Guest Guest Posted February 7, 2006 Ford isn;t going to die............you can tell by looking at him that he doesn'[t have it in him. Interesting, I'm sure he and Mrs. Ford will probably have something to say later in the day regarding the death of Mrs. King. Four U.S. Presidents are expected at today's funeral for Coretta Scott King- Guess who the only one not going is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted February 7, 2006 I heard the same report - phrased a little differently. George W. and 3 former US presidents will be attending (Clinton, Papa Bush, and Carter). Tells me Ford is still reeling from his recent health problems. I've seen people hang on for longer with worse conditions, but Former Pres. Ford is on his way out.

Guest iain Posted February 10, 2006 Jimmy Carter appeared on Larry King Live again last night. King asked him how Ford was doing. Carter said he had talked to a Ford aide a little earlier in the day and that he(Ford) was 'doing as well as can be expected' and that he is at home. Carter seemed rather somber and became almost emotional talking about the friendship he and Ford have. Something just doesn't sound very optimistic. that is very interesting..it seems we may be closer to the end of Gerald Fords long life than even I thought...

Octopus of Odstock 1,861 Posted February 12, 2006 Just a further post I suppose in addition to 2007 I & P, that Mr. Ford no longer accepts any requests for letters, correspondance etc. It may already be somewhere on this thread, so apologies if so. The above is always a fair sign that the end is sooner, rather than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Begins at 5 o'clock 7 Posted February 13, 2006 I think Ford is definitely going to die this year. The networks have all prepared their "A Great American Figure has Fallen" peices detailing his career. He's a lock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GracieJc8 3 Posted February 13, 2006 It seems that newstories and commentaters are talking a lot more about Ford in terms of his career and legacy. The hospitalization stories always talk about his role in the Warren Commission which has often been overlooked in terms of his political career. I for one am begining to believe that Ford will pass on this year. And probably before November 11 which he survives that long will break Ronald Reagan's record for longevity. Ford will most likely die as the second longest lived president in U.S. history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 1,861 Posted February 13, 2006 Something is clearly happening here. Obituary Like Tribute - the last line is a interesting usage? Sound like a tribute to the deceased, but seems published in advance, maybe by mistake? Or does she know something everyone else doesn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted February 22, 2006 Ariel Sharon is dead, near as makes no difference. If Ford survived to say late October before lapsing into a final coma, I wonder if his family would stall on turning off the life support until November 11th.

Life Begins at 5 o'clock 7 Posted February 24, 2006 I don't think he or his family would turn off the life support as his party of choice has firmly come out that they're not going to let anyone choose to die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 93 Posted February 25, 2006 I had a strange dream about Gerald Ford last night, and I'm not certain what it means. Basically what happened was that I met Gerald Ford, but I could never quite see his face. He wanted me to take him and meet all the DLers, but when I introduced him to you all, no one seemed to know who he was. He didn't die either. I wonder what that means?

Guest Guest Posted February 25, 2006 He didn't die either. I wonder what that means? Wonder no more! according to Dreemoods a faceless person indicates you wish to understand them on a deeper level and being an unknown person indicates evil or bad luck. Seems nearly relvent, which is more than I can say about any of my dreams I've tried on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
