Think he was called Doctor Shipman, long since dead but would have been able to stop Jimmy Carter having such a fragile existence if he were around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To make this even more interesting: every participant in this bet should already store the milk in said shoe today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EDMUND901 24 Posted June 19 One thing which may be keeping Jimmy going is that he has a new girlfriend. Even with a long happy marriage it is not uncommon for a widow or widower to find love again. This may sound far fetched at this point but there is no limit to the human heart’s ability to love and want companionship. I’m sure it has extended many lives. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of something Harry Hill wrote about in his tribute to Sean Lock. He rang Sean when he heard he was in a hospice and asked what the hospice is like. Sean replied "Yeah, it's okay. And the sex is amazing." 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he said his grandpa sleeps all day, he dropped out a key word. He meant to say, he sleeps AROUND all day. Good old Jimmy is too busy with that to have time to visit the kids. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDMUND901 24 Posted Friday at 14:17 I remember when I attended Carter's Sunday School class several years ago. According to his grandson it is difficult to understand Jimmy's speech now but with technology he could type the words for the lesson into a computer and it could be projected onto a screen and voice simulated. He is such a bible scholar it would be as inspirational as ever even if he only did it once every couple of months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is physically capable of moving outside of his house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a paywall on the article, but what do you mean he’s been sleeping since March. He’s gone into hibernation mode or is it just reiterating when his grandson said some days he’s awake some days he’s not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote For several years he has not been able to walk, and the last time he went outside his home in Plains, Ga., was when he was wheeled into his backyard on Easter Sunday in March. More recently, Carter has been sleeping or resting for much of the time, sometimes in a favorite recliner in the living room. archive.today link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,164 Posted Sunday at 02:44 Mangoes are beautiful, silky and not bitter at all. Best at room temperature. I could eat them endlessly. (It's page 110 of the Jimmy Carter thread, STFU) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
