LOL - that is funny

My mom was telling me that you guys have a court case involving a braindead child being kept alive by machines.
The parents want him moved to the state to try out an untested drug that may or may not give him some function in his lungs but the courts are refusing to allow it. That's when i learned that un like here in the states you guys let the courts have the last word in cases like this. Here in the states the parents get the last word in regards to their children.

Yeah. What a revolting women.

Most news in the UK is Brexit related and all the politics surrounding that. On the one hand it's all doom and gloom, with people ranting and raving that we should remain in the undemocratic EU and that the world will end soon; on the other hand people are pushing the nails in with their fingers as the EU tries to work out what to do without the UK cash udders. While I wanted to remain, the more of the EU's behaviour I see, and the more I learn of the pernicious encroachment by the EU into laws and society, the more I am glad we are leaving. But hey, that's another story!

Oh, and in local newspaper (yes, it's not all MSN) some nice news after the recent palaver over fostering.

The Medical Kidnapping of Cassandra C: Exclusive TTAC Interview (video)

Imagine your 17-year-old daughter gets the diagnosis of cancer. You both do research on treatment options and see that chemotherapy is toxic with potentially long standing, irreversible consequences: damage to the reproductive organs, bladder, heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, and more. You and your daughter decide not to do it and choose to take a different route; one that is safer and is non-toxic.

Much to your shock, while you are out shopping, your daughter is home and the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) shows up at your door (with 12 police cars no less, to kidnap your daughter and force her to do chemotherapy against her will and your wishes).


Cassandra was back in the hospital and scheduled to begin forced chemotherapy. But even then she wasn’t ready to submit to this gunpoint medicine. It took no less than 12 workers to strap her wrists and ankles to the bed and control her while the nurse stuck a needle in her neck to sedate her. She woke up in the recovery room with a port in her chest. Had this horrific abuse taken place on the streets of Hartford, the assailants would have been guilty of assault and battery. However, since these human rights violations occurred in the hospital, the assailants will never be charged with the crimes that they committed against Cassandra. In her own words, “At that point, I didn’t feel like a human anymore… I feel like I’ve been violated… My ankles and wrists were bruised when I woke up.”

Over the course of the next 5 months, Cassandra received round after round of toxic chemotherapy; always letting the violators know that “I don’t consent to this treatment” before they forced deadly poison into her body. She was told that if she fought them, that they would starve her. Eventually she quit fighting. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she couldn’t leave her room (there was an armed guard at the door), she couldn’t make phone calls, and she couldn’t have guests in her room unless they were “approved.“ Cassandra wasn’t even allowed to go outside! In her own words, “even prisoners are allowed to go outside for an hour a day. I didn’t even get that.”

I must admit at first I didn't find it that amusing.

Then I thought about my wife's handbag, how small it is and how much crap (pardon the pun and not literally!) she stuffs in there. The mental image of her emptying her bag to find her car keys nearly ended me.

Purse - tick
Lipstick - tick
Phone - tick
Poop wrapped in loo roll - tick

I do that in my garden though not that elaborate. Just lolly pops and balloons from the box. I have a heart shaped one too. One I'm just starting will be Saturn when I'm finished.

You like the way I kept this cryptic to go with your headline?

a reply to: Sillyolme

Poo~Pourri has a British Spokesperson, so your post is right on topic.


I didn't think it was a real product, you can actually buy that stuff?

Yes apologies for that I was making the same assumptions that I was tutting at on another thread somewhere else on here.

a reply to: DrBobH

See. I hear ya. I just put myself in the story and it got hilarious.
This from the woman who upon having her then boyfriend to her apartment for a romantic candle lit dinner made wine come out of her nose all over the linen when he told her a funny story.
It's true. He's still with me even after that and that was in 1979.

Sadly the boy has passed away.

a reply to: stosh64

There's something wrong with an English woman calling crap, or poo "poop". The word "poop" is American.

a reply to: GeneralMayhem

Oh I watch that too. Last season of course. It's on Netflix.

a reply to: stosh64

Lol. It's ever so Un proper to leave odors behind . Tee hee.

a reply to: Sillyolme

Yes big upset with bake off as it was sold to a rival channel and the British institution that is Mary Berry was not moving with the show. Now I have to admit to watching it and the new bake off aint half bad.

a reply to: macpdm

I'm a minority here. Always have been. No worries. Assuming a male is a safe bet.

a reply to: Sillyolme

You go sister !

Good grief did I really just write that.
