Plus Mick Jagger just became anew father again. Also a certain 70-years-young “art of the deal” guy is heading to the White House.

I would think planes have AEDs aboard and the crew would be trained in using them.

People forget he’s been clean for 25 years or more. Also is a very low stress type of person, doing what he loves, when he wants, when he want to

Not a surprise. Reports were she wasn’t breathing for 10 minutes.

She died on board the plane

Very sad news. May the Lord grant her restful peace, and may her family be comforted in their loss.

yeah, I kinda thought that way too.

Probably just trying to get the family together first, and wait till after Christmas to “let” her go.

Right. She’s been on a ventilator ever since I’m sure. Her brother was quoted as saying on Christmas that “the media is saying she’s stable, but she’s not stable.” Sad. Sorry for her mother.

I am sorry for the families of these celebrities, but I can’t for the life of me understand why it is droned on about for days and weeks when one of them die. I must have missed something along the way. They are no more important to me than the local clerk at Walmart...in fact I even talk to the clerk. Guess that is the meaning of celebrity. In fact I don’t even know who this Marvin guy that died was. I think he must have been a rock star. I hope their eternity is as good as their life seems to have been.

....Or a certain Nobel Prize winner name Robert Zimmerman, (Bob Dylan), whose song, “The Neighborhood Bully” which is about Israel in regards to recent events of last week gained currency.
