It is very disturbing to hear that medical people may be jumping the gun on declaring death to hasten organ donations. It seems like rules about when death can be declared need to be established that are consistently applied regardless of location. Stories like this will make all of us pause when considering donating our own or a loved one's organs.

DH is the same with his handwritten lists but he did use this. He had complained that there was too much to accomplish and he needed to focus. So he attacked the priority 1 tasks first, then the 2's etc.

LOL. You can probably mark me safe from spread sheets. I'm kind of technology challenged.

Did you micro blade before? DD does it, and while a bit pricey, it lasts years, and looks really nice.

The Steve Miller band was scheduled for the Grandstand at the Minnesota State Fair. They cancelled their entire tour due to climate change and the level of severe weather during the summer. They were scheduled for a lot of outdoor venues and said it isn't safe for the band or their audience. Crazy times, but they're probably not wrong.

Greetings all

Mostly sun today. DH had a dental apt this morning and since it is a half hour one way I was left with blissful control of the tv. He likes it quiet in the morning and I am a news hog. So just me and the dogs for a bit. Tomorrow is more structured; scrabble in the morning with a dental appointment for me and also for Tesla. Beaucoup bucks going for dental work in this house. I should not have made those on the same day but it is doable. DH will take her in early in the am and I will pick her up later. That is after I get a bunch of fillings. Crap.

So Liz and Peps geez, spread sheets for your daily chores!!! But yeah it is the way to get stuff done and it is so satisfying to check stuff off the list. I actually sort of do this on a paper list on which I arrange the errands sort of like a travel itinerary nearest to farthest with the tasks or items under each heading. They say making lists is one of the seven habits of highly successful people. Wonder what the others are? Looking at jokes on facebook is probably not one of them.

Have a good and meaningful trip to Martha's vineyard Liz.

Yeah Paula don't skimp on the calories right now. You are at a good weight.

Wow DD, now I am worried about organ donations. Seems like in every basically good think there is an element of ******y. ( i tried to play that word in on line scrabble but the computer would not let me). See how nice a Monday can be?? Newspapers and coffee are excellent.

Horrific weather reports all over the nation. Extreme heat, giant hail and floods.

So I worked at the studio a bit and got payroll and reviewed financials. We have a board meeting wed and that is when the reallocation of space will be discussed. It will likely be a long meeting so large mug of coffee required.

Not much else. I stopped at the hippie grocery for a pot pie. Life is good.

Okay, Liz, you inspired me, but now I feel completely overwhelmed by my list. I'm sure I will feel very accomplished once it's done.

Dammit! I have to add post office to the list...

This organ harvesting dilemma is not a new thing. I withdrew my organ donation status on my driver's license because there were some major, major issues throughout the US where treatment "may have been" withheld for the sake of organ donation. BTW, this was especially prevalent in Florida. Not okay by me. I'm all for it, just like you are, but not until AFTER all possible avenues of recovery have been exhausted.
