OT: Living Will Form |
Living Will Form
I, _______________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to
be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.
Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of
pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their
lives depended on it; nor in the hands of lawyers/doctors who are
interested simply in running up the bills.
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at
least one of the following:
Beer, Margarita, Scotch and soda, Martini, Vodka and OJ, steak,
Shrimp or crab legs, A Lottery Ticket, bowl of ice cream, Waffles,
chocolate, or $ex......
it should be presumed that I won't ever get better.
When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my
appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel
in the tubes, and call it a day.
At this point, it is time to call a New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band
to come do their thing at my funeral and ask all of my friends
to raise their glasses to toast the good times we have had.
Signature: ____________
Date: ________
I also hear that in Ireland they have a Nursing Home with a Pub.
The patients are happier and they have a lot more visitors. If I
need a nursing home, send me there!
From a friend of mine...
Pang - who wants to be cremated and have the ashes scattered in the
Jemez Caldera!

That's great! I like the idea of a pub. When I go, I just might as well
go drunk out of my mind. :-).

I always wanted to be buried at sea. I would prefer whole body, but i
understand that getting permission is difficult and it's expensive. So
as a second choice, they can scatter my ashes out there too. Since many
think that life began in the sea, I'll be 'going home'.

I didn't realize that New Mexico had so many volcanos.
Seven visible from my house, one only 2 miles or less.... including Mt.
Taylor. The Rio Grande Valley which cuts roughly from north to south
through the state is a rift valley. The original surface is 5 miles
deep now. The area began rifting about 30 million years ago... hence
the volcanic activity. A "bulge" is growing some 20 miles south of my
house.... and it is part of the "plumbing" which also feeds the Jemez
Caldera, dormant - not dead. Hot springs south and north of where I
am.
The moiuntains in my back yard were formed when the land begasn to
split apart. The release of tension caused the land to the east of me
to rise; I love the difference. The west side (facing me) is rough
and eroded; the east side is much smoother and visibly tilts.
eastern smooth side / western "rough" side. The western side displays
clearly the layers of limestone from the inland sea ( ribboning the top
of the mountains) and then basaltic layers.

That's usually a sign something's going on. I read about the rift in one
of your post. I have to start reading up on more of this stuff.

Wow!. California, of course is geologically active. One just has to look
at the terrain. In some places where the roads cut through the hills and
ridges one can see all of the geological layers and the effect of
uplift.
I need to learn more about this.

house.... and it is part of the "plumbing" which also feeds the Jemez
Caldera, dormant - not dead. Hot springs south and north of where I
am.
That's usually a sign something's going on. I read about the rift in one
of your post. I have to start reading up on more of this stuff.
As I am living atop and among it, I am fascinated!!! The Jemez caldera
is one of the most studied and investigated volcanos in the US. Lots
of information on it.
The moiuntains in my back yard were formed when the land begasn to
split apart. The release of tension caused the land to the east of me
to rise; I love the difference. The west side (facing me) is rough
and eroded; the east side is much smoother and visibly tilts.
eastern smooth side / western "rough" side. The western side displays
clearly the layers of limestone from the inland sea ( ribboning the top
of the mountains) and then basaltic layers.
Wow!. California, of course is geologically active. One just has to look
at the terrain. In some places where the roads cut through the hills and
ridges one can see all of the geological layers and the effect of
uplift.
I need to learn more about this.
If I can learn (a little bit) about bosons..... lol

The patients are happier and they have a lot more visitors. If I
need a nursing home, send me there!

That's great! I like the idea of a pub. When I go, I just might as
well
go drunk out of my mind. :-).
Pang - who wants to be cremated and have the ashes scattered in the
Jemez Caldera!
I always wanted to be buried at sea. I would prefer whole body, but i
understand that getting permission is difficult and it's expensive.
So
as a second choice, they can scatter my ashes out there too. Since
many
think that life began in the sea, I'll be 'going home'.
Since "Jaws", I don't have that much affection for the sea.... I'll be
happy for my ashes to join in the fireworks of the next great
explosion
of the Jemez.
Or maybe even better, I'd like to have my body shot out into space, but
I think the price would be a little too steep.
*nod* - cost is a factor - I have friends to whom I would rather leave
the money .... especially those with whom I have made arrangements to
take my living animal companions.
I'll donate a good portion of whatever I have left to my favorite
organizations and the rest for my nephews and nieces.
Pang - who has all the ashes of her past animals companions and plans
for those ashes to be with hers.... awaiting Redondo (a resurgent

Going out with a kaboom? :-)
That's the idea! Mt. Taylor is more explosive - but the Jemez is still
my favorite.
I didn't realize that New Mexico had so many volcanos.
Seven visible from my house, one only 2 miles or less.... including Mt.
Taylor. The Rio Grande Valley which cuts roughly from north to south
through the state is a rift valley. The original surface is 5 miles
deep now. The area began rifting about 30 million years ago... hence
the volcanic activity. A "bulge" is growing some 20 miles south of my

clearly the layers of limestone from the inland sea ( ribboning the top
of the mountains) and then basaltic layers.
Pang - who took geology courses just to learn about her new home and
who asked LOTS of questions about her local area. :-)
Are you able to tap geothermal power from it?
Me personally, no. :-)
I am not aware of any attempts to tap geothermal power - but then who
knows what Los Alamos is doing?
Pang - who does know that solar power is more common here - many homes
have solar panels on their roofs or in the yard. The water still in my
back yard is solar powered.

Any idea when it last erupted? I didn't see anything at the sites.
Formed near the intersection of the Rio Grande Rift and the Jemez
Lineament the Valles Caldera is classified as an active caldera, though
the last eruption was 50 to 60 thousand years ago. The Jemez Mountain
range is the product of millions of years of volcanic activity,
including two separate violent eruptions that collapsed the volcano
initially forming the Toledo Caldera and later the Valles Caldera.
Nearly 15 miles across, the Caldera is dotted with domes along a ring
fracture zone and is dominated by Redondo Peak (11,254 feet). After the
formation of the Valles Caldera, precipitation filled this natural bowl
creating a lake that is believed to have been several hundred feet
deep. Continued volcanic activity, however, caused a breach in the rim,
draining the lake within 100,000 years of the caldera-forming
eruptions.

A bathhouse has been in operation for years in the Jemez village -
further up the volcano are hot springs accessed by hiking. One is
reserved informally for nude bathing.... so I hear. :-)
Use this link for some pics - including one of my big favorites - the
soda dam.
