He lives in Illinois and is making a special trip here for the occasion.(Learned this from a friend.) I literally have not spoken to him since the night I took the engagement ring off and put it on his dashboard and walked away. That happened 40 years ago. Hope it's not too awkward having to say hello to him again.

  • No - I think at this point I'm just going to wait until it comes on cable. And based on the fact that it was in the discount rack at Target, that shouldn't be too long (NT) -- Amy, 06/ 9/09 2:52pm

• Latest I heard was it is ruled as an accidental death. He was found naked, with a rope around his neck and "another part of his body" -- looks like accidental death by autoerotic asphyxiation. Just like Michael Hutchence, IIRC. Poor guy. That's an awful way to go. I hope he's remembered well for his acting contributions. (NT) -- annette, 06/ 4/09 1:54pm

• This is awful. Long ago and far away, when I was in 10th grade, my parents sat me down at the kitchen table - my sister excused to her bedroom - and I was told that my best friend in junior high had died, from an accident involving the same thing. Other than the shock of his death, I was completely perplexed as to 1) where he would have heard of such a thing (this was long before the internet) and 2) who would do such a silly thing? If you have male children, people - as awkward as it may seem, explain that this is an easy way to kill yourself. (NT) -- gumtree, 06/ 6/09 9:21am
  • Doesn't it make you wonder how someone ever thought of or discovered this in the first place? How can you put both of those things together? Who says to himself this might be more erotic if I'm almost killing myself at the same time? (NT) -- Liz, 06/ 6/09 11:11am
  • Lady I work with said it's the new thing to do amongst 13 year olds in her daughter's class. Not so much for the sexual thrill, but just for getting high. One girl has died from it that they know. (NT) -- Amy, 06/ 6/09 11:11pm

• I don't know if anyone will be interested in this, but I had dinner with my son tonight who is an electrical engineer and works in the aircraft industry. He works on Boeing planes and on the Airbus. He said the industry skuttlebut is that the cause of the Air France crash was ice on the airspeed indicator. The crew flying the plane probably reduced their speed going into the storm, but because of the icing affecting the indicator, probably slowed down too much and went into a stall. With the airplane in a prolonged stall, it probably was hit by a vicious downdraft which ripped the tail off the plane which caused it to not only break apart but lose all control and everything electrical that operates it. He told me a memo went out today to all airlines using the A330 to not reduce speed too drastically when flying in turbulent weather. (NT) -- Liz, 06/ 5/09 9:50pm
  • Brilliant. Shouldn't that memo have gone out BEFORE this happened? (NT) -- Amy, 06/ 6/09 11:12pm
    • I'm reading in the paper this morning that one DID go out, but that Air France had not replaced theirs yet because they were waiting for a better model of airspeed indicator. (NT) -- Liz, 06/ 7/09 11:04am
