Captain Kirk isn't dead
Bill Shatner is a little annoyed to have had his death announced on a Facebook link. This social media thing is getting out of hand.
However his spirited response does mention he is 87 today, 22nd March. Spock already died.
Even Captain Picard is 77. Ok, enough Star Trek.
Hands up anyone older now than people who had seemed old to you when they died - Elvis was 42, Freddie Mercury was 45, Michael Jackson 51.
Hey, look on the bright side, if you're over 50, even over 40, you're a survivor!
now having survived today's tutoring I am putting on arctic clothing and venturing upstairs to paint out rooms, if exposure doesn't drive me back downstairs or freeze me to death. Will catch up with any comments from those over 40 while I defrost with coffee. Spring sprang yesterday, so where IS it?

I guess I am lucky to be still alive.
I like my profile pic to make me laugh, and it does whether it is super-glam or super-ugly, I no doubt need a shrink
First thought - so THAT's how I die!
Second thought - hang on, I'm still alive?
Been on borrowed time ever since
I do think social media became a real threat, with carefully-hidden stories breaking free in every direction, and the response is being to muddy the waters so much, with so many scandals and false alarms and spurts of fake news, that no-one will believe anything any more?
I promise to tidy my hair and scrub off all the splots of paint, so long as you shave and change your shirt?
They are always up to no good
Or aliens. They live among us, you know, and hatch their young at a terrifying rate
How you doin', Non?
Art can coz he hasn’t got most of them!
And I’m gonna change all that...gonna corrupt him...
Mimi, you do realize there's a real possibility Art will corrupt you instead and / or keep you so busy you forget all about that online stuff?
Boet, and NZ are even more welcoming and they've got glaciers
And yes I could have mopped up those 3 comments in one but hey. I'm not in here that often these days and I do enjoy my own blogs
Yeah, lots of people have died at a young age that seemed old to me at the time.
But then I keep forgetting what age i am, and often see people younger than me as older
Bill Shatner is alive...but Kirk did die for a while and then he came back
The new kirk is not the best either and you can't replace the best
I watched and loved both in my childhood, but like star trek better
The original Star Trek was first aired in 1966 and it was not made into a movie until 1979
