    Eh, I say that he outlives his wife, then drops within the next year. She's 97! That's crazy.

    You know your sex life at 100 is great when your guests complain about the sandpaper sounds all night long.

    Ahhh, the Adam West years.

    I saw more of Eva in Green Acres than I did of Zsa Zsa in much of anything, but the latter was the one everyone was talking about, even into the 80's when I was a kid.

    I once skimmed his autobiography, seemed like every third story in it was about a sexual conquest, starting all the way back with some teacher of his from high school or something like that.

    I thought AC died years ago.

    I see Daybreak is taking over LoTRO and DDO. Good luck with that -- Daybreak is establishing itself as the home for stagnant-but-still-viable MMO properties.

    I'd try to verify, but I have no idea what my old login was and apparently they've stopped taking new account sign-ups ahead of next month's sunset.

    Daybreak's just the publisher. They do DCUO as well, and do a good job there.

    The real story in this one is that Turbine was going to SHUT DOWN LotR:O and DDO under WB's orders.


    So the developers and staff formed their own company (Standing Stone Games), raised capital, and BOUGHT the games from Turbine, otherwise they'd be on the heap with AC.

    Sure, the population on all LotR:O servers combined is just under 100,000, which is not a ton, (The old community manager posted a TON of numbers the day he walked on the job) but it's certainly not "This Game Is Dead" numbers, either.

    Since the server merger went through, the server I'm on (Landroval) is CONSTANTLY bustling with activity. I even had a day off recently and mid-day, middle of the week, world chat was still scrolling by almost too fast to read.

    I sort of miss that game - maybe I'll poke my head back in sometime over the holiday weekends.

    Still kicking but the risk is there with any heart attack
    Today we sail
    On the Solar Rail
    For there's much we just don't know
    So farewell with a kiss
    Then it's fast for the mist
    Till we're sleeping in the cold below

    2016, the year that just keeps on taking.

    I've had friends, some far older than her, survive MULTIPLE heart attacks that put them in critical condition and they ended up being fine for years afterwards.

    Medical science is thankfully getting pretty good at this.

    I think the important factor is getting the proper treatment in a timely fashion. Hopefully, the medics on board were able to provide that treatment before the plane was able to land and she got to the hospital.

    says shes out of the ER, I guess that EMT on the plane did a pretty darn good job then considering its the initial moments that id imagine are critical.

    One report claims she's on a ventilator.
