Mom of Dead 'Lion King' Child Star Continues to Raise Awareness (BV Black Spin)

Apr 23rd 2011 3:54AM
That poor girl; it's good to hear her mother is using the loss so positively... I doubt I could manage to do the same.

"The last thing that you think about sometimes when you have a sick child is keeping up with the bills."

Yes and no... The parents focus on their kid's life when an immediate crisis strikes, but the rest of the time (which can be *years*), they also have to care about losing their home, having utilities shut off, etc.

I learned that much being a longtime volunteer for a local fundraiser for families with catastrophically ill kids. It sickens me that even a shadow of what was affordable with one middle-class income & insurance when I was a frequent pediatric surgical patient is now hard (at best) for anyone that isn't outright rich with the best insurance... A parent shouldn't have to choose between their child's chemo/surgery and paying the electrical bill.

Sep 6th 2009 2:44AM If it came with a new computer all ready to run the latest bloatware, then maybe I'd consider it -- hey, I had some good times with Windows when I had a top-of-the-line new system, I'm no hater... Until then, I think I'll stick with the OS that keeps being mistaken for Windows 7 yet runs comfortably (complete with fancy eyecandy) on my five-year-old laptop.

Aug 28th 2009 3:12AM It'd be cool if you'd post these to a category for Flash/browser-based games, rather than dumping them simultaneously in all three major OS groups at once. After all, this is called *Download* Squad, isn't it? That kind of implies we're looking at things intended to be run from a drive rather than online... ;-)
