StephanieL Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Two of my former NY chorus mates have died in the past 3 weeks. One was in his mid-70s and had metastatic cancer; the other was only 2 years older than me, and I don't know how she died other than she had been sick for some time (it wasn't COVID).

She'd had a long struggle over many years and many issues, from MS to a brain tumor to throat cancer. Complications to the throat cancer was the last straw. She was a tremendously caring and strong and vibrant and positive person; she leaves a giant hole in the choir and everywhere she touched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Thank you for the update, plattetude. I hadn't realized she had MS, but it makes sense now. I miss them both, but maybe it's the chorus that I miss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I got on a video call with a very old friend on Sunday, and discovered that his entire family managed to get COVID, precisely over the holiday season. They all got better, so maybe this is the wrong thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Bonner Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 You aren't hyped for a pair of LV logo print Boston's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I find my fake fur lined Bostons nicely louche for apres ski, but that’s about as far as I’m willing to go. 😕 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Bonner Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I have seasonal Boston's for use around the house. The faux fur ones very comfy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bloviatrix Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I thought she was referring to this - https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/birkenstock-hermes-birkin-sandal-bootleg/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 No, it’s yet another brand I love that now will be turned to crap by private equity. (I could care less what they do with special editions but my kids and I live in basic Arizonas all summer.) the German government should have stopped the sale. Way more important to national strategic interests than 5G! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
