Maybe kicking him off the list will do the trick. Isn’t that what we say, we keep these folks alive by listing them? It could be worth losing the points. ---

I still think with how women around Travolta have passed in last few years (Olivia, Kirstie, his wife Kelly) I wouldnt be surprised if he outlives his sister Ellen and or his daughter Ella Though Ellen is 15 years older than John, so likely he will outlive her for sure ---

Schumacher was a regular on my lists. Then I just concluded he was a professional at staying alive and removed him. Then again, Shane MacGowan was on my lists for a few years as well, but I also took him off at one point because he was a professional at staying alive. Though, apparently he turned out to be a novice at it this year. ---

Though, apparently he turned out to be a novice at it this year. I had Ariel Sharon on my list before he went into the coma and for several years after. I dumped him and he died right away.
