Dear friends, this is Laura’s sister Janis. I’m so sorry to have to let you know that Laura passed away on Sunday. I know this group meant a lot to her. Thank you for being there for her and for your thoughts and prayers.

I’m going to go into hospice tomorrow. I have heart failure. My heart is not pumping as it should. I’m not a good candidate for a heart transplant or a pump. The risk outweighs the benefit. I don’t know how much time I have left. But I do know it’s not a lot. My sister will post here once I pass.

I’m in the ICU. Had a CHF attack last night. My blood pressure was in the toilet. I have too much fluid around my heart again. The doctor said I’d be here at least 3 or 4 days. I probably won’t be on here much for a few days. Behave yourselves.

@mcuban.bsky.social - With 3.3K responses to this, I’m pretty sure you would never see this. You probably won’t see this either, but I’m going to try. 1/ I know you’re a businessman and have a very different perspective than the rest of us. Let’s look at what happens if Zelensky signs this.

Happy Caturday!
A black tuxedo cat sitting next to piles of books. Text reads “You’re going to become a cat lady living all alone in a book-filled apartment “ is such a weird insult, like when a witch tries to curse you and accidentally gives you the life of your dreams. Oh nooo not the cats and the books, how will I ever manage.

Photo of Volodymyr Zelensky. Quote “We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will punish everyone who committed atrocities in this war. On our land. We will find every bastard. Which shot at our cities, our people. Which bombed our land. Which launched rockets. Which gave the order and pressed ‘start’. There will be no quiet place on this Earth for you. Except for the grave.”

So, the engineers that keep having their rockets explode, leaving a debris trail of hundreds of miles are going to make air travel safer. I will never fly again. I go to Europe on a ship if I go.

The safety of air travel is a non- partisan matter. Spaced engineers will help make air travel safer.

Picture of Samuel L. Jackson from the Superbowl Half-time show. Text reads - The jacket had 16 stars.” Because there were 16 Free States in the period between 1850 and 1858, and because the U.S. Navy spent much of its time during this era chasing slave traders, it has been theorized that flags in this star count likely removed the Slave States.”

A notice from Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats. Hoping for a good outcome for him.
From Twitter, Brian Setzer.
Hi everybody,
I just wanted to to check in with you all. Towards the end of the last Stray Cats tour I notices that my hands were cramping up. I’ve since discovered that I have an auto-immune disease. I cannot play guitar. There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing gloves when I try to play. I have seen some progress  in that I can hold a pen and tie my shoes. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was at a point where I couldn’t even do that. Luckily, I  I have the best hospital in the world down the block from me. It’s called the Mayo Clinic. I know I will beat this, it will just take some time.

 I love you all,
 Brian

Okay, this is interesting. I just followed someone back & then they DM’d me. I was elsewhere so I didn’t respond. And two minutes after the DM, the twit blocked me. I would have blocked him anyway. My profile tells people that if they DM me after a FB, they get blocked.was it something I said? 😁

1/ In the early 2000s, I remember reading about a study from the 1950s that asked a group of people what would life be like in the year 2000. I vaguely recall the main researcher was Steven Levine. The end of the study was in 2000 & asked what would life be like in 2050. One of the things for 2050
