Jerry_Atrick Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I used to marvel at howe people who have made it to a ripe old age would have experienced progress and change in society. Until a late octogenarian confided in me that the world has left him behind. Not only the tech, but society attitudes and culture, and the preseve of being grumpy was because it was difficult to fathom what to do in a brave new world. His opinion was even if he was compus mentis and of reasonable physical condition at a late age, he probably wouldn't be happy because the world isn't the one he knows. Maybe the world shouldn't stop, but you get the option of the off ramp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Many don't fit the oft quoted steriotype. The choice to end one's life must always be an option for the INDIVIDUAL. Making suicide a crime is a big Joke but it's NOT funny. Was it ever the LAW in Scotland? Nev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The name Bachman-Turner Overdrive always makes me think of a heavy duty truck gearbox for an REO Speedwagon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Who was it? - Black Nationalist leader, Marcus Garvey? - that read his own (mistaken) obituary in the newspapers? It was reported he was so upset about how he was described in the obituary ("broke, alone and unpopular"), that had another stroke, and died 2 weeks later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Renee Geyer has passed away due to compllications with a hip operation (although at the same time diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer): https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/jan/17/renee-geyer-australian-jazz-and-soul-icon-dies-aged-69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I am not a great Jazz & Soul fan but Renee Geyer was something else. Her voice has been described as being like "cigarettes rolled in honey". She had the rawness of Janis Joplin with the lift of Aretha Franklin. RIP Renee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 The whole story around Renee Geyers illness and death doesn't ring true. Why would any doctor do a hip operation on someone suffering from inoperable lung cancer? Nothing adds up with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how that works; maybe tumours impacted on the ventilation or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Plenty of surgery like that is done on the Private insurance Fee for service set up. A person I know rushed to hospital to prevent a leg amputation on his mother who died a week later. Wouldn't have survived the OP but they would be Paid. .
