That crush evaporated with stories of her relentless unpleasantness and right-wing views.
Nobody should suffer like that, though.

(780 posts)Really hard to work with. But cancer is an equal opportunity killer.
And the guy from ALF that died from heatstroke. My guess it that's going to end up a suicide, though he took his dog with him. I live daily with the danger of heatstroke, as I do not sweat properly, if at all. It's no fun to have it, either. Painful and scary.
