I opened the door and let Hellraiser out, thinking with the snow and the cold, he would appreciate our generosity in giving him a home. Wrong!! He took off....loving the snow. Playing and jumping. I had to get out the treat bottle and shake it to get him to come back in.He just ain't right!

Jeeze, jj. That is a toughie. We were asked that for my sister. And we did have a "Do Not Resuscitate" band put on her....but then when she did not quit breathing, we all opted for a feeding tube....I think I would opt for #2. My mom was given life support for a few hours, and we had her for 6 more years...good years too. My sister made the decision to resuscitate her and it was worth it. Each situation has to be considered.
I was cruising around and got lost. Somehow I ended up here.

Hi Glam and Dale!

Serious question. I don't want to know which you would choose but would like know how you interpret the following options. They are on the POA
1
I do not want my life to be prolonged nor do I want life-sustaining treatment to be provided or continued if my agent believes the burdens of the treatment outweigh the expected benefits. I want my agent to consider the relief of suffering, the expense involved and the quality as well as the possible extension of my life in making decisions concerning life-sustaining treatment.
2
I want my life to be prolonged and I want life-sustaining treatment to be provided or continued, unless I am, in the opinion of my attending physician, in accordance with reasonable medical standards at the time of reference, in a state of “permanent unconsciousness” or suffer from an “incurable or irreversible condition” or “terminal condition”, as those terms are defined in Section 4-4 of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act. If and when I am in any one of these states or conditions, I want life-sustaining treatment to be withheld or discontinued.

Hello Everyone.Sorry I'm late today.
Day 4 of the avatar story...
<-----------
1
I do not want ...
2
I (do) want ..., unless...
I agree with Glam. I'd take #2.I see what Lisa has said, but I also see it as you saying you want extra measures taken, rather than not, unless that doctor claims there is no good chance of a reasonable recovery (as stated).
I got lost on the beach once. Here's what happened...

Hi VG!
I don't think I can post any more today until I calm down. I just had a half hour battle with my cell phone service provider, T-Mobile. They pushed the wrong buttons that I thought were stuck solid to never come up. Yep, I had a grand mal tantrum. I thought no one had that kind of power over me to make me hostile and ugly. They have $400 of mine on a deposit that no longer pertains and they refused to refund it after they agreed and even gave me a confirmation number for the refund transaction. I called to see where it was since I had not received it in the mail. They changed their mind!
I am still angry!

Hey VGHello Stone.
I hope you're staying warm. It's not too bad here... about 44o.
Hey VGI'm warm enough, I don't mind the cold much...but I hate the summer and whine for 3 months about it
We really didn't get much snow. The sidewalks and streets are clear, but areas around us got 3 or 4 inches. I think they might be calling for more soon.
And probably not anyone around you, either. 
Those teevee people keep saying itWho's calling for more snow? Certainly not JJ.And probably not anyone around you, either.
