I am going to state an unpopular opinion.

If I ever go into a vegetative state while married, and it takes them over ten years to get around to pulling my plug, I really hope my husband hasn't been sitting next to my bed all that time. In fact, I'd really appreciate it if he'd come to the hospital for the unplugging straight from impregnating a stripper.

In other words, I really don't give a damn who my husband sleeps with after I'm pretty much deceased in my own eyes. :)

EDIT: Of course, that's an addendum to my rules of marriage that if Angelina Jolie (or whichever hot actress he likes) shows up at my front door and wants to run off with my husband, I completely understand and have no argument. That comes with the Johnny Depp loophole on my end, too. ;)

I just saw on the news that out of that settlement, Michael only has 40,000 dollars left and it's in a trust fund. They also said that he spent the money on little things like cutting Terri's hair and stuff like that.

Hmm. I'd want more details on the "stuff like that" -- was the impression being given that he was frittering it away on petty useless shit or that he was spending it to tend to his wife, and was this report valid or spin? And what I'd heard was that court costs ate up the majority of the settlement. (Can't recall if I heard what exactly was paying for the hospice care -- Medicare/Medicaid/insurance/settlement money?)
