Welcome to America in winter.. the dead of winter.. where the average temperature for the entire United States is current 14 degrees….
….but.. It’s in Africa.
The story is very difficult to read.
On Saturday night, I posted a link to a story regarding children being beheaded in the CAR on my personal Facebook page with the subtext: “While you were watching football.” I got one comment and that was it. Zippo. We need to stop ignoring Africa.. Especially when tiny innocent children are being hunted like dogs ..
Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl on a ventilator who was declared brain dead by doctors in California after tonsil surgery, was released from a hospital.
This is just an emotional draining and horrific story. I cannot even imagine what he family of this beautiful girl, Jahi, is experiencing. There are so many things I think about when I read updates on this matter.
One thing I don’t like seeing over and over again: the media uses “brain dead” to describe Jahi in almost every headline. I understand why they would.. but can’t we give this 13-year-old girl more respect? Can’t we describe her as “loving Jahi” or “beautiful Jahi”? Oh, better yet, just “Jahi McMath!” Maybe that would work!
While I am not an expert on the brain, I am not quite sure if anyone is.. We are going into uncharted territories as we explore more about the brain, its functions, and what it does every single day when we wake up.I listened to a pretty interesting Coast to Coast AM show Saturday night about the science of reviving people in comas.
We can say brain dead until we are blue in the face.. sometimes miracles happen.
I think we know that Jahi’s family is praying for a miracle.. As should we all..
Pray to whatever or whoever you believe in.. if no beliefs are within you, simply send some good will and feelings their way. There’s a butterfly effect of good that can result..
The bastard makes pan frying a steak look so easy. How I loathe your skills, Gordon Ramsay..
A word of caution: Always check your photos before posting. And maybe …well… Don’t take photos of people in locker rooms.
Bad form…
This is horrific and brutal.. And not being reported by any major American news organization ..
Scientists are searching Twitter feeds from the past to see if there is any mention of news before it actually happened. So far, they have come up with zilch.
Where’s John Titor when you need him… And would Titor tweet?
It was a big to-do. Even Dennis Rodman was called in for his covert mission back to the nation.
But now we find out some more horrid details.. apparently Un’s Unc was eaten alive by 120 dogs for his ‘treachery’..this according to Chinese media tonight.
This is the first time public accounts have been rendered a to how Un did his deed…
What a way to start a new year..
Now this is amazing and beyond cool: The World Cup will begin with a mind controlled exoskeleton kick! Wearing a state-of-the-art exoskeleton, a paralyzed teenager will make the ceremonial first kick at the World Cup in Brazil this summer.
Good Friday night, t’all..
First the ship carrying global warming scientists got stuck in thick sea ice.. And now this.
Oh the irony. It may have escaped a few ..
