I think it was a terrible thing to happen to someone of that age who was still so fit and healthy, and would have had many more years to enjoy life.<br />I refuse to have anything to do with Facebook, mostly because of the evil things that people do to each other on their respective sites. Mostly kids I know, but it puts a bad taste in one's mouth. Anyway who needs it when we have our blogs?Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-48412512653331901772011-08-15T15:04:11.056+01:002011-08-15T15:04:11.056+01:00How sad or perhaps not sad to hear of your friend&...How sad or perhaps not sad to hear of your friend's death, I know that i would prefer to die doing something I care about than to linger and die slowly.<br />I joined Facebook to stay in touch with our daughter who lives in another state, sisters in another state and friends both far and near. So far I enjoy it, but I'm not addicted to it and I block all games on it.

It's very hard on those who are left, but much kinder to the person concerned! We just have to get as much out of each day as we can in the meantime. I can't be doing with Facebook, though. I'm too private, and am not really interested in seeing what others get up to day to day. They can get on with their own lives, and I will deal with mine, is how I see it!the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-35268351360515069622011-08-15T04:25:38.661+01:002011-08-15T04:25:38.661+01:00Sorry to hear about your friend.

Facebook is something I use to keep in touch with brother/niece/nephew in Australia, virtual friends in Canada and, sadly, to play Scrabble with my mother (who only lives in Livingston but we don't get the time to play proper Scrabble!). If you would like to join in any Scrabble games, let me know.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452847223685776419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-40129951856961735882011-08-15T01:56:59.283+01:002011-08-15T01:56:59.283+01:00Your news of the woman's death startled me, a ...Your news of the woman's death startled me, a bit. I had read the title of the post, but was still surprised to see. I try to be careful when running, but one never knows, do we?

I just think it is so hard on those left behind when death comes so suddenly and so unexpectedly.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.com
