I am. I’ve been an organ donor since as long as I can remember. My late BIL was a recipient of a liver many years ago. He lived another 7 years, but it made a great difference. A close friend of mine got a kidney from a coworker. I cannot see a more honorable thing to do to help someone if I pass.

I voted no because I have a medical condition that would not allow me to be a donor.

I think I am...not sure. But I had cancer (after originally signing up years before), does that cancel me out?

Not necessarily. Depends on the cancer and it’s affect on your organs.

Me too.

That commercial is hilarious.

I think I went to college with Coleman Sweeney.

Funny, and yes have been since the 80’s when I got my driver license. First few years I was on look out for roaming teams of hmo organ harvesters, but that never materialized.

I don't think anyone would want my liver.

But I have donated my golf swing to any 25 handicapper who wants to improve a bit.

I fully support organ donation... it is a wondrous thing.

Oh my gosh, I remember when people feared passing out at parties and waking up in bathtub full of ice with a note saying something about "We've harvested your kidney, call 911." Or some crazy s#it like that. I knew know people that used to believe that was a thing.

Yes, for many years.

last summer my 51 year old cousin died from an aneurysm and my understanding is her organs helped many. I do not recall now but think they said over 30 people were helped.

Note: She passed in a similar manner to Sweeney but she was not an asshole.

Yea I was in my 20’s and waking up in hotels from Kenya to Tokyo, I certainly heard those tales, and for the traveling years it was in the back of my head. Somehow life worked out.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
