That's one of the things about getting older. Everyone starts dropping like flies, including our celebrities.

That's why you live everyday like it's your last.

Doing that is how I ended up with all these aches and pains.

LOL It's too late for that now! Some mornings I wake up and my body doesn't actually do what I tell it to. I'll go to get out of bed and maybe roll over halfway and give up.

At my age I roll over and sit up on the edge of the bed for a few minutes and then stand up to find where the hitches in my get along are.

Yep old age can be a bitch in the morning until that first cup of coffee and naproxen kicks in.

Very sad. RIP

Very sad - knew that eventually she would pass having seen that the cancer had returned.

Thank goodness we have her legacy of music, such a wonderful voice.

Often thought a rope tied to a large spring attached to a ceiling beam would be useful in such a situation
myself!

ON TOPIC: didn't care for her genre, but may she RIP!

This is another dormant thread that was reactivated. I have seen it called "necro posting" - posting in a "dead" thread. If I were to guess, the user who reactivated this thread created the account for future spamming, then added one innocuous comment to this thread to get the account started. This has happened several times since I joined last month.

Are they interested in Linux? Probably not.

Edit: The thread was reactivated by a post that was subsequently deleted by a moderator. I was not referring to forester's post above.

Most days, I'm out of bed by 05:00. On the other hand, some days I don't move much until I absolutely have to. Those are the days when I tell the missus that the house better not burn down, 'cause I'm not getting out of the bed for anything except to use the bathroom.

Are they interested in Linux? Probably not.

And, to make it clear, it was not @forester who posted - it was someone else. Their comment added nothing of value, refreshed an old thread, and was most likely a spammer trying to build a comment history. So, I deleted it. If they're serious about participating, they'll do so seriously.

Not sure that I agree with that, but I'll leave it for now.

@wjefferies9 if you are legitimate, tell us a little about your interest in ONJ.
