Last 10 Posts Topic: Paralyzed Man Misdiagnosed as in Coma for 23 Years Posted: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 12:20:00 PM I can't imagine being in that state for 23 years and not losing my mind entirely. Talk about a premise for a horror movie! Amazingly, this man's mother knew that he was not in a vegetative state, despite what doctors consistently told her, and she continued to fight for her son, taking him for numerous tests until she proved he was aware and conscious. Topic: Gruesome Massacre in Philippines Posted: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 12:57:42 PM I can't imagine being the husband left behind after that. There must be such a terrible feeling of guilt. What an unnecessary tragedy. Topic: Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849) Posted: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 12:54:47 PM I love The Secret Garden, but I must admit that I have never read Little Lord Fauntleroy. What is the premise of the latter? Topic: Picture association Posted: Monday, November 23, 2009 3:54:35 PM Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

In retalliation, the boys doused him in a flammable liquid and lit him on fire. He survived but was terribly burned. If doctors could use his own body's cells to generate new skin for him, I'm sure it would improve the quality of his life exponentially. Topic: First episode of Doctor Who Debuts on BBC (1963) Posted: Monday, November 23, 2009 2:44:06 PM My uncle used to use the Doctor Who character as the basis for the children's stories he would tell me and all my cousins. For my wedding, he and my aunt gave me a DVD of the actual, original show. Having never seen the Doctor Who that had been built up to this heroic, adventure-seeking being in my childhood imagination, I was super-excited to finally see what all the hype was about. Well, when I finally watched it, I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry or to fall asleep. I think I did a little of all three. What a disappointment! All I have to say is, kudos to the TV and film industry for improving the art of effects so considerably in less than half a century. And kudos to my uncle for turning lemons into lemonade! Topic: ruck Posted: Monday, November 23, 2009 2:30:02 PM Ahhhh, so a rucksack must be a sack meant to contain "a crowd especially of ordinary or undistinguished...things," or, as I like to think of it, a bag to hold all my cr*p. Topic: Army Corps of Engineers Liable for Katrina Damage Posted: Friday, November 20, 2009 10:27:03 AM Better late than never, I guess. Hopefully this ruling will help some of the victims rebuild their lives.
