I suggest once for no. She'll be doing that a lot more often. Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay? Lat Thame Say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do think that the recent movies and cable tv specials seem to be a way of prematurely eulogizing her for political reasons, and I think it's all a bit ghoulish as well. Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom is 85 and just starting to lose it, hopefully it doesn't happen too quickly. Dad is 93 and doing great. You are very fortunate to have them both, sucks when they go. I wish them both good health. I'm a desperate man Send lawyers, guns, and money The shit has hit the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modestobulldog Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Although I didn't agree with her views, thoughts and prayers for her and family. No guarantees in life, my grandparents all lived to between 90 and 100, dad died at 79 from ALS, mom 78 from atrial fib. Both of them ate healthy, maintained reasonably healthy weight, neither one drink or smoked. Sometimes the odds don't work in your favor. I chose to receive the Midwest cabin which is been in our family for a hundred years as part of my inheritance. but it's just not the same without them there. Needless to say, any twitch, and I instantly think of dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalCoug Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I truly hope the best for RBG. But take comfort in the fact that @sandiegopetehas assured us all that she is incredibly strong and in no way frail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
