Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Unfortunate. There's no cure either. I hope something works out for her. |

Dealing with dementia pt are the second worst part of my job, it is very sad to see patient decline over time. The only part of my job that is worse is transferring hospice patients |

If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed Meat is Murder. Sweet, delicious murder. | |

i have a grandmother with dementia. It really sucks to watch someone you love in the decline. There's nothing you can do and it tests the patience of the family. I have to re_introduce my fiance to her every time we meet. I grew up wanting to show off my future spouse to my family. I'm coping with the idea that grandma will never really know the woman i love. It's a fucking shame. I think they would have had a great family relationship. Br |

I was so sad to hear this news, especially knowing how bright of a basketball mind she is, and how good of an ambassador she has been for the women's game. Seriously, Geno Auriema could learn a thing or two about humility from Pat Summitt. I hope she continues to coach with good health for some time to come. <evil btown> Now that I've said my piece I have to share this too. This isn't really "mean" per se, just ironic. I was looking at her Twitter page today, and look at the most recent tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/patsummitt posted the wrong schedule, lol. </evil btown> sorry, i couldn't resist. |
