But it costs money. > Pancreatic cancer for one. By the time symptoms surface and diagnosis is made, it is usually too far advanced to arrest regardless of how much money you have. You can be gone in 1-3 months in many cases. I have personally known several people who died of it; they were economically comfortable and certainly could afford the best medical care, but it is a relentlessly nasty form of cancer.

I can't find it now but I think it makes him born early Sixties. There's a post in some techie group from 1988 where he says IIRC that he is 27. The post was via Honeywell in Phoenix. Hence, 18 years later, I estimate 45ish...

Perhaps we wouldn't hear such atrocious phrases as "me and him" or "if I would have known" on an all too frequent basis. Diagramming can be an effective learning tool, and can teach discipline and logic in grammatical structure. It can also provide a good foundation for learning a foreign language. |
