Yank it like you're starting a lawn mower. This may sound funny and morbidly erie (esp. for one who is alone on a Saturday night) but I began to put into words thoughts I have been messing around with over the past few months as pertaining to a living will. Of course the whole Terry Schiavo mess last summer made me aware of the need to do so (not that I am expecting anything to happen to me, mind you...I believe I am in fine shape if I do say so myself) but it is such a drag to think about.

But I suppose it should be necessary and I don't want a muck to be occuring between my family when a time should come that it be needed. So I am in the process of putting into words what should happen to me if I ever become...well, you know.
My point of telling you though is that as I was writing it down using MS Word grammar check caught a sentence I wrote down that ended with the phrase "...I want my life to be terminated." However, grammar check underlined the last word of terminated and suggested that instead of using a period that I should use a question mark and end the sentence as I want my life to be terminated?

Is grammar check is trying to keep me in check? It made me almost laugh out loud, like Saturday Night Live is doing right now. Because Lord knows when you're writing your will you should be keeping a positive spin on the rest of life that's happening around you. So off I go back into the night to ponder my own mortality while at the same time holding onto reality by laughing at mildy funny topical humor. Pretty much the same thing I do every night, actually.
