thank you, mr. autopsy man.
Schiavo autopsy shows massive brain damage
Her brain weighed half as much as they "expected." She was blind. Saying she was in a persistent vegetative state was an understatement. She was MESSED up.
Finally, hopefully, rest in peace Terry Schiavo.

more...quarters...
you ever get so broke that you pay for everything in change, and you finally get to the point where you run out of quarters and move down to dimes?
when we got back from the honeymoon I found out my bank account was $700 overdrawn. The day of the accident I had checked and saw that I had $1200 available. About $600 hadn't gone through to the bank yet. Then we had the rental car, hotels, food, etc. now if I had KNOWN i had run out of money, I would have had Mrs. Z pay for those things, she had money in her account at the time. After $400+ in overdraft charges, I'm in a pretty deep hole. We've been living off Mrs. Z's paycheck for the last two weeks. I invoiced today so i'll have money coming in, but bills and rent are gonna kill us.
i hate banks. i hate paying for things. why can't people just give me stuff? i'm pretty charming, y'know. or I could barter. i'll learn to make shoes. what movie was that from? dammit.
quarters have now become a ridiculously valuable commodity. at this point they're like $50 bills.
you start to have thoughts about money, and they all turn to food..."i can't believe I paid $12 for a bowl of pasta and a rice krispy treat..." "i KNEW i already had cheese at home..." "what can I make out of ramen and canned corn?"
When you go to the store you buy "broke food" milk, bread, eggs, cheap processed lunchmeat, beans, pb&j, and ramen. you spring for cheese as a special treat. unfortunately I'm such a snob I can't eat any tuna other than albacore in water, and that's just too expensive for what you get these days.
We don't have a fridge at work so bringing in lunch food is kind of a gamble as far as keeping it from going bad. Lunches consist of jack n' the back tacos and chicken sandwiches, 99cent tuesday mcnuggets, or if I want to spend the extra 60 cents to drive to Jimbos I can get a small salad from the salad bar and a small bowl of soup for around $3.50.
I'm just whining. We're gonna be fine, I just wanna go buy something. That always makes me feel better.
