling the words out of there.

It's funny, we can show compassion and euthenize pets when they're suffering, but if a person is in pain and wants to end it, that's just wrong.
I remember when my mother was dying, they gave her the option of being hooked up to a machine to live, but she didn't want to be remembered that way, so she chose to die with dignity. If it happened today, I'm sure there'd be a lawyer somewhere insisting she be hooked up to one.

Mary...thanks for the encouragement.

pbs...I'm sorry your Dad had to go through that until the end. It just isn't fair. My FIL has it good with the hospice and I live next door which makes it easier on me always being home during the day to help with things.

Fred...I hope it isn't poisonous! Heh!

Bluegrrrrl...I think he's a hero.

Diva...It is a mind twister isn't it?

Coffee M...yeah...you're right there.

TFLS...I wasn't aware of Amsterdam allowing that...why is it that they are hip on stuff before we are here. Oh!...that's right...the US is full of prudes. Maybe you thought Dr. K. was ghoulish because he sort of looks that way. But I love him for trying to help people. He's aces to me...I'd be honored to me him.

Donnie...thank you sir!

Poobie...yeah I heard about that. So it took him 30 minutes to die...but he was undoubtedly knocked out for most of it...or was it the guy couldn't find his vein in all that time and the guy was psychologically tortured? i guess I don't know the whole story.

Pekka...sorry...not sure what you meant there.

Lew...I agree...and I'm sorry about your mother. I for one am glad that we take care of our animals as much as possible. And humans deserve the same. You'll find doctors and nurses who do not want their patients to suffer at all...and then there are the ones who could care less. If it isn't time for the shot they make them wait for it. In the meantime your loved one is writhing in pain and screaming. It's people like the later that makes me want to walk them into a corner with my finger pounding into their chest telling them to get the damn shot!

Previous drivel of mine = "the fat lady sings" took the words out of my mouth. I don't blame you, my English sucks...especially when I try to pretend being witty.

Pekka...at least you pretend...he he...I couldn't be witty if I tried.

Great toons Sumo! (As usual) Sorry to have been a stranger myself as of late, it's my busy season. And my blogroll update notification doesn't seem to be working!
