Walk Me to Midnight (Book) - 2/6/2008 10:15:36 AM
I usually never read crime or mystery genre fiction, but I do have very strong associations with the medical ethics that underlie voluntary euthenasia, and am a medical professional as well (cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular). It's an interesting subject for a fictional work and therefore I may just read it. Interesting what one runs across on Author's Den, nes c'est pas?

Good imagery in the relation of plants to humans and anorexia to slow death. The way you describe the systematic approach to eating is done very well. The one thing I don't understand is her comparisons between her wait and how attractive she is. I realize that anorexic people wrongly view weight loss as attractive (it is even more mistaken in a post-J. Lo, post-Beyonce world), but I thought that the thing that kept them going was the fact that they would never reach their ideal, which your character has. It's just a though, and I might be wrong. Otherwise, very good piece.

Beautifully written and so truthful. I have a niece who battles with bulemia and OCD. Many people don't realize the pain of this very real disease and how it controls them and the secrets they keep from others.

"...And by the way, in my next life I want to come back as your poodle."
This was the sentence that hit me like a brick wall...and it only got better from there!
"You have a way with words", so they say...but I think... knowing too, that I finally made a revelation of my own reading this...therefore, I say,
"You have a way with living words!"
. . . your comparisons, your emotions...you unconditional love, your husbands worry, the policemans job...the secrets...no stones unturned...its all there!
Everyone should have an Uncle Bud...I had an "Uncle Al", not related by blood, but still everyones UNCLE AL!
At 11 years old, Al refused to ever leave his room again!
School was too difficult for him, and in order to avoid ridicule and being teased for his hand me downs and gross obesity, he stayed in his room... until he was 42!
Neither parent stepped in to get him help, and back then, schools didn't get involved with truency.
At the age of 42, when I met him...his story intrigued me...He read every book ever written, twice! He had the mind of a seer! I can't even begin to explain!
One day, I taught him to work a camera and convinced him somehow, to go out and about, we took him on drives...we showed this grown man the world for the first time in his life, and I could feel that little eleven year old child in him, in his astonishments, his questions, his soul...Wow!...I could go on and on...
Your an inspiration, Jane! Always WRITE! You are Blessed to have such a man in your lives!
Love and Peace~

Beautiful story of love and acceptance of those who are less than prefect; dogs know no hatred. A lesson we all can learn from. I know a lady here in Texas who has this same thing; yet I don't see the bumps and tumors, even though they're there for everyone to see: instead I see a lovely lady who loves her Lord.
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

30 Reasons to Vote NO on Proposition I-1000 (Article) - 10/9/2008 6:53:49 PM
In 2004, I had two very serious operations. I was in critical care for
34 days, 26 days in critical care. I received excellent medical care at
U.W. Medical center. However, by the 30 day, I was deeply depressed. I
told my daughter, I was praying that I would die, and told a nurse that I wanted to go home and die. After I got out of the hospital, I was happy I wasn't living in Oregon where they may have let me die.
I am voting NQ on proposition 1000.

Love the idea, but don't agree with the 10 not-to-do things. That doesn't matter; it's the idea that counts.

Hilarious and I completely agree, Jane. We are all much too list-oriented, and a lot of that comes from "The Machine" of PR and publishing, trying to tell us what matters, including the reading public! Smart, funny article. more more more! Eileen
