Feeling a bit sad here... a High School friend of my sisters died yesterday from a heart attack. She had just beaten cancer, got Superbad gastro and became dehydrated, so dehydrated her heart stopped. I've know her for over 30 years. Made Christmas ornaments for her twins. Total shock

 

Sorry, B.

 Thanks everyone. 50 seems way too young for this.
 

My sister has been thinking about all the good times they had. As the helpful older brother I reminded her of the horrendous dresses they wore to their high school formal. Apparently they didnt burn all the copies

How you doing my dear Bucket

Doing ok. Exhausted after a 3 hour meeting this afternoon but good

How about you and Steve?

[Albert1434]

We doing ok were in lock down again

[Bucket1]

There are a lot of nervous people here. We had a hard border for our state and now it’s going to be open next week - there is a lot of talk about us not being ready.

[Bucket1]

I have masks if required. Sent some down to my sister and nephew too

[Albert1434]

That is a good Idea

[Bucket1]

How long is the lockdown planned for?

shopping and exercise is allowed?

[Albert1434]

Two weeks and I havent hear but we have always been able to shop no store will let you in with out a mask!

[Headstall]

Happy Thursday, all!

My condolences, @Bucket1, to you, to your sister, and to the family and friends of your sister's friend. ❤️

It's always a shock when someone leaves us suddenly.

I'm reminded of attending the funeral of a friend's mother about 30 years ago, who had also died very suddenly of a massive heart attack. I was stood at the graveside after the burial, and commented quietly to the vicar who had officiated something along the lines that it must be a nice way to go, quickly, rather than suffering and perhaps being in pain for a long time. It was remembering my own father's recent death following  a long and painful battle after being diagnosed with stomach cancer that probably made me utter those words. The vicar replied along the lines that, whilst it may be nice for the person who has died, it is not nice for those who are left behind, simply because they haven't expected it to happen and had no time to prepare themselves for it.

That short exchange made me reassess my thoughts...

Off to get my flu shot!

It was recommended I wait until November so I would be protected into spring here. I missed last week's flu shot day.
