Getting old sucks.

[Zeneta]

I’ve instructed my family and expressed my wishes to them in no uncertain terms.

As to “End of Life” or “Do not resuscitate”.

DO NOT UNPLUG ME !!!!!!

EVER.

I want to bleed everyone dry.

Sure does. Dealing with health issues seems to dominate one’s life after reaching age 50. I’m 57 and my mother died of Dementia/Alzheimers five years ago at age 88. She was the only person I’ve ever known, personally, with dementia.

Always fondly recall watching David as Keith Partridge, with his stepmother, Shirley Jones, on the Partridge Family.
He was a teen idol and it’s hard to imagine such an early impending death.
I did catch a few minutes of him on with Dr. Phil a few months back and he was obviously struggling.

Prayers to all his loved ones and hope he doesn’t linger and suffer too much longer.

It doesn't really if you take care of yourself and exercise. If you don't do that it can be hell. One of my friends is 56 and is now paralyzed on his left side from a stroke but for years he overate like crazy, was extremely overweight, never exercised, now he's all messed up. Then I got another friend who is 64 and runs marathons which is amazing to me because I'm 55 and can barely run 3 miles as my knees are too effed up to run any further, but he's been doing it so long he can run that far. He just did the New York city marathon a few weeks ago and a few days later he was out running again, amazing. It's amazing how much a difference exercise makes. When Jack LaLanne was 70 he towed 70 rowboats filled with 70 people a mile and a half in the San Francisco bay while handcuffed and shackled. I don't even know 20 year olds who could do that.
