Off topic.. disregard

A bandwagon we all apparently missed.

Actor Finnian Garbutt, 28, has publicly announced that the cancer he’s had for four years is now in its last stages.

Actress Carrie Anne Fleming has died at 51 from cancer. Not well known as an actress but she did have the role of Bobby Singer’s wife in Supernatural. After being cast as a married couple she became a couple with sometime SDMB contributor Jim Beaver. He announced her death on social media. Tragically Jim Beaver also lost his wife Cecily Adams to cancer at a young age.

Zed’s dead. And so is The Gimp.

Duane Whitaker must be shitting his pants right about now.

See, just before midnight on Thursday I took myself to th ER. I had what I thought was an abcess in a sensitive spot. Turns out to have been another sort of infection. But because my blood sugar was unknown to me so high I was admitted and just got back this afternoon Sunday. Not how I planned on having my weekend go. So I was in for over 2-1/2 days.

Don’t think this has been mentioned in this thread yet. If so, my apologies.

Cancer was the cause.

Biloxi Blues!

Sorry, it just dawned on me from where I recognized him.

Hope you’re feeling better now! Glad you’re back home.
