Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

I sincerely hope that when my time comes, I will be treated with the same compassion as a treasured pet. Less grief for all concerned.

 

I don't want to be kept alive, strapped to a machine that's simply keeping you breathing, for months/years.

Since when have two doctors agreed on a diagnosis or treatment.

 

Mushrooms in the fridge? Paper bag in dark cool cupboard is their preference.

 

I think in terminal cases they probably can.
If they can't then one of them has no right being a doctor.

 

I think mushrooms should be left alone, to me it's one of those things that someone must have been totally starving to even think that piece of white rubber might be edible in the first place.
