In a world where older folks regularly have to deal with serious chronic health conditions, someone who is getting up there but has been lucky enough to side step them?
Life straight up stole perfectly good time from them.
While it is not totally unacceptable? It is absolutely bunk.
Re: RIP v2 - still no cure for death
182I don't have any desire to live to 99, but I'm glad that Betty White did. My late grandmother had a resemblance to her. RIP.
I'd rather be throwing darts.

183Back in the old forum, I posted about how I thought my tenant was dying. Well - she succumbed due to complications of anorexia on or around Jan 1. RIP Kimi Louise Ankrum. You were a fighter and lasted a lot longer than I thought you would.

Sorry to hear that it played out the way that it did.

187My dad was born the same year as Betty. He’s been dead forever like 15 years though. I actually can’t even imagine what it would be like if he was still around.Chud Fusk wrote: Wed Jan 05, 2022 1:38 amWell if I live anywhere close to that long, I want people to not be sad, and to celebrate my longevity when I die.

190Looks like Bob Saget had COVID a week or so before his death and still sounded sick, and despite that touring in Florida during the Omicron wave (WTF).
