What's wrong with the policy is explained in the first paragraph of the article in JamminJim's post, with the comment that the policy "is common in assisted living facilities, but not always understood by residents. There is no care provided." That 'no care' extends to CPR in an emergency is a...

I am so sorry to hear that. I didn't know him, but the 'only 37 years old' part makes a horrible thing even worse, ya know? RIP, Driver. :(

Forgot to include the source: Family: We don't intend to sue Glenwood Gardens - BakersfieldCalifornian.com

A clarification: the woman who identified herself as a nurse [to the 911 dispatcher] lied - she was the resident services director. The facility provides no medical care, and the family was aware of that - but you have to wonder, are all families aware? And is this common in California, or...

A marshalling yard is where trucks are directed to wait prior to unloading at large convention centers, to avoid the snarl of too many arriving at the same time.

Banning the letter L is a good start, but shouldn't we make absolutely certain that no one can be scared by the 'universal figure for a gun', too? Amputate all thumbs & index fingers - it's the only way to prove we're really civilized. :rolleyes:

An interesting update: Refusal to Give CPR to Elderly Woman Probed by Police - ABC News "Independent living facilities do not provide medical services, as they are not licensed to do so." Apparently, their employees are not morally qualified to react as human beings, either.

In post 109, E1 defender JGibbs says "This company has never given is [sic] reason to believe that what they do is for the better" Typo? Or Freudian slip? I'm sure he'd say it was a typo, but I don't believe it, myself.

You're gonna get really hungry.....:eek: Water's pretty heavy - wouldn't a purification thingamajig, like a SweetWater rig, or tablets, be smarter?

I was just being a goof, but I started a 'doomsday' thread so you can show off, ok? Go for it. :D

A doomsday scenario: you're caught away from home, and there's no more government, or law & order, and you need to survive on foot, with only what you can carry - what would you include in your pack? :confused:

The "big deal" is that their rights do not include requiring [by detaining] a reply, but few citizens appear to know that. We don't need to exercise our rights at every opportunity, but if we don't even know what they are, what good are they? Further, if the officials aren't aware of our...
