She’s from Portland. I walk past a grade school named after her every day. Also, there’s a statue of Ramona nearby.

Sadiesmom, Larry McMurtry wrote "Lonesome Dove".
Regarding Beverly Cleary, whenever I hear her name I automatically smile. She wrote adorable children's books. May she RIP.

Considering the average lifespan in 2019 was 72, the Prince lived a good long life.

When Prince Phillip was born in 1921, the life expectancy was 51.5 in Great Britain.

He was born in Greece but in exile at 18 months but was fairly young when he arrived in Great Britain.

Wasn't sure where to put this as the UK Big Brother thread is years old, but Nikki Grahame has died, aged 38. No cause of death announced, but she has been very weak recently because of her eating disorder, so I think it will be because of that.
So sad, she had such personality.

That's so sad. She was so much fun on BBUK. She was always so skinny, it's hard to imagine she her weighing even less.

So very sad, she was one of the most memorable reality TV personalities for me. Such a funny, unique person. Her eating disorder was my first thought when I read about her passing.

Slightly off-topic but every time I see Michael Ausiello‘s name at the start of a post in new messages for this thread, I think he’s passed.
