RonBurgundy&Gold Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I read this in the journal yesterday. She had the nerve to be pissed off too. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 This sort of thing is the reason I pray that I die at a respectable age while I can still take care of myself. Before I get to the point where I would need that sort of assistance. Especially since I won't have a spouse or any children to take care of me. Of course, I don't know how the funeral home is going to deal with the "burial" requirements in my will, but that's THEIR problem, not mine.

Especially since I won't have a spouse or any children to take care of me. this exact same situation is happenning with my grandpa.. He basically needs assistance to do everything from standing up to go to the bathroom and everything.. Hes just living to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanos Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 This article was pathetic.This b**** left her mom in a hot car with no air to get her nails done.I'm through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNSTONE Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 It takes "more than an hour" to do nails? This story sounds like a "knee jerk" reaction to me. I remember my great great grandmother. She was 99 and had more fire in her than my great grandparents. She probably turned her own oxygen off, and decided to sit in the car. I mean, who wants to sniff fingernail polish. I don't know any of the facts, but I'm going to guess this gets tossed out of court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNSTONE Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The 97 degree temp. was inside the car, not outside. It hasn't even reached that temp here in florida yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's getting fakes w/bling, it's 2 + hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. This is just as despicable as leaving a young child in those circumstances. It sounds as though this person was just as helpless as an infant, and maybe even more infirm.

You don't know any of the facts because you clearly didn't read the article. Fox's daughter McCarty, of Pious Ridge Road, was charged with one misdemeanor count of abuse or neglect of an incapacitated adult in connection to the April 29 incident at the Martinsburg Mall. Neely spoke to two of the medics, who said a witness called 911 because a 96-year-old woman was crying out for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
