March 17, 20232 yr comment_624402 I was sitting in my surgeon's office this morning regarding my upcoming knee replacement on April 19th & I saw a tweet about Bruce Willis passing away. I checked some internet news sources & couldn't find a thing. I guess he hasn't passed away (which is good) but he's in pretty rough shape with Aphasia & Alzheimer's. Poor guy. He's the same age as I am. His birthday is coming up on March 19th. Edited March 17, 20232 yr by SpeedFlex27

I went to check new sources & no one was reporting it so I figured it was fake.

April 11, 20232 yr comment_626323 when I worked in Dauphin a billion years ago (seemingly) we interviewed him a fair bit, as he was a "local". Was always a genuine and passionate supporter of Manitoba. Really big loss, this.

April 12, 20232 yr comment_626403 RIP Al Jaffee. Artist for Mad magazine. Died at 102. Sketch in peace!

For me it comes down to quality of life. Spending days in a diaper sitting in a wheelchair while drooling and unresponsive is not living, it is just existing.

Got to have an exit plan and be capable of executing it while you still can, unfortunately it's usually the family that prolongs life well beyond it's rational expiration date. It's a bit insane.
