Autistic Merit 9 Posted January 2 You'd think she was the only person ever to get cancer, the way she's going about it. Helen McCrory, Bill Turnbull and Chadwick Boseman were never in the news this much when they were suffering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After hearing that Norm McDonald had cancer and told almost no one, I grew to dislike how Linda is milking her cancer diagnosis. We know she's ill, and she might die this year, sure, but it's getting tiresome seeing her say that "she doesn't have long to live" for the 18th time. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I knew I was surely dying I don’t believe I would tell anyone other than my family. It’s a private affair and “sharing the news” is just attention seeking behavior. Jimmy Buffett also did it right. I was shocked by both of their deaths. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He (or likely, Disney) had an active team removing any news or photos within minutes of them being online. I recall seeing the emaciated photos of him. What did leak out with more staying power were generic things like he had lost weight and had a "bad attitude." I thought he had AIDS, so did not guess the correct disease, but knew it was something. I wasn't on DL then so I don't know what people here were saying, or were even allowed to say without it being scrubbed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 15,752 Posted March 2 What a drama queen. "Coleen's top tips for packing in smoking: LET THE URGE PASS The craving only lasts a few minutes. It’s hard not to give in if you’re stressed, and there have been times I’ve wanted to smoke. But the first few weeks are the hardest. DISTRACT YOURSELF If you get the urge to smoke, do something else instead – pick up a book, call a friend, listen to a podcast, clean the kitchen. Distraction is a powerful tool. DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP I still can’t bring myself to say I’m a non-smoker because I don’t want to put pressure on myself – as soon as I feel pressure, that’s when want to smoke! Instead, I say, “I’m trying my best”. And if I mess up once or twice, I’m not a failure. I’ll still be doing great. If you fall off the wagon, start again. REMEMBER WHY YOU’RE DOING IT Keep reminding yourself why you’re quitting. I go back to the time in my hotel room when I thought I was going to die. TRY GUM AND PATCHES Stop-smoking aids work for some people and I’ve tried them all. They helped to take the edge off the craving." Toast's top tip for packing in smoking: 1. DON'T BUY ANY MORE CIGARETTES Anyone who can afford to smoke nowadays must be minted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
