Mr Francis. I was a very shy child, written off by some teachers, but he was the first to see my potential and to encourage me. I was mortified the first time he took one of my poems and read it to the class, I wanted to hide under the desk, then at the end I was overwhelmed at the response from the class. I think it was the first time that I felt that I could actually achieve something.
Do you ever wonder why you keep coming back here? And what’s the answer??
Have you been talking to Yukon?

And what about the elderly parent left in the care of children who couldn’t give a toss, anyone of whom could give the old dear an overdose of medication and claim it was an assisted suicide? It’s far from a black and white argument and too many grey areas mean too many possibilities for abuse of the system.
That was why I said if the appropriate controls were put into place. I agree that it would need to be strictly monitored, although no system is 100% free of abuse.

Few of us haven’t had to stand by and watch those we love die, often agonising deaths, but like the pain of birth it’s a fact of life. Suicide is a personal choice but assisted suicide asks too much of other people and it’s an unfair ask, a burden too many.
If those that I have watched suffer that couldn’t do it themselves asked me, as indeed I was asked in my first example, and if I knew it was legal to assist, I would gladly help them. The burden of sitting watching someone suffer when they really want a release from it all but are being kept alive by the medical profession is far greater than the burden of having helped someone end their life in such circumstances.
I hope that if, god forbid, I should meet my end in such away that I will have friends around me who will help with love and be free of the fear of prosecution…but that is my personal wish and I would never seek to impose it on another.

Or just be honest and tell unwanted guests to go away as you have something important to do, like practicing breathing or deflea-ing the gerbil.

Taking a dog for a walk these days can be a bit embarrasing, since you end up having to carry a plastic bag full of poo home.
So why not train your dog to carry the plastic bag in its mouth? The dog can then saunter home carrying its poo with pride!
lol…i love it :lol:
