The Man from Gladden

Gates McFadden?

He's right. We should listen to the new guy.

You guys dont watch it all on a monitor screen? I watched them run a camera scope up my wiener and grab a kidney stint and puuuuuuuuuull it out. Well I saw the first part some but at the yank part I suddenly had other thoughts on my mind

gladden is correct,

...

Autocorrect knows what is good for us.

My dad has had "pre-cancerous" polyps removed and cancerous skin removed so I've been on the five year plan since 38, I think. I don't find the prep is bad but I also have Crones and pain and intestinal problems are a way of life for me. The worst part about prep is that I have to take a half day off work, even if I schedule the scope on a Saturday. I also have to inconvenience someone to pick me up and wait around four plus hours and then take me home... So really, that's actually the worst part, taking a half day away from someone else' life. What do they do if you have no one to wait for you? I'm also recovering from scope quite a bit slower than I did ten years ago.

I would just lie and tell them I had a ride then sit around somewhere there after it for a few hours before driving home.

Your ride waits in your recovery area while you wake up, or least they do in my hospital system. I want to say they fill out paper work as well, but I don't really know. I never asked.

BBC

Actress Dame Diana Rigg, famous for roles including Emma Peel in TV series The Avengers and Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones, has died at the age of 82.

Her daughter, actress Rachael Stirling, said she died of cancer, after being diagnosed in March.

"She spent her last months joyfully reflecting on her extraordinary life, full of love, laughter and a deep pride in her profession," she added.

Dame Diana also played the only woman who became Mrs James Bond.

She played Tracy in 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I believe I only saw her in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Game of Thrones and I loved her in both.

The original Avenger. A sexy classy woman.

Yeah, an absolutely beautiful woman and by all accounts, a class act. She was the second best Tyrell. RIP.

She was oh so hot when she was young. Time takes everything. RIP

I also remembered her as the sexy, stylish and ass kicking Emma Peel. She was a joy to watch in all her roles.

She was one of my earliest crushes.

Damn, Toots is dead.

That sucks. I knew it was coming, my wife told me a few days ago he was sick and in intensive care.

I was a big fan and never got to see them live.

Edit to add my introduction to the band from one of my all time favorite movies:

Have you seen the cause of death yet? The NPR article mentions he was tested for Covid, but that's it.

I'm very glad I didn't miss the opportunity to see them in Seattle a couple years ago.

One of the best songs ever:

The Jamaican message board my wife reads attributes Covid as the cause, that is why he was admitted to the hospital. He was in a medically-induced coma.

Agreed. Such a jam.

+2. I'd say in my top ten.

Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine today...

Exist in life to the emptiest!

I doubt she died from dementia. She may have had dementia when she died but she died from something else.

I dont know. Ive seen it where Id blame dementia on a death . Over time it takes your ability to swallow. You could say a person died of starvation or choking or a myriad of other ways dementia can change your ability to do stuff. But to me the root cause would be dementia. Because without it you wouldn't have died.

I also see Reddy had Addisons but Im not sure if that kills you...not sure what it is without reading.

This is accurate. Same debate goes on in various Covid circles.
