Terry Schiavo Terry Schiavo Terry Schiavo Terry Schiavo Terry Schiavo

What? Nobody's placing bets yet on when she croaks? Even the pope got his own countdown thread.




My money's in for Wednesday.

I just don't know enough about the situation. I wish there was somewhere I could turn that would mention something about what is going on.

I need more information about Terry Schiavo!!!

First, I must admit I was downright fooled here. I was hoping the thread would be a non-sequitour (sp?) to the thread title, as some sort of clever way of getting attention to whatever topic Bruce really wanted to discuss. But he is clearly a psychic and therefore realised I would understand that, so he made it a topic about Terry Schiavo after all, just to pull me down from my high and smug horse!

Oh, and Tuesday, about noonish.

Nobody has mentioned her shoe size. Can we get somebody to say something about her shoe size. It may be important.



What color of ribbon should I put on my car. Have we run out of ribbon colors yet? How about a ribbon painted like an Easter egg? I haven't seen enough ribbons on the cars around here.

Ah, but you see I knew that you thought what I thought that you knew that I thought. So I changed the subject, then changed it back.

Inconcievable!!

blame the ribbons on Tony Orlando. Shoe size? Don't know, but she used to be a hot lookin' babe, so I'm sure the foot fetishers are keenly interested in her shoe size! LOL!

I agree with Ed. Easter Sunday at dawn, Florida time.

Good morning.

The news keeps showing people getting arrested trying to bring Terri S. water. What do they think they will do with the water once they get to her? From what I’ve read she isn’t able to swallow. Would they drown her?
And what’s with the people who send their children to get arrested trying to get her water? Do parents think this is cute?
Why doesn’t someone just have a pizza delivered to her? Would they arrest the delivery guy?
I think Easter Sunday would be the best day for her to pass on as well. It would be best for the media and that’s what this is all about anyway.
