That's not terrible.

Just found out on facebook my brother got engaged over the weekend. Little strange since I live with him.

so he told fb but not you?

what a world

Seriously? That's pretty fucked up.

My cousin got married on Valentine's Day last year and his oldest sister found out via Facebook because the bride's sister posted about it. More than a week went by before he talked to his parents about it. Then they had some sham wedding celebration in November later that year.

People are screwed up.

Looking at you Housh.

People shouldn't be allowed to complain about their professor's 'bitchiness' when their excuse for not doing the assigned paper is 'i wasn't in the right mindset yesterday to write it.'

YOU HAD TWO WEEKS TO WRITE IT!

OH SHIT PACINO ON THE OFFENSIVE

I'm just tired of complaints like above from terrible students, somehow inplicity blaming their teacher or others for their F.

Don't complain about having to enroll an extra year if you pull shit like this. IT'S YOUR FAULT. Sometimes there is such a thing as taking responsibility.

Virgin is an odd name for a company

"After his death, [Chris] Henry's mother made the decision to donate his organs for transplant. Henry's corneas, lungs, kidneys, heart, liver, and pancreas were transplanted, saving the lives of four people."

Reading about NFL concussions. Chris Henry, formerly of the Bengals, fell off a truck. After he died they said his brains were scrambled. I thought that organ donor part was pretty cool.

I thought it was illegal for someone else to make the decision to donate, that if you didn't specify you were an organ donor while alive, those guts are going to the trash or the ground or the furnace or whatever

cant say but how odd is the concept of a cornea transplant? I've never heard of such a thing.

I think the reason that we have the "organ donor" designation on our licenses is for speed. Depending on when someone dies, saving the organs is often a matter of minutes. It may be too difficult to track down the family and make a decision. Additionally, under the strain of an unexpected death, I'll bet many families just say no to donation.

Lethal or trent can confirm, but spouses or parents (if unmarried) generally have the say over what to do with your body once dead, given that you havent specified any advanced directives.

Does this have anything to do with tax? No? I'm the wrong guy to ask. I don't know any more about this than any of you guys. My only advantage would be I probably know where to look for the info or I may know someone who works in the area who might know.

There was a bill introduced in 2009 that would allow a $5,000 non-refundable tax credit for organ donors (non-refundable means that you don't get money back if you don't owe taxes). It never left committee.

What if you only wanted to donate certain organs?I don't know how i feel about giving up my corneas.

Thought you might remember something from law school about advanced directives and dying.
