Anxiety said:

that's always one of my favorite parts of the show.

The first astrology books I ready were by Sydney Omarr. Every year he puts out a book for each sign with daily horoscopes. I bought my first Virgo book in 1986, then found out I was a Libra, by three hours. I learned a lot from his books, very informative basic astrology. I had no idea he had passed away.

$100 dollars to anyone who can make bennifer part of this list.

Dont mean 2 be a sports bore but Id like 2 make a serious contribution. Mark Vivien-Foe, a soccer player from Cameroon died from unknown causes whilst playing in a game againt France this year.

He played 4 my team, West Ham United and I have fond memories of him playing 4 us.

A sad death 4 such a talented player who had much 2 offer the game and life in general. He had a nice smile.

Mark Vivien-Foe R.I.P :F:

Edward Said?? Ohmygod.

The Salsa Queen (name escapes me) and Warren Zevon are both missing from the list.

VinaBlue said:

Oh, he was such a nice looking man. And he had style. I've seen quite a few of his movies. He was a rather kinda hot man, when he was in his thirties-forties.

He was also gay-friendly. He participated in the GLAAD Awards a few years ago.

VinaBlue said:

Ah, what a wonderful actress she was. I ed her.

What suprises me and saddens me Vina, is that many were just in their 50's.

Too young if you ask me, too young.

GREGORY HINES!!!
