I invited a friend of my daughter's to spend the day with us as her mother had to work and her mother explained that she gets free day care and will be cut off the program if her daughter doesn't go. So it's free but if you lower thier costs 1 day then you can't have it? This goes along with what happened to me on Martin Luther King day.

Yoko, in my opinion, obviously loves (and certainly loved) John...as deeply as John loved her...AND if anything, she's protected John's interests for almost 27 years now. I'm certain that Yoko sold no song rights for commercials - that's just BS. However, I believe Michael Jackson did sell one of John & Paul's songs to Nike after he outbid Paul & Yoko for the Lennon/McCartney catalogue.

]]> Comment on Face Transplant Patient Isabelle Dinoire Tried to Kill Herself Before, Continues with Destructive Behaviour After New Lease on Life by David http://www.thatsironic.com/face-transplant-recipient-isabelle-dinoire-tried-to-kill-herself-before-continues-with-destructive-behaviour-after-new-bid-on-life/#comment-91 David Sat, 15 Apr 2006 04:34:42 +0000 http://www.thatsironic.com/face-transplant-recipient-isabelle-dinoire-tried-to-kill-herself-before-continues-with-destructive-behaviour-after-new-bid-on-life/#comment-91 Healthy, sane labradors do not have a history of mauling their owners; considering the dog wasn't reported otherwise, then it's probably safe to say the dog bit her for a reason. Now it's pretty obvious that Dinoire did try to kill herself (the hospital denies it because the opportunity to proceed on this groundbreaking proceedure was too good to pass up for any reason -- including just happening to "not notice" that the donor tried to hang herself). I can imagine that anyone who tries to wake up a person over-dosed on sleeping pills isn't going to calmly give them a friendly shake, rather they are probably going to be hysterical. The dog probably tried to wake up Dinoire in a normal dog-to-owner fashion but she obviously didn't wake up. A dog doesn't have hands so it can't wake a person by shaking them vigorously, so it probably frantically tried to wake her with what it has -- it's mouth. I can understand that this woman was severly depressed and everything, but letting her loyal dog be killed so that she can have a new face she doesn't deserve (picking up smoking when she is told it could cause her to reject the face should be a good indicator) is a blatant disregard for her dog's life. Now that's pretty low. But everyone's right, it's COMPLETELY acceptable because she was suicidal.
