DUmmy Bennyboy, in the third month of his suicidal diabetic hunger strike, still apparently survives. By now, he must be covered with what he calls "squeamish carcinoma" which can only be cured by free access to an unlimited amount of marijuana.
Countless times he's posted about his hatred for his parents, who allow him to live in their home consuming vast quantities of their food, to the point where he's now on the sudden-death side of 400 pounds. He's also posted repeatedly about how much he resents having to help care for his elderly parents while living rent-free.
It appears now that dear old Mom is at DUmmy Bennyboy's sweet mercy. Looks like he won't have to use the pillow after all:

Today, I was my very own death panel (my Mom)
Decision day. She took out her breathing tube last night. Do we put it back in? She is incoherent and sticking to the bed, she hs so much fluid. So do we insure a few more days or do we make her last days comfortable? I was going to have to make the decision to how much we were going to do in regards to the ventilator but she made that decision herself.
In some ways, I think people no matter what face some kind of death panel. family or otherwise. I think they can keep almost anyone alive but is that all there is?
Very very hard to deal with right now. All alone. my Borther is no help other than give my the weekly attaboy......

18. I had to do it for both my parents.
DUmmy Warpy's parents were in a particularly bad situation, given their daughter's predilection for stealing painkillers.
Someone suspects what really happened:

I would probably want to have the breathing tube put back in, just in case she accidentally pulled it out.

65. take her hand
and tell her everything that is on your heart right now, bennyboy.
That would be awful. He's told us a dozen times how he hates the old lady and resents caring for her.
