Not familiar with Millenium. Just thinking about the announcement you might get on a doomed flight.
Since no one is available to bail you out tonight, you will have to spend the night in jail. Normally we wouldn’t force anyone to have Bruno as a cell mate, but the jail is full tonight.
Mine is a firefighter too. He’s had close calls, and each has been harrowing. Blonde’s post brought instant tears to my eyes. I wouldn’t be able to answer that door either.
I lost my only child to suicide. That was and remains the worst, I couldn’t bear losing the other love of my life.
Yeah, well, that’s probably my second scariest possible news, But.
Once my brain starts to go, I’ll never have any idea I’m a drooling idiot. While that might be painful for my family and friends to watch, I’d worry more about having to watch that happen to an SO, parent, child, loved one in general.
And yes, ccwaterback, every time I see a Christopher Reeve on tv, I look around and say, “damn. I’d have to off myself.” To which my friend replied, "How?
And frankly, I’m stumped. Not to denigrate any paralyzed person’s courage, but let us not confuse courage with lack of ideas on how to off oneself. Just sayin’.
“God called. He said the Fundies were right after all.”
:eek:
My husband announces that he’s been having an affair for the past three years with George Bush and he’s leaving me just as soon as he accomplishes his mission to off Laura.
If you get a chance, leaf through one of his books. He’s definitely a poster boy for a positive mental attitude.
shrugs It’d be tough, but probably doable. For example, if you have a motorized wheelchair and you’re near some sort of cliff or really steep hill, just drive off and hope you sustain enough injuries to be fatal. Probably wouldn’t be that painful - you’d only feel the injuries to the head, and those would knock you out in short order. Alternatively, just ride out on a cold night and let hypothermia do its work. Or ride out into traffic. Basically, the trick is to just put yourself in a situation where something else - gravity, weather, cars - will administer the coup de grace for you.
Point being - a quadriplegic could kill him/herself if he/she really wanted to. And it’s easy to figure that out - so a non-suicidal paralyzed person isn’t so simply for lack of ideas.
ccwaterback Millenium is (no spoilers. This is the basic premise shown in the trailer and ads) an sf film about time travelers from the distant future. They know what planes will crash and travel to them minutes before the disaster takes place. A rescue squad impersonates the flight crew and ushers the passengers to a time portal. I thought your post was a reference to the instructions “Please remain calm. Follow your stewardess’ instructions. Walk towards the light.”
“HI MY NAME’S FRAN. Guess we’re partners, huh?”
summer_lavender I don’t get it. Which Fran are you referring to? The first Fran who pops into my mind is Fran Dresher (of The Nanny). I can think of many activities she’d make a wonderful partner for
