About 55% of employment in Missoula is made up of the service and retail sectors. Export industries are concentrated in heavy and civil engineering, construction, beverage production, technical services, truck transportation, and forestry-, logging-, and wood-related industries. In addition to nearly 4 million out-of-state visitors annually, which makes tourism a significant aspect of the Missoula economy, Missoula also is home to a vibrant sector of alternative healthcare. Was just saying this to the lads down the pub last night. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimgrass 514 Posted March 10, 2022 11 hours ago, Ulitzer95 said: If in doubt, check Facebook out. Here are two pics of her from May 2021, uploaded by friends. She looks fine in both of them. Granted, they're 10 months old, so she could've had a sudden downturn in health, OR she's completely fine and like a lot of celebs, simply opted to stop signing shit after decades of doing it. In her case, once she reached 90 (like John Williams also did). Cheers Ulitzer. Glad to see her looking so well, assuming she hasn't declined after that. The post on Fanmail.biz (which I linked) mentioned the response came from her power of attorney (rather than Tewson herself), and used the words "no longer able to autograph", which gave me the impression she was in much more dire health. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone who is in a nursing home (not Denville) apparently - my theme team pick Richard Franklin, when not in hospital.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 11, 2022 Ohio State University offensive lineman Harry Miller says he is "medically retiring" from football, citing struggles he has faced with mental health. Miller says he attempted to take his own life before the start of last season and praised Ohio State head coach Ryan Day for the immediate support he provided when the offensive linesman opened up to him about it. Miller says Day put him in contact with two doctors who provided him with support. After a few weeks, Miller tried playing football again with "scars on my wrists and throat." "But luckily, I am a student in the College of Engineering, and I have a 4.0 and whatever accolades you might require, so maybe if somebody's hurt can be taken seriously for once, it can be mine."

arghton 6,753 Posted March 16, 2022 Professional sumo wrestler, 56th Yokozuna Wakanohana Kanji II has very quiet for ages and has a long health history. Hepatitis, liver issues, alcoholism and he's been wheelchairbound since a stroke he had in 2007. He left the Sumo Association in 2013 due to his health problems, including permanent memory issues caused by the stroke. Now 68, must be in a pretty bad condition. I expect him to get a Yahoo sports obituary, however it's not guaranteed as Tochinoumi Teruyoshi didn't get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted March 18, 2022 Never mentioned on here before and surely worthy of our interest: 95-year-old physiologist Giles Brindley, who... let Wikipedia explain. Quote Brindley is perhaps best known for an unusual scientific presentation at the 1983 Las Vegas meeting of the American Urological Association, where he removed his pants to show the audience his chemically induced erection and invited them to inspect it closely.[4][5] He had injected phenoxybenzamine using one mL (of a mixture 5mg of Phenoxybenzamine in 10 mL os saline) into his penis in his hotel room before the presentation. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiesa52 132 Posted March 28, 2022 I was just watching the Academy Awards, and Liza Minnelli was a presenter of the last Oscar- she looks awful- she is confined to a wheelchair, and seems shaky (Parkinson's?) and also not quite with it- I think it might be smart to put her on the list for next year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,753 Posted March 29, 2022 Das Boot inspiration, U-boat senior engineer Friedrich Grade is still alive at 106. A small list of 20 perennial coffinteases, people who logically shouldn't be alive, those who are frail and old as hell - I've put them to "duel" about which one will live longer as not a lot of them have died during the last month. The idea is blatantly stolen, drol did something similar in Nov 2018. Only Violeta Chamorro is alive from the 16 names mentioned in that post. 1. Violeta Chamorro (1929) vs. Francisco Morales-Bermúdez (1921-2022) Winner: Foreverdying Violeta Chamorro! 2. Khamtai Siphandone (1924) vs. Jiang Zemin (1926-2022) Winner: corpselike Siphandone! 3. Fauja Singh (Probably ca. 1928) vs. Saalumarada Thimmakka (Probably ca. 1928/1929) 4. Kane Tanaka (1902/1903-2022) vs. Juan Vicente Pérez Mora (1909-2024) Winner: Juan Vicente Pérez Mora! 5. V. S. Achuthanandan (1923) vs. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee (1944-2024) Winner: Organ Failure Achuthanandan 6. Sidney Cooke (1927) vs. Peter Tobin (1946-2022) Winner: Sidney Cooke, may he also die soon. 7. Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-2022) vs. Nikolai Ryzhkov (1929-2024) Winner: Nikolai Ryzhkov. 8. Wan Haifeng (1920-2023) vs. David Musuguri (1920-2024) Winner: Good guy Musuguri! 9. Agnes Keleti (1921) vs. Siiri Rantanen (1924-2023) Winner: Keleti 10. Leslie Phillips (1924-2022) vs. Bob Barker (1923-2023) Winner: Barker 11. Wang Huo (1924) vs. Ma Shitu (1915-2024) Winner: Wang Huo 12. Tin Oo (1927-2024) vs. Jimmy Carter (1924) Winner: Jimmy. 13. Boris Pahor (1913-2022) vs. Kazimierz Klimczak (1914-2023) Winner: Klimczak! 14. Leonid Kravchuk (1934-2022) vs. Vytautas Landsbergis (1932) Winner: Vytautas Landsbergis, once in a while hospitalised due to pneumonia. I tried to make them as balanced as possible, all of them very likely to go this year, except maybe Keleti and Rantanen. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add that to being 99, and yeah, would seem to be a decent bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
