jd24fan 78 Posted October 1 I'm very happy Jimmy made it to 100. What a life he's had in political office and out of it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDMUND901 34 Posted October 1 When Alf Landon turned 100 President Reagan came to visit him and there were pictures of them sitting on the porch eating cake. Might we see a similar type of picture now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,585 Posted October 1 Managed to stay awake for about 1 minute 15 seconds after leaving the house then fell asleep. Slept throughout the flyover. It's nice for DL to be able to do some form spotting but I really don't think his family should have wheeled him out. I'll give him a month.

drol 11,935 Posted October 1 How to comment? He has deteriorated further, still able to be wheeled out and not on oxygen. He could still go on a few months, and by now predictions about Carter just don't make sense. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll be on my shadow list until he finally drops but at this point I don't see the point of trying to predict when he'll die, one day it'll happen but he's consistently survived deadlines (pun intended) for a decade and especially in the past 18 months.

Fergie86 374 Posted October 1 He looks absolutely awful, surely can’t be much longer though with Jimmy Carter you can never be sure. The family shouldn’t of wheeled him out for the flyover. Jimmy Carter can’t have any quality of life, it’s cruel when you get to that state, will be a relief for him when he’s finally at peace. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The person he comes closest to reminding me of is Henry Allingham. This was photographed at his 113th birthday back in 2009, about five weeks before he died. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,045 Posted October 1 Honestly it’s not worth making prediction at this point, he could linger for months (even though I don’t think he’ll make 2025) or drop dead tomorrow. The only thing that fascinate me is How could he still be alive in that condition ? Also, I doubt all the things Jason Carter said about him talking politics and everything are real… 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy Carter can’t have any quality of life, it’s cruel when you get to that state, will be a relief for him when he’s finally at peace. I doubt he is in much pain, or atleast he could be much worse if he wasn't in hospice. He does look dead here (a bit comparable to that censored image of Nguyễn Côn from a few years ago), but he has looked very frail for a while - atleast if he would be ashamed of his own frailty he'd have stopped making those rare public appearances years ago. Also quite likely that he has good days and bad days, most days are bad and this is one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I doubt all the things Jason Carter said about him talking politics and everything are real… It is something to witness someone hanging on so long. I have been an at home CNA for 7 years and I had some hospice cases that they did indeed look like this at the end and sometimes for a few months. Though what Carter is going through is a true rarity that many do not see. You might be surprised that one day they can look like Carter does today and the next have a conversation that last for an hour. It happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobytomi 109 Posted October 1 I don't see much change with the photos of him in November of last year compared to these from now, I wouldn't be surprised if he makes his second anniversary in hospice care next February. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
