He was very witty, I thought. I don't always feel that way about the comedians that come from that part of the planet. Anyway, another smart, talented person dies young.

I recently watched the episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Gary Shandling and he was very swollen looking.

I didn't realize that his health was that bad.

As I get older more and more of the people who are of my generation pass away. It's life but kind of sad in a sense. RIP I thought he was a pretty cool person.

Maybe that's the best time for death. When you are tired of living.

The poor woman is as tough as an ox. Healthy as can be and just waiting for her turn.

I think if you are in chronic pain and you can't enjoy any of the things that you love to do because of that and all of your friends and family have passed on, then maybe you'd want to give it a rest I don't know. Everyone is different.

I guess Mr. Shandling was trying to get help on 911 when he collapsed. He was having chest pains the day before and his doctor told him to go to the ER but he waited. The next day he had a heart attack and didn't survive. I have high blood pressure and am on medication for that and an accelerated heart rate. My doctor gave me the warning signs of a heart attack and told me if I had any get to the ER immediately. You cannot wait hoping for the symptoms to go away.
