    1. Jimmy Carter

    This showed up on CBS Sunday Morning today- looks like he is still fighting- but how much longer can he go?

    Derby Dead Pool 2024

    So sorry to hear about this one, he was one of the greatest conductors of his day

    Peter Schickele

    I know that most of you have probably not heard of this guy, but Peter Schickele died today, a hilarious composer of phony- and funny- music sort of in the style of JS Bach- he claimed to have found this guy, the youngest and oddest of JS Bach's 20-odd children. Anyway, sorry if I am breaking any rules, but he was well known here in the United States by nerdy people like me, so I thought I would mention it-

    Norman Lear

    His sitcoms were highly entertaining, but also making important observations about the Society we live in- made many people a lot more aware of life as it is for the whole spectrum- really influenced a lot of Americans in particular- I bet he's not as popular with Republicans though!

    The 19th Death of 2023

    I still think Jimmy Carter. although he may be trying to make it through Christmas

    Sandra Day O'Connor

    I suppose Jimmy Carter is next in line

    Henry Kissinger

    Nah, Carter's a good guy

    Henry Kissinger

    Yeah he would have to survive until next October- I doubt he'll make it that long, sadly.

    Henry Kissinger

    I think he will skip Mr. Kissinger's funeral!

    Henry Kissinger

    Wow, I can't believe how long it took for me to get here- there must be a lot of people coming on! Really funny, but I was thinking of Kissinger last night, expecting him to die soon, and there it is!!!! Well, if Henry could make it to 100, surely Jimmy Carter can too- honestly though, I don't think he will. I wonder if Nixon was there to meet him when he showed up- in whatever place!

    1. Jimmy Carter

    I think it's going to be private, just the family.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    He is oxygen starved- he wanted to be there to support Rosalynn and now that she is gone he has no reason to stay- he will be gone very soon

    1. Jimmy Carter

    I'm watching that too- more than pale, he looks like he is at death's door! Not even sure if he is conscious. I will not be surprised if he dies before the week is out! I strongly recommend that if he is still alive on January 1st, you make him number one on the list- but I don't expect it!

    Rosalynn Carter

    You got your wish.
  16. chiesa52

    Rosalynn Carter

    Looks like it was Joss, can't swear to it- did they go up on the board at the same time?

    Rosalynn Carter

    That really was quick, a VERY short time on Hospice. So sorry to see her gone, I think Jimmy will follow very quickly!

    20th Century Americans Sitcoms

    So now Matthew Perry- does it seem to any of you that the last few weeks a rather unusual number of TV actors and popular musicians have died?? It just seems like a lot all of a sudden to me!

    Dianne Feinstein

    I would be really upset if she had ever run for President, she would have been terrible-
  20. chiesa52

    Dianne Feinstein

    About time for her to cash out- she was just keeping the seat warm for a long time- not even that, since she hasn't been showing up for work, and a lot of people wanted her to retire and get somebody in who is younger, more energetic, and capable. I really thought she would go next year- but she has surprised us all!

    Michael Gambon

    He was great in The King's Speech as George V- also showed up as narrator in several very good films- but I really liked him in Quartet- An excellent actor who will be missed

    Bob Barker

    In Prince Philip's case, he said he kind of dreaded turning 100- he definitely did not want to celebrate his 100th birthday- so he got his wish! I bet he died with a smile on his face!

    Avatars

    Okay, I fixed it!
  24. They just missed the boat!

    David McCallum

    Sorry to see him go, I remember him from Man From Uncle- a great actor and a good long life! RIP
