Sorry Man! We woulda given you some loot... but all of us thought that you must have pre-planned it if you felt the need to bring an outfit like that. If you were dressed normal with the sign I woulda given you some loot no doubt. I felt like an ass reading that you indeed had your shit stolen. Sorry again! Glad everyone else's kindness made up for lack of my trust and that you turned out okay.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only reason he actually brought that thing is to wear it for Girl Talk. Not to get money from people, haha. I think the only reason he actually wore that when he was holding the sign up was so more people would notice him.

^Ours (TN) just have a place to sign it on the back. (But it's really important to tell your family members that you want to donate your organs because I'm pretty sure that, even if you've signed the thing, they will listen to your family members if they say not to donate them.)
Please don't bury me Down in that cold cold ground No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they don't mind the size Give my stomach to Milwaukee If they run out of beer Put my socks in a cedar box Just get "em" out of here Venus de Milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose Sell my heart to the junkman And give my love to Rose
Repeat Chorus
Give my feet to the footloose Careless, fancy free Give my knees to the needy Don't pull that stuff on me Hand me down my walking cane It's a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south And kiss my ass goodbye
Repeat Chorus

You and Phil Lesh would most certainly agree on that note!
When my dad took me to get my license back when I was 16 and they asked if I wanted to be an organ donor I hesitated for a minute cause I wasn't expecting the question and hadn't given it any thought beforehand. Before I had a chance to answer, my dad told the lady I wasn't interested and had some crazy gripe about it for some reason I can't remember now. But my dad's a rather selfish person in pretty much every aspect of his life, and it probably had something to do with nobody else being good enough to use his organs On my way home that day, I mentioned how I think maybe I wanted to be an organ donor cause it just made sense and his response was "No. You don't want to, and no it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You'll understand one day when you're older and wiser"
Here I am, older and wiser, and it still makes complete sense. It's the very first thing on my agenda when I go to renew my license later this year. But my mom sure does know that in the meantime that even though it's not marked on my license at this point that I have absolutely no problem with sharing my organs if I'm dead.
But I do feel sorry for the poor soul who may be in need of a liver and gets mine. They wouldn't last a minute
I have always advocated a system in which if you were not a organ donor, then you don't get any organs if you are sick. I bet a lot of folks would sign up then.
The reason I hear most against being an organ donor is that if you are rushed to the ER and they see that you're an organ donor, they won't try as hard to keep you alive so that they may harvest your organs instead. The Hippocratic Oath tells me this is wrong though.

^^You know, now that you say that that is the reason my dad gave me when I was getting my license. He said if I was ever in a car accident and the rescuers saw that I was an organ donor they would pay more attention to making sure my organs were retrievable more so than to ensure that I lived.

In Mississippi, even if you designate that you want to be an organ donor, if your next of kin does not know or will not agree or you do not an advanced directive that specifies it - they will not do it.

my wallet got stolen on wednesday night at the wal-mart...someone used my debit card to buy 400 dollars worth of stuff (probably beer) and i just got the money back like a year ago.
also, organ donation rates are terrible in countries where you have to check a box in order to donate. in countries where you check a box in order to NOT donate, they have like 90% of the population as donors.

I'm an organ donor for sure. I didn't know that if your family didn't know you were one, then they can't donate your organs. I just figured the organ donor symbol on my driver's license was good enough.
The only body part I refuse to donate is my eyes. I don't know, maybe I'm just being selfish, but in my mind, the eyes are the most direct gateway to the soul, and it just feels weird to imagine someone else using my eyes after I'm gone. It's hard to explain.

It's very wrong because they have to keep you alive in order to harvest your organs. So they have to try just as hard. It takes hours to harvest all of your organs. My friend just went through this with his mom who passed away. She helped so many people. Although, my gf went up to view the body (which I never do) and said that she could tell her the corpse's eyes were gone. Kinda freaky.

They can have everything I have got, burn the rest, and spread the ashes at the THAT tent. That is my directive. I have it in writing. And my family knows it as well.

Let me tell you a story.
And I've been an organ donor long before this, but this just further reinforces why I do it:
One of my good friends (and my boyfriend's fraternity brother) has a congenital kidney disease that destroyed the kidneys he was born with. When he was younger, he had a kidney transplant. He did just fine, up until a few weeks ago - the disease came back because the doctors messed up his medications. It destroyed his donated kidney. He is now back on dialysis and needs another kidney transplant. He's 22. He doesn't know if he'll get a kidney.
You save lives when you donate organs. As far as I'm concerned - they can carve me up and take everything. I mean, I'm not going to need it anyway!

This is true anywhere, really. Advance directives are handy things. Also- I'm in TN and there's a heart by my photograph because I'm an organ donor. I'd put a picture up, but I don't have a scanner and doubt my cheap ass POS phone will capture it.

Best of luck to him, sad to hear, so young to be having such horrible problems...

My coworker's wife gave him a kidney (and later he got a pancreas from organ donation - he has juvenile diabetes, bad stuff). Does your friend not have family to donate one? Very sad to be so sick.
