Yes jon it is a real hard position to take when it is yourself or a loved one that we are talking about. But very easy for somebody on the outside looking in to say it.
I have had to make some of these decisions concerning my mom and dad in the past few years. In hindsight I know some were right but some were also very wrong.
I just think we are headed down the wrong road with healthcare. We complain about healthcare cost and the related insurance cost. Yet when we walk into a hospital we want a sit down place with soothing running water and a guy playing a piano in the back ground so we can take our minds off of the reason we are there. When the doctor walks into the room the only question we have is "can you fix it" No mention is ever given to "how much is this gona cost" or "what are my odds of your fix working"
And god forbid; when the inevitable does happen; anyone would consider burying you in a plain pine box.
I just think we put to much value on a life. We fight wars to where if one bystander gets killed it makes national news. We will give someone on death row bypass surgery. We will hock the farm to get the latest pill or surgery to extend our life by 5 years. Then when that love one does die we throw thousands of dollars at a funeral to show how much we loved them.
I guess I may have be born in the wrong century. I shoulda been born when we fought wars with nuclear bombs; hung criminals at dawn; knew dying was part of life and accepted it; and said a prayer over a loved one when we buried them in the back yard.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
