    Once a person gets to nursing home care they have a 50% chance of being dead in one year. Almost 100% with 12 months. The myth of languishing in nursing care for years is just that. The fact is that shallow people just don’t want to be burdened by a family member with a fatal illness. They want em gone. 

       They will od you with morphine within a couple weeks if you’re lucky.  
    My wife sees the opposite a lot of times. Family members putting their elderly family members through needless surgery, only to die on the table. 

  2. No way!!!! 
    You owe me $2,000 spin. :lol:
     

    Not only had money to run their commercials every commercial break through the play offs,  they paid to have their name on the screen the whole time.   Stay tuned for the State Farm post game!

    Am I missing something here?

    Maybe, Country music is different in other parts of the country?  Listen to a few different stations, went to a handful of concerts, YouTube plays the most popular country songs. Never heard anyone playing, listening, raving about her album.  Jelly roll, Jason Aldean, shaboozy, wallace, Chesney. 

    You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing their music.

    I always valued humans different than animals. 

    Why?  My dog is my solace and best friend. I value her life as much as any of my friends.

    My grandmother at 99 was and in nursing home, had 3 strokes in the last 2 years of her life, she just wanted to go to sleep and not wake up. Her 7 brothers and sisters were gone, 2 of her own kids gone, 2 grandkids gone. One day we get a call the nursing home is putting Gram on suicide watch after the doctor talked to her. She was pointing at the tv and telling the doctor that's my guy get him in here and let me go, it was Dr. Kevorkian the suicide Dr...  She's 99, can't feed herself, go to the bathroom, shower, change her clothes, she pretty much can't do anything herself she just wants to go to sleep and not wake up she did not want to live like that. She passed away a couple weeks after that and passed in her sleep just like she wanted. She told us when she passes to cremate her and put her in the cemetery with her husband, no funeral service, no flowers no nothing.

    If you couldn't  take the time to come see me when I was alive and bring me flowers don't come see me when I'm dead because I can't talk to you or enjoy the flowers you brought for me. Gram and her husband purchased their headstone from Sears it already had their birth years on the stone, we had to have someone change the stone for grams side.... 1910 - 19.. to 1910 - 2010, she kind of out lived her headstone.

    My Grandmother lived a great life . She had a lot of friends, was very social, golfed everyday well into her 80’s. She spent the last year of her life in the same condition as yours.  My aunt put her life on hold to be a 24 hour caregiver.  Very admirable, but my Grandma would of never wanted that. 
    obviously it should be our decision and not the government.  I have made it very clear to my wife and kids .  I don’t  want that for me or you.
