death in group

[DerbyDad03]

As I'm sure you know, appearances don't mean squat when it comes to our health.

A few years back a good friend of mine - mid-50's at the time - had just spent the afternoon putting in the docks at his cabin. He looked like he was in better health than his 2 sons that helped him.

Later that day his wife wondered why he was taking so long in the shower and went in to check. She found him lying on the shower floor, the fatal victim of a massive heart attack.

Last month a co-worker came in on a Friday and told us that her husband, a big, strong, softball-playing, motorcycle-riding construction worker hadn't been feeling right for a few days and decided to go to the doctor. He was diagnosed with cancer. They were told that it was treatable and had an appointment for the following Monday to set up a treatment plan. By Sunday afternoon he was gone. The entire episode took less than a week.

Looks can be very deceiving.

My kids post there so I do too. Told my daughter in law that our new granddaughter always looks great on FB as when we see her in person she cries ;)

[Meanie]

LMAO! Amen. ...and she still won't see it from my response either.

[FrozenNorth]

But you were mean to her. :-) She won't see my response either.

I truly hope as Stormy was following the great light the batteries held out till he reached his destination.

(Truly saddened)

Hoping they weren't Ray-O-Vac!

[Jake]

Maybe Stormy was bangin' one of the clerks when his heart gave out? Nice way to go, sure beats checkin out in a nursing home

[ItsJoanNotJoann]

That's probably the reason. I'm not a Facebook member either.

[ItsJoanNotJoann]

Ok, PLEASE share how you set up a junk account. I did, too, and it worked for about 2 weeks then they demanded to see some proof of who I am. I made a copy of my drivers license, blocked out my real name, along with address, city and state. I've uploaded this information to them twice but I can longer access anything (every damn thing has to got through crappy Facebook now)and they keep saying they need proof of who I am. GRRRRRRRRRRR

I surely would appreciate any tips.

I'm very sorry to hear this.

[DerbyDad03]

Wait a minute...I'm confused. Did you just post a civil response to something *I* said?

The last I heard from you were asking me to drop dead.

Has the passing of Stormy softened your heart? You know, niceness does look so much better on you.

Per DerbyDad03:

My late brother, when he died of a heart attack at age 44, looked like one of those Mixed Martial Arts guys.... solid and ripped.

I do not use Facebook. But I have an account under my real name. What I did is not enter anything, except my name. I post nothing. I accept no friends requests. I did find that I had liked something someplace. I figured out how to remove that. So it is a completely empty shell. But it is enough for me to see other accounts.

If someone wants to see his picture, e-mail me and I will send.

Behave and don't push your luck.

I didn't read everything, but if true, may he rest in peace.

[Danny D.]

Someone dear to me died in my arms a few years ago. That's when I realized, we *all* die alone.

Very alone.

If this story is true, I hope he rests in peace.

Do you two have 'funny' real names? (No need for details, just y/n).

I was never asked by FB for any proof. At the time, I was using an SMTP address provided by my cable company. (i.e. not Hotmail, Gmail, etc.)

I too have no FB friends, etc, and only use the account to log in for

3rd party sites as needed. Every few months I get an 'inactivity - please log on to confirm' message.

I belong to a local small non-profit group. I made a website for them some years ago, and got a gmail acct for their email. I few members wanted me to make a facebook page. I told them I'm sorry, but I want no part of FB, but if someone else wants to make it, that's fine. Someone else did, and they swapped 2 of the zipcode numbers around (typo), for a real town and address and real business. They used the groups gmail address. Since I get all of the email sent to me, I got one from Facebook, DEMANDING that I fix the zipcode error, or they would automatically do it, if I did not do it within 10 days or something like that. Apparently they check every goddamn detail. Precisely why I want nothing to do with them. Our groups FB guy did fix the error, but I really was pissed about it, and handed over the email address to him.

[Don Wiss]

I have never gotten such a message. But then I never log out, so to them I'm logged in all the time.

Everything fits so well, it has to be true....
