Good spot. I think he is dead, but IMDB got the details wrong. This appears to be a Facebook post from his wife in April this year reporting his death: https://www.facebook.com/maggie.causey/posts/10160018508073265

One thing you should never take away from a cancer patient is hope. He probably won't survive it, but no need to private message him just to tell him that he's dying.

By the way: Benedict has overlived with his 94 years two of Germany's most prominent theologians this spring -- Ute Ranke Heinemann (died in March at age 93) and Hans Küng (died in April at age 93), both liberal opponents to Benedict, both studied/worked with him and both later criticized his church politics.

Adele Springsteen has had dementia and Alzheimer's seemingly since Bruce released "Born to Run" and yet she's still with us and makes public appearances every now and then.

Forty six days since the last hit. However in last year's record breaking run there was a gap of 52 days between 25th July and 15th September. However if we don't get another hit in the next three weeks we will fall behind 2015.

Former goalkeeper Alan Miller has died aged 51. WBA, B'ham City, 'boro, Arsenal, Argyle... he got promoted with WBA, and was in the Arsenal squad that won 2 cups in 1993.

Bob Dole outlived his 1976 Vice Presidential rival Walter Mondale. I think Bob Dole will live to see his 98th birthday but not long past it.

I know he has a history of substance abuse to prescription medication and been in and out of rehab over the last 20 years. His weight has also fluctuated. He is 51 and aging naturally for a guy his age. He is not one for trying to use botox etc to look pretty.

I hope you're wrong about Jeff Bridges, because I love that man.

This is where the British Royal Family could learn from the Vatican. I bet that black cardinal has never had any questions about how black his kids will turn out..

Thank you for this information! There has been no mention here about not getting the shot if one has a child under two! The authorities went a while saying they were NOT going to give it to health workers first - maybe that is the reason - as many of course have young children. Very strange. One cannot trust the authorities anywhere I guess. Hope your friends get better soon. Take care!

I am fine with just an arm ache that goes within two days and maybe a dry mouth. My colleague on the other hand got high temperature and what appeared to be mild symptoms of Covid and had to take a few days off work. Bare in mind she also was ill with Covid back in April so we knew it wasn't that. Every other person I know who got the vaccine didn't have any other side effects except maybe being tired or run down (the latter being a porter who is overweight and miserable so and so anyway). I do work with a staff member who can't get the vaccine until May because she has a young child under two. Those circumstances i'm not totally sure on so if you are a woman with young child then discuss that with your GP etc.

Have you had any side effects? Here in Norway almost no one has gotten it yet. Hope you are ok!

Doesn't count. I've had that vibe about him since 2011!

Another hit. lol
