Dude, go rent the Christopher Reeve series of movies. Well worth it. A little dated and campy at times, yes, but true to the original concept of Superman.

Mr. Phillips,

Our priest (we're Anglican, formerly Episcopalian) is fond of saying that no one lays on his/her deathbed and says, "I wish I had spent more time at work." Life, especially the Christian life, is about two things: loving God and loving others, as evidenced both by the Ten Commandments and Jesus' words in the Gospels. As one of my favorite Sarah Groves songs says:

Everything is important, and everything is not.
At the end of your life your relationships are all you've got.

Thank you for imparting such wisdom to your children and sharing that with us here on Big Hollywood.

By the way, the husband and I got a real charge out of your appearances on Castle. It quickly became one of our favorite shows when it debuted (we've loved Nathan Fillion since the early days of the short-lived Firefly), and we sincerely hope the Mayor continues to be a recurring role.

God bless you and yours!

At the age of 41, I can hardly be called "cute" but I'll take it as a compliment. As a survivor of rape myself, I think I can speak with some authority as to who is a victim and who is not. Monica is not and was not a victim. That is all.

They are a great team. Go to PajamasTV. They have several vids that they've done together.

As I woman, I have to disagree. Monical was an adult at the time "things" happened, unless she felt she was under some sort of duress she made the choice to partcipate or not, and she can and should be held accountable for making a bad choice and being complicit in having sex with a married man. Period. She was not raped, nor was she under any sort of duress, or Clinton would have been charged with something. Newsflash: women think for themselves and some of us/them use and manipulate men (just as some men do to women) to get what we want, even if what we want isn't what we need or should have. No slack for Monica.

Shepherd? You?? You couldn't find your way out of a paper bag, and you think you should be leading others?? You owe me a monitor and a keyboard. Spewed my Coke all over it laughing at your comment here.

Phillips/Rachel 2012!!! Who's in?

All in favor of SteelWheel's motion? Signify by saying "Aye!"

Aye!

(Part 2) As other have pointed out, at some point a person's body simply cannot process either the food or water being forced into it: the organs and systems start shutting down and it actually make the dying person sicker, not better, to force-feed them. I've been around this for 20 years. I do know whereof I speak. So glad you have a living will. Now your family won't have to go through what Terry Schiavo's family did. And THAT is the most important take-away of all from this particular sideline.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, I just can't get over the hysteria of someone else trying to educate me about the difference between a respirator and a feeding tube. That's just bloody rich! Thanks for the best laugh I've had in a LONG time. Now, as to your comments: if you take a respirator away form a person who can no longer breathe, they die. If you take a feeding tube away from a person who no longer has the ability to swallow food and/or liquids, they die. As you say, one way is immediate, one way is not so immediate. I'll state this as simply as I can in what I hope are layman's terms: the pump that moves the "nutrition and hydration" from the bag hanging on the pole through the tube that is inserted either through the nose or directly into the stomach IS A MACHINE. It's plugged into the wall. It has parts and pieces that move and do mechanical work: ergo, a machine. It's just a different kind of machine than a respirator. (con't)...
