Sorry to hear it, AA

[AlabamAlum]

Thanks, guys. We opened and finished a bottle of Blanton's and a Don Julio, then I went home and finished a Booker's.


He wants to know if I would end him if he gets too far gone....I ....just, can't.

[Jungle Rat]

Naw. Just make sure he's drugged up at the end & in no pain.

[AlabamAlum]

Hospice people have been helping end terminal situations for decades. Kevorkian got press because he said it out loud, had a contraption, and did it with some atypical patients.

I assured him that he would get the "morphine until apneic" treatment regimen.

[Jungle Rat]

That works.

[Johnette's Daddy]

Praying for him - even moreso for his wife/kids if he has any). Really, really hope he has good insurance.

[AlabamAlum]

Two grown kids. Daughter gets married in June. Money/insurance aren't concerns in his situation. He was set to retire in May and travel. So sad. One of the truly good guys.

[Jungle Rat]

At least he played it smart for his family. That's a good man.

My next door neighbor died of a heart attack at 43 years old 4 weeks ago. Had 3 school age children and no life insurance. I was not that close with him, but two of his kids and two of mine are good friends and now they have to sell and move away. He made a decent living, I don't understand what he was thinking.

[Professor Tiger]

Sorry to hear about your friend, AA.

[Jungle Rat]

How someone with kids at 45 doesn't have life insurance baffles me.

[Professor Tiger]

I assured him that he would get the "morphine until apneic" treatment regimen.

I've seen that a lot in this situation, and it's what I would want.

Could be he smoked, which triples or quadruples the normal life insurance premium.

Cigarettes are just bad business all the way around.

Is there any evidence he is a Republican?

Ran for Senate as a Republican in 1986 and identified himself as a Ron Paul supporter in 2010.

I'm a 2A supporter, own several guns, and believe in a citizen's right to carry as long as they get a permit and show proficiency etc.

I didn't care for the various guns-in-bars/guns-at-work bills our teaparty legislature passed everytime the NRA or ALEC came around, and argued the point with BOJ more than a few times.heh

But now comes the the end game, as the state senate has passed "open carry, no permit necessary, anything goes." Eventually the House will follow suit. And even though our moderate (re: not crazy) repub governor won't sign it, there's enough tea partiers to override his veto.

Any legitimate lawman knows this to be true - there are two kinds of people who open carry:

1. A cop on duty
2. A nutjob.

So the guy is sitting handcuffed in the back of the cruiser, shouting "Heil Hitler" and various anti-Semite slogans at passersby and media people.

Yet his three victims are Christians.

Bingo.

I'm not a gun-banner (step dad was a cop), but to have more regulation on bicycles than guns is ridiculous.
