My dad went through similar experiences and he showed the same character, bless all people who have that strength, an honour to be near people like that, still helps me to keep things in perspective and try to live each day to it's fullest.

(I'd apprciate it if you could ignore the fact that I spend so much time on TV :o )

Broke my neck in a swimming pool accident in Singapore back in 1979. Busted C-1, C-2 and cracked C-3. Was paralyzed on my right side for 9 long months before getting back on my feet. I can relate to Christopher Reeve - big time.

May God rest his soul... :o

I didn't know he had died until now.

What happened exactly?  Any links?

This has been a sad week, and yes, he was a superman for not giving up after what happened - but what has just happened, did his body give up?

Sad :D

did his body give up?

What do you think............. YES it did :o

Shame on you Scampi.......... :D

Gentleman Scamp

He had an infection a bed sore of some type and the infection had spread throughout his body he had a heart attack and slipped into a coma according to news reports

actualy wouldn't surprise me if his wife told the doctors to give him something to make him pass away, knowing how active he was even though in a wheel chair i don't think he would want to be in a coma for the rest of his life :o

He was truly SUPERMAN

Christopher Reeve did alot to promote the Science of Stem Cell Research, I hope that his dreams of this new science will be fulfilled.

Must admit to never liking him as an actor but as a human being and role model after his accident I find it difficult to come up with anyone better.

It is just a shame that he really came to my attention due to the accident.

I am genuinely sad that he is dead

they showed in the states that originally he was not chosen for the part of Superman at first Some other Hollywood Stars were in mind, But the Director wanted an unknown

The things is after his accident he did contemplate suicide but his wife helped him through it and he became a motivational speaker instead this is were he got his income.

I just hope they don't stop the progress into solving the mystery of helping people walk again since he has passed on now.

I heard that the director thought Reeves actually looked like the comic book hero, so chose him because of that. :o

Very brave.

Another person comes to mind. Simon Weston, Falklands veteran.

No score cards here, just 2 very brave people who never gave up on life.

Kerry is for, Bush is against. Is that the correct way round?

      Foreign man flees after sexually assaulting Thai woman in condo lift - video

      I wouldn't ever recommend a woman try to attack a male... That places them at far greater risk of retaliation - if I a male is of the state of mind to approach a woman in a threatening manner, the woman would never have time to take out the pencil or weapon - Its a sad state of affiars, but foremost is to ensure they are never alone. But this woman was home already... just taking the elevator, she had no reason to suspect she was in an unsafe situation - with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight she should have excited the lift as soon as the male go it and following this trauma she may do so in the future - but that should never be necessary in a civilised word. --------- I also agree that some males come here and are so out of touch with the realities of the true demographics - some guys so impressed with themselves at being called 'hansum-man' so many times they start to be believe it !!.. My Wife complained that while waiting for baggage at the Airport, some American guy came up to her and offered her a 'stick of gum'.... She apparently said no thank-you and squirmed away.... She asked me... does every foreign male think every Thai girls is 'available'... Sadly its seems some so.. But what I also realise in this situations is that some guys are so excited to be here, they've built themselves up so much they can't wait for any interaction at all... and thus will try anything as an ice-breaker. My Wife was probably quite impolite having taken the wrong end of the stick thinking - does every foreigner think every Thai female is a hooker !!!.. (she's a bit of a snob when it comes to that, so there was likely some offence taken) - I argued that perhaps it as just a nice guy who happened to be stood next to you and took out a stick of gum and figured he'd offer you one too, nothing more to it than that... But, women are very intuitive - if she felt it was sleazy, it probably was - I wasn't there so couldn't tell. I've got into plenty of conversations with 'normal' Thai women... It might be in a supermarket, on a plane etc.. On my last flight I sat next to Thai women - we didn't speak at all through the whole flight. Just a not and a smile when I sat down next to her... clearly she had no intention to interact. Thats fine, I'm generally like that on a flight too. A previous flight, I sat next to a young Thai lady, initially the same response, no interaction - then when the food came, we started talking... and that was that flood-gates opened and we talked non-stop, she was lovely, super intelligent, studying in the USA (clearly wealthy, her father owned a major real estate company in Thailand that we all will have heard of).... I'm married and 20 years older than her - so clearly it was nothing more than that I and I didn't expect anything more than that - just a chat with a pleasant person who made my flight more enjoyable, and I hope I helped pass the time for her too... we said bye at the luggage carousel. Asking for her number ??? No... Of course not, that would have been creepy, I'm married and a lot older. Did she think about asking me for my number?... Of course not, I'm older and married. And that is an interaction with a normal person where there is no ulterior pervy motive - Some guys travelling here are incapable of that and believe they are some sort of adonis and every Thai woman will be interested in them - its a pathetic delusion - but its ok so long as it stops there. When such delusion manifests itself into the guy becoming a pest, following women or even attempting to touch them etc... then action needs to be taken.

      Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert

      Immigration moved up my Extension date due to a new passport, so I'll be extending my stay in December. So I'm not worried about whatever changes being tied to an immigration extension this year. Other than that I'm not doing anything. The US has a DTA and I file taxes in the US. And even if forced, Thailand would just end up giving me back all the money that they withhold on income interest on interest paid to my bank accounts if I'm forced to file in the future. It's a bureaucratic paper shuffle and I'm not interested. Perhaps this is a problem for the uber-wealthy farangs who look down their noses at the rest of us. Isn't for me.

      Little Minds come from Minuscule Screens?: Ever wonder what's wrong with kids today?

      We live in a village in Isaan. My son speaks fluent English because I've only ever spoken English to him since his birth. At school he teaches his class English instead of the teacher, the teacher became embarrassed teaching after acknowledging my son's proficiency, I met him once, he introduced himself as "I am a teacher" I thought he said "I am a T=shirt". All my son's online friends have been arranged into a group chat which can get noisy at times, I once asked him why he can't just watch porn like any other 17 year old, he looked at me disapprovingly and moved his microphone closer, I'm a bad papa.

      Man Accuses 11 Lamphun Police Officers of Illegal Raid and Extortion

      For money you can get almost anything from the RTP. For example, in certain cities, if you have a motorbike rental, you can park it in public parking spaces for a monthly "fee", payable monthly! But no, this is not extortion

      This is what Brits fought for

      I am I missing something ? Where is this famine and starvation ? Is there currently any famine and starvation going on in the world ? Fat overweight Americans going on about starvation and famine and blaming the Jews 🙂
