    Although I don't believe in superstitions, I hope it won't happen.

    Especially this one?  I mean how are the threes counted?  I'm sure three celebs died somewhere today in the world.  Do they have to die in the same place?  What is the criteria?  I hear Betty White is on her last legs according to the grocery store trash papers.  Does she count because she is an older lady?  I don't know what three we need to fill the quota and just how long a time period before it doesn't count any more?  
    (She won't talk to me, Rosie, so I have to talk to everyone else instead)

    Me too Shuhak It does seem to happen within a certain number of days. And then a long stretch of no deaths. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday.

    That's certainly how it  feels Rosie...kind if all around a week or so....I wounder if it has anything to do with hearing someone else has just died at the same age as you are ?

    Maybe the first death causes our antenna to pick up signals it ignored before? I dunno D. T'is a puzzlement. Anyway 97 is a nice long life. She picked some jerks for husbands though just like Debbie Reynolds did. I wonder why that is? Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday to thee!  :)

    They were looking for men to love them and care for them but who instead used them for their fame and money.  Doris Day I guess was a real sweetheart - did you ever read her autobiography?  Which came out maybe 45 years ago.  I did though I did not appreciate their talent until I was an adult. Debbie Reynolds was a real trooper and fine performer but seemed a tough nut and though I like some of her movies I don't think I would have liked her as a person as much as Doris Day.  Both were good singers and Doris Day had a very successful singing career.  I have a 78 of Debbie Reynolds singing Its Going To Be A Long Long Winter from 1951.  And Tammy which came out the year I was born.  Didn't hear either of them until much much later.

    Of course it comes in threes ... because people start counting over, when they reach 3.

    1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 (oops! I mean 1)

    It is within a certain number of days Walt. I don't know what that number is. A week perhaps. Now people are dying daily. It is the celebrities of whom I speak. The folks we "know". We can't know about the folks we don't know of course. And so just as we say America is all about the flag and mothers and apple pie death comes in threes to the notable. Is that always true? I have no idea. Thank you for your reply.  Do you believe in Unicorns Miracles and Happy Endings? I do. If you don't Maybe that's the why you believe as you  do and I believe as I do?

    Old wives tale.  Had no idea she was still alive. She was once a very big singing and movie star - as popular as anyone was.  She had a wonderful smile and personality.  Her husband spent all her money and she had to go into a dumb TV show to earn it back.  The famous Charles Manson murders took place at a house where her son used to live and she thought they were actually out to kill him.

    I have always thought many things come in three's....bad luck from tiny nuisances to much more serious things....
    Parking tickets for instant.....I get one on very rare occasions and then a couple more...There are places where you can normally park for free and then one day you park in the same place and it's a no parking zone....Im sure they plant cars there to entice people to park and not to look for new signs....
    Councils in Engkand still fine people where the area has been deregulated....none ever refund the money they illegally steal ....

    Thank you honey for validating how things seem to be to me. I think things can cascade. For whatever mysterious connection there may be one thing happens and triggers several others. I don't know if you have heard of QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT D. You know I'm a fan of quantum physics. Anyway what it is is kinda spooky. Things can be zillions of miles away and yet if you tweak something here a reaction will show up very far away. Now how can that possibly be? Well maybe everything is connected to everything in some way and we just are unable to understand it. I'm always looking for connections between disparate things. Sometimes I find them and I'm content. Trying to understand what I don't is a full-time job and it's tiring. Thank you for your reply D! :) I can always count you to "get" me!  SIGH. It's real nice! :)

    Dear God, please stop taking our legends. Give us back Bowie, Prince and Alan Rickman. You can take Trump and the Kardashians in exchange, nobody will miss them.

I wonder if we all forward your reply to HIM he will pay attention and get us out of our misery? Thank you for your reply R. Now we wait to see if "the power of prayer" really works! :)

    Is there some section in HEAVEN for the three?  What THREE? 

    There are tons of people who die every day.  And Hollywood Celebrities die in droves every month.  Just because you know who Doris Day is, doesn't mean there is some heavenly conspiracy.  Like how do you determine the THREE?  I guess these guys don't count because they are not as FAMOUS as Doris Day.

    Actually, I like our NEW RELATIONSHIP much better, Rosie.  I don't have to couch  my comments to spoon-feed your sensitivities any longer.  I can just ANSWER YOU.  FINE. I WILL.
